AMERICANISM.-After reading a
number of letters in The Public
Forum explaining "Americanism" I
am still somewhat in doubt as to it's
real meaning.
AS 1 look. down the long list of
martyrs who have been hung, shot
and murdered in the fight for liberty
and the cause of labor; as think of
the nation which is growing rich off
the sweat and blood Of war-stricken
Europe, of a nation whose eternal
boast is ''too proud to fight" of. a.
nation where free speech, free press
and the very constitution itself is
living lie; as think of Parson, Lingg,
Spies, EngeI and Fisher; of Mooney,
Nolen, Weinberg and Billings; of Hill
strom, Tresca, Scarlet and hundreds
Of others, to say nothing of the per-
secution of such noble women as
Mrs. Sanger and Emma Goldman; of
the dirty trickery resoTted to by the
contending parties in the presidential
election; of the sham, hUmbug and
pretense you see in every shape and
form on every side, I think of the
somewhat humorous saying of Nal

PLAINFIELD STRONG MEN
 TO HcLD CONTEST
Frank consdon to Meet the Great
 BarteIlo.

At last a contest between two strong men is to be presented before the Plainfield public who have talked and waited for the same for tine past few weeks. The contestants are The Great Bartello and Frank Congdon, an electrician in the Lawton Mills Com pany. Elmer Eitgood, who claims to be the strongest man on earth would not come to terms with Bartallo. Bit goods proposition seems to be wholly unreasonable to present to anyone ard hsi former popularity has dwintlled. considerable. It was quoted that some one ought to go down to. Bit goods and take down the sign which he has posted there claiming the title as strongest man on earth because of his failure to meet Bartello.
 Frank Congdon who is matched to meet Bartello is man of six feet or more in height and is of athletic build. Plainfield people claim that Frank is exceptionally strong and that he has demonstrated his strength by a num- Der of remarkable feats. He is siad to have picked up two beer kegs filed and held them at arms length. Those who have seen Bartello in action claim his lifts are very extraordinary for a man of his weight. Bartello weights only 160 pounds but is re- markedly developed. A number of men say he is the finest developed men they have ever seen.
 The winner of the contest is to be decided by judges. The contestants are to lift one and two handed lifts. The one with the. highest total amount to be declared the winner.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES HAVE
 THEIR MANAGER MAD
Jimmy Callahan Threatens Teau All Sorts of Things if They Don't Pull Themselves Together.

There is nothing of a surprising nature in the information that Jimmy Callahan went on the warpath and threatened the Pirates with all sorts of things if they did not pull them selves together immediately and de- liver some scmblance of real baseball in return for the salary checks which they ar accepting twice a month, just as if they were earning them, writes James J: Long in the Pittsburgh Sun. The only wonder is that Cal did not fly off the handle long ago. The Pirates have pulled some stuff almost sraw enough to put a manager in padded cell, and it is clear that if the Pirates are to be headed in the right direction and mad etc play better ball than they have been putting up it will have to be accomplished through some Simon Legree methods instead of the tolerant and encouraging attitude that the man. agement has maintained during the slump. Even then it probably will be found necessary in the end to obtain some new players. but the present Buccaneers arc capable of doing better work than they have been doing, and it's time to crack the whip.

MORAN TO TRAIN

Heavyweight Contender Goes to Sara
 toga to Prepare for Dillon.

'He may be a terror, wildcat and what not, but am going to curtail Jack Dillon's ferociousness before get through with him. declared Frank Moran before he left for his Saratoga training quarters.
 They collide over the ten round trail at Washington Park on the evening of June 29. Moran has re-established training quarters at White Sulphur Springs, just outside of Saratoga, and old Willie Lewis is back on the job as his chief helper.
 T believe that will give Dillon the lactng of his life" continued Frank. T am not afraid of him, and, what is more, I think I will outbox him the whole ten rounds, If don't knock him out.
 T fought careful fight with Will lard, and, though he was heavier and taller than 1, firmly believe I was the first man to give him a good fight"
 In the meantime Dillon is hard at work at Gus Christie's gym at Indian apolis.
 Moran prepared for his bouts with Coffey and Willard at White Sulphur and spent most of his time hiking about the snow-elad hills and racing an iceboat With the change in sea- sons the big Pittsburgher has shifted to canoes and long distance swim ming. Having served his time before the mast, Moran is very strong for al water sports.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET BRo4DENED
str,nsth of Rails Offset Uncertain
 Tendencies Elsewhere in the List.


