SO Rrattle street who disappeared

going under the name Of Charles Allen,
and her older companion is posing as
her brother.
When Rosie left home she was
dressed as a girl and looked at least

those of a boy and cut her hair, &C
cording to the story told the sheriff.
She had on when last seen brown

turned home Saturday and transferred
his wages to the landlady, drew money
from the oank and returned to Free

The couple left there Monday and their
present whereabouts are unknown.

SHlPYARD "SLAckERS"

For the past few weeks the ship

gage In the work of building ships.
Many of them are not at all anxious
as to the remuneration which they
Will receive for their services and this
is taken to mean that many OF the
applicants are simply trying to get
employment in shipyards hoping there
by to escape the draft as 1t is COM
monty believed that men engaged in
this occupation will not be taken. The
shipbuilders report that many Of these
men have applied and gone to work
at low wages, doing the work of the
usual Jumper, so called, and a num-
Der Of them are college men. some
having come from the middle west.
The Rockland shipbuilding concerns
have been solicited by many young
men. who may or may not be of the

course be extremely unfair to say thar
all young men applying for shipyard
work during the vacation are merely
seeking to evade the draft RESPONSE

fortunate for the industry and very
creditable to the applicant that young

TEUT0N OATH

London, July 2.-Big street demonstra-
lions have occurred at Warsaw as a re-
suit of the arrest Of Gen. Pisudski OF
the Polish Legion and other leaders in
the movement against imposing an oath
OF fidelity to the Austro- German sover-
egns upon the Polish arnH. Many OF
the dictionaries have refused to take such
an oath.
The Polish Council Of State has pro-
tested to the governor general against
the arrests as unjustihable and has de-
clared that only the speediest possible
establishment of genuine Polish gov
eminent and army will quiet public
opinion.
General Won Beseler, the German gov
ernor general. replied, refusing the re-
lease OF the Poles and declaring that the
German authorities had proof that Gen.
Pilsudski was organizing movement
against Germany. Vienna dispatches in
dictate that Gen. Pilsudski's following Is
far greater than the German reports
gave any impression Of and include
large part Of the political left.
A Zurich dispatch to Reuters Limited

that not only merely single units Of le-
giona ries refused TO take the military

Pisudski is released Immediately, it Is
believed serious consequences will ensue.
