TO SIDESTEP IT
Wilson League Plank Almost
Certain of Victory.
Calls for Ratification "Not I'm
paired by Reservations"

San Francisco. June 26.-Leading
administration Democrats predicted
today that the Wilson League of Ma
tons plank will be overwhelmingly ac-
copied by the national convention.
This plank will sidestep any men
ton of the records of Democratic SEN
ators, so as not to embarrass or Of
fend those who voted for some or all
of the Lodge reservations. 1t will con-
sist simply of an affirmative declara-
ton that the League of Nations cove
nant is the best hope of the world for
lasting peace, and that it therefore
should be ratified immediately without
reservations that would impair its es-
sential integrity"
Bryan and those who with him want
a reservation plank, were busy today
among delegates. educating them on
the subject. The delegates for the
most part seemed unable to under
stand the vital difference between the
Wilson and the Bryan viewpoint, and
a large majority of them seemed to
favor standing by the president on the
ouestiOn.

are coming from. The other COM

increase in pay for the policemen, but
are determined that the mayor stay
within his budget They claim they
have expenses enough of their own to
meet and cannot help keep up the
police department from the estimated
surplus in their budgets.
The question of a wage increase for

city practically was settled at Friday
afternoons meeting, it was learned.
Common laborers will be raised from
$3.50 to 1915. under the agreement
it is said.
The proposed increase for engineers
and firemen at the city water and
light plant will go thru, it is believed.
Commissioner w. A. Stanfield will ask
that a separate provision be enacted
granting this increase. If the commits

changes. he declared today.

to get them more money" he said.
Il had to do it to keep them, and I'm

; A strike was threatened by the en-
gineers and firemen but was fore
stalled by Stanfield. who promised to
work for an increase for them, which
amounts to about 10 per cent.

Knight Board Adds Names to
Navy Honor List.
Medals Given Commanders of
TOrpedOed Ships Get o. X.

Washington, June 26.-Except for the
addition of new names, no change has
been made by the Knight board in the
original list of recommendation for
award for war service decoration
members of the board said today.
The board was reconvened by Sec
rotary Daniels more than six months
ago to reconsider its recommendation
after the medal awards controversy
between Rear Admiral Sims and the
naval secretary which resulted in a
senate Investigation. The boards sec
ond report was submitted to Mr..
Daniels just before he left for San
Francisco to attend the Democratic
convention, and he has not yet thoroly
examined II. When he reconvened the
board. The secretary said he would
transmit the second report to the
president without amendment.
Members Of the board said that in
the new list they had followed their
original recommendations with regard

torpedoes or mines, each case having
been decided on its merits. OF the ten
officers in the group. only six, four of
whom saved their ships. were recon-

medal on the original list.
Secretary Daniels changed these
awards SC as to give each officer whose
ship was struck a distinguished service
medal. Much OF the medals contro-
versy centers around this action by the
secretary
Altho Mr.. Daniels added approx
mately thirty-names for award OF the
distinguished medal and more than
100 for the navy cross. many of these,

the board, were officers and enlisted
men who engaged in postwar mine

for honors did not come before the
board when the first list was prepared.