 New. York, June S.-Considerations arising from the political situation governed todays market to an un- usual. extent, even though trading was characterized by greater breadth and underlying strength. Rails were again the outstanding features, in- fusing a degree of confidence which served to offset occasional uncertainty tendencies elsewhere in the list.
 Shares of the coal roads featured the active opening, with revival of last months movement in Reading which made an extreme advance of 1 3-S to 106 1-2, all of which and more was lost before the close. Great CT stability was shown by other is. sues of that particular division, nota- biy Chesapeake and Ohio, which ri- vailed Reading in point of prominence and registered an advance of 1-S, to 67 3-4, all of which was retained.
 New York Central, Illinois Central, St Paul and some of the southern di- vision held or added to recent gains, with moderate recessions in the final hour. The statement of the Inter- state Commerce Commission for April disclosing net gains by 1855 roads of almost fs25J 5J000, 900 over the cores bonding month of 1915. was not with out effect in that group. even though the government crop report on spring and winter wheat, published at the fag-end of the session, proved some what disappointing.
 Shipping shares were only second to the rails, United Fruit ascending a-4 to the new record of I69 1-2. while Marine preferred shook off some oi its recent heayiness on more reassur- Ting reports respecting the terms oi reorganization.

Smelling rose to a new maxi mum on it's advance of 3-8 to 8t 1-2, as did also American Beet Sugar which made a gain of 1 34 to S3 3-4 Stronger tendencies also were man ifested at times by some of the higl | priced tobacco speclaltfes, A1nericaI Coal products, American and Intsrna, tional Papers and local fractions.

distress of the most necessinous of tho 700, ,000 sufferers, and even this sum- which is all that the Relief Associa- tion can devote to the work for the next few months, can do little more than keep them from actual starFa- ton.
 With this sum 225 cities and villages in the occupied districts are being as- sisted. Ninety relief kitchens are in operation, with twenty-five tea halls About 750 tons of clothing bedding and footwear have been sent to the stricken districts. The grand lodge of B'nai B'rith in Germany has had large share in the relief work, and more than a half million marks has thus far been received from America- Up to date nearly 2,250,000 marks has been paid out by the Hebrew Relief Association for Poland and Lithuania- Funds available have not been suflc- tent to afford relief to some 10000 Jews in Courland, where the distress, other districts
 These activities however, have formed but a part of the work of the Relief Association. Quite as import ant and even more arduous has been it's work as an intermediary between the residents of the occupied districts and the outside world. In ul1s de- partment no denominational distinc- tions were made, Jews and Catholics
 alike being aided. Chief advantage was taken of this work by relatives and friends in America of the Polish sufferers The Relief Association found it's work increasing so rapidly. as the news became known in Ameri- ca that 1t was possible to communi- cate with Poland through the Assoc4- ation, that it is now compelled to employ a force of about fifty persona I to expediate letters and funds. About eight million marks has thus far been received from America for direct transmission, and the Relief Associa- | ton handles az many as one Hundred thousand lettels monthly from and to. America This must all be copied in the Associations offices, to make any system of secret communication i'm possible.
 The various relief funds are dlS- trfbuted with the aid of the military authorities. The American embassies and consulates have also done their

 work on.

PEAT Boos OF IRELAND.

Especial to The Builetin.) }

Washington, D. C.. June g. = Her revolutions may fail, disease may destroy her potato crop, and famine decimate her people, but one feature of Ireland remains co1astant-her vast peat bols, which furnish a bulky but inexpensive fuel for the islands num- erous poor. The National Geographic Society, from it's Washington head quarters, gave out the following peat bulletin today:
 Nearly one-seventh of the area of Ireland is bog land, unit for cultAva- ton, but this territory, nearly forty five hundred square miles, yields an almost inexhauztible supply of cheap fuel which for centuries has kept hun dreds of thousands from desperate suffering during the penetratingly damp cold of winter.
 'Peat-harvesting is an important industry in the Irish lOwlands, and one of the factors which eommends 1t to the poor IS that all the members of the family can contribute to the work in proportion to their full physical strength. Tine men can wield the spalde-1ike slane, carving the turf fn- to bricks, while the children carry the wet sod to places in the sun where 1t is left to dry for from four to six weeks.
