DISCOUNTS ON DELIVERIES.
Phase of Household Expense Prob

To determine whether it will be pos

Denses through a system of discounts
on deliveries is the object of a confer
ence being held at the District build
ing this afternoon between representa-
tfves Of the committee on food supply
and conservation of the District Coun-
Gil of Defense. the Retail Merchants
Association, the Retail Grocers' Protec-
tive Association. the National Woman's
Suffrage Association and the woman's
national committee of the Council of
Defense.
The conference began at 2:3O O'Clock
I'm the Office of Charles F. Nesbit, chair
man Of the food supply and conserva-
ton committee The suggestion that
some system be devised whereby con-
sunlers could be granted a portion of
the saving which accrues when they
carry home their own purchases came
from the consumers committee of the
National Woman Suffrage Association
Of which Mrs. Newton D. Baker is chair
man Mrs. Baker and William II. Bald

Details Arranged for Great
Socialist Peace Conference
The International Gathering at Stockholm Next
Month to Demand Attitude Toward War of
Delegations From Beligerent Countries.

how the socialist leaders can reconcile
with their socialist consciences their
liberation and even approval of the So
cialism OF their fellow countrymen who
continue to fight. If unity of agree
ment can be brought out and maintain
ed among all delegations 1t Is likely
that a practical socialist peace pro-
gram. approved by the worlds social
lists. VIII be drawn p and delegations
Will be sent home \, enforce it by such
instruments as national strikes, If
peaceful persuasion is rendered impos-
slole or sterile. The conference is ex-
pected to last two weeks.
1t is not expected that the American
celegat1on will loom very large, as the
United States is not one of the nations
which can possibly be accused of set
ting a match to the world war The
position OF our Russian Jew delegates
Is curious. AS described by me in a
previous cable, they have done more
than any other delegation to vilify
The governments national aims in the
war. though nearly all other socialists
must grant that America had the best
reason for entering the war Of any ma
ton but Belgium.
Many Interpreters Needed.
An elaborate system of interpreters
will be necessary in this Babel The
oHclal language of this gathering will
be French. German and English. An
interpreter Will sit with every group
After the foreign delegate has spoken
various groups of interpreters will ex-
plain the main points of the speech
to those around them. In some cases
Russian speeches. for instance. will
have to be Interpreted into German
and French before the Sloyak. Croat
and Bulgar interpreters are able to
grasp the versions and transfer them
into their own tongue.
Meanwhile. the Zimmerwaldists. or
men who demand instantaneous social
revolutions in every country of the
earth, are still worldly active in their
endeavors to steal the thunder of their
saner brethren. After each inquiry in
the last three months they have as
sured me that a great Zimmerwaldist
