alive to Independence day OBJ
servance was issued by Govern
or w. s. Hammond:
AS Independence day ap-
proaches. the people OF the Uni
ted States realize more and more
that never before has IL meant so
much to be citizens of the nation
whose birth we soon will cele-
brate.
1t is especially desirable that
those who have been recently
naturalized be fully impressed
with the value of their new citi-
Zenship.
Those who have come from
other lands and now are citi-
zens of the United States owe
their first allegiance TO this coun-
try and those who were once resi-
dents Of the nations now ut war
should understand that they are
citizens of a neutral country anu
should aid in maintaining its neu-
trality.
1t is therefore urged that In
dependence day this year be OBJ
served as a National Americana
cation day: that in the celebra-
lions in our cities and villages
special honor be shown our re-
Gently naturaliZed citizens.
ON our national anniversary
all citizens. whether foreign born
or native. meet together as mem
bers OF a united nation.
1t is suggested that mayors o.
other chief officials of our NUM-
cipalities appoint representative
committees TO carry out the To-
cal Americanization day pro-
grams.
If committees already exist.
IL is recommended that they
make citizenship receptions n
feature of their programs.
Since the anniversary OF the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence this year falls on
Sunday. let Monday. July >. be OBJ
served as a legal holiday. the pub
lie offices be closed and all citi-
zens. as far as possible. lay aside
their customary tasks and unite
in concentrating the birth OF
the nation.

CARPENTERS AND BOSSES IN
FIRST CONFERENCE

| FIRST CONFERENCE
Striking carpenters and the con-
tractors held their first peace con-
ference today. Nothing but an in
formal talk of the situation was
planned for the first meeting.
The contractors would like to get
the carpenters to agree to an armis-
tice. They want the men to return
to work while the argument over
wages and agreements is in progress.
This would give the employers whip
hand control of the situation.
Peace seems more a possibility
than it did few days ago. 1t is not
expected that the conferences, made
possible by the action of the state
board of arbitration, win accomplish
anything Immediately, but with the
two sides agreeing to continue con-
ferences until settleemnt is reached,
it gives a brighter prospect Of ear
ier peace.
The state board of arbitration is
still hard after both sides. Both sides
today recognized the boards work
with letter Of thanks. Each side
also sent to the board lengthy state
ments, putting the situation as
viewed from each camp.
Carpenters today Indignantly de-
MED that they would consider COM
promise by which they would sign
the proposed Simon O'Donnen uni
form agreement if given their wage
increase. Speaking as individuals
prominent carpenters said they
would fight to the finish for the wage
increase and against the agreement.
The denial of a compromise came
in response to predictions made by
union men, not carpenters, that the
latter would accept the agreement if
they got their increase.

GUN ON HESPERIAN
AQUALIFYING FACT
News Of TOrpedOing Of Allan Liner
Comes as Surprise to United
States Officials.
GRAVE ANXIETY rs LACKING

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-offlcial
Washington received news Of the tor
pedoing of the Allan liner Hesperian
by German submarine with uncon-
cealed surprise, though there was
none OF the grave anxiety that fol-
lowed the sinking OF the Arabic.
While comment was withheld at
both the White House and the state
department, pending detailed reports
on the attack. Il was learned that
high officials regarded Il as iucou-
ceivable that. after the assurances
given by the German government last
week, a German submarine COM
mander had without warning
launched a torpedo at peaceful pas
senger vessel.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing heard of the incident first
early today through Associated Press
dispatches. Later cabled reports
from Ambassador Page at London
and Consul Frost at Queenstown an
nounced the torpedoing Of the Hes
perian.
Two Americans are said to have been
among the members of the crow. The
reports as made public by the state de-
partment made no mention OF whether
the vessel was warned or attempted to
escape, but IL Ia known that other adviccs
Indicated that while the British admiralty
believed there had been no warning. Il
