Petrograd, March 29, via London, 10:50 a. m.—A declaration in support of the war has been issued by a com- mittee of workingmen, soldiers and deputies and apparently represents the sober conclusion which the masses of the population have reached after being swayed this. way and that by the turbulent currents and cross-cur- rents which swept through the coun- try in the first days of the revolution. This conclusion is that Iliberty and victory over the Germans are insep- arable and that the responsibility for plunging Europe into war rests on the Hohenzollern family and Prussian imperialistic ambition, The tendency is to regard the war no longer as a struggle between na- tions but between the new spirit of democracy and the old spirit of im- perialism. The people are eagerly de- sirous of peace but are ready to de- vote redoubled energy to war if that is the only way of achieving it. NO WARNING GIVEN Two American Negroes on Board British Bark Sunk by Submarine But Both Escape Injury. ‘Washington, March 29.—The Brit- ish bark Neath from Mauretius for Havre with sugar, was torpedoed without wafning at 8:45 a. m.

LITTLE IMMGRANTS LOST. Landed in Boston and Were Coming to This City. Chief of Police William J. Rawlings bas been asked to aid in the search to locate Maria Caccamo, aged nine- teen, and her sister, Guiseppa Cac- camo, aged sixteen, who arrived in Boston yesterday from Italy and were expected to arrive in this city on the 9 o’clock train last - night. Their brother, Francesco Caccamo of 83 Arch street, expected them and was greatly disappointed at their non-ar- rival. Especially so because others who arrived on the same ship reached this city safely. As far as can be learned, Maria and Guiseppa were with the others until a start was made for the train, becoming separated in south station. It is believed that they got on the wrong train and, because of inability to speak English, are being detained somewhere. Chief Rawlings tele- graphed to the federal authorities in Boston this afternoon in an attempt to locate the girls. VERNALE-GIAFALO TRIAD OPENS The jury trial of Tony Vernale va.

Later, State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn en- tered a nolle. i BELGIAN COMMISSION DENOUNCED AS SPIES Tages Zeitung Says They Conveyed Military Information to Brit- ish War Office. Copenhagen, via London, March 29. —There has been a noticeable ab- sence of comment in the German pa- pers of the last few days on the news of American war preparations. The newspapers have printed various de- spatches, some from New York and Qthers from the Anglo-French press, | but generally without comment. .The | tone of the headlines alone indicates the increasing certainty that war is inevitable. The news of the recall of the American representatives on the Bel- gian rellef commission, has however, stirred the editorial writers into breaking their silence. The Tages Zeitung attacks the American com- missioners sharply declaring that they were steadily working in English in- terests and furnished a regular chan.- mel for the transmission of military rews between them. It also reports to American criticism of the interrup- tion of Brand Whitlock’s communi- cations by referring to the alleged testrictions, placed on Count Von Eernstorff’s use of the wireless by the American government. An inspired explanation which ap- pears in the German papers in regard to the sinking of relief ships is that they entered the prohibited zone where safe conducts are invalid. RAPS AT KAISER Berlin Vorwaerts Declares Reforms Must Come in Germany Before End of War—Russian Revolt Helps. Copenhagen, via London, March 29. —Demand for the immediate intro- Cuction of internal reforms in Ger- many, particularly in Prussia, which the socialist and radical parties have, | been advocating for months, has re- ceived a strong impetus from the Russian revolution. The press organs of these parties, H notably the Berlin Vorwaerts, declare | that Russia’s revolution to democracy leaves Germany and Austria-Hun- gary alone among the belligerents as representatives of non-parliamentary regimes and necessitates German re- forms without waiting for the end of the war, as Chancellor Von Beth- mann-Hollweg advocates. NAYY DEPT. RUSHING Authorizes Construction of New Way for Capital Ships at New York Yard —More Submarine Chasers. ‘Washington, March 29.—Construc- tion of an additional building way for capital ships in the New York navy yard has been authorized by the navy department.
