Assistant Secretary Of Navy
Impressed by Visit to
Irish Bases
U-Boats Now Curbed
Menace to Food Supplies Of
Allies in Europe No
Longer Exists

LONDON, July 26. Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Assistant Secretary of the
United States navy, and Sir Eric Ged-
des First Lord of the British Ad-
miralty, returned here To-Day from
an inspection of the naval establish
ments in the south Of ireland under
command of Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly.
Mr.. Roosevelt also visited one OF the
outlying units of the United States
feet, where an American admiral is in
command.
Mr. Roosevelt said he had found
there the same frictionless and efficient
unity which characterized conditions
IN Ireland and in the grand fleet. The
entire absence on both sides or any
national or professional jealousy and
the ease and simplicity with which the
principle OF single command Mas es-
tablished itself impressed him as one
of the soundest guarantees for event
ual victory.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he considered it
was only by the unifying Of command
that it had become possible to systema-
tie the methods of war at sea and
make it possible to carry out the gigan-
tic operation Of transporting American
troops in their weekly increasing num-
bers.
Anti-submarine measures have been
developed into a science. Mr.. Roose-
velt continued, and by virtue of the
fact that the naval forces used could
be and are welded as a single weapon
there no longer is any possibility that
the German submarine can become q
decisive factor in the war. 1t already
is true that tire submarine is mas
tered: it never again can constitute q
menace to the food supply of the AL
lies in Europe, nor interrupt the ar
rival of American troops, said Mr..
Roosevelt.
I've are bound to lose ships so long
as there are submarines afoat, but
they cannot make us lose the war;"
he concluded.
The party crossed from ireland on
an American destroyer. Before landing
sir Eric caused this signal to be flown
from the British escorting vessel:
THE First Lord is proud he should
have had the privilege of taking pas
sage in a United States destroyer with
the Assistant Secretary of the United
States navy Mr. Roosevelt joins Sir
Eric Geddes in approaching this unique
being so intimately associated, know
service during this war
"The First Lord and Mr.. Roosevelt
tender to the captains, the officers and
the ships's companies their thanks for
their personal services during the past
two days. They also wish them all
good luck and every success

Dead Bolshevik Chief
Was u. s. Union Man

The brief and varied career as a
Philadelphia clothing cutter, was re
vealed yesterday by the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Of America, which
identified him as NJ. Volodarsky, the

20. News Of the young mans death
it was said, had caused the death of
his father from heart disease at his
home, $50 North Third Street, Phila
delphia.
Goldsteir was born in Russia and
III 1910 was sentenced to Siberia as a
political offender. He made his escape
in 1912 and came to the United States
with his father. He was q member of
Local 2Sl of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers in Philadelphia. lie was
cutter in the Snellenberg factory
there and was leader in the strike of
1915.
At the first news Of the successful
revolution in Russia Goldstein gave
up his job and and bought a ticket
to his homeland. From his departure
in February, 1917, until the news of
his death reached them on July 2, his
parents heard little of him
AT the time of his death, however,
he was in control of all the newspapers
of Russia, occupying an important
position in the Bolshevik government.

meeting IN the outskirts of Petrograd
when his motor car came to a sudden
halt and the chauffeur got out as if
TO discover what was wrong with the
engine.
While the former clothing cutter

approached unobserved and levelled a
revolver. Goldstein drew a pistol from
his pocket, but before he could pull the

Riotous Russian
Meeting Ends as
Policeman Comes
Slavic Politics Starts Revolt
at Session of National
Defence Society

