Both the Wood and Lowden forces

to them. made an aggressive attempt
to force the issue before the day
was over. The pre-arranged scheme.
and general suppositlon was that
having broiled all day while listen

speeches. the convention would take
one or two ballots and then adjourn
until tomorrow. But as the fortunes
Of both Wood and Lowden appeared
to be definitely in the ascendant
their managers sent word across the
floor that their respective supporters
should oppose adjournment. Both
Hitchcock and Emmerson signaIled
full steam ahead"
After the second ballot. a motion
to adjourn was offered only to be
overwhelmingly defeated after a
roll call Of the States.
The Johnson forces. hoping the
night and time would fight on their
side. voted for adjournment. After
the third ballot another attempt
to take recess was essayed. That,
too. owing to combined wood-Low-
den opposition was unsuccessful.
The Wood and Lowden generalissi-
mos decided to try their luck on a
fourth ballot. and. IL IL brought
them no nearer the eagerly desired
and magic 493 votes necessary to
nominate, mutually agreed to as
sent to adjournment for the night.

o'clock that 1T is a vote" and that

Berlin. June lI.-Ihe political
situation remains 30 complicated
and the problem Of forming q gov
eminent based on any possible ma
tority In the Reichstag 10 condi-
TONED upon so many uncertain fac
tors that the only positive fact
thus far established IL that In a
parliament of is0 members 23i con-
stitute q majority. Even the rash
est political speculator does not
venture to predict positively where
or whether this majority ultimately
will be found.
One ray OF light is cast by the
declaration OF the Munich organ
Of the Bavarian Peoples Party that
this offshoot from the Clerical Cen
ter Party is. willing to join the
Clericals. Democrats and the, Ma
jority Socialists in prolonging tho
present coalition government. Such
q combination would have thirteen
votes more than . majority as long
as the hold-over members from the
plebiscite areas remain In their
seats. That would permit q csbi-
net 10 be formed which would hold
once until the all-important con-
ference at Spa Is over.
The Bavarian Peoples Party Is
creation of the conservative
Catholic politicians OF Bavaria who
broke away from the regular Cler-
ical Party, which they accused of
paying too little attention to Ba-
varian special interests and of do
ing nothing to prevent the central
king policies OF the federal gov
ernment. They elected twenty-one
members to the Reichstag.
A large element Of the Socialists
Is openly set on jumping the traces
and refusing to join the govern
ment or combination in which the
Independent Socialists are not rep
resented. The mouthpiece of thi.
group Is Vorwaerts, which Is tax
ing practical steps to attain its end
by heaping abuse upon the Catn-
olic leaders in the hope OF provok
ing an explosion which will disrupt

Notwithstanding the advice of

ment Of Justice for handling the
sugar situation, which IL rapidly
drifting toward famine conditions.
The departments program has
been completed. Howard z. Figg,
Assistant Attorney General in
charge of high cost OF living cam
psign, announced yesterday. but
details will not be made public at
this time.
Its success rests upon the ability
of the department to convince the
manufacturers of candy and soft
drinks that they should voluntarily
curtail their consumption of sugar
so that housewives can get a rea-
sonable supply for the canning sea
son. No attempt, however, will be
made to force a curtailment of
the candy, ice cream and soft drink
industries.
Apparently the burden Of the su-
gar shortage, IL conditions get
worse, will fall upon domestic con-
sumers. The department has
brought about an agreement be-
tween refners and the commercial
canning and preserving interests
by which the canning factories will
receive enough sugar to see the m

Reports that the United States
might get an appreciable amount
Of sugar from Canada are under
