not German submarines. was the only
thing that impeded the voyage OF
the American steamship Orleans. said
Allen w. Tucker, her captain, on her
arrival here this morning. The Or
leans first anchored last evening off
Pauillac, where she was visited by
newspaper correspondents.
Captain Tucker appeared very tired
from the constant strain OF his last
forty-eight hours on the bridge. He
volunteered no information, but said
unhesitatingly that he had not caught
sight of a single submarine during
the entire voyage.
Captain Tucker said that the only
untoward Incident Of the voyage was
the wrecking of the cabin Of second
OFFICER Evans by q huge wave. The
Orleans sighted two fishing vessels
and two freighters when nearing the
danger zone. The first intimation
that he had passed the "blockaded
area" came when 1t was signaled by
a French torpedo boat which ran
up huge banner inscribed with the
word welcome" when she had learn
ed the identity of the Orleans. The
Orleans proceeded up the Gironde
river after an examination OF its
papers by the authorities early this
morning.
When the skipper went ashore he
was received with loud cheers by
big crowd. Speeches>of welcome were
made by the mayor. by local civic
authorities. and by a special repre-
sentative of the American embassy
and other Americans. The crew also
was cordially received.

Der, 1912, he went to Waterbury ac- companied by Mrs. Gilligan, drew his balance of $1,167 from a, savings bank there and turned it over to the accus ed. Miss Smith was told of the with drawal of of the money later bu under stood it was to be used in making a life contract by Smith with Mrs. GiIli- gan for a thousand dollars. Smith had entered the home on a weekly payment arrangement with the understanding g that later he might make a contract. When Miss Smith, according to her testimony spoke of the supposed con- tract, Mrs. Gilligan informed her that none had been made, but that she had retained the money charging weekly board and other bills against it. Sub Sequently a life contract was made.
 Objection to this testimony by the defense brought a statement from States Attorney AlcOrn that the prose cution would show that Mrs. Gilligan also through an order secured from longing to him from bank in New York city, the only part of the order written by Smith having been ap parently his mark against his name. The state would further show, it was stated, that during the nearly two years Smith was in the home Mrs. Gilligan had taken charge of about s2.3oO belonging to him. Smith was and died on Good Friday, 1914.
 Third Name Brought Into Case.
 Aside from that of Andrews, Smiths death is the third of those included in the grand jury indictment, to be brought into the case, the others being those of Mrs. Alice H. Gowdy of Hart ford and Michael w. Gilligan, second husband of the accused It is con- sidered probable that the testimony of the states experts including Dr. Vtc-- tor c. Vaughn of the University of Michigan, may be reached early next week.
 It is understood that the defense in presenting it's case will put Mrs. Gilligan on the stand if her condition permits it. Today as during the pre- ceding days of the trial, the accused woman sat for the most part with down cast eyes and showing little ap- parent interest in the proceedings.

 Two Commissioners Dissented
 Commissioner McChord dissented and Commissioner Meyer dissented in part. Commissioner McChord said: {: The issue is in reality rather one of governmental policy than a question whether the rates sought are reason able for the service of transportation. " The commission in announcing the decision said:
 We are led to the conclusion that 10 condition of emergency exists as to the western and southern carriers. which would justify permitting a gen eral increase in their rates to become effective"
 In the Eastern Districts.
 ''In the eastern districts increas ascd rates have recently been permitted to become effective generally on bitumi % nous coal, coke and iron ore We think that similar increases may pro- perly be permitted in the southern district on coal, coke and iron ore, and in the western district on coal and coke.
 Tn the southern district the pro posed increased rates on coal are on the bases of fifteen per cent, with a maximum of Is cents a ton These tariffs we shall permit to become cf- fective."

April 1917, a state of war was de- clared to exist between the United States of America and Germany On the 18th of June, the president Of the United States by proclamation, ap- pointed the period of June 23rd to June 30 as recruiting week, for the regular army and called upon unmarried men, between the ages of IS and 40 years who have lao dependents and who are not engaged in pursuits vitally nee essary to the prosecution of the war 70 present themselves for enlistment during that week to the number Of 10000. On June 18th the First and Second regiments of the Connect1cut National Guard were approximately 1,- 300 short Of their required war strength and on that date 1t was still necessary for Connecticut to furnish 1.234 men, as volunteers for the regu- lar army of the United States. June 3Otb is the last day on which enlist rents in the national guard or regular army will count toward reducing the quota to be assigned to Connecticut for the new selective draft army.
 Hundreds of Men Short.
 Although vigorous efforts have been made in Connecticut to stimulate re cruiting the latest figures from the several counties of the state indicate that to date tho number of men re- cruited is many hundreds short or those required Connecticut with a wonderful record in times of war since the foundation of the colonies must not be found wanting t this critical iuncture of the greatest of all wars.
 Call For Volunteers.
 Now, theregore, by virtue of the au- thority vested in me, I call the men of Connecticut who may be eligible to present themselves on the 30th day of June, 1917, for the purpose of volun- teerirg in either the national guard of Connecticut or the regular army proving that Connecticut may fulfill the obliga ations imposed upon her.

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION HAS POSTPONED ENTENTE VICTORY David Lloyd George So Asserts in
 Speech at Giasgo.

GIasgo, June 29 - David Lloyd George, the prime minister, delivered stirring and characteristic speech be- fore the burgesses of the northern metropolis on the occasion of his being made a freeman of the city in St. An dreW's hall today.
 The expectations that the premier would make some utterance on the question of peace were not disappoint- ed. He declared that if peace came an hour before the objects for which Great Britain entered the war had been achieved it would be a calamity for Europe. Germany. the premier said, wanted peace. but a peace which would make the countries she invaded subject nations.
 MT Lloyd George pointed out that no German statesman had promised the restoration of Belgium and said that the ersente allies could enter in to a conference with a denocratized Germany in a different spirit than they could deal with the Prussfan autocra- Great Britain, said MT Lloyd George, could hold out if Germany's subma- rine war was kept in bounds and the people practiced fruga1ity.
 The public enthusiasm was temper ed by unfriendly demonstrations, for Mir. Lloyd George had previously in cured the hostility of some sections of the Glasgow laborers in his deal ings with them while minister of nu-
 
 gathered outside the hall where the ceremony of making the premier a freeman took place and sang the Red Flag" but the cheers of the friendly majority drowned their demonstra- tions.
 Mr. Lloyd George said he was steep ed morning noon and night in the per plexities, difficulties and anxieties of the war.
 "All the same" he continued, 'T feel that the difficulties will be overcome if we persevere trough
 As to the military situation, there is no doubt the startling developments in Russia have modified the military situation this year temporarily to our disadvantage, but permanently for the better. What happened on the west ern front showed what could have been accomplished this year if the allied forces had been ready to bring all- round pressure to bear.

RUSSIAN DUMA IS
 TO CONTEST DISSOLUTION
VII Not Abide by Decision of Sol diers' and Workmen's Councils.

Petrograd, June 29.-The Russian duma will not abide by the decision recently passed by the congress of sol diers' and workmen's councils calling for it's dissolution, says a resolution passed at a private meeting of mem bers of the duma held to discuss the demand
 "The duma," says the resolution passed by the members at this meet ing, having powerfully contributed to the abdication of Nicholas and the formation of the provisional revolu- tionary government which the entire country immediately recognized, thus showing it's confidence in the duma, and having in this manner acted as a revolutionary institution independently of it's position during the old regime. the duma is of the opinion that 1t cannot cease to exist as an organ of national representation and will ad- here to it's patriotic duty of raising its voice, if necessary, to preserve the F'a- therland from the dangers which threaten and guide it in the right path
