French positions on a front of ap- proximately two miles, extending from the southern ridge of Le Mort Homme to Cumieres village, northwest of Yer dun, have been captured by the Ger mans, according to the latest official communication from Berlin. In addi- tion the Teutons again have pressed forward in the Thiaumont Wood, northeast of Verdun, and added to their line in the eastern part of it.
 These gains, made during the vic ious fighting of Monday, have been in part admitted by Paris, which has re- ported the loss of three hundred me- tres of advanced trenches northwest of Cumieres and the retirement from similar positions to the south of the road between Bethincourt and Gu mieres, Berlin says the Germans cap- tured 1,313 prisoners, including several staff officers.
 Around Le Mort Homme and Cumi- eres, violent bombardment still is in progress, but there has been a dimi- mutton in the intensity of the fire of the big guns northeast of Verdun. Since the fighting of Monday there apparently have been no infantry att tacks anywhere on either side of the Mouse.

HOUSE VOTES CONSTRUCTION
 OF FIFTY SUBMARINES
Decisive Votes Against Battle and
 Scout Cruisers.

Washington, May Undetermined republican efforts to enlarge the build ing programme of the naval appropri- ation bill as reported from the naval committee resulted today in the adop- tlon by the house, sitting as commit tee of the whole, of an amendment in- creasing the number of submarines from 20 to 50. Proposals to provide for six battle cruisers instead of five and to add two dreadnoughts and two scout cruisers to the programme were de- feated after a lively fight
 In order to finish consideration of the bill by the time fixed, o'clock Fri day afternoon, the house had a three hour session today instead of recessing over Memorial day, as usual.
 So decisive were the votes against additional battle and scout cruisers that the bigger navy advocates virtual ly have decided to abandon the fight for them, but they still hope to get the two battleships. Another attempt will be made when the house returns tC regular form on Friday.
 The battleship proposal was lost by the narrow margin of 16 votes, 13C opposing and IA favoring. Fourteen democrats voted for the amendment and eight republicans opposed it.
 The vote on increasing the sub- marines was IA to 1O4, IT denoerats voting for it and no republicans op- posing.

sina region of Italy and along the up per reaches of the Astico river, on the Austro- Italian border. South of Po- sina, Austrians prepared for their of fensive with a bombardment, but ac- cording to Rome the Italians after a desperate struggle against the Aus trian infantry retained their positions.
 On the Russian front the Germans essayed an offensive northeast of Au- gHstinhof, but were driven back to their trenches by the Russians. The Austrians met with momentary sue cess near GliadiId, driving the Rus sians from the position and capturing it. The Russians, however, in a coun- ter attack recaptured the post. Near Boutchache the Austrians attempted an offensive but it was put down by the Russian fire.
 On their front in Asiatic Turkey the Russians report the situation un- changed. ConstantinopIe says that near Felahie, in the Kut-et-Amara re- zion, the Turks silenced two British guns and made prisoners in surprise attack.
 The Germans are with the Bulgar- iarls in the advance into Greek Mace donia. The invasion, according to Berlin, was made as a protection against a surprise attack which the entente allies were planning.

ROOSEVELT SOUNDS AN
 APPEAL FOR PREPAREDNESS
In Several Speeches Made in Kansas
 City Yesterday.

Kansas City, Mo, May S0.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt came to Kansas City today and in several speeches sounded an appeal for preparedness, declaring vigorously for universal training based on universal service. In his principal address at Convention hall he departed from his set speech to say a facetious word about Mexico.
 There were several untoward incl dents during Mir. RooseveIt's visit. A pocket knife was thrown at Colonel Roosevelt's motor car during the Me moT1al day parade, and it struck the arm of John w. McGrath, the former presidents secretary, and fell to the running board of the car. McGrath said tonight there was no force behind the knife and he believed some one had tossed it towards the car as a joke. Colonel Roosevelt was told of the incident tonight and afterward his secretary issued this statement:
 Colonel Roosevelt regards the mat ter as an entirely trivial incident and feels that no weight should be at- tached to it."

CROWDS GREETED FORMER
 PRESIDENT TAFT AT PlTTsRURo
Made Memorial Day Address at Wash
 lnston and Jefferson College.

