RECISTRANTS MUST PREPARE

The local board has mailed the order of induction to all those who come within the draft call, and it is urged that all registrants keep in close touch with the post office in their vicinity in order that they may receive the notice which ad- vises them on which day to report to the local board office. 1t is gen. orally known that the day set for all registrants to report is Thursday, June 27, and on that day all those coming within draft numbers must be on hand at the office of the To- cal board.

ment, said President Gompers, the successful prosecution of the war against Prussian militarism cannot be carried out.
 Addressing the convention, MT Gompers said: "Autocracy, militar ism and irresponsible diplomacy such as is practiced by the imperial government of Germany must perish Democracy, justice, freedom and a perfect confidence between the diff ferent governments and their people must live. It is toward this end that the present war against the central powers is being waged. The workers in the various plants in the United States engaged in the pro duction of war materials are prac tically part of the fighting force of America. These workers must realize they are such and bend ev, cry effort in an earnest endeavor to render all aid possible to the gov ernment."

BOAT
 SAVES VICTIMS

WASHINGTON, D. C., June To- The passengers and crew of the cannery bark Tacoma, belonging to the Alaska Packers association, were rescued by the fisheries ship Roose- welt.
 The Tacoma was wrecked off Ugashik river in Bristol bay on May 10 by collision with large ice berg. It is reported that no lives were lost, as those on board had time to launch the small boats. The Roosevelt besides rescuing those from the Tacoma also lowed into port four other barks that had been more or less damaged by the ice.
 During the first part of May the cannery companies suffered heavy losses through the action of the Boring sea ice. Several vessels were caught and showed ashore by the moving ice. It is thought that an effort will be made by the packing company to salvage the Tacoma ow- ing to the extreme scarcity of yes sels on the Pacific coast.

ENEMY CRAFTS
 HAVE NOT LEFT
 EASTERN COAST

NEW YORK, June 1O,--That the German submarines along the At lantic coast have not entirely ceased their activities is evidenced by the fact that Norwegian steamer ar rived in this port today with the survivors of torpedoed American steamer. The Norwegian boat brought into this port the captain and 16 members of the crew of the Ameri- can vessel Pinar Del Rio, which had been submarined Saturday morning while 70 miles off the Maryland coast.
 The Norwegian vessel found the crew afloat in lifeboats and immedi- ately took them on board. No lives were lost in the sinking of the ship. The survivors of the torpedoed steamer report that they witnessed the sinking of schooner soon after their vessel had been torpedoed. The crew of the Pinar Del Rio had taken to their lifeboats when the subma- rine came in sight. The submarine immediately turned it's attention to- ward the destruction of the new ar rival. The exact fate of those on the schooner is not known. although it is thought that they were able to launch the lifeboats.
 SUPPLY SHIP ACCOMPANYING NORFOLK. Va, June 10.-The survivors of the American steamer Pinar Del Rio. which was torpedoed by an enemy submarine off the coast of Maryland last Saturday, assert that the U-boat was accompanied by a supply ship, The survivors are able to give a fairly accurate de- scription of the mother ship. They have no doubt that the vessel was for the express purpose of carrying supplies for the submarine. They describe the boat as being of about 6,OO0 tons and painted gray. The ship had only one funnel and this placed amidships. This description of the mother ship has been sent to all naval patrol boats and scouts in order that they may be on the look out for any suspicious craft of this description.

WOULD HAVE NO
 LIQUOR DURING
 LENGTH OF WAR

WASHINGTON. D. C., June l0.- Senator Jones of Washington pre- scented in the United States senate today a proposal for the complete abolishment of liquor throughout the United States during the length of the war. This proposal was pre- scented as an amendment 10 be added to the agricultural production bill. This bill provides for an appropri ation of $11,OOO,0OO to be used for the benefit and aid of the farmers and agriculturists throughout the country. The prohibition forces won their first skirmish in the house on May 23 when the lower body adopt Cd an amendment refusing to pass any of the appropriation unless a proclamation was made by President Wilson forbidding the use of food stuffs in the manufacture of intoxi- cants.
 The supporters of prohibition are making an earnest endeavor in the senate to have the proposal of Sen ator Jones accepted by the body. This amendment, if adopted, would not allow the sale of intoxicants nor their manufacture in any part of the United States during the time of the present conflict The sup porters of the proposal are very opti- mistic regarding its adoption.

