national guard of the country into
the United States army. to date
from August 5 next, and also cali

ice. The national guard of New

kota and Nebraska will be called
into the federal service July Is and
sent to con ncentration camps in the

apply formally to them until Au-
gust S. To make certain that the
purpose of the national defense act
is carried out, the proclamation
specifically declares the men draft
ed are to be discharged from the
old militia status on August 5. In
that way the constitutional restraint
on use of militia outside the coun-
try is avoided and the way paved
for sending the regiments to the
European front. Prior TO the ap-
plication of the draft, regiments in
the northern and eastern sections
of the country are called into the
federal service as national guards
men in two increments to be mo-
biiized July Is and 25 Many units
already federalized and presumably
they will be mobliized with the
other troops from their states The
guard from the other states will be
mobilZed on the day Gi the draft.
This arrangement Was necessary to
provide for movement Of the regi-
ments south to their concentration
camps without con lestiOn and to
the same end the division OF states
( into these incremeuts was revised
from the original schedule The
operative date Of tue dIiiI vas de-
layed until Aug 5 So that all resi-
ments can be taken into the army
simultaneously.

TEUTON SUBS ATTACKED
AMERICAN TRANSPORTS
After Fierce Night Battle They were
Beaten OFF
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 4.-The American
destroyers, conveying the transports,
loaded with soldiers, to France, fought
off two submarines. The first news of
the fight was given out by the commit
tee of public information with formal
announcement of the safe arrival Of
the last transport.
At least one German submarine was
sunk in the fight. Tho attacks show
ed that the Germans had information
of the coming of the American trans
ports and had planned to get them.
The torpedoes of the Germans failed
to hit any of the American ships,
therefore no lives were lost.
Secretary Daniels in a statement
last night, gave the details of the
voyage. The first attack was made on
the night of June 22nd The conveys
used their heavy guns on the subma.
rines with such effectiveness that the
torpedo charges decreased and be-
came inaccurate. Powerful search
lights were used to find the subma-
rines.
A second attacks was made a few
days later and as result one sub
marine was sunk. The conveys used
grenades, which were thrown in the
water with the explosives timed to go
eff after going certain distance.
Last American Force has Arrived
Unknown French Port, July 4.-The
last of the American expeditionary
force, comprising vessels loaded with
supplies and horses, arrived here yes
ter day amid the screeching of whis-
ties and moaning of sirenes.
Their coming one week after the
landing of the first American troops,
was greeted almost as warmly as the
arrival of the troops themselves, be-
cause it meant a success in the un-
dertaking.

A TRIBUTE TO THE ALABAMA

Contrast the brutality shown to-
wards women and children on the
Lusitania, and scores of other ships
by the officially directed German sub
marines, with the Alabama's action
fifty years ago" he continued
.Semmes never destroyed a vessel
without providing for the safety OF
the passengers and crew. He turned
his own officers out of their cabins to
put in them the women and children
of his foes, and once when he had zoo
prisoners and prize he allowed them
to go in freedom on the vessel rather
than send them to nearby port
where there was yellow fever. Com
pare these actions with the methodi-
cal and organized brutality of the
German military authorities in this
war, and then brand with shame the
American traitors who seek to aid
Germany by asserting that we if
given the chance, would be guilty of
atrocities like those she has commit
ted"
Touching on the matter of language
Colonel Roosevelt declared that eve
must have in this country but one
flag, and for the speech of the people
but one language, the English Ian
guage. During the present war all
newspapers published in German, or
in the speech of any of our foes,
should be required to publish, side by
side with the foreign text, columns in
English containing the exact trans
lation of everything said in the for
eign language. Ultimately this should
be done with all newspapers publish
ed in foreign tongues in this country.
Universal suffrage should be
based on universal service in peace as
well as war;" said Colonel Roosevelt
in concluding his address. "Those
who refuse to render the one should
have no title to the enjoyment TO the
other. We stand for the democracy
of servicey we are against privileges,
therefore against the privilege which
would escape service in war.
"We must fight with steadfast en-
duranee, until we win the peace OF
overwhelming victory for righteous
ness, and even while thus fighting we
must prepare the way for the peace
of industrial justice, and the peace
of industrial democracy, which are to
come after, and to consecrate the
war"

PARADED THRU PARIS
Boys in Khaki Received an Enthus.
iastic Reception as They Marched
Along the BOulevards
ASSOCIATED Press)

Paris, France, July "A battalion
of American troops arrived in Paris
yesterday to parade today. The men
were greeted by widely cheering
crowds that packed the streets thru
which they marched to Neuilly bar
racks, where they are quartered. The
officers are being entertained at the
American club.
The Americans arrived at the Aus
terlitz station at TAO o'clock, having
been 36 hours on the way from the
French port at which they disem-
barked. The soldiers were greeted by
escorts from the French navy and
armies The French Red Cross pro-
vided refreshments and the American
Red Cross and Young Mems Christian
Association also sent representatives
to greet them. Headed by their own
band, the soldiers, carrying their
rifles and field packs, fell in and
marched off to the barracks. The
crowds waved American and French
flags. Hundreds of Americans were
in the crowds at the station.
As the men marched through the
streets French girls pinned bouquets
and American flags on the soldiers
breasts. The band played yankee
Doodle" Dixie" Marching Through
Georgia" and other American airs.
French soldiers on leave grasped the
hands of Americans and marched be-
side them.
Several times groups of shop. girls
on their way to work slipped through
the police lines and kissed the sol
diers, to their great embarrassment.
Now and then an American voice
would be heard calling out, Hello,
boys" and welcome to Paris" or
"Good luck" When the regimental
colors were carried past the men
barred their heads. The Americans
were greatly surprised to see a num-
Der of children kneel in the street as
the flag was carried by. They were
orphans from an institution in the
|neighborhood.
The soldierly bearing of the men
impressed the observers. They were
lean and brown and the new field
packs gave them quite different ap-
pearance from British or continental
soldiers.
