prayer that was received with cheers.
"We are not concerned about

Jesus, but from Wall ■treet." It
charged that the democratic party
"has sold out to those forces which
face moral rain and spiritual deso-
lation." In Illinois, he said, "the gov-
ernor and his parasites are cursed by
plutocratic selfishness."
He added:
"We are corrupt, mean, low visioned
and selfish. Forgive us, O God, and

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Spa, Belgium, July 13.—with
deadlock reached today between the
Germans and the allies at a confer-
ence here on the question of coal, it
became known tonight that the su-
preme allied council will meet tomor-
row, immediately after the arrival
here of the allied military chiefs,
Marshal Fech and Field Marshal Wil-
son.
Meantime the German delegation
will remain here. Marshal Foch will
leave Paris tonight, arriving in the
morning. Marshal Wilson is expect-
ed from BIngland during the day. They
will discuss possible enforcement
measures.
Position of Germans.
Dr. Simons, the German foreign
secretary, said to tha Associated
Press:
"The allies may, under the treaty,
give us an order concerning coal. If
they give us an order, we of course
would try to satisfy it. But we do
not believe we could. That would not
be a voluntary co-operative arrange-
ment."
Dr. Simons said later:
"The allies can occupy the Ruhr
or other territories. They can send
their own agents Into Germany and
probe the situation. They may fix
any penalties; we are not In a position
to resist"
The secretary expressed ths attl-
t«4« at th« U«ruuin <lsl.piH.iw M it
is tonight, but all the allied ministers
hope before thejL4ake- further-meas-
ures that the Germans *n«iy change
their decision.
Cannot Be Definite.
The German delegates when asked '
to amplify their prftposal, sent a let-
ter to Premier Delacroix saying that
it would be Impossible for them to be
definite In their proposals until the
coal question was settled. It appears
it is not so much a question of min-
ing coal in a quantity sufficient to
give 300,000 tons monthly more than
Oermany offers, but rather the diffi-
culties of the German government In
financing the delivery out of their
budget.
Dr. Simons said lata tonight that
the Germans had nothing to add to
their coal proposition. He regretted
exceedingly the position taken by the
allies and said the Germans must
simply await further action.
M. Millerand, the French premier,
regrets that lt is not possible for Ger-
many to co-operate with the allies in
the execution of the treaty, but he is
firmly resolved to stand on the posi-
tion now taken.
Following a decision by the allies
that the German reply, submitted this
afternoon, was not acceptable, the al-
lied military chieftains were sum-
moned. Calling them in, it Is under-
stood, means immediate measures to
enforce the treaty unless Oermany
modifies its attitude.

Earlier they had found such ft

Chicago, 111., July 13.—Leaders of

which It came, Into a unified political
powe r.
Early moments of the new party's
life Were fraught with menacing sit-
uations. The Joint chairman of ths
labor party and the committee of forty
eight group battled for hours to keep
the Jealousies and distrusts of ths
rival groups submerged.
Several times In the long drawn out
afternoon session a break appeared
not far away. Peace makers were
called to the platform several times
and by their appeal staved off. at least
temporarily, the movement toward a
break.
While the convention dickered over
the recognition extended its various
elements under the amalgamation, ths
platform committee completed a draft
of nine planks. According to mem-
bers of the platform committee ths
pet platform desires of several groups
have been Ignored in ths draft.
Dudley Field Malone was called to
ths chair to fill the gap while the con-
ferences proceeded. He flayed both
major parties and touched upon tha
prohibition question. He was tho
first speaker to mention liquor and
was given an ovation when he de-
clared for strict enforcement of ths
Volstead law, "good or bad,"
"I hope the American people In this
coming election will not see their des-
tiny through a glass of light wine or
beer."' Malone added.
Malone paid his respects to the re-
publican party with the comment that
a "porch campaign represents ths
speed of Its platform and candidate."
James Duncan, Seattle laborite,
held the gavel, but Parley P. Christ-
enxen, the forty-elghter chairman,
was given a rising demonstration as
he came on the platform and the band
played "Hail, Hail, ths Gang's A'l

When the "Marseilles" was played
the delegates yelled while it was
played out.
"Three cheers for Debs anil the

gallery. The delegates gave them.
More than an hour after the ses-
