sentatives and Senator John Walter

rnings bill was adopted by the Mary
land and District of Columbia Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in session here.
The body also voted to use every

of these men who in the future

Franks stand on the bill was COM
mended.
1t was resolved to send q question
naire to all candidates for public
ONCE demanding their stand on the
Volstead act. the repeal of which -
indorsed by the federation. The
present prison contract system, ap-
plicable to the Maryland peniten-
tiary and the Maryland house of cor
rection, was denounced as a detri-
ment to free labor.
The body pledged full support to
cooperate with the federal board
for vocational education for former
service men who sustained peyman-
ent injury in the war
1t was resolved that apprentice
ship regulations should not inter-

Delaware's six delegates will go
to Chicago uninstructed. The plat
form adopted by the convention ex-
pressed no preference for President
and Vice President.
The equal suffrage resolution was
adopted by viva voce vote. Legis-
lators who have been opposing the
amendment said afterwards they
Will not support it at this legisla-
tive session. The resolution urged
them to do SO, however.
Although rebuffed by his fellow
countians from Sussex. Governor
Townsend was praised by the con-
vention. His administration was
commended in a resolution. Praise
was given particularly for efforts
to improve health. school and high
way conditions.
The convention also commended
Republican members of Congress
from Delaware for patriotic per-
formance of duty" and the legisla-
ture for creating a commission to
revise the school code.
Belshevism, increased housing ia
cilities, the bigh cost Of living and
national anA State budgets were
subjects touched in the platform.
The public was urged to give the
Republican party an opportunity
"to make peace that will recognize
all the obligations of the United
States to the rest of the world"
Gov. Townsend's rout was laid to
his stand in favor of suffrage, prohi-
bition and the school code.
Retention of Coleman Du Pont as
party leader in Delaware is said
to meet with the approval of Will

take a more active part in politics
than in the recent past.

BY JOHN HEARLEY.

San Reno is bounded on the
north by France and on the south
by Czarist Russia. The Russian
Grand Duke Nicholas is a Santa
Margherita neighbor of the allied
conferees.
The situation is a study in dra-
matte contrasts. Behind the scenes
are all the color and excitement of
Old World politics and intrigues.
The greatest of the Romanoffs," Z"
the uncle of the late Car. is the
heir-pretender to the Russian
throne. He is the psychological
center of the worldwide anti-Bol-
sheviki movement Of a great group
of Russian exiles.
A few score miles above him the
Big Three" are now toying with
his political hopes. Premiers Lloyd
George. Millerand and Nitti are
considering a rapprochement with
the Soviet government.
The recognition of the proletarian
Lenine would be the doom's day of
the grand dukes dynastic preten-
sions. On the other hand. Russian
mobiles generally insist that Russia's
masses still long for their former
idol" Nichol&s.
Nicholas Watches Litvino6.
The Grand Duke Nicholas sought
and received shelter in Italy after
the Russian revolution. He fed
Russia to escape the tragic fate
of the Gar.
The Villa Margherita, at Santa
Margherita, was placed at his dis
posal. There. on the Italian Ri
viera. he is living today with his
sister, the Russian Duchess, Anas-
tasia.
She came to Italy for asylum aft
er living in France had become diff
ficult for her. As the mother of
the ex-Crown Princess of Germany,
she allegedly was given scant
courtesy by the French.
Maxim Litvinoff is pressing to
attend the San Reno conference
as the representative of Moscow.
France. however. is blocking his
overland journey into Italy.
Should Litvinoff eventually reach
San Reno by airline or otherwise.
Grand Duke Nicholas may spring
to action. Political fact is often
stranger than romantic fiction. and
it is not impossible that Russia's
old order and the new may yet
face each other over an allied con-
ference table.

Dover, Del, April 20.-Coleman
Du Pont retained his grip as Repub-
lican leader in Delaware today when
the Republican State Convention
not only elected hi ma delegate to
the Chicago convention but desig-
mated him to succeed himself as the
Delaware member Of the Republican
National Comittee for anothr four
years.
Supporters Of Alfred I. Du Pont,
who had been looked on as Gen.
Du Pont's rival for leadership hon

as well as a Russian background.
In prewar times 1t was aristocratic
Germany's playground.
During the war many a German
villa along the colorful coast was
regarded as a source of espionage.
And certain submarine sinkings
in the nearby Mediterranean were
indirectly attributed to mysterious
flashlight signals from coastal resi-
dences.
San Reno itself was really dis
covered by the parents of the for
mer Kaiser. Wilhelm himself occa-
sionally visited it.
In fact, before the war San Re-
mos principal street was called the
Corso William II. When America
became a combatant the thorough
fares name was changed to Corso
Wilson.
Now the street has again been
rechristened. This time 1t has been
given the inspirational title of the
Corso Fiume.
The City Council of San Reno is
responsible for the significant
change. The "City Fathers" appar-
emily hope that Lloyd George. Mile
rand and Wilson will sit up and
take notice"
ItaIy's Economic Maladies.
Premier Nitti is bent upon using
the conference as a medicine closet
of cures for Italy's economic ills.
He is handling the Italian financial
discussions before Lloyd George
and Millerland with considerable
energy.
The Italian statesman Is said to
have become an advocate of the
pooling" system for the payment
of the allied war debts. He is also
insisting that Italy share in the
benefits of any English oil exploit
tation in mandatory territories of
the Near East.
Diplomatic circles here believe
that a new financial agreement be-
tween London and Rome is in
prospect. This belief comedies
with intimations in Pertinax's dis
patches to his Paris paper.
Nitti's economic manoeuvres have
already had an American flare back.
The Italian government has just
placed an embargo upon the ex-
portation of all Italian bonds to
this country.
Paris. London and Rome are
manifesting a new independence of
official Washington. The allied re-
lection of President Wilson's pro-
posed Turkish settlement is widely
construed here as a positive step
toward the parting of the ways.