Members of the National Defence
Society. constituting Russia in min
iature, met last night in the hall of
the Russian Educational Society, 8
Second Avenue. They met because the
meeting had been advertised in the
newspapers, but of the purpose of the
meeting they knew nothing until Arch
priest Vladimir Alexandroff, president
Of the society, called the meeting to
order.
Brothers, fellow countrymen, we
must try to save Russia said he,
sonorously, and the society applauded
vigorously, the members nodding their
comprehension of the occasion of their
assembly. Archpriest Alexandroff pro-
ceeded with the entire approval of the
meeting apparently to outline his plans
and then in the same monotonous tone
read a statement announcing the So
ciety's withdrawal from the executive
committee of the Federation of Rus
sian organizations.
1t precipitated a revolt. A. krug-
liak arose and fewently declared that
only an orthodox army with a cross
in one hand and bread in the other
can save Russia" while the air about
him quivered with yells of "Scoun-
drel!" "Renegade!" "Throw him
out!' He is Bolshevik!" and "To-
varishch, this is a free meeting!"
More confusion and uproar followed !;
names were called and misdeeds speci-
fed and pinned to their alleged perpe-
traitors. The archpricst protested his
good intentions. He said that Russian
officers refused to join the society SO
long as it was affiliated with the fed
Grafton. He declared that it was far
from his purpose to seek to usurp the
functions of Colonel N. N. Koch
founder of the society, that he bowed
to the ground before the colonel, and
the portly church dignitary illustrate d
by bowng many times.
He did not quell the disturbance
however. Excitement rose to a high
pitch. Spectacles were removed and
sleeves rolled up. The violent outburst
of noise brought the janitor. who an
nounced that a patrolman was on the
way to the hall to see what the rumpus
was about, so the salvation of Russia
was postponed until another evening.

Lloyd George Urges
Ship Economy to
Help Win War
Emphasizes at Hoover Din
ner Increased Trans
portation Needs

LONDON, July 26.-The problem Of
shipping is still before the Allies now
that the food question has been solved,
said Premier Lloyd George in a speech
last night at dinner given by the
government in honor Of Herbert G.
Hoover, the American Food Admins
traitor, and the French and Italian Food
Ministers. America would have
gigantic army in France next year and
tonnage to bring supplies would be
greater than the tonnage needed to
bring the men across, he said America
end Great Britain, he declared were
building ships very fast, but the de-
mand for tonnage was Increasing and
economy in the use of food and other
necessities was still urgent.
Notwithstanding the output of ship
ping last month, which for the first
time was greater than the losses, the
Premier continued, and that the sur
plus would increase monthly, still the
demand was growing at an enormous
rate. Therefore, every shipload saved
meant an addition to the numbers and
efficiency of the American army on
which the hopes of the Allies are based.
The Premier added:
Consequently, there is urgent need
for stern and rigid economy. Ave are
learning many things in this war When
1t began we were foreigners to each
other We shall never meet as for
eigners again. We talk to each other
now as though we were old friends and
we are beginning to discuss things as
though we were members of the same
Cabinet. There is q common cause, a
common table, q common larder and a
common coal cellar. We are making
shipping common as far as possible.
From the common struggle and
common sacrifice we shall have COM
mon triumph and a common brother
hood, which will be the surest guaran-
tee of peace on earth and good will
among men of all races, creeds and
nationalities to the end of time"
Mr.. Hoover said that the only prob
lem now was that of ships and that
that problem had been helped greatly
by the solution of the food problem,
adding:
~ am happy to say that food sup
plies are assured for the period of the
war and | do not think it necessary
to estimate for more than two years
hence. In less than two years the re-
suit will be victory"
Mr.. Hoover indorsed the plea of Pre-
mier Lloyd George for economy, the
necessity for which had not relaxed
because success thus far had attended
the efforts Of the various governments.

gotiate Immediately with Germany

trian readiness for peace without an

New Austrian Premier
Called a Bureaucrat
Especial Dispatch to The Trsbunc)

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Oficial ad-
vices from Basic to-day state that while
the Austrian press gives little Informal
ton about Baron Max Won Hussarek,
the new Premier, he is considered as
having German tendencies. He was
professor of law in the University of
Vienna. The dispatch continues:
cit is generally thought that Won
Hussarek possesses much more the
ideas and character of an Austrian
bureaucrat than the qualities neces-
sary for statesman. 1t appears i'm
possible that he should think of doing
anything more than simply forming a
ministry composed of bureaucrats like
him self.
"The Vienna newspapers announce
that Baron Won Hussarek probably will
retain all the members of the Won
Seydler Cabinet except the two Polish
ministers, Twardowski and Czilanski,
who may be replaced by Madeyakre and
Galocki"
