RUSSIAN MASSES FOR WAR

Workmen, Soldiers and Deputies De-
 clare For Prosecution of Hostilities
 Against House of HOhenzOllern.
 Petrograd. March 29, via London, 1O:50 a. m.-A declaration in support of the war has been issued by a com- mittee of workingmen, soldiers and deputies and apparently represents the sober conclusion which the masses of the population have reached after being swayed this. way and that by the turbulent currents and cross- cur- rents which swept through the coun- try in the first days of the revolution. This conclusion is that liberty and victory over the Germans are insep- arable and that the responsibility for plunging Europe into war rests on the Hohenzollern family and Prussian imperialistic ambition.
 The tendency is to regard the war no longer as a struggle between na- tions but between the new spirit of democracy and the old spirit of im- perialism. The people are eagerly de- sirous of peace but are ready to de- vote redoubled energy to war if that is the only way of achieving it.

LITTLE IMMIGRANTS LOST.
Landed fin Boston and We're Coming
 to This City.

to This City.
 Chief Of Police William J. Rawlings has been asked to aid in the search to locate Maria Caccamo, aged nine teen, and her sister, Guiseppa Cac- camo, aged sixteen. who arrived in Boston yesterday from Italy and were expected to arrive in this city on the 9 o'clock train last night. Their brother. Francesca Caccamo of S5 Arch street, expected them and was greatly disappointed at their non-ar- rival. Especially so because others who arrived on the same ship reached this city safely.
 As far as can be learned, Maria and Guiseppa were with the others until a start was made for the train, becoming separated in south station. It is believed that they got on the wrong train and, because of inability to speak English, are being detained somewhere. Chief Rawlings tele- graphed to the federal authorities in Boston this afternoon in an attempt to locate the girls.

THREE AUTOS ii CRASH.

The authorities are seeking to locate an unidentified autoist whose car damaged automobiles belonging to Henry Morans, jeweler, of 321 Main street, and Earl Delage of Southing- ton on Commercial street shortly be- fore noon today. Morans was driving east of Commercial street when his car came in collision with the one, whose owner has not been determined. The force of the collision drove Mo- rans car back into the one owned by Delage, which was standing by the curb in front of the Armour wholesale beef house. The unidentified autoist did not only fail to stop but put on increased speed and disappeared in the confusion.

BELGIAN COMMISSION
 DENOUNCED AS SPIES
Tages Zcitung Says They Conveyed Military Information to Brit
 ish War Office.

ish War Office.
 Copenhagen, via London, March 29. There has been a noticeable ab- sence of comment in the German pa pers of the last few days on the news of American war preparations. The newspapers have printed various de. spatches. some from New York and others from the Anglo French press, but generally without comment The tone of the headlines alone indicates the increasing certainty that war is inevitable.
 The news of the recall of the American representatives on the Bel gian relief commission, has however. stirred the editorial writers into breaking their silence. The Tages Zeitung attacks the American com missioners sharply declaring that they were steadily working in English in terests and furnished a regular chan nei for the transmission of military rews between them. It also reports to American criticism of the interrup- tion of Brand Whitlock's communi- cations by referring to the alleged restrictions placed on Count Won Pernstorff's use of the wireless by the American government.
 An inspired explanation which ap- pears in the German papers in regard to the sinking of relief ships is that they entered the prohibited zone where safe conducts are invalid.
