of entente Socialist parties prior to the international Socialist conference in Stockholm was revealed today in the announcement that Petrograd had been proposed as the scene of the conference.
 According to H. L. Slobodin. presi- dent of the New York Socialist party, one of the signers of the message, the object of a conference at Petro- grad would be two-fold. to aid the Russian Socialists in establishing the government and to bring about among entente Socialists a united front to defeat German intrigue at Stock holm.
 A Petrograd conference, he ex- plained. would permit the entente So- cialist parties to define their position before the Stockholm conference takes place and at the same time would convince the Russian Socialists "that their comrades are not against them, but with them"

NEW YORK. May 17-Four of the six co-defendants with Captain Franz Rintelen. of the German navy. charged with conspiring to disrupt this country's munitions business in 1915, declared at their trial here to- day that the anti-munitions activi- ties which led them into the tolls of the law. grew out of various hu- manitarian endeavors in which they had been engaged for many years as their chief life work.
 All denied they ever had heard of Rintelen or that they ever suspected German money was back of Labor's National Peace council. in which the government charges they were drawn together to carry out the alleged plot.
 Henry B. Martin. a defendant. sec retary of the American Antitrust League. testified that it was solely his peace ideals and his antitrust activities that led him to take an in- terest in the campaign against the munitions trade.

Irish Nationalist Leader Rejects
 British Proposals
Suggestion That Convention of Irishmen Be Called To Discuss Government, How ever, Accepted.
(By Review Leased Wire). <.


 LONDON. May F (4:51 p. m) John Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalists in the house of commons, today rejected the pro posal of Premier Lloyd George for the settlement of the home rule question. but accepted the proposal for the immediate call ing of a convention to decide on a government for Ireland.
 Many of the Nationalists be- lieve the partition policy was adopted as tactital move to de- feat home rule and that once home rule was recognized as in- evitable, even the Unionist coun- ties would vote themselves in.
 It is further pointed out that the proposals not only prevent the Nationalist counties of Tyrone and Fermanagh from voting them selves in, but hinder their coming in later by providing for their in- clusion with others in one suit. The suggested convention of all representative Irishmen however, is cordially welcomed by all sec tions of the Nationalists who re- gard it as based on a full conces- sion of the home rule principle.

 The impression still prevails in many quarters that the Liberty Loan already has been oversubscribed. This not only is untrue, it was authorita- lively said tonight. but probably not one-half of the loan has been taken, in cluding allowance for s450. 100000 of treasury certificates of indebtedness already issued.

tent Of managers he may be expected
to make good with the 1917 vandever
team.
Vandever fans are glad that New

Wilmington this year. The Ninth
Warders very happily recall the days
OF 1912 and 13, when rivalry was BIT
ter between the New Castle and the
Vandever fans. and hope for a return
this year OF the pleasant sport rela-
/ tions.
vandever's decision to stick 70 the
league reopens discussion as TO the
teams which will compose the All.
Wilmington this year. Brownson has
/ not yet expressed its intention to
play. The Brandywine and the East
lake clubs have about decided 10 con-
solidate All the other clubs will be
back This means that the league Is
sure at this time Of Pioneers, Ban
croft, Vandever, Brandywine- -Eastlake.
Eden. New Castle, and possibly
/ Brownson. Should the Fourth and
Jackson street team fail TO come back
the league would be sure OF six teams
The fact that Browntown has applied
for admission, may mean the league
will go after an eighth team. and con-
tinue the present eight club organi-
zation. This detail. however. will not
be determined until the vandever en-
closed field question is settled Should
the field be erected, a majority of the
managers will favor a six club league,
playing games on the enclosed New
Castle. Brandywine- -Eastlalke (Front
and Union), and Vandever fields This
arrangement would mean higher class
teams all around. There is no doubt
that the venture would be successful
financially. Moreover. II would be the
first year for enclosed ground base
ball in the Wilmington. OF course
all the managers are hoping the Van
dever fans will carry out their pro-
ject.
The reorganization meeting Of tho
Wilmington League will be held on
Friday night, February 2.
Vandever fans win do their pow
wowing tonight. All fans IN the Van

present and to speak their little
pieces for a faster team than ever.

into a triple tie with Meadow Springs
and Camden for fourth place in the
league race. The victory was the Dem
lists fourth Of the season, and landed
them in first place with no club to
dispute their position as leader
The West Chester Gun Club sur
prised every club in the league by TAX
ing the strong Lansdale team into
camp by the tune Of 432 to 40. Their
victory brought the former leaders
down to a tie with Highland and West

AS a result of the local clubs victory,
the Darby organization was forced
