In the Austro-Italian theatre the fighting is being_done entirely by the artillery wings of the opposing armies. There has been no attempt at a re- sumption by the Ttalians of their great offensive on the Carso front, but from the fact that reconnoitering parties are being sent out to survey the new positions of the Austrians, another great battle probably is not far dis- tant. In Macedonia, especialy along the Vardar river sector, artillery duels are in progress. ROOSEVELT ADDRESSED RAILROAD BROTHERHOODS At Their Annual Memorial Servi Philadelphia Yesterday.

HEARD WIRELESS SIGNALS OF DISTRESS FROM SOUTHLAND. A British Steamer Which Has Ar- rived at an Atlantic Port. An Atlantic Port, June 10.—A British steamship which sailed from an Eng- lish port with the ill-fated Southland, which was sunk by a submarine, ar- rived here today with 80 passengers. This vessel and the Southland left por almost side by side, but were turned | back by a warship with the warning| that submarines were lying in wait for them. Some time later they were or- dered to proceed and again sailed to- gether. The steamship which arrived today ‘was much faster than the Southiand and soon left her astern as she steam- ed at full epeed through the danger zone. Wireless signals of distress from the Southland were heard when she was attacked, but the ship was unable to go to the rescue because of the rigid orders of the British admirakty against such a procedure by a mer- chant vessel. The- officers expressed deep regret that they were unable to aid the Southland. BRITISH CASUALTIES IN BATTLE OF MESSINES RIDGE. Just About 10,000 Men Failed to Re- spond to Roll Call.

London, June 10, 4.28 p. m.—Mem- bers of the National Seamen's and Firemen's_Union today have taken prisoner Frederick W. Jowett, presi- dent of the Independent Labor Party, and James Ramsey MacDoriald, chai man of the Labor party, both mem- bers of parliament, who were about to salil for (Petrograd. An enthusiastic demonstration was held this afternoon in Trafalgar Square opened by the reading of the following telegram ifrom _Captain Tupper of the Seamen’s and Fitemen's Union: “I have MacDonald and Jowett pris oners. The crew refuses to sail with them.” Mr. Jowett and Mr. MacDonald were appointed by the independent labor party, the pacifist socialists’ element, to g0 to Petrograd to confer with Russian socialists. The seamen’s and firemen’s union adopted a resolution last week that none of its members would be permitted to man any vessel conveying pacifists to Petrograd or to_Stockhoim. The Trafalgar square demonstration brought together great crowds. Joseph Havelock Wilson, president of the Na- tional Seamen's union, in the course of a speech, said: “This is no new question. 1 wrote 18 months ago a protest to the council of the German transport federation egainst submarine barbarities and vrarned the council that uniess it pro- tested against the U-boat warfare my union would refuse to participate after the war in any conference including Gertnans. The answer I received was that my proposal was laughod to scorn and that the U-boats were perfectly Justified in acting as they did.” Tf MacDonald wants to go to Petro- grad, sald the seamen's president, let him produce his credentials to repre- sent British labor. PRESIDENT WILSCN'S NOTE PUBLISHED IN PETROGRAD. Favorable Editorial Comment by the Novoe Vremya. Petrograd, June 19, via London, June 11.—President 'Wilson's note toc Russia dealing with the aims of the United States in the war is published today by all the morning papers. The Novoe Vremya, however, is the only journal which comments editorially on it. “Its aim,” says the Novoe Vremya, “is to meet the artfulness with which Germany has sought to _ensnare Rus- sian public opinion. The American president realizes the sources of the desperate agitation which has been made in Russia and other countries under the banner of ocial democracy and false pacifiism. A copy of the note must be given to every soldier, work- man and peasant. “It must open the eves of evervone whose brain is not warped by the stu- pid and criminal stories that the war was started by capialists for their own benedt. The Russian democracy will be able to see tha difference batween the straightforward words of the dew mocracy and the cruelties by which the servants of the German empire are trying to deceive the world.” CAUSE OF HIGH PRICE OF BITUMINOUS COAL. Decreased Production Through Short- | age of Railway Cars. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 10.—Decreased production, through a continued shert- age of railway cars, was today given by the Pittsburgh Coal Producers’ as- sociation as the primary cause of the revailing high prices for bituminous coal, and an appeal was gent to Fair- fax Harrison, chairman of the special railway committee on national defense, for the help the association declares it must have before rates can be reduced. ‘The letter pointed out that mines represented in the association have an annual production of 50,000,000 tons, but that 1,500,000 tons are being lost every month because the railroads do not provide the cars.
