Rutland, Vt, July Ex-Governor Clem- ent today issued proclamation refus- ing to call the legislature in special ses- sion to make possible ratification of the federal amendment for woman suffrage.
 The governors proclamation follows a conference he had at Washington re- gently with Senator Harding, at which 1t Is understood the republican presiden- tial nominee discussed with him the pos sibility of having ratificaton completed by the republican legislature of Yer mont.
 In giving his reasons for refusing again to call a special session, Governor Clem- ent said the proposed amendment clearly invades the constitution of Vermont; that the present legislature was elected before the question of ratifying the fed eral amendment had arisen and that the people of the state have had no oppor- tunty to express themselves on the issue.
 The governor proposed that the matter be taken up by the next legislature, and urged that candidates for election be re- quired to declare themselves on 1t Governor Clements proclamation as- serted that is it stands and is inter preted by the supreme court today, the federal constitution threatens the foun- dation of free popular government.

RED CROSS QUITS WILMA

Warsaw, July 12.-The American relief association and the American Red Cross have completed their evacuation of Wilma in the north and of Lemburg on the southern front.
 At last accounts the bolsheviki were forty kilometers from Wilma. Extensive preparations have been made for the defense of that city Lemburg IS not vet in immediate danger.
 While the evacuation of Warsaw is being considered by foreigners in the event the city is menaced by the bol- sheviki, confidence is expressed in Amer ican circles that the bolsheviki never will cross the line of Ethonological Poland, as the peasants in various districts are reported to be organizing to join the army to prevent invasion.

CREW WON'T WASH AND SHIP IS HELD
 AT QUARANTINE
By Associated Fress

Boston. July 12.-The White Star liner Cretic has been held at quar- antine since Friday because the crew refuses to be washed. The de- tention involves 1,543 steerage pas- sengers and is costing the company about S2OO,OOO day. Ffrst-ciass passengers were allowed to land without bathing.
 The trouble grew out of the fact that port authorities at Naples re- gently hnve refused to allow Ameri- can health officials to examine emi- grants. As a result no clean bill of health could be given the Cretic here. And it was ordered that the crew and steeraEe passengers be washed for disinfection. The pas sengers submitted, but the crew re- fused. and health officials insist the ship shall not budge until all those aboard have been washed

 1 This was the first definite announce

 MT. Rooseevlt also reiterated Cover nor Coxs recent intimation that the cam paign will be carried into the west at an early date. He said he expected to take the stump immediately, after his official notification. The notification ceremonies, he said he hoped would be at his home at Hyde Park, N. Y. He also stated that he expected to resign as assistant secretary of the navy about August 1. or imme- diately after the return of Secretary Dan iels from Alaska.

 KEY ID SITUATION
 WITHIN THIRD PARTY
Both Sides Want Him for Candidate and He h. sists cn Their Joining
 Together
By CLINTON w. GILBERT

Chicago. July 12.-tspeciaL) )-Commit- tees of the labor party and of the com mttee of forty-eight are struggling to- day with the question of naming the new third party which they voted last night to create. The labor party in- sists that the new party shall be named the Farmers Labor Party.
 Many of the committee of forty-eight object to this title as indicating a class party. They prefer the name of the United Party. In this, as in all other matters, the final say will probably be with Senator LaFollette, whose agents are on the scene and who control tho situation.
 The vote last night of the conference committees to amalgamate the labor par ty and the committee of forty-eight brought united third party nearer and came in response to pressure from the LaFollette agents, who told both sides that the senator would not run unless was reached

GOAL ULTIMATUM ISSERVED UPON THE
 GERMANS AT SPA
Must Deliver 2,000,000 Tons Monthly or Allies Will Take Steps to Enforce
 Versailles Treaty
RY AssnoIaiad Press

Spa, Belgium, July 12.- The allies served an ultimatum upon the German delegation to the conference here late this afternoon that the Germans must agree by three o'clock tomorrow afternoon to deliver to the allies 2,000,000 tons of coal monthly. Otherwise, the Germans were informed the allies will take measure to en- force the terms of the Yer sailles treaty.
 mans have reached another tense point. The spirit of conciliation adopted by both sides has prevented a break thus far. but the allies found it was necessary to issue this ultimatum for carving out the treaty. which would entit1e them to a greater amount of coal than now is demanded
 The question of coal was the sub ject of controversy during a three hour session.
 The allies began by insisting upon a monthly delivery of 2.200.000 tons. The Germans offered 100000 tons and the allies reduced their demand to 1000, 0ooo.
 Dr. simons, the German foreign min- ister represented that, being the very l1% i,d, toI If Germany, every ton that Germany sent to the allies meant that much less pro- duction.
 He said:
 SIMONDS' CONTENTION
 My contention is in European in- terests as much as in the interest of Germany, because our payments to you are conditioned upon our indus trial production. You want your money. We want you to have it, but how can we pay large sums if you take away huge quantities of coal?"
 The German foreign minister off, fered then to increase the deliveries of coal from 100000 tons to 1,400.000 within six months. and to 1.700.0O0 tons within a year. This could only be done. he said, if the allies made better food conditions possible for the miners and contlIDnIed f3sWa malerlal 10 Dullu houses For more miners. ~ 5 fiie piesnlsrs, after proIcEg$l d s- cussion, informed Chancellor Fehren- bach and Dr. Simons that the allies must have their final answer tomor- row.
 If the German reply was rejec- ton, the allies, it was declared, would take measures to enforce their de- mands either by occupation of mining territories or by sending their own coal commission into Germany to ex- anime the situation in the mining re- gions.
 The ultimatum was delivered in the auietest tone by the Belgian premier. M. Delacroix. as the meeting dissolved. Mir. Lloyd George said to Mr. Simons:
 Think this over and come to our terms"

DIFFICULTIES STILL EXIST

i The difficulties over the platform re- 1 main to be worked out. The addition of ten western members to the procedure committee of the forty-eight made that committee more radical and brought t nearer an agreement with the labor party i in regard to standardization and demo- cratic control of industry in regard to
 platform.
 LaFollette's representative. Gilbert W Roe. his former law partner. now of New York City, and his son, Robert M. l.% Toilette, Jr., conferred with the repre-. sentatives of the committee of forty eight and with the labor leaders La
 Toilette will probably be able to brins about unity between these two groups and effect the creation of third party LaFollette wants to see such a part created, and he wants to be it's candi- date His position has been made clear to the leaders of both sides. He will take the nomination if the conferences here result in what promises to be per manent party. He is unwilling to underso the labors of the campaign for a mere party of protest, which will disappear with the end of this campaign. The test of permanency seems to be q lunion between the labor element and the committee of forty-eight
 LaFolette is a powerful factor making for an agreement between the forty eight and the labor leaders. Both groups are overwhelmingly in favor of him as their candidate He probably would oe nominated by exclamation in this con- vention if it was certain he would ac'
