Basfile Day to
Bring Neutrality
Crisis in Arqentiir7o

BUENOS AYRES, June 14.-The diff
ferences among the supporters Of
President Irigoyen as to the govern
ment's position in the war are ap-
preaching crisis. In the Chamber of
Deputies at present bill making July
IA national holiday in Argentina is
being debated, with a fair chance that
it will be passed
The bill is being supported by Lib
eral Radicals. who are friendly 70 the
United States and the Allies, and who
maintain that Bastile Day, July Ia, is
significant to the democracies of the
world. The Conservative Radicals and
the Clerical Radicals, who are friendly
to Germany, Spain and Mexico, argue
that such a celebration would offend
the Germans and that the holiday is
merely pretence by the pro-Allied
Radicals to force the government to
sidestep neutrality.
If the bill is passed, which is believed
probable in political circles, it will be
up to the President to either sign or
veto it. In either case he would have
to take definite stand.

LONDON. June 14.-An Austrian
blow launched yesterday against the
defences of Tonale Pass, the scene of
the recent Italian victory. preceded by
an intense and extended artillery bonn
bardment, was broken up by the Ital-
ian defenders and the enemy driven
back, according to a statement issued by
the War Office in Rome to-day. The
Austrians suffered heavy losses. The
announcement follows:
I'm the early hours yesterday, after
an intense and extended artillery prep

the defences of Tonale Pass by launch
ing an infantry attack against Cady

Cordiality Is Praised
Washmgton's Plan Would Make

SANTIAGO, Chile, June 1.-THE
"Nacion," the official organ Of the gov
ernment, publishes an article which
says that the government of the United
States desires to form a political bloc
with the nations Of South America
with the object of moving in concert
with them in future affairs.
1t adds that the Bryan formula. foI
submitting to arbitration all the ques-
tions arising between nations had
swept aside the suspicious which had
been felt in South American countries
toward the policies of the United
States.
The article closes with fluctuations
over the cordiality of the United
States, which, it says, "will make all
America political force and great
commercial power"
The same idea is echoed by othe,

4:3O P. m. wireless message was re-
ceived announcing that an Allied
steamship was being attacked off the
Atlantic coast by she'll fire from a

Lads of Thirteen Taken
From Homes in
Flanders
Town Loses 2, 700 Men
Old Excuse of Taking the I'm
employed Is Abandoned
Women Are Counted

WASHINGTON, June ID. - Deporta-
tion and forced labor inflicted upon
Belgian civilians by the German gov
ernment not only continue unabated,
but have taken On new character, ac-
cording to a mem orandum presented to
Secretary Of State Lansing by the Bel
gian Minister, and made public to-day.
Tho memorandum contains a copy of a
protest sent to the German Governor
General of occupied Belgium by the
Belgian Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives in March.
The deportation Of civilians is still
being carried on, states the memoran-
DUN, especially in the military zone,
which comprise the two Flanderses and
a great part of the provinces of Hal
naut, Namur and Luxembourg. During
March of this year 2,700 men from all
conditions of life have been taken from
Locheren, in East Flanders, to do mill
tary work on the Western front. Meer-
beke, Wachtebeke and the surrounding
region were called on during the same
month to furnish 500 civilians to lay
railroads. The names of all girls and
women from fourteen to forty years
were required by the Germans from
Alost and that district. Some of the
boys deported are as young as thirteen
and half years, the memorandum
states. High school and grammar
schools have been called upon to fur
nish their quotas.
Those deported, instead of being sent
to Germany, as in the past, the memo
randum declares, are now being sent to
work in the region behind the German
front in France and Belgium: The
Germans also appear to have changed
their reasons for the deportations, the
note states. The pretext formerly
used-namely, to give work to the un-
empoyed-has been abandoned.
The deportees are herded like cattle
in special camps and compelled to do
work OF military character or inter-
est. Many are sent into the zone of
operations and exposed to the fire Of
Belgian or Allied batteries. Besides,
they are subjected to bad treatment
and brutality. Their complaints do not
reach the outside world, for the mill
tary zone to which they are sent is
strictly closed and no delegate of a
neutral power is ever allowed to enter
this territory.