CREW IS KEPT
 ON SUBMARINE
 FOR OVER WEEK

BOSTON, June 10.--According to a letter just received from John Sweeney, captain of the schooner Hauppage. the crew of the torpe doed vessel was captured and kept on board German submarine for eight days. The letter states that a German submarine raider cruised American waters from the Delaware capes to the Nantucket lightship be. tween May 25 and June 2.
 This raider followed regular course and kept very close lookout for any American vessels. The ma. jority of the time the U-boat was submerged and used the periscope to locate the vessels. The realiza. tion that there were large number of submarine destroyers and patrol boats securing the seas made those in command of the enemy boat take every. precaution against being dis covered.
 After the schooner Hauppage had been torpedoed, the crew of the ves- sel put off in lifeboats. They were then picked up by the submarine and taken on board. These men were kept in close confinement on the enemy craft for 8 days, and during that time the treatment re. ceived by them was none too good.

APPROPRIATION APPROVED WILL
 BE SUFFICIENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.- An appropriation of $5,25O,OOO has been approved by the house appro- priations committee for the continua- road. It is not the intention of the administration to delay this work for one day. This is reduc- tion of $205O,OOO in the appropria- tion that was requested for work on the railway.
 The original amount asked was $7,300,000, but the committee would not approve of the entire sum. The tion of $2,050,000 in the appropria- ation would be sufficient to continue work uninterruptedly as long as the appropriation is available.
 A recommendation was made Sat. urday by the subcommittee of the house appropriations committee that sufficient funds be granted the use of the Alaskan Engineering commis. sion for the retention of the 5000 men being employed on the rail. road. It was stated at that time that the sum that was recommended would be large enough to carry the road we'll toward Fairbanks. It was not given out then just what the exact amount would be.
 This approval by the committee virtually assures that the work will not be slackened in any way. A statement made by Commissioner Edes few days ago was to the effect that this appropriation would be passed within two weeks and was being delayed only by the immense amouit of war work that is before congress. At that time he stated that fuel coal may be hauled into Fairbanks by next winter. The ap propriation committee is greatly in favor of pushing ahead the work on the railroad. and 1t is thought that the reduction in the amount was made only because of the fac, that the war is exacting such a heavy drain on the United States treasury.

AMERICA WILL
 HAVE LARGEST
 NUMBER SHIPS

SOUTH BEND, Ind, June 10.- That the greatest commerce fleet in the history of the world will fly the American Flag is the statement made today by Edward N Hurley, chairman of the federal shipping board. This forecast IS made by the chairman to be effective in 1920 and is based upon the present output of the shipbuilding plants. At the beginning of the war American ship ping was practically nil. Even upon the entrance of the United States into the conflict but one ship en- gagged in transatlantic trade flew the Stars and Stripes.
 Mr. Hurley said, in part: By the year 1920 America will have a mer- chant marine of twenty-five million tons. This will be the greatest commerce fleet ever assembled in the history of the world. It will link North America with Central and South America by weekly steam. CT service and enable the Latin.

OVER 75o,OOO
 MEN IN FRANCE
 ASSERTS BAKER

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1O.-- A statement made today by Secre- tary of War Newton D. Baker as. serts that over three-quarters of a million men have beens sent across to France. This number is a 50 per cent increase over the number given in an official statement by the sec retary a few weeks ago. At that time he stated that the United States had over half a million men on French soil.
 It is known that troops have been going in a steady stream to France during the past few weeks. There has been no delay in the transpor- tation of these fighting men to the western front. In his statement to- day Secretary Baker did not give the exact number of American troops in France, but said that they were well over 750,O0O. This mum. Der is being steadily increased, and
  it is expected that it will be but a short time until the United States has a force of 100000 men in ac, tion against the Huns.
 Including the registrants that are to report during this month, the United States will have under arms force of more than two million men. The training at the various cantonments in the country is pro. gressing rapidly and efficiently. The recent raids along the Atlantic coast by the enemy submarines caused no delay in the transporta tion of men and material to France.
