Renewed Pledges by

Theodore Roosevelt the Chief
Speaker at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, June 10 Pledges of
loyalty to the nation were renewed by
officials of the Railroad Brotherhoods
in addresses at their annual memorial
services here today at which Theodore
Roosevelt was the chief speaker.
Members of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers, the Order of Rail-

Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
the Brotherhood of Railway Train

Telegraphers from all sections Of the
East attended.
j. c. Mcdonald, representing the
trainmen, said the brotherhoods were a
unit in their eagerness to assist the
government in any way within their
power. We will gladly suspend law

Colonel Roosevelt called upon all

COUNTRY NOT YET
AROUSED TO ITS
RESPONSIBILITY
People Must Suffer Per-
sonal Loss Before
Apathy Is Thrown Off,
Says Secretary Emer-
son-List of Contribu-
tons by Federal Re-
serve Centers

New York, June 10.-A survey of
the country made by the Liberty Loan
committee here has revealed, it was
asserted tonight, that while the people
are awake to the significance of the
bonds, the tangible results are far from
satisfactory.
There would be a more generous
response if we were in the present po-
sition of France or England" said
Guy Emerson, secretary of the public
ity committee. Seemingly, it will re-
quire food tickets, trainloads of
wounded men, personal loss and other
physical and mental manifestations of
war to arouse the country to its full
responsibility toward this loan.
This apathy is explainable only on
the ground that the fact that we are
at war has not been carried fully to
the minds of our people. There is a
refusal to realize the horrors that ac-
company war because as yet they form
no part of our life"
Information from editors Of the ma
TONS leading newspapers, the loan
committee said, indicated the people 8
enthusiasm and their full employ
ment of the symbols and sounds of
participation but at the same time a
lack of "whole- hearted and whole
some subscription. The editors re-
ported more of results expected than
of results achieved" the committee
said. but gave universal praise to the
wage earners for the part they are
playing.
In the final days of the loan cam
paign here the whistles of all steam
vessels in New York will be blown
three minutes each noon, beginning to-
morrow, as one means of calling the
peoples attention to the bond.
James E. West. chief scout execu-
tive of the Boy Scouts of America, in
returning to the national headquar-
tiers here after conference with off,
Gals in Washington, predicted that
the organizations four-day bond SELL
ing campaign throughout the country
would be successful. The nation has
been divided into seventeen zones for
this work which begins tomorrow

TAKEN PRISONER
By Members of National
Seamen's and Fire
mems Union Jowett
and Mcdonald Were
About to Sail for Pet
rograd

London, June 1o.-Members of the
National Seamens and Firemen's
Union today have taken prisoner
Frederick w. Jowett, president of the
Independent Labor Party. and James
! Ramsey Macdonald. chairman of the
Labor Party, both members of par
lament, who were about to sail for

An enthusiastic demonstration was
held this afternoon in Trafalgar square
to protest against permitting Mr.. Mac
Donald and Mr.. Jowett to proceed to
Petrograd on account of their sup
posed pacifist leanings.
Telegram Of Arrest
The meeting was opened by the
reading of the following telegram from
Captain Upper of the Seamen's and
Firemen's Union:
Il have Macdonald and Jowett pris-
oners. The crew refuses to sail with
them
The Trafalgar square demonstration
brought together great crowds. Joseph
Havelock Wilson, president of the Ma
tional Seainan's Union, in the course
of a speech, said:
This is no new question. I wrote
IS months ago a protest to the coun-
Gil of the German transport federation
against the submarine barbarities and
warned the council that unless it pro-
tested against the U-boat warfare my
union would refuse to participate aft
er the war in any conference includ-
ing Germans. The answer received
was that my proposal was laughed to
scorn and that the U-boats were per-
fectly justified in acting as they did"
MIR. Wilson said there were 100000
organized workers in Great Britain,
and if Ramsay Macdonald was able
to get half a million Of those votes in
his Favor the union would Immediately
withdraw the boycott If Macdonald
wanted to go to Petrograd, said The
seamen's president, let him produce his
credentials to represent British labor.
Several others spoke and a resolu-
ton was carried declaring that "a
mass meeting of citizens Of London de-
plores the decision to grant passports
to pacifst delegates to the socialist
conference at Petrograd and endorse
the action Of the seamen's union in
refusing to work on ships on which
such delegates are passengers
Mr.. Jowett and Mr.. Macdonald were
appointed by the Independent Labor
party the pacifist Socialists element.
to go to Potrograd to confer with Rus
sian Socialists The Seamens and Fire.
mems Union adopted a resolution last
week that none Of its members must
be permitted to man any vessel con-
veying pasifists to Petrograd or to
Stockholm, where the Internal ional So
cialist Congress is to be held. unless
they signed a guarantee that they
would insist upon restitution to allied
merchant seamen for the murder and
destruction committed by German sub
marines

Deny Deputation Sent
to Russia

Amsterdam. Via London, June 10
A semi official dispatch from Vienna
denies the Petrograd report of an
Austro- Hungarian army deputation be-
ing sent to Petrograd to talk peace
conditions with the Russians. No such
deputation from the Austro- Hungarian
armies even has crossed the Russian
frontier, it is asserted.
A Budapest dispatch says Emperor
Charles has taken occasion again to
assure the Hungarian people that he
is in favor of an early peace, as well
as wide reform of the suffrage. On
Friday an enormous crowd. estimated
at 1000 persons, marched to the Bur-
gomaster's office at Budapest, where
Deputy Nasconyi gave the Burgomas
ter an address to be delivered to Pre-
mier Esterhazy, urging the adoption OF
the secret vote and an enlarged fran
chiSe.
The Burgomaster presented the ad-
dress yesterday. The Emperor replied
that. true to his promise, he would see
that the suffrage reform was carried
out and would utilize the first occasion
to conclude an honorable peace.

A Valuable Position

The taking of Messines ridge has
robbed the Germans of the last COM
handing natural position they occu-
pied for SO long opposite the British
line. Bapaume and Nimy and Mes
sines ridges. as we'll as MonChy Pla-
teau, five miles east of Arras. have all
been captured by the British during
the last three months. and this has
materially changed the military situa-
ton on this front
When the Germans chose what they
were pleased to term permanent lines OF
defense in 1914 they occupied these van
tage points with a foreknowledge OF their
strategic, tactical and observation values
as keen as that possessed by any French
military student. The Germans had
thorough familiarity with, aud detailed
maps Of, every square rcd of French ter
ritory over which they proposed to tight,

have had to endure the handicap Of lying
under their direct observation and FIRE for

guise the satisfaction with which thew
now look to the future and what II holds
