tion in official japanese circles

positively reject" reduction of
the treaty allowance of nine capi-

PAPEN ALLIANCE

Chancellor Franz Won Papen's
conception of a Franco-German
political and military alliance as
the way to an economic union
and security for Europe, as first
divulged by International News
Service yesterday, has. advanced
faster than anticipated.
Won Papen, it was learned this
afternoon, made his proposal to
the French within the past "a
hours. The idea, considered too
new to be taken seriously in
French circles a few hours ago,
is beginning to gain advocates,
who see in it the opportunity OF
removing the chief cause of EURO
pean friction in one bold stroke.

CLASH ABOUT
PLATFORM
Roosevelt Leaders Refuse
To Join in Tentative
Plan, Fear Trick
By w. X. HUTCHINSON

CHICAGO, June % (I.N.S.).
A series of clashes between
Roosevelt leaders and sup
porters Of the other candidates
for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination featured a
brief session today of the un-
official Democratic platform
committee.
The major clash came when
william Gibbs McAdoo, leader
of the John N. Garner forces,
proposed a tentative platform be
drafted by subcommittee OF
seven members.
Fear Being Outmaneuvered
The Roosevelt forces immedi-
ately protested, led by Senator
Burton K. Wheeler, Of Montana,
charging the unofficial committee
was meeting without any authority
and should take no action on
drafting a platform until the con-
vention meets.
It was apparent the Roosevelt
forces feared they might be out
maneuvered in the unofficial COM
mittee.
A recess finally was taken to
let a subcommittee of three mem
bers draw up a program of pro
cedure. The Committee. mean
while, postponed a decision on
McAdoo's motion.
In proposing that a 7-member
subcommittee write a tentative
platform, McAdoo said:
1--WE have come here four
days in advance of the cAnven-
ton In order to facilitate work
on the platform. We ought to
advance that work to a point
where we have a tentative plat
form ready for the resolutions
committee when it Is elected
by the convention"
Governor William H. Murray,
Of Oklahoma, a candidate for the
nomination. supported McAdoo.
Hitchcock Is Chosen
The Unofficial committee
meanwhile, elected as its chair
man former Senator Gilbert M
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, a Roose.
velt leader. who led Woodrow
Wilson'S fight for the League of
Nations back in 1920. E. Brooke
Lee, of Maryland, a Ritchie fol,
lower, was chosen secretary.
1t was apparent the Roosevelt
forces controlled the committee
despite their alarms.

Census Under Way
General Glassford was heart
ened by action of Representative
Baldridge (R) of Nebraska, who
yesterday urged members Of the
House to aid the police in their
plans to have home communities
provide for the veterans return.
With this step in view the
police are making a thorough
census of the camps, listing the
number Of men from various
cities. This work possibly will be
completed tomorrow at which
time those towns and cities will
be notified as to the number of
their residents with the B. E. F.
The number of men encamped
today was about the same as for
the past several days, being in
the neighborhood of 10000.
Convention Thursday
While the B. E. F.. announced
its convention will be held here
next Thursday no arrangement
so far had been made for a con-
vention hall. Delegates from every
State are expected to attend the
meeting, which will seek to iron
out differences in political policy
with particular application to
the proposed formation of a
third party.
$4,000 in Food Fund
Although there is still about
$4,000 in the food fund being ad-
ministered by General GlasSford,
both he and Commander Walter
w. Waters admitted that there
was danger of a food shortage.
Waters isued an appeal for con-
tributions.
Veterans objected to part Of
the fund in General Glassfords S
hands being used for home-going
men. The sum which has oeen
expended was obtained from an
unnamed benefactor. He also
turned over $500 for the sole use
of men who want to go home. ,

gamely.
Just like the Schmelly-
Shaking shell-out, the Demo
cratic family row of 1892 is
getting going out here on the
shores of peaceful Lake Mich.
The boys and girls of the
party that adopted Thomas
Jefferson and was adopted by
Will Rogers are dropping off
the trains and saying things
mostly nasty.
Several days ago all the Dem
mykrats of all breeds and spell
tngs said all the nasty things
they could think of about the
Republican convention. the team
Of Herb and Charlie and the
bone-dry repeal plank.
They used up all that matter
In a couple of days and now they
have started on one another
In these lass days before the
big fight starts. there are two
places for Democrats to say
things. One is upon departing
the home town
Just before taking the train
mills out, they let go an EN-.
barkation philippe, aimed at their
pet peeve in the party.
The other place is upon ar
rival in Chicago. Just as the
Democrats step off the train they
unbutton another wallop at the
gent they describe as the only
solitary figure standing in the
way Of Democratic victory in No
Vea1ber.
Chicago isn't taking the con-
vention seriously yet. Chicago
has troubles of its own. The
city made the school teachers
work without pay and the mayor
led pay army-a pay expedi-
tlonary force--to Washington to
dig UP the money. The bonus
army down there, more or less,
has the same idea.
But the Italian tenors and the
Swedish nightingales of the Chi.
cago Opera Company refused to
be led into the same trap as the
Chicago teachers and the unem-
ployed, unpaid veterans.
The opera singers refused to
sing unless they were paid. Wise
song birds. That shows their
foreign training: No dough, no
sing. So Chicago will have to
worry along this year without
opera.
But from the way the anvil
chorus amongst the Democrats
has already begun, there's a
strong prospect that the Demo
cratic Convention Follies will
make up for the loss.
Well see. Or at least we'll
hear Anyhow, Socker-they're
sparring in the center of the
ring! Oh, boy, what will the
decision be in this fight.
