Willingness to Stand on League

tion, Directed by Wilson, is
Given as Cause.
(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 1. Cox will he
allowed to take over the party leader
ship without resistance by the Wilson
administration, arcordinfr to all Indi
cations. High democratic offlcluls
from Wilson down made It plain that
their part In the coming campaign de
pendn entirely on the wishes of Cox
and his campaign managers.
Significant in the circumstances is
the fact that no word of criticism of
Cox or any of hla acts haa been made
by democratic officials here. The ex
plained attitude of the administration
Is that Wilson followers wrote the
platform and cot their league of na
tions plank through the convention
Cox Indicated his willingness to stand
on that plank, on the broad endorse
ment of the administration.
A growing belief Is that Wilson's
Part in the campaign will be throuRh
written word raiher than speeches, and
that Cox himself will assume the bur
den of carrying a democratic course
to the people.

on behalf of the allies today offered
tlie (icrmana to October flrnt the tirao
for the reduction of the German array
:o 150.000 men and until January ffrt
to 100,000 men as provided by the
treaty of Versailles; also to allow the

(United Press Staff Correspondent. )
SPA. July 8. German and allied
military officials, who discumed G
man disarmament, reported to tha
conference today that they are unable
to reach a basis of agreement. LJoyd
George curtly told them to resume the
discussions. It is rumored that Ger
man Minister of Defense Geesler of
fered his resignation to Chancellor
F"ehrenbach but ' reconsidered when .
assured that the Germans will be al
lowed six months to demobilize their
military forces. . .
Germany must comply with the dis
armament provisions of the peace
treaty within three months. It was de
cided by the allies. - The -German re
quest for 15 months' time In which to
disarm was met by & flat refusal.
The disturbed German Internal sit
uation was given as the reason for the
delay sought. Herr Simmons declared "
the German government is faced with
three difficulties Distrust of the al
lies, danger of bolshevism In Germany,
and imT-rossibUHyof meeting the fin

said Germany will make every effort
to meet her obligations under the
treaty and as-ked the allies to continue
occupation of the neutral sone. ,
He admitted arms are being smug- -gled
into Germany, saying that all at
tempts of disarm volunteers thus far
have failed. He said the government
had not resorted to force to obtain4 .
these arms as it feared the results off
such action. Simons said Germany Is
still facing the possibility bf dangerous
revolution from two sides, radicals and
monarchists. - . -
Marshal Foch said significantly that
if the German delegation here is un
willing to face the music, the allies
still have a strong force under
which would enforce the treaty.
