"DRYS"' TO URGE
BRYAN into RACE
Only Refusal Of Peerless
One Can Avert Stam-
pede Attempt. g.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20-Leaders I'm
various delegations to the prohibit
ton national convention tonight de-
clared they will go into their first
session tomorrow determined to name
William Jennings Bryan as their
presidential nominee despite the fact
that they have received word directly
from Mr.. Bryan that he does not want
the nomination. and does not consider
1t advisable for the party to place a
ticket in the field.
| The only thing that can avert an
| attempt by large group of delegates
to stampede the convention for Bry-
an and name him by reclamation is
for the Nebraskan himself to send
word that he positively will not ac-
cept the nomination, according to
many state leaders. A telegram was
sent to Mr.. Bryan today, informing
him that unless such a statement is
forthcoming his supporters will at
tempt to carry out their plans of plac-
ing him before the people ON the dry
and the platform that can be franz
ed.
The decisin to attempt to force the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan was made
late today after several secret confer
ences of national committeeman, dele
gates and friends of Mr.. Bryan here.
Polling Also Strong.
A lapse in the Bryan boom during
the early hours today revealed that
Dan A. Polling, of New York, acting
International president of the Christ
ian Endeavor, will have considerable
strength, as many delegates announc-
ed him as their second choice, Bryan
being first.
Besides the usual "dry" planKs, the
platform committee will have before
it proposed planks on several other
schedules. Among these will be
tanks advocating public ownership of
railroads and public utilities, a world
tribunal to settle international dis
puates, friendly cooperation" with
Mexico rather than hostile inter-
ference" federal anti-ly1cning laws
and one dealing W blhioatr
and one dealing with labor problems.
And-Tobacco Plank Sought.
Warren G.. Stone, grand chief OF
the Order of Railway Engineers. has
prepared labor plank which will be
resented to the committee. An anti
tobacco plank to be proposed by a
Colorado delegate is not likely to re-
ceive serious consideration, according
to national committeeman.
The national committee today vot-
ed to recommend to the convention
that in future each state name one
man and one woman as members of
the party's national committee.
The proposal introduced by Robert
Patton, Illinois state chairman, was
attacked by B. e. T.. Prugh, PennsyI-
vania state chairman and by G. w.
Dean, of Wisconsin. Dean asserted
that the party had no women mem
bers in Wisconsin who were suitable
for membership on the nationtl COM
mittee.
Ida B. Wise Smith, president OF the
Iowa w. c. T. IT,, appealed to the
Committee not to deny equal rights
to women and the committee then
voted unanimously for Patton's mo-,
ton.

to the front porch campaign.

war work of the fraternity and bark

Marion band, of which he was a MEM

head of the column. They were led
by Representative r. Clint Cole, who

Senator Harding said. land I feel
that the Elks Of the Upited States
have made a record for patriotism
and service that will remain imperish-
able as long as the memory of the
great war endures."
Politics was not touched in the talk
nor did the candidate make any
further statement during the day on

friends are counting on his speech Of
Thursday to develop the

AID FOR POLAND IS BEING CONSIDERED
 BY J. 5. AND ALLIES
Poland Now Considered Only Bulwark Against Bolshevism, Baker Tells
 House Committee
By A.seciated Press

E Washington. Jan. 15.--Definite plans for furnishing Poland with war materials and food to aid in checking the westward cred by the United States and by allied governments, Secretary Baker said today before the House ways and means com mittee. supplementing the declaration of Genx Tasker II. Bliss that Poland was the only hulwark against bolsheyism.
 The committee has before it the pro- sposal of Secretary Glass to authorize $l50,o00 in credits to European countries for the purchase of American food Sup porting that project General Bliss, speak ing from his experience as American rep resentative on the supreme military coun- the American peace delegation to Paris, declared that if Poland were overrun general revival of the war might follow.
 ASPECTS SPECULATIVE
 The military aspects of the foou situa- ton in Europe are "purely speculative as to details. but not as to results, Gen eral Bliss said. It was sthe growing opinion of military experts, he added. that the Russian soviet aEmies would go tow ard the west, where they would out number the Polish forces their only bar rier.
 General Bliss said that in granting leans the United States should demand of the allies that they provide the Poles with military supplies. It was at this point Secretary Baker told sthe commit tee that the allies and She United States were planning to furnish arms to the Poles Such action was favored by the United States government, he said, and to furnish food relief in Poland would be protecting civilization. rather than following out ''humanitarian impulse q
 The attitude of the Poles now beyond the eastern frontier tentatively, fixed for Poland at Paris also was cited by Gem eral Bliss as a possible cause for west ward movement by the Russians. Starva- tion at home. he added, might lead to re- volt in Poland and other countries.
 Chairman Fordney said the committee would determine Monday it's action on the s159 0oO,O0 food credits bill. Both Gen. eral Bliss and MT. Baker said official reports indicated that after the next Eu- ropean harvest hell from the United States for foodstuff would not be neces- Sary

SETTLEMENT OF THE. ADR|AT|C QUESTION
 UP ID JUG0 SLAVS,
 SAYS PREMIER MYTH.
Declares France, Great Britain and Italy In Full Accord-Italy Ready to
 Leave Plume Under
 Control of League
By Associated rrsss

Paris, January 15.-The settlement of the Adriatic question now lies exclusively with the Jugo-Slavs, Premier Nitti of Italy informed the As sociated Press this evening, as the agreement, which was sent to Belgrade for approval yes terday shows that France, Great Britain and Italy are in complete accord. It has been communicated to Washington. where it is hoped it will receive favorable indorsement.
 Referring to the text of the compro- mise, Premier Nitti said that Italy of fered to leave the port of Plume and the railways at Sussak under control of the League of Nations.
 "rhe city itself" added the premier. 'is absolutely Italian in its nature"
 In the opinion of Signor Nitti the Adriatic question has been much ex- aggerated in it's importance in Ameri- ca He was optimistic that a settle ment was near and did not fear inter- ference from the United States
 SETTLEMENT NEAR
 'My relations with President Will son." he continued, have always been very friendly. America desires peace as much as the European nations. and thus cannot leave the AAdriatic ques tion unsettled, when three great pow CTS are in agreement.
 The economic situation in Italy is much better than reported.
 Italy has 2 smaller war debt than any other belligerent, but public senti- ment is irritated because the people feel that they went into the war with all the resources at their command. fought long and bitterly and lost 5oo,- GOO killed. and they cannot understand why there is so much difficulty ovef little barren rock in the Adriatic.
 France and England are bound by the peace pact of London Italy might have held them to the pact, but pre- ferred to waive many things included in the pact and adopt conciliatory spirit so as to arrive at compromise which would satisfy the Jugo-Slavs The Italian Chamber and Senate have never considered the Jugo-Slavs as enc mics, but as friends whom Italy needs and with whom an accord must be made.
 WILL ABIDE BY DECISION
 There has been much talk of Italy's imperialism Statistics will show that there is less foreign population in Italy than in any country in Europe or in America. Italy is willing to abide by the decision of the supreme council The Adriatic matter will be. settled through Paris but if Italy can help the work of the council by direct dealing with the Jugo-Slavs she is will-s ing to undertake it.
 The Adriatic question cannot re- main in suspense. It is imperative thar i be settled immediately We hope that the Jugo- -Slavs will adopt as con cilitary an attitude as Italy. and the matter will be. promptly arranged .t the satisfaction of all.''
 Asked as to who would expel Cab. riele D'Annunzio from Plume once a !, agreement was reached with Belgrade, the premier replied:
 That will be the easiest phase of the problem to settle.'',
