New York Meeting Tonight
As a Protest.

NEW YORK. June 24.-Efforts will
be made at tonights mass meeting in
Madison Square Garden. called by
German sympathizers. to launch a
peoples gold boycott" I'm the hope
OF breaking up the financial relations
existing between the United States

German Am mericans, Irish h-Americans,
and all other classes supposedly op-
posed to Great Britain to get hold of
all the gold they possibly can and

persons not in sympathy with Eng

mand gold payments hereafter when
ever they draw their salaries or make
Withdrawals from banks. They will
! be urged to withdraw their savings
in gold from the banks and place II
in safe deposit.
The idea originated with the Amer
lean Truth Society. which also first
suggested the calling of a mass meet
ing. jeremiah A. OLeary, president
of the society. a LAWYER said that he
was confident all the German Ameri
cans in this country. numbering about
/ 25.000,000, and most ofs the Irish
Americans would support such a
boycott"
The resolutions to be adopted tonight
were prepared by O'Leary. as chairman
of the resolutions committee. They have
not been made public, but they are ex-
pected to enable the following pro-
tests:
!. A protest against agitation for war
with Germany.
?. A protest against the export of
arms and munitions. coupled with a de-
mand upon President Wilson for an
embargo.

Not Before President Has
Returned From Cornish

II Is admitted by officials that the
next German note will not reach here

lay In the dispatch Of the note will be
appreciated by the Administration.
All the information available SO far
as the United States is concerned points
to an amicable response to the Ameri-
can note. 1t is likely that this response
may seek to debate some of the ques-
lions raised by the United States. But
on the general suggestions It is admit

many hopes her answer will be accept
able to the United States.
Germany it is positively known. will,
agree that American citizens can 60 as

there are issues concealed that should
be threshed out by all of the officials in

The President has asked Secretary
Lansing to keep him informed of all

to Great Britain shall be sent forward
as soon as all questions in dispute can
be framed. But it Is understood that
the contemplated issuance OF a new doc

CHAPTER TX.
The Raptlsm Of Elrs.

The Baptism Of Fire.
All the landscape in front of Fra
casse's company seemed to have been
deserted; no moving figures were any
where in sight; no sign Of the enemy's
infantry.
Family the town clock was heard
striking the hour. From eight to nine
and nine to ten Fracasse's men wait
ed; waited uni h the machine was
ready and Westerling should throw in
the clutch; waited until the troops
were In place for the first move before
he hurled his battalions forward.
They did not know how the captain at
their back received his orders; they
only heard the note of the whistle,
with command familiar to a trained
instinct on the edge Of anticipation. 1t
released a spring in their nerve-Oen-
ters. They responded as the wheels
respond when the throttle Is opened.
Jumping to their feet they broke into
run, bodies bent, heads down, like
the peppered silhouette that faced
Westerlings desk. What they had
done repeatedly in drills and maneu-
vers they were now doing in war, me
chanically as marionettes.
Come on! The bullet Is not made
that can get me! Come onl" cried the
giant Eugene ArOnson.
Nearly all felt the exhilaration Of
movement in company. Then came
the sound that generations had drilled
for without hearing; the sound that
summons the imagination Of man In
the thought OF how he will feel and
act when he hears It; the sound that
Is everywhere like the song Bnatches
of bees driven whizEing through the
air.
That's it! We're under Arel We're
under fire!" flashed crooked light
ming recognition of the sound through
every brain.
There was no sign Of the enemy;
no telling where The bullets came
from.
Whish-whishl Th-ipp-whing! The
refrain gripped Peterkin's imagination
with an unseen hand. He seemed to
be suffocating. He wanted to throw
himself down and hold his hands in
front OF his head. While Pilzer and
Aronson we're not thinking, only run
ming. Peterkin was thinking with the
rapidity of q man falling from high
building. He was certain only that
he was bound to strike ground.
"An inch is as good as a mile!" He
recollected the captains teaching.
"Only one of thousand bullets fred
In war ever kills man"-but he was
certain that he had heard a million
already. He looked around to find
that he was still keeping up with Eu-
gene and felt the thrill of the bravery
