The blockade was the result and on June 10 King Constantine ordered the twelve senior classes of the army to be demobilized. Allies Bombard Bulgarian Coast.

Y., June 13.—Presi- d»cnt Wilson, making his first address since the presidential campaign began, today discussed preparedness, mili- tariem, Americanism, the causes of the war in Europe, peace, the Monroe Doctrine, divided allegiance and the ideals of America. He declared it is the present imperative duty of the United States to be prepared, adding “mankind is going to know that when \l‘nerlfll speaks she means what she says U. S. Should Be Calm.

Mr. Mc- Millan admitted that he did not feel | that way about it when it was an- | nounced at the Auditorium Saturday | morning that Mr. Roosevelt had de- clined the unanimous nomination of his party. The western and south- western delegates, who had howled all week for Teddy, were especially peeved when the announcement came and many felt that their chief had. deserted them at a supreme moment. | Mr. McMillan said he had a good | deal of sympathy for their-attitude at the moment but on mature reflection { he arrived at the conviction that the | | colonel had done the right thing. | In the face of the returns from the Coliseum, where Charles E. Hughes | { won out with such a splendid major- {ity, it was apparent that Roosevelt | | conld not succeed and to oppose the | republicans again could only result in | another democrats, he believed. It would ap- pear as a case of spite purely, sald Mr. M&Millan. In the opinion of the | New Britain merchant, the ex-presi- dent showed himself to be possessed of lofty and high-minded motives as his enthusiastic followers have always believed him to be endowed when he declined gressive nomination. Mr. McMillan belleves firmly that the republican and progresstves will i unite this fall on Charles E. Hughes nd a united party will spell victory | for the republicans. He declared himself ready to support Mr. Hughes and work for a republican victory. Mr. McMillan said the Connecticut | progressives went to Chicago with the idea of forcing the republicans to | nominate Roosevelt and while he | had his doubts of the outcome he was | not without hope until it became cer- | tain that the republicans would stand 1fnr Hughes only. The progressives | concede him a fair compromise for ! while the progressives did not want him neither did the ‘standpatters.” Edward H. -Prior one of the staunchest: progres: in this city, in the halcyon days of that party, today announced to a reporter for the Her- ald that he will support Charles Evans Hughes in the struggle that | confronts the jurist in his efforts to oust from the White House, Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson.

Several names were under consideration but one man's guess was as good as another, Mr. Gleason said, as to who would be selected. Another development was an an- nouncement from the candidate's headquarters that moving pictures would be employ¢d to aid his cam- paign. It is planned to throw on the screen throughout the country pictures of Mr. Hughes, “in order that the people may again become fa- miatiar with Charles E. Hughes be- fore he has for so long a time been virtually out of public life.” The screens also will display important passages rom Mr. Hughes' telegram to the national convention accepting the nomination. An “Undiluted American.” Mr. Hughes, in response to ques- tions put to him today by newspaper- men in regard to his attitude towards the support offered him by German- Americans, said it was “one of undi- juted Americanism.” “I,stated my position very clearly,” said the Republican presidential can- didate, “in my telegram to the conven- tion.
