that the Scarlet vii! start with Adams

center, and Captain Burns and Crater,
guards. These men are being pressed
hard for places, however, as the first
string subs are developing rapidly and
are always ready to hop into action.

FREE TRUCKS
CAMP MONDAY

With the program of activities
completed and indications that an
immense crowd will attend the
Fourth of July celebration at South
er Field Monday, Central of Geor-
gia officials today advised the camp
authorities they would be unable to
furnish equipment for the special
train that was to have been operated
between Americas and the camp.
As a result, the entire fleet of
trucks at the post here will be pu,
into commission to haul passengers
from the city to the camp, and trans
portation there will be free to all.
The trucks will make as many trips
as possible, Major Schroeder said tc
day, and every nvenience possible
for the comfort of passengers will
be provided. The trucks will arrive
and depart from the Windsor hotel.
At the camp parking space will be
provided for all privately owned
cars, and special men will be detailed
to see that these are not molested
Military policemen will be stationed
upon the roads outside the camp to
prevent congestion, and all parking
areas within the post enclosure will
be plainly indicated.
The short road from the district
air service warehouse to the Bagley
road has already been blocked and
this will remain closed to travel be-
cause of the danger OF congestion at
the point where this enters the main
road from the camp to Americus.

Among other international SUBJ
jects touched upon was non-admis
sion of Asiatic immigrants and de-
clared it would be as a national pol-
icy true expression of the iudg-
ment OF the people," Support was
pledged to states where enforcement
Oh that policy is OF particular
concern.
The Mexican plank asserted that
the administration, remembering in
all circumstances that Mexico is an
independent state, has been unwill-
ing to profit by the misfortunes of
the peoples of Mexico or to enfeeble
thelr future by imposing outside
rule upon their temporarily dis
tracted councils.
The new Mexican government
should be recognized when it has
proved its ability to maintain order.
slgnl1ed its Willingness to meet ITS
international obligations and had
gwen to foreigners in Mexico
Rights as well as duties," the plank
continued. 1t served notice, how
ever, that until that time Mexico
must realize the propriety of the
pollcy that asserts the right of the
United States to demand full pro-
lection for its citizens"
On one point the committeeman
apparently were full accord. The
platform sharply indicted the Repub-
lican Congress and party on many
counts, including warning of well
defined indications" of impending
assault upon the vital principals
of the federal reserve system IN the
event lof Republican victory in
November.
The financial plank condemned the
''pernicious attempt of the RepubIi-
can party to create discomfort
among holders of bonds of the gov
ernment' and to drag our public
finance, our banking and currency
systems back into the arena of party
politics."
Failure to enact tax revision mea-
sures through sheer political cow
ardice" was also charged against the
Republicans, Congress having made
no move, it was asserted, toward
readjustment of the tax laws which
it denounced before the last election
ana was AFRAID TO revise before the
next election. Claims of Republican
economy were branded as false
pretense."
But the attack on the Republicans
reached its climax in a separate
plank devoted to Republican cOrrup-
ton. This section discussed "the
shocking disclosures of lavish use of
money" by candidates for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination and
"the conviction of Republican Sem
ator" from Michigan. charged with
having violated the campaign expen-
diture laws, drawing the inference
that there is indicated a "re-entry,
under Republican auspices, of money
as an infue 1tial factor in elections,''
"stern popular rebuke" is invoked.
The Republicans, the platform adds,
controls the Senate only by virtue Of
the Michigan election mentioned.

NEW YORK, July 2,-Why did al
women "fall for" middle-aged Joseph
Bovine Elwell, the card king OF
America" whose mysterious murder
in his New York home has disclosed
the fact that his feminine intimates
numbered more than so young girls
of extraordinary beauty?
asked this question today OF
Beatrice Tremaine, the New York
artists model, one of whose letters
was found in the home of Elwell
and whose name, therefore, has been
linked with the case. l found Miss
Tremaine with her mother in their
elegantly appointed apartment over
lC Oking Washinton Square at Fifth
avenue, and in culture and looks she
transcended even her reputation.
Women liked Mr.. Elwell," she
said, pensively, because he was al,
ways gentleman in their presence.
He treated them as a coulter might
treat queen-not, of course, act
ing as though he were an inferior
in any way, but rather as though he
could not do other than MAINTAIN the
perfect, impersonal attitude of one
WlIuOuI preSumpLuOuSnESS.
Indifferent Air Piqued Women.
This manner of detachment, of
course, made for enchantment with
women, because it impaired to him
an air of melancholy indifference
and, say what you will, women's in
terest Is piqued by an indifference
to their charms. A man who falls
too easily a victim soon becomes
a bore; the challenge is gone from
the relationship, and woman, always
'omethlng of huntress herself, be-
flns casting glances in other direc-
tons. There is no woman living who
does not want to have to battle lit
tie to win a man. Nothing worth
having, W. man knows, cones without
struggling for it.
In addition to his great gentle
ness with women, his air of intrinsic
Difference toward them, Joe Elwell
mad all the social graces and the So
clal equipment needed to solldlfy his
natural attractiveness. He played
bridge, as everyone knows, with bril-
hant dash; he danced dlvinely; he
was OF most pleasing appearance tall
and hIlthe and hard; he drove his
motors auperbly; he talked well and
exhibited mind trained and cultur-
ed, and ne had three homes furnished
with rare taste, where he entertained