Pittsburg, May 30.-In spite of a steady downpour of rain crowds gath cred at number of points in Ale gheny county today to greet former President Taft as he passed in a special train on his awy to Washing ton, Pa, where he made the Memor- ial Day address at Washington and Jefferson College.
 'The danger in Europe has led to a campaign for reasonable preparedness here" said Mir. Taft, addressing the crowd at the station in Bridgeville, land because we are not responding the way some people think we ought to respond, they ,are saying we are not equal to the patriotism of the past We are being contrasted with other nations and the sacrifices they are making are being held up to us as an example to follow
 T am an optimist. I believe, when the emergency comes, the people will go to the front and sacrifice every thing for love of country. No nation can demonstrate the sacrifices it is able to make better than ours We can show a patriotism more intense than that across the water.'

CoI. J. s. Mosby
 Dead al Age of 82
WAS MOST FAMOUS OF coNFED-
 ERATE RAIDERS.
LED BAND NIGHT RIDERS
During the Civil War He Headed . Guerrilla Band That Operated in the Shenandoah Valley = Captured General stoushton.

Washington. May 3o.-CoL John s. Mosby, the famous confederate raid- CT of the Civil war died here today after long illness. He was a na- tive of Virginia and was S2 years oIds Rode Up and Down Shenandoah VaI-
 ley.
 Col. Mosby dared death over fifty years ago when at the head of a band of a few hundred Confederate raiders he rode up and down the Shenandoah Valley, capturing outposts, destroying supply trains, and cutting off means of communj jcation. It has been esti- mated that he often neutraIized the force of over 15,000 Fiederals in the valley.
 Led Rain on MccIeIIan's Army.
 Born in Powhattan county, Va, De- cember 6. 1883 and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1852, he was practicing law in Bristol, Va, when the war broke out and he began his career in the Confederate army. He proved his daring with such effect that he became a scout for Gen. J. E. s. Stuart and led the celebrated raid around McCleIlan's army on the Chickahominy. In Richmond a year later he recruited an independent cav airy troop which became famous as Mosby's Partisan Rangers. They be- came night riders and the terror of the Federal troops.
 Capture of General Stoughton.
 Mosby's most brilliant exploit was the capture of Gen. Stoughton. On a March night in 1863 he, with 30 fol- lowers, rode through the Federal army to Fairfax Court House, only Is miles from Washington, where Gen. surrouSded by an army said to have been 17.000 strong, the rangers calmly kidnapped the general, his staff and many sentries, and turned them over to the Confederate authorities at Gull peper without having lost a man.
 Grant Saved Him From Hanging. General Grant once later saved Mosby from hanging, and two foes of the battlefield became staunch friends Mosby stumped the state of Virginia for Grant during his presidential cam paign, and was rewarded with an ap- | pointment as con.s5Il at Hong Kong, a post which he held for seven years ! When he returned to the United 1 States, Mosby called on the surviving I astonishment, he found that large percentage of them had become min- isters. In parting their old colone said: Well, boys, if you fight the l devil like you fought the Yankees there will be something to record or Judgment Day"

INCREASED RISKS OF
 MARINE UNDERWRITERS
Ordinary Sea Risks are Great and
 Ship Crews Not so Good


 London, May 30.-Several of the bigger groups of underwriters have dropped out of business at LIoyds re- gently, Ioath to stand the speculation, uncertainty, and racket" of the mod ern day underwritings of ships and cargoes.
 You would think, I suppose" said one of the old timers, that it is the war risks that are bothering us. But ordinary sea risks are quite as great a factor. Ship crews are not so good. IIle best sailors are with the navy. Then navigation is more complex. Lights and buoys are fewer. Ships, trades for which they are not built on routes for which they are not fitted.
 We have stopped ringing the Iu- tine Bell (the old ships bell at Lloyd's formerly rung to announce casualties and overdue ships arrivals) when a casualty is reported, and only ring it now for the arrival of overdue ships. suppose the ringing of casualties be- comes monotonous.
 How do the underwriters take it :? You never see the flick of an eyelid my boy. Most of these underwriters have about as much range Of facial expression to signal loss as an old sailing ships fgurehead. They never budge. If their feet get cold inside their boots no one knows it'
 'sP1ums? Oh, yes We have pIums sometimes as well as losses. Last week there was little schooner from Brazil, I think, very much overdue Thinking of recent weather and things I took risk on her for IS per cen premium, standing to lose five pei cent if she never turned up. And tn, little creature. bless her. turned III safe and good"

