The English Liberal newspapers have
had rumors that such a step was under
consideration and have expressed the
view that it would greatly inaame Irish

Ireland thus far have been regiments
from the British side of the Channel

soldiers from one Irish faction might
result in step toward civil war

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Ths
Democratic party chiefs appeared to be
in quandary to-day on several ques-
tions of convention organization.
There were some rumors Of q fight
against Senator Glass, the Administers
ton choice for chairman of the Plat
form Committee, and the problem Of
choosing permanent convention
chairman got into mess which
threatened to upset seriously the plans
Of some Administration supporters.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, who
voted in the Senate last March for
ratification of the peace treaty with
the Republican reservations, promised,
to become the storm center of the orr
eanization fight. In some quarters h.,
was urged as candidate against Sem
ator Glass for head of the Platform,
Committee, though others thought he
should have the permanent chairman
ship instead. lie had the backing of
William Jennings Bryan and was said
TO be favored also by other powerful
forces more or less out of accord with
some Administration policies.
The Administration people have sux-
gested Secretary Colby, of the State
Department., OF Chairman Cummings
Of the National Committee as perma-
nent chairman, but it was said to-day
that no decision had been reached and
that Senator Walsh might be accented
as satisfactory The general trend
tonight seemed to be to put him for
ward for the convention cnairmanshin
rather than FOR the head OF the Plat
form Committee.
Chairman Cummings and other ma.
tlonal committee officials discounted
talk of an open nti-Administration on
fight, and protested vigorously against
lobby gossip that President Wilson was
attempting to dictate either in regard
10 the candidates or the platform.
81 am aware" said Mr.. Cummings
"of no intention by the President to
communicate to the convention in anv
way, shape or form. | anticipate no
voluntary suggestion from him.
He added of course, there could be
no restraint on the Presidents friends
in any communicaton they might care
to establish with the White House
the Chief Executive had been to let
the convention work out its own
destiny
Senator Glass, who arrived last night
from Washington as the commonly re-
puted spokesman of the White House
also denied that the President would
seek to control the deliberations here
The Senator came to make fight

BERLIN, June 24.-Further revolu-
tionary troubles appear to be in store
for Germany. According to "Die
Taeglche Rundschau," independent
Socialist and Communist leaders few
days ago held d conference with Wig
dor Kopp, representative in Berlin Of
the Russian soviet government
The newspaper says that kopp point
ed out that the Bolshevik government
was in difficult position despite the
secondary military successes it had
achieved, and needed help. The Ger
man proletariat, he was quoted as say
ing, must seize the reins of power by
force, because Russia needs Germany s
help now and it would take too long
to get control of Berlin through par
liamentary procedure.
The spokesman for the Independ-
ents, according 70 the report, answered
DR. Kopp, saying that the proletariat
in Germany was not yet far enough
advanced and was still too attached to
parliamentarism to aid in movem ent
of enlightenment. He explained, how
ever, that if coup d'tat from the
Right could be fomented, then the
proetarians would arise en- masse to
fight it.
Another expression of the hopes of
tho Independents, according to the
newspaper was reflected in the speech
by DR. Bretscheid of Magdeburg, who
was elected to the Reichstag al the
recent elections. He is a prominent In
dependent writer. Rroitscheid predict
ed that within a few weeks or months
no parliamentary elections would con
troll the country

Real thefts and burglarics are
numerous enough TO vex the insurance
companies, according to II. r. Brown,
first vice president Of the American
Surety Company, but they are breeding
also a horde of fictitious thefts which
are almost as troublesome. Mr.
Brown said yesterday that he thought
extravaganza was at the bottom of
the widespread attempts, recently dis
covered, TO collect burglary insurance
on articles that never had been stolen.