BULLETINS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-The
battle of the vets and dIys got un-
der way when after the platform
was read without making any men
ton of prohibition plank, Bryan
was recognized to offer a bone dry
plank as a minority report.
Under the rules Bryan was. re-
CURED to read all Of his proposed
planks before discussio nof any of
them could begin. The bone dry
prOpc sition he presented first and
then followed declarations he had
drafted for the publication of a gov
ernment bulletin, for dealing with
protiteers and to put the party on
record as opposing compulsory mill
tary training in times of peace.
When he came to the last of his
five planks which dealt with the
league of nations, Bryan prefaced
its reading by saying that nothing
contained IN 1t was intended to con-
tilct with the majority platform
words of praise for the president.
The peace treaty, he added, was
better than any one had a right to
expect" considering the circum-
stances with which the president had
to deal. Some noes" interrupted
the reading of the Bryan league
plank, but its provisions also got
some applause.
When Bryan had presented his
five planks and a prohibition plank
by former Congressman Hobson, w.
Bourke Cochran presented a substi-
tute for Bryan's prohibition plank
declaring for the manufacture for
home consumption onlv of cider,
light wines and beers"
On motion of Chairman Glass de-
bate was limited to three hours and
thirty minutes on the suspension of
the rules. Bryan was recognized for
one hour and the real fight started
off.

PLATFORM APPLAUDS WILSON'S STAND
ONLEAGUE; APPROVES RESERVATIONS

AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO
July 2.-(By Associated Press. >
All set for the battle of the wets
and drys, the Democratic national
convention assembled this morning
with everything ready for battle
royal. The first skirmish was set
to come on the submission of wet
plank by James c. Nugent, of New
Jersey, and a dry plank by W. j.
Bryan. There was little prospect
for balloting for the nominee be-
fore tonight.
The resolutions committees draft
of the Democratic platform laid be-
fore the convention for adoption af-
ter two nights of struggle with clash
ing interests and opinions.
Further conflict IN the convention
was regarded as certain. Irish sym
pathizers among the delegates had
served notices of their purpose to
seek to have the plank rewritten to
include a declaration for diplomatic
recognition of the Irish republic. De-
feated in his effort to force bone
dry declaration through, VIM. j.
Bryan expected to renew the battle
on the floor of the convention. The
committees platform remained s.l-
ent on prohibition enforcemnt.
1t was a long document and
treated wide range of subjects, in
cluding agriculture, labor, soldier re-
lief and a score of domestic ques-
tions. The preamble, which was
brief, paid tribute to President Will
sons leadership. On one point the
committeeman apparently were in
full accord-the platform sharply
indicated the Republican congress
and party on many counts.
Foremost among the planks came
endorsement of the League of Ma
tions and condemnation of the Re-
publican senate for having placed
partisan envy and personal hatred"
in the way Of world peace. The pres
ldents stand against reservations
designed to cut to pieces the vital
provisions of the Versailles treaty"
was applauded, but coupled with the
declaration went a statement that tho
Democratic party did not oppose
reservations making clearer or more
specific the obligations of the United
States to its league associates"
There was also an assertion that the
president had repeatedly declared
and the convention now reaffirmed
that the American obligations as a
league member must be fulfilled in
strict conformity with the constitu-
ton Of the United States, embodied
in which is the fundamental require
ment of declaratory action by con
gress before this nation may become
participants in any war.
The Irish plank, the center of
hours of dispute, was brief and mere
ly renewed within the limitations of
international comfy and usage" pre-
vious expressions of the Democratic
party of sympathy with Irish self
government.
The Armenian plank also express
ed sympathy, but was silent on ac-
ceptance by the United States of a
