GILMSKT Stnn Correnpondent of--1he Evtnlne Public IdKrr Washington. April 22. The Bryan victory In Ncbrnskn disposes ot the hopes of the light wines and beers nd voentos In tho Democratic convention nt Snn Francisco. It means undoubt edly n hard fight on the floor to got I ho convention to indorse the Volstcnd one-hnlf per cent net. .More significant than Bryan's per sonal success Is the probnble detent of Arthur Mullen for nntlonnl commit teomnn by Bryan's candidate. W. II. Thompson, of Grand Island. Bryan seems to bo stronger in the country vote nnd ns it comes In It Is likely to put Thompson ahead of Mullen. Mullen has been the leader of the wets in Ncbrnskn and Brvan'R most re lentless foe. Except for Mullen, Sen- Inter Ilitehock would nrobnbly havecom- promised with Bryan and given him a seat upon the floor of the convention. But Mullen, from the outset, was for yenrs ngo. Mullen a Wet Advocate It is probnble. too, thnt Mullen influ enced Hitchcock to tnkc onenl.v the lieht wines and beers side of the fight in 1 Nebraska. Mullen has been the leader of tho moderate wet forces in the Demo cratic national committee. At the At lantic City meeting of the Democratic nntional executive committee last fall Mullen urged a wet platform upon his party. So far as Nebraska is concerned. Mullen, more than nitchcock, repre sented the wet issue, and Brvan chose not to mnkc any fight upon Hitchcock, who is popular, but reached out after tho Nebraska Democratic machinery through the defeat lot Mullen nnd for n scat on the convention floor. Mullen is an old Bryan leader, having been introduced into politics by Bryan nnd having risen to be Bryan's right hand man in the state. He broke with 'Bryan at once upon Bryan's declaring ror-prohlbltlon. A bitter tight developed between Bry.an and Mullen four years ago when Bryan devoted all his energies to defeating Afullen for national com mitteeman. Bryan appears to havo been aided in his fight on Mullen by a fight between two Democratic candidates for governor. Ho was forced to espouse tho cause of one of these candidates against the other, so that friends of the anti-Mullen candidate, who won, voted agninst Mul len for national committee. State Instructed for Hitchcock Bryan's personnl success is not re mnrknble. The latest figures available here In Washington, received by Sena tor Hitchcock, indicate that two of the Bryan delegates nre running ahead-of Bryan himself. If complete returns maintain this situation, two Hitchcock ilclegates-nt-largo will be elected and two Bryan delegates will be elected, but Bryan himself will not be one of tho two. Tn thnt case Brynn will not get a seat on the floor of the convention. But the result is close and the figures which exclude Bryan come from anti-Bryan sources. The state will be instructed for Hitchcock, all the Bryan delegates being pledged to Hitchcock, nnd Brjnn him self having promised if elected to let his alternate sit in the convention and vote for Hitchcock. , The light wines and beers people will probably mnke no effort to get u liberal plank in the convention. The Dcmo carie machine will probably organize the convention nnd its committees so to avoid any positive declaration cither way on the liquor issue. If Bryan gains n seat he will probably make a light after the resolutions committee re ports the platform to put a bono dry plank in. Unless he succeeds, the wet issue is likely to bo n local issue.

REN ATI FREE FROM HATE Paris De3iro3 Germany Be Re stored Economically, Millerand Says at San Remo WANTS U. S. AID IN EUROPE By the Associated Press San Remo. Italy. April 22. Alexan dre Millerand, the French premier, to dny recived the American newspaper correspond! nt. of whom eleven are here, and tnlked freely about Peace Conference affairs. "Our friend'hip with the American people," he said, "did not begin with 10M, but very long beforo thnt, nnd before von brought us tho decisive help in the war. which now is such n pre cious recollection. "I lcgret wo could not hnve the di rect active co-operation of the United States Government in the preparation of the Turkish treaty hero, but I nm sure America v ill not stand npart nlways from l.uiopcuii iinuirs.

She has not doiie them, "France asks her rights and' no more, France does not hate Germany, U'e wish to -re her lecover economically. A creditor docs not w ish to ee Ids debtor ruined." .Disi-ucsion of what 'hnll he asked of Gcrmuuy and how what is asked shall be exacted has created considerable ten sion between French and British delega tions. The French nre declared to feel deeply that they have been the greatest suf ferers from Germany's omission in ful filling her trcnty obligations, that Ger many's retention of war material obliges France to remain armed nnd thut re duction in cool deliveries keeps nn im portant fraction of the Frcuch industries Idle. They say that Germany during tho last nine months hud indicated clearly to the Flench mind that she Intends to do nothing sho cannot be compelled to do, and thut unless the Allies sharply warn her and prepare to follow up the warning by forcible measures, Germany will default upon the essential clauses of the treaty, counting upon escaping any further penalties or upon a revis ion of the treaty greatly disadvan tageous to the French.
