MustAPha Kemal Pasha, personally is

There are many Indications that the,

a stand there after getting the Greeks i
scattered over long lines of convmunl-pnllnii.
H The nationalists are showing a less
H friendly attitude toward American rc-
H lief workers than formerly. Through
the port of Mudania. lying on the &ea
H of Marmora southwest of Ismid, the
H American commission for relief in th
H near east had been able to keep uv
H communication with many lnteriar re-
H lief stations through cooperation of
the nationalists. Since the British
H force landed there and has been on-
gaged in skirmishes it is clear that
H American ships art) less welcome, and
H there is clangor that the nationalists
.f as 111 close all the Marmora and Black
HP sea ports to American ships.
H All American women relief workers
f have 6fc, Batum ,for Constantinoplo.
I WASHINGTON, 'juric 29. The,
H American government was' requested

H of America; In a memorandum prc-
H sentcd today to the state department,
H to urge the allied powers, "particularly
Bf( France," to send an expeditionary
H force to the relief of the Armenians
K in the city of Iladjii.i, besieged for
four months by Turkish nationalists.
HI If, a force 'were despatched at once.
B the communication stated the seise
HI could bo raised in less than a week.
H The memorandum suggested that
H American marines cooperate "with a
HI view of saving the Christian popula

Plank Will Support Prohibition
But Will Oppose "Vexa

i
FULL COMMITTEE TO
PASS UPON PROPOSITION:
Belief Expressed That "'Slight
ly Moist" Resolution Might i
Have Chance
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30. Ac
cording to administration chiefs the
rub-committee of nine drafting the1
Democratic platform has practically)
t
agreed on a prohibition plank which
1 Is described as "slightly moist" and
as being in "support of the constitu
tional amendment." but with declara
tions for personal liberty and against
"exatious Interferences." ' j
A league of nations plank the same'
administration chiefs said, has beeni
agreed upon "just as Woodrow Wilson
wants II, without the dotting of an
'f or the crossing of a 't" As fore
cast it follows almost identically the,
lines of the Virginia platform .pre
viously approved by President Wilson.
A careful count of the full commit
tee and a survey of the convention,
these administration chiefs said, made
them confident that William J. Bryan
could nol( get his prohibition plank
into thc'platforui.. The. agreement. was,
in "Btich 'form, they said, that it was
'not improbable that their work would
be laid before the full committee on
resolutions late this afternoon.
Not Ready to Report.
When the full platform committee
reassembled by pre-arrangement at 11
o'clock today Senator Glass reported
that the sub-committee was not ready i
tq report and a recess was taken until
7 30 o'clock tonight. The sub-committee
then again went into session with
its members divided in their opinions
as to whether it would be possible to
report at the hour fixed.
At the suggestion of former Gover
nor McCorkle of West Virginia, mem
bers ot the full committee were in
vited to file platform suggestions with!
Hie sub-committee, There was no echo
in today's meeting, however, of tho ob
jections made by Senator Walsh to the
sub-committee's plan of going ahead
without consulting at length with (he
other committee members.
League of Nations.
The first sugge sted plank handed in i
to the sub-conlmittee wfts one by Sena
tor Pomerene of Ohio, regarding the
league of nations. It provided for rati-1
ficatlon without "impairing reserva-
tions" but added that differences of I
opinion on that subject should be so j
"harmonized that the treaty may be
ratified without unnecessary delay " j
In handling the prohibition ciucs-
I tion. administration leaders were re
ported to be maneuvering to bring be
lore the convention a plank which
could be championed as an "adminis
tration measure." To this end it was
planned to include a clause endorsing
President Wilson's veto of the Vol
s'tead' act.
If this could be accomplished It was
believed the administration strength
on the convention floor would be more
than sufficient to push it through.
That a floor fight on prohibition
'could be avoided was believed by ad
j ministration leaders as well as predcti
i ed by the drys, to be impossible. On
I a straight wet or dry vote it was gen
erally conceded that the majority of
'the delegates would vote dry, but the
) proposed "slightly moist'r plank,
backed with a declaration upholding
President Wilson, was believed to have
bettor lhan a good chance.
Little trouble over the administra
tion treaty plank was expected In the
sub-committee. Its handling was said
to be left entirely to Secretary Colby
for advocacy in the full committee
! tonight and also in tho convention.
Urynn To Fight
SAN PKANCISCO, Juno 30 W. J.
Bryan, in a fighting mood, speaking
at a breakfast gathering today, ex
pressed his dissatisfaction with the
"wet" and "dry" situation before the
resolutions committee, said that he ex
pected to fight In i-hc convention and
"hoped to gain distinction as a re
viser of platforms."
"I have no hope of glory as a writer
of tho Democratic platform," ho said,
