APPROXIMATION ACTIVITY
 NOTICEABLE IN SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco. Cal. June 21.-With the opening of the democratic national con vention week away, stir of activity was noticeable about hotel headquarters today in addition to the preliminary work tine auditorium where the delegates will gather.
 It took the form of informal discussion between national committee members and state leaders already on the ground. de- voted chiefly to anticipated struggles with platform building There was virtually no talk as to presidential candidates.
 A plain intimation ran through this undercurrent of platform talk that pro- posals to modify the federal prohibition enforcement act were expected by some of the democratic war horses to share honors with, if not to eclipse. the league of nations issue. Nobody has any direct statement to make nor would anybody talk for publication. Some of the men who will have a hand in shaping the par tvs declaration of principles. however. talk much privately of a popular demand that the doctrine of states rights should apply to beer restrictions.
 Taken in connection with the an- nounced purpose of W. J. Bryan to re- sist any weakening of prohibition en- forcement measures. the talk brought to the surface the feeling of prominent dem ocrats already here that a fierce battle on the point in the resolutions committee was not to be avoided. They believed also that ultimately the question would be fought out on the convention floor.
 Discussions of the league plank appar- ently awaited the arrival of Senator Glass of Virginia. slated to head the resolu- tions committee. and coming direct from conference with President Wilson. The contest over the league issue already has been sharply defined in the conflicting views of the president and Mir. Bryan and talk about the hotel Hobbies today did not disclose great immediate interest l in the questions involved
 f The name of Senator Walsh of Mon tana was injected into the discussion to- day as the probable permanent chairman of the convention. The Montana senator was mentioned by a number of leaders ir tentative way, although others said tha ! they believed Secretary Colby of the state | department would be the man urged by administration forces, despite his state
 ment that he was not a candidat/ for the | post.
 No delegations have put in an appear | ance yet except for a state leader herr ana there, coming anead 10 arrange dc | commodations for his associates and tC

PREMIERS ARE TO DEMAND
 GERMAN DISARMAMENT i,

Boulogne June 21-(By The A. P.)- The conference of the premiers tonight or tomorrow will send to Germany a letter demanding execution of the claus es of the treaty of Versailles relating to disarmament. The text will not be given out until it is received at Berlin, but the letter is understood to be cate gorial refusal to allow Germany to main tain an army of 20n.000 men. This let ter. which Marshal Foch and Field Mar shal Wilson finished drafting at their hotel while most of the delegates ar- tended a picnic lunch. was taken up by the council immediately upon reconven- ing this afternoon. The conferences all so discussed reparations and the Turk ish situation at this session, which was prolonged until a late hour.
 The premiers considered the reports of the financial experts, as we'll as the reports of the separations commission which for the first time is sitting here concurrently with the peace conference The experts fix the maximum total sum Germany is to pay with interest ir an nuties of a minimum of 30n0, 900 .00t marks gold. which is susceptible of ;n- crease in proportion to Germanv,s econ. omic recovery and increased cap& city te pay
 While the members of tie cDnfereacs seem agreed as to the amounts and con ditions of payment. they do not agree a! | to the division of the reparation among themselves because of Italy's demand fo l 20 per cent of the amount instead of per cent. originally allotted. Both thu | reparations and Turkish questions vii | be further considered tomorrow | Although the Hythe meeting resulte, in an agreement regarding Greek nli 1 tary activities in Turkey, the confarenc has not yet reached decision t1 thi subject. The delegates hope to con clude the conference so that they may b able to leave Boulogne Tuesday even ing.
 Turkey will not be given an extensio of time to consider the peace treaty, ac cording to communique given out h the delegates after their return from tn conference at S30 o'clock tonight. IT. | communique says:
 The Turkish question has been con sdered and it has been decided to main tain the date of June 26 for Turkey t submit her reply to the peace condition,