 Memorial Address
DELIVERED AT ARLINGTON MA.
 HoNAL CEMETERY.
VETS. APPLAUDED HIM
Defined the Spirit of America and Warned Citizens of Foreign Birth
 That They Must Not Set Themselves Against the Purposes of the Nation,

Washington, May 30. = President Wilson delivered Memorial Day ad- dress here today in which he defined the spirit of America, warned citizens Of foreign birth not to set themselves against the purposes of the nation; called upon young men to perform voluntary military service and defend- ed his recent suggestion for an alli- ance Of nations to preserve peace. He spoke at Arlington National Cemetery before an audience made up largely or Civil War veterans. who applauded him vigorously.
 America Must Come First.
 While he declared he had no harsh, ness in his heart for Americans of foreign birth and expected them stil to love the sources of their origin the president said: America must come first in every purpose we enter tain an devery man must count upon being cast out of our confidence, cast out even of our tolerance, who does not submit to that great ruling prin- cip1e."
 Speaking of America, made up out of all the people of the world, as the champions. of the rights of mankind, he said:
 Ready to cooperate-Ready to Fight
 we are not only ready to cooperate, but we are ready to fight against any aggression, whether from within or without. But we must guard our selves against any sort of aggression which would be unworthy of America We are ready to fight for our rights when those rights are coincident with the rights of man and humanity
 No EntangIing Alliances.
 T shall never myself consent to an entangling alliance, but would glad ly consent to distangling alliance, an alliance which would disentangle the people of the world from those combinations in which they seek their own separate and private interests and unite the people of the world to pre- serve the peace of the world upon a basis of common rights and justice"
 For Voluntary Training.
 The president said he was for 'uni- versal training" but that America l does not wish anything but the com pulsion of the spirit of America He added that the people Of the nation were watching each other and that a great many men. even when they did not want to were going to stand up and say, Here"

FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN
 SWEDEN AND AMERICA
Emphasized at Recent Visit of swed-
 ish Editors to United States.

Stockholm, Sweden, May S0.-The recent visit to Sweden of a party of editors and publishers of Swedish newspapers in the United States was made the occasion of many expres- sions of renewed good will and friend- ship between Sweden and America. These expressions came from officials and business men and the dominant note was the belief that as a result of the war the relations between the two countries had grown steadily more in- innate. When the war is ended it is felt here that the trade between the United States and Sweden will be largely augmented.
 Plans to further this trade already have taken concrete form in the es- tablishment of a direct steamship line between Goteberg and New York, all though the promoters of the line have become somewhat discouraged over the long delays caused by English de- tention at Kirkwall, ships being stop ped and searched both going to and returning from America. There has not been the best of feeling between England and Sweden during the war and many regular trade channels have been interrupted This is another req son why it is believed here that the time is ripe for promoting closer trade relations with America.
 Among those who entertained here for the visitors from America were Prince Eugene, of the royal family; the minister of marine and the Amer ican minister, MT Morris Tn a brief address MT. Morris told the journal ists they could not impress too strong ly upon the people lat home" the friendly spirit of the Swedish people toward America and all things Amer ican. This, he said, was reflected in his own treatment at the hands of all the Swedish officials, including the court itself, King Gustav taking a per- sonal interest in anything affecting American interests.

It was estimated that there were 15,000 in line.
 About the parade there was an ele- ment of the grim reality of war which has been lacking in other years.
 Many of those in the reviewing stand characterized it as another prepared ness' procession. Wicked looking bayonets were attached to the rifles of the men in the infantry regiments and the officers carried no sabers, but wore service revolvers strapped to their belts.
 Memorial exercises at Grants Tomb followed the parade. The battleship Michigan at anchor in the Hudson fired salute before the services De- gan. Senator Lawrence T. Sherman of Illinois was the orator of the day.
 Survivors of the battleship Maine, which was blown up in Havana har- bor. held Memorial exercises at the Maine monument in Columbus cir cles. Among the speakers were Rear Admiral Sigsbee. U. S. N., retired, who was commander of the battleship when it was destroyed, and the ships chaplain, Rev. John Chidwick.
 Twehty-five American flags and an equal number of those of Rumanfa, owned by Rumanian organizations, were consecrated today at St. Pat ricl1's Cathedral as a part of the first Rumanian Memorial day observance ever held in the United States.
