TREMENDOUS OVATION FOR

s. CHICAGO, Ill, May 6.-Gen. Joffre,
THE hero of the French nation, re-
ceived. an ovation from an audience
OF 100000 residents of this city last
night that brought the tears to his
eyes and affected the man who had
stood unmoYed in the midst of both
defeat and victory on the greatest
battlefield of the world. The famous
French soldier spoke Of the aims of
France and of her allies and made an
appeal to the highest motives of the
American people to join whole-heart-
eddy in the war for the crushing OF
autocracy.
The meeting, which was held out OF
doors, became endangered for few
minutes when an alarm of fire brought
engine after engine to the scene OF q
blaze only q block away, where fire
did damage to the amount Of $50, 900.
After the first flutter Of alarm, how
ever, the eloquence OF the speaker,
who paid no attention whatever to the
signs OF incipient panic, quieted the
crowd and the meeting proceeded
without interruption. The firemen
muffIed down their engines and
fought the fire with as little noise as
possible.

after We. first sighted the Uboaf il
emerged again about 1000 yards off.
Its intention probably had been to
catch us broadside on, but when 1t
appeared we had the stern gun train
ed full on it 80
The lieutenant gave the command
and the big gun booIhed, We saw the
periscupe shattered and the shell and
the submarine disappeared.

We did not stop to reconnoiter
after the incident, but steamed away
at full speed, for it was not improbable
that there was another submarine
about. The one we got undoubtedly
had been lying on the bottom at the
spot waiting for the ship and came
up when it heard our propeIlers.
That's about all the story, excepting
this: The gunners had named the
guns on board the Mongolia, and the
one which got the submarine was
called Theodore Roosevelt; so Teddy
fired the first gun of the war after all.

PATRIOTS HASTEN MOVE
TO COMBAT DARK

NEW YORK, March 3O.-In
order to offset a possible move
by the German government to
paralyze the efforts of Congress
in dealing with the war crisis,
groups of patriotic citizens in
New York, Chicago, Boston and
Philadelphia undertook today to
organize a pilgrimage of patriot
ism to Washington to attend the
opening of the extraordinary
session of Congress.

spirited men had become ner-
vous lest some dark influence"

be eXerted on the Congress, ar
rangements were made today on
an hours notice for a special
train to Washington on Sunday.
They got into communication
with friends in other cities and
in a short time assurances were
received from them that other
special trains would be organiz-
ed. The pilgrimage of patriotism
is the spontaneous reaction to
the suggestion received from
various sources today that the
German chancellor
would spring a peace move" as
a bait to Congress. There was a
conference of men connected
with Columbia University, the
American Rights League and
other organizations.

and difficulties of the railroads as fol-
lows:
First.-The multiplicity Of regula-
tions by the several states with respect
to the issue Of securities, involving de.
lays and conflicting state policies gen
orally dangerous and possibly disas-
trous.
SecOnd.-The state regulation Of
rates In such a manner as to unduIy
reduce revenues, to discriminate In fa-
Vor Of localities and shippers within
its own borders as against localities
and shippers in other states and to dis
turb and disarrange the structure Of
interstate rates.
Third.-The inability Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, whoever
the commissioners may be, to perform
the vast duties deVolVing upon it un-
der existing laws, resulting In delay
which should never occur In CONNER
cial matters-and compelling the COM
missioners to accept the conclusions of
their employees as final In deciding
matters Of great importance to the
commercial and railroad interests of
the country.
Fourth-The practical legality that
has been accorded conspiracies to tie
up and suspend the operation Of the
railroads OF the country by strikes and
violence and the absence Of any law
to compel the settlement Of such dis
putes by arbitration or other judicial
means, as all other issues between citi-
zens in civilized states are to be set
tied.
Fifth.-The phenomenal increase in
the taxation of railroads in recent
years.
Sixth.-The cumulative effect of
these conditions upon the investing
public, to which railroad companies
must look for the capital necessary to
continue development.
1--WE believe that the unifcation of
regulation is essential said Judge
Lovett, "and that with the rapid in
crease of state commissions in recent
years congress will in time be COM
PEELED to exercise it's power in the
premises. To unity regulation there
should be a complete, harmonious. con-
sistent and related system. We be-
lieve the best, if not the only practical
plan, is the federal incorporation of
railroads by general law, which will
make incorporation Hereunder COM
pulsOry, thus imposing on all railroad
companies throughout the United
States the same corporate powers and
restrictions with respect to their finan-
cial operations and the same duties
and obligations to the public and the
government, so that every investor will
know precisely what every railroad
corporation may and may not lawfully
do"
Judge LOvett cOntended that the So
luton of these problems and difficult
ties rested with congress. He told the
committee that under the constitution
the authority Of the federal govern
ment Is paramount, that congress has
the power to legislate for a centralized
control of railroads under federal char
ters and that 1t only remains for that
body to exercise that power.
