Tony Is in the Army,
But What He Tried
To Do Was Register
Portuguese with Big Family
Now Wants Congress to
Find Way Out for Him
rFrom rne Tribune Bureaul

Washington, June Patriots all
meet Tony Reposa, of Boston, who Of
fered his life for his country, and never
knew that he had done it until 1t was
too late to get it back.
Tony, who is Portuguese by birth, is
row in the United States army. Since
he awoke to that realization the other
day, his attorneys have been trying to
move heaven and earth and the United
States Congress to get him out again.
According to the tale which his law
yers have forwarded to his Representa-
tive in Congress, Tony was informed
by some one that he must register be-
fore Memorial Day or 90 to jail. Fol-
lowing directions, the Portuguese
American set out TO do his duty by his
country.
"a want to register for the army, y
quoth Tony to a gentleman in uniform,
who Immediately became most obliging.
Other equally accommodating persons,
also IN UNIFORM, tNaillieu "'i"' b"'N
him an oath to repeat and then asked
him to sign his name.
"Come back next Saturday" one of
them told him. "And we'll take care Of
you then"
An awful thought was dawning in
Tony's brain. A few questions ripened
this into conviction. Instead Of regis
tering for the draft, he had got into a
recruiting station by mistake and had
ioined the United States army.
There was an explosion of Portu-
guese. the sound Of some one falling
downstairs, and then the dwindling
clatter Of feet in rapid motion, as
Tony went away from the obiging gem
tlemen in uniform, TO find his lawyer,
and the person who gave him directions
for registering.
Boston members Of Congress are now
asked 10 get the involuntary volunteer
out of the army so that he can take
care Of his widowed mother and seven
brothers and sisters.

Harbor Closing
Gives the City
A War Chill
Stocks Fall and Riverside
Shivers, All Because Gate
in Net Is Widened

Reports of U-boats off Sandy Hook
and eerie rumors Of German raiders in
the Narrows few thick and fast along
the river front yesterday, when mys-
terious orders from the Brooklyn navy
yard resulted in New York Harbor be-
ing closed to shipping for several
hours.
Nervousness reigned afoat and
ashore while the captains of obstructed
fishing boats bound for the banks trem-
bled in their cabins and nervous
nursemaids kept excited children as far
as possible from the seaward side OF
Riverside Drive. Even the stock mar
ket shivered and shook so that the
bears had brief spell of success.
After speculation had been exhausted
and the War Department had tele-
graphed from Washington, protesting
its ignorance OF the reason for the clos
ing order, it was quietly given out at
the navy yard that the port had been
shut to permit the widening Of the
gateway in the 1,000-yard steel net
which is stretched between Forts Ham
ilton and Wadsworth to prevent the
Kaiser's men coming in.
Since Decoration Day many of the
local steamship companies operating
between nearby points have started
,Lo;- .,,,,,o. gcLaduIo ,unniuC MANY
more boats. With the previous small
entrance to the harbor great conges-
tion of shipping occurred in the Mar
rows. and it was therefore deemed ad-
visable by navy officials to widen the
gate.
The Taurus, Of the Iron Steamship
Company, bound for the fishing banks
off Sandy Hook, was the first vessel TO
be affected by the closing order. An
officer on one of the navy yard tugs
megaphoned 10 the vessels captain that
he would have TO turn back, but offered
no explanation.
Soon after daybreak, Admiral Usher,
from the Brooklyn navy yard, ordered
that no outgoing vessels be permitted
to pass the Narrows. Coney Island
boats. fishing boats, tugs, liners and
craft Of all variety were forced TO drop
anchor. At II a. m. another order from
tho navy yard sealed the harbor and its
approach to both incoming and outgoing
vessels. At 1920 p. m, when the bar
Dor looked more like Brooklyn Bridge
in rush hours than it has in the mem
ory of the oldest New Yorker, the
word came that "it was all right to so
ahead"
d .spatches from the War Department
stated officially that the action Of
closing the Port of New York was
taken by the Brooklyn navy yard Of
ficials on their own authority" and
added that 1.-THE report of what had
been done did not explain the reason
for which the port was closed