Peru I akes Over
Ger111ar1y's s lraterned
Vessels at Callao
$4,000 Tons of Shipping
Requisitioned by the
Government

LIMA, Peru, June 14.-The Peruvian
government, through its military forces,
has taken possession Of the German
vessels interned at Callao.
To-day's session of the Chamber of
Deputies was devoted to discussion
on national defence. Several Deputies
recommended immediate military prep
arations.
This action by the Peruvian govern
ment follows upon the breaking off of
diplomatic relations with Germany by
Peru early last October Peru broke
with Germany because Germany failed
to reply satisfactorily to demands con-
corning the sinking of Peruvian barks.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-There are
eight German vessels interned at Cal
lao, with capacity Of slightly less than
$4,000 deadweight tons. They include
several large steamers, with passenger
accommodations, formerly plying be-
tween San Francisco and West Coast
South American ports and German
ports.
When Peru broke relations with Ger
many the Peruvian Congress gave the
President authority to utilize the Ger
man ships if the national necessity de-
manded it. Officials here to-day
thought the German ships had been
seized under authority of that law.

their net tonnage include the steamers

Labor Blocks All
Moves That Might
Ennbarrass Wilson
Convention of Federation
Sidetracks Radicals Re-
construction Plan
(SpeciaI Dispatch to The Tribune)

(SpeCtH DtSputCn 10 Il ne ITIOune)
ST. PAUL, June 14.-Oficers of the
American Federation of Labor were
careful in the sessions to-day to pre-
vent any action which might embarrass
the Administration. A movement led
by Max Hayes, one of the traditional
radicals of the Federation, to discuss
from the floor radical "reconstruc-
tion programme" similar to that of the
British Labor party was diverted to
committee. Thus probably the only Sc
rious attempt on the part of the radi-
Gals in this convention was sidetracked
noiselessly.
The women Of the Federation made
a determined attempt this morning to
gain representation on the executive
council, through an amendment which
would add two women members to
the body. The amendment was lost,
but later it was announced that Miss
Agnes Nester, of Chicago, a member of
the labor mission to England, would
run for vice-president. Her chances are
considered good.
Santiago Iglesias, one of mission to
federate the trade unions of Mexico
and combat pro-German propaganda
there, informally reported consider
able measure of success. The work of
his mission is regarded as parallel to
that of President Wilson's drive to
create Pan-America founded on
more proof that the President has
accepted the American Federation of
Labor as the industrial arm of his
political policy.
William Green, on behalf Of the
miners union, stated that if shortage
of bituminous coal arose this winter
it would not be the fault of the miners,
who were capable of producing all the
coal the country might need as, he
asserted, they were last winter. 1t was
the lack of railway cars, he said, which
caused the famine. In the anthracite
field, however, he admitted there was a
labor shortage due to enlistments in
the army and the depletion of man
power caused by higher wages in other
industries.
The officers who have consistently
throughout the sessions sought to pre-
vent explosions from the floor, this af-
ternoon virtually squelched resolu-
| tion aimed at the Liberty Defence
| Union, of 1873 West Thirteenth Street,
New York City. charging that it had
! solicited funds from trade unionists
under false pretences, and that it's
officers included fanatics, anarchists
Socialists or revolutionists, ETC., who
have earned a reputation for their an
ti-Americanism and antagonism to
trade unionism."
The committee on resolutions rec
ommended that because of the Ian
guageH of the resolution its substance
could be considered only by the execu-
tive council, and that if truth was
found in the charges, the matter should
be submitted to the Department OF
Justice. The recommendation was
adopted with only two dissenting votes

Aid From President
Long Counted On by
Union Telegraphers
Especial Dispatch to The Tribu,e)

ST. PAUL, June 14.--News that
President Wilson had requested the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies to permit the unionization
Of their employees, to avoid a wartime
STRIKE. caused scarcely ripple of sur
prise among the delegates to the con-
vention Of the American Federation of
Labor here to-day.
Those on the inside, it became known,
action from the beginning, and had in
corporated it in their plan to force
unionization on the telegraph companies
at this time. President S. J. Konen-
kamp of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union said his organization, in con-
junction, with the Railroad Telegraph
ers' Union, had served notice on the
two companies to return reply to their
demand by Saturday noon. The rail-
road telegraphers, it appears, do large
amount of commercial work in addition
to their regular duties, and they might
strike as against the companies, but
not as against the railroads.
The unions have cleared themselves
from any formal blame for a wartime
strike by offering to accept the media
tion of the War Labor Board. But as
this board was pledged in advance to
recognize the right of unionization in
any dispute that might appear before
1t, this action was tantamount to call
ing on the government to take their
side as against the employers.
The we'll informed delegates here
scarcely try to conceal the fact that the
whole course of action was drawn up
several months ago and has proceeded
according to schedule. The telepranh-
ers' union deliberately planned to chal-
lenge the traditional anti-union policy

ing IN advance that the COMPANIES
