OPPOSED TO MERGER
Delegates to Progressive National
Convention in St. Louis
Sign Pledge.

BY the Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, Mo, April ia clear
declaration of the attitude of the pro-
sressiVe party regarding the war is ex-
pected to result from the national con-
vention of the party which met here to-
day for a session that may continue the
rest of the week.
Matthew Hale of Boston, national chair
man. called the convention together with
a speech. in which he said the progress
sive party had too much power to throw
away. The party, he said. should unite
the progressive elements of all parties.
I'VE must see to it, he said that
the United States becomes more liberal
rather than less liberal as the result of
this war. We must uphold the President
in lis determ ina tion to make the entrance
of the United States in this world con-
flict mean a victory for democracy and
rot a victory for plutocracy or autocracy."
As each delegate entered the convention
he signed a card pledging himself to op-
pose any action to merge the progressive
party with the democratic or republican
party.

The Reason for Horizon Blue.

The day that the English troops

to perceive for the first time the really

Bathing, of course Is only one of the
attractions at Mar del Plata. There
are amusements for men. women and
children For adults the famous So
cial club, housed in its own fine build
ing, has many attractions. It's doors
are open to members and their famil-
les only, and it's halls are regarded as
among the resorts most popular social
centers. This club is open from De-
cember to April. Many beautiful walks
and drives along the seashore cliffs
and inland from the water are provid-
ed for those inclined to wander far
from the 'madding crowds ignoble
strife;" retreats for those who would
look out over the vast expanse of the
ocean and mediate: quiet spots for
the dreamer or for the pleasure-worn
society victim.
On the other hand. there is an ar
ray of sights at Mar del Plata that
cannot fail to please those seeking
gay social life and amusement. Bands
of music outdoors and orchestras with

cial teas, fencing classes, gymnasium
lessons, shooting matches, card games
and, indeed, a hundred and one other
features of amusement drive ones
cares to the winds and enjoyment
reigns supreme. The golf club and the
jockey club are two other popular
places of amusement frequented by the
higher classes of society.
The absence of the familiar automo-
bile, so plentiful in other Argentine
cities, attracted the writer's attention.
Possibly today the carriages and fine
steeds are being relegated to the past:
but that idea does not appear to be in
keeping with the country, for the aver
age Argentine gentleman prides HIM
self on his fine horses, and many, no
doubt, are not content to spend their
summer days without their equine IA
vorites.

the glad occasion. Both were given
cake and things, and afterward they
happily pranced Off ia the upper part

Two hours later the mother of Bes-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone in

fancy figures. Magnificent private res
licences as well as public buildings, ho-
tells and other edifices were created,
and wealthy aristocrats made sure
that everything modern and luxurious
was Installed within their homes, even
II occupied very few months in the
year. Ideas Of elegance and beauty
in seaside construction were adopted
from some of Europes famous resorts
and combined with those suggested by
home talent, so today Mar del Plata Is
fair to look upon.
A lengthy and beautiful structure
known as the Rambla, extends along
the most popular section of the bath
ing beach. The sands and breakers in
front of the Rambla furnish the wa
terry playground for thousands of peo-
pie. Unlike the coarse largely fol-
lowed by the coastal resorts of the
United States, the hotels and clubs at
Mar del Plata, as a rule, are located
back in the city. This fact causes the
people to congregate IN larger numbers
on the spacious areas of the Rambla,
especially during the bathing and
promenade hours. An architectural
feature of this beautiful structure is
the large number Of columns stand
ing in pairs along the front, giving it,
especially from the beach, a most at
tractive and inviting appearance.
Fine Rafhinn Reach
In front of the Rambla the sea
washes the sandy sloping shore, and
1T is there that visitors by hundreds or
thousands enjoy the bathing during
morning or afternoon hours. For
those who are just learning the art Of
swimming or are afraid of the sea, a
fine extensive pool of quiet water is
provided on shore. This attraction is
surrounded by fence and within the
Enclosure are seats, usually well patron
lied by those who enjoy the an
tics of the novice. Another feature OF
this beach is the number of tents and
sunshades which stretch along the