Socialist Congress
Beginning to Win
Favor in England
Feeling Grows That Something
May Be Accomplished for
Peace
By ARTHUR S. DRAPER
IBy Cable 10 The Tribuncj

London, June 1.-The Stockholm con-
ference is increasing in Importance.
Until the last two days it was gener-
ally understood that the convening of
the conference arose partly from the
German Socialists desire, animated by
Bethmann-Ho to escape the conse-
quences of Germany's war policy, now
that the Allies are surely getting the
upper hand. But the situation is now
entirely changed.
The fear that the wires OF the con-
ference would be pulled by Germany is
ended, because Branting, the Swedish
Socialist, who is one Of the chief con-
veners, is a strong supporter of the Al
lies, which gives an entirely different
complexion to the facts.
1t is realized that after discussion the
delegates might discover there was
more common sground between them
than was previously imagined, and that
in many important controversies they
might reach an agreement, which would
be bound to have some bearing on the
course of the war.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-02
An Open Conference

An Open Conference
No delegation from any country is
likely to arrive at Stockholm with a
cast iron programme, but. at the same
time, the ideas of all must be generally
swayed By the objects and aspirations
of their respective governments. Nat
urally the Allied countries have no part
or share of any kind in the conference,
but in any event 1t is better to have an
open conference than to allow the
original hole-in-the-corner meeting
contemplated by Germany
This view is reflected in the British
press to-day, which overnight generally
turned from hostile opposition TO what
may be termed a passive neutrality.
1t is unwise to form optimistic views
regarding a satisfactory peace to
emanate from the conference. although,
as stated, events might occur from it.
Not Prepared for Peace.
The present situation is that the
belligerent nations are not prepared
for peace discussions. There is vast
gulf between peace discussions and a
peace based on the aims for which the
Allies have fought during three years.
But the profound change which has oc-
Cured in the last two days, with
rapidty almost as remarkable as
Russia's change from autocracy to
democracy, is worthy Of notice.
Curiously enough, it comedies with
the lull in the fighting. The belliger-
ents are entering the finest fighting
month of the year with comparative
calm on every front. except the Italian,
and even there the pace has greatly
slackened. Unquestionably the fighting
will flare up again promptly, but both
sides now seem satisfied to jog along
under double wraps.
Add TO this a situation with prohibi-
tive food prices and months and years
of grinding toll in the machine shops
under double pressure and you obtain
an explanation Of the unrest and the
willingness of the people TO seek a
panacea, even if il be found in the
manpuvres Of the Socialists, who a
few months back were classed as pro-
German traitors.
Germans Must Make Amends
But the fact must be emphasized
| that, however anxious the Allied people
are for peace. they will accept it only
if the enemy makes full amends and
shows q contrite spirit. II is entirely
a question for the Germans TO decide
/ and it is the opportunity which Beth
mann -Hollweg pretended that he
wanted.
The spirit of war burned through the
lands like wildfre. Can the spirit OF
peace petmeate the people as quickly
The Leeds conference on Sunday,
where the Socialist Laborites are to
meet. will show how strong the peace
movement has grown and it will also
test the governments attitude. One
resolution the conference will adopt
declares for council OF workmen ana
soldiers, delecates TO meet daily in
London and work for a speedy peace.

ART IN OPERATING MACHINES
Alexander Bakshy Contends One Piece of Mechanism Requires as Much
 Skill as Other.

The contention that automatic mechanism can never attain the ar- tlstlc requires sounder reasons than those which are usually put forward, Alexander Bakshy maintains in his book, 'The Path of the Modern Rus sian State and Other Essays" He, says:
 "It is obvious that the whole argu- ment stands or falls by the defni- tion of mechanism
 "This, however, is so indetermi- nate that we see similar kinds of ac- tlon, in one case styled mechanical, and in the other case highly indi- yidual. Who will doubt, for instance, that the action of an organ played at. 8 concert Is individual and that of al locomotive engine mechanical? (II pass over the controversial question: of the piano-player.) And yet it cannot be disputed that the second requires as much skill and personal control as the first. Let it be noted the point of the argument is not whether their work is art or not, but whether it is mechanical or nonme- ehanical. I maintain that there isI no real distinction between the one and the other, and that both can be made to serve artistic ends if prop erly used"
