PRESIDENT IS QUOTED
Extracts From War Message Are
Employed by Women In Their
Fight Instead of Declarations
Considered Treasonable.
WASHINGTON. June 22. The police
today began dealing with the suffrage
pickets about the White House with a
firm hand. It was ordered that no ban
ners were to be permitted to be dis
played, and 20 policemen were stationed
' about the White House . fence to en
force the .order.
Miss Lucy Burns, of New York, and
Miss Catherine Morey, of Boston, car
riers of a banner, who refused to move
from in front of one of the White
House gates, were arrested and taken
- to police headquarters.
Blockins Traffic la Cnarared.
At police headquarters the two ban
ner bearers were Informed that they
had been arrested for blocking traffic
, and unlawful assemblage. They were
released on their own recognizance and
no date was set for trial.
It developed that the suffragists took
their banners out again today under
advice of counsel, but that they had
sprung a surprise on the police. In
stead of banners bearing inscriptions,
characterized as "treasonable" and of
fensive, they bore banners inscribed
with phrases from some of President
Wilson's addresses.
President's Mmmkc Quoted.
The banner which led to the arrests
today carried this sentence from the
President's war message:
"We will fight for the things we
have always held nearest our hearts
for democracy, for the right of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice in their own government.''
Leaders at suffrage headquarters
were undecided after the arrest of Miss
Burns and Miss Morey whether an
other effort would be made to display
a banner. Some were inclined to favor
waiting the outcome of the trial of the
two women, but others took an oppo
site view, and a. new banner to say to
the Russian mission that President
Wilson is deceiving Russia by calling
America a democracy was prepared in
case it was decided to resume the offensive.

Surgeons From Civil Life Take
Charge With Corps of Trained
Nurses, Who Will Be Helped
Later by Volunteers.
(By the Auoclated Press.)
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 22. American doctors.
nurses and enlisted men within the
last fortnight nave taken over six of
the British great . general field hos
pitals, relieving, the English staff for
duty near their front. American sur
geons- also rendered valuable aid ; In
the forward casualty clearing stations
during the battle of Messines.
The Stars and Stripes fly with the
British Union Jack from each hospital
flagstaff, the two ensigns fluttering
side by side in the cool breezes that
sweep in from the sea.
The British selected their hospital
sites with the greatest care, and have
developed them with a completeness
that has come from nearly three years
of field experience.
Baae Hospitals Enlarged.
Some of the general hospitals are
made up of tented wards accommodat
ing 40 to 60 beds each. Others are
constructed, of a series of huts. The
operating theaters are splendidly built
and seem to lack nothing in the way
of surgical equipment.
Originally planned for 1040 beds
each, the general hospitals have been
practically all enlarged to 1400 beds,
and during a crisis can accommodate
2000 patients. The units which have
taken over the various hospitals were
organized by the American Red Cross
as "United States base hospitals," and
with the declaration of war these staffs
were turned over to the regular army
for service as required. ' :
- Surgeons Have Major's Rank.
Each unit has brought along an or
ganizing director who was a surgeon
in civil practice, but now takes com
mand as a Major in the United States
reserve. The commanding officer In
each unit is a regular American Army
surgeon, while the subordinate mem
bers of the staffs are made up of reg
ular Army surgeons and doctors com
missioned from civil life.
The nurses are all graduates of well?
known training schools, and will prob
ably be supplemented soon by -voluntary
aid detachments of young
women workers such as are now' at
tached to the various British staffs.
The non-commissioned orderlies and
privates were practically all taken
from civil life, but, in keeping with
the doctors and nurses, have settled
into their new work with marked ef
ficiency and enthusiasm.

Quotations on New York Stoclc Ex
change Represent Lowest
Levels In Years.
NEW YORK, June- 22. During the
first bond call on the Stock Exchange
today further sharp declines were re
corded in the bid prices of old United
States Governmen' issues.
The registered and coupon 3s of 1946
were 82 bid, off 3 points, and the regis
tered and coupon 4s of 1925 were $104
-bid, a decline of a point. These quo
tations represent the lowest levels in
years. No actual transactions were
made at the prices given.
The previous issues of the United
States Government have shown heavy
tendencies ever since the Inception of
the liberty loan. In banking circles it
is believed that the depreciation is
mainly due to sales of the old bonds
against purchases of the liberty Issue.

BUTTE. Mont., June 22. The number
of men working in the Butte mines
showed a slight increase today, de
spite the fact that the recently organ
ized Metal Mine Workers" Union and
the Electricians Union had declared
strikes against them. The mines are
working the day shift only and the in
crease in the number of workers, ac
cording to figures announced by the
mining companies, was about 150.
- The miners have demanded an in
crease of 11.25 in the dally wage, or $6
a day, and a change in working condi
tions, one of which is the abolition of
the "Rustling card" which every miner
must have before he can seek a job.
To obtain a card the applicant must
give his age, nationality and where
last employed. - The electricians in ad
dition to declaring a strike on the
mining companies, have also demanded
higher wages from the Montana Power
Company.
Four trades unions of Butte, the
blacksmiths, barbers, electricians and
the workmen, have Indorsed the
miners' strike. The miners have asked
the other trades union's to indorse them,

Destroyers Keep Everlastingly After
Submarines and Save Victims of
Torpedoes Officers and
Men v Congenial.
BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
BRITISH WATERS, June 22. (By the
Associated Press.) Two American pool
tables, the first ever seen in this pic
turesque old village, arrived today.
They are the latest addition to the
clubhouse which is being built with
funds provided by American . business
men for the crews of the American de
stroyers. The clubhouse will be formally opened
Saturday night. The programme has
been printed by the destroyers' print
ers, and announces songs, dances, reci
tations and wrestling matches by "the
most marvelous aggregation from God's
country that ever set foot in anybody's
else country."
A moving picture machine from one
of the ships has been installed, and the
orchestra of the destroyer fleet is busy
practicing for its share in the enter
tainment. Another feature will be a
minstrel show by a troupe of come
dians who were formerly on the battle
ship Nebraska.
VIkU Is Continuous.
The old American doctrine of keep
ing everlastingly at it perhaps has
never been better illustrated than here,
the port from which the American tars
are working day and night against the
German submarine menace. This was
the impression obtained by the corre
spondent, who today made an inspec
tion of torpedo-boat destroyers that
happened to be in the sheltered waters.
A majority of the American boats
were out sweeping the seas for the
elusive periscopes, picking up crews
of ships that have been torpedoed or
convoying merchantmen safely through
the U-boat Infested areas. Those in
port had Just returned for a brief
respite.
The commander of one destroyer in
spected expressed his good fortune to
be able to bring back crews of two tor
pedoed merchantmen. She had been
out five days.
The destroyer carried 4-lnch guns.
which are the type mostly on destroy
ers. A gunner explained all about on

60-Pound Shells Used.
Ten feet behind the guns were cases
of shells, each shell weighing 60
pounds, when firing upon a submarine.
the shells are passed by hand to the
gunne s no small task when the sea
is rolling. The man at the gun Is
equipped with a headgear like that
worn by telephone girls, through
which he receives sighting directions I
from the officer on the bridge and
through speaking tubes. On different
parts of the gun decks were three in
nocent lookinar canvas-covered boxes.
each containing six loaded rifles, 18
In all.
"They are for unwelcome boarding
parties," said the commander, "and
crews are assigned to them."
Then there were numerous torpedo
tubes, which are always loaded.
It is not violating the rules of censor
ship to say that this craft Is of the
1000-ton class and carries a crew of
95, who are like a great happy family.
The officer said there was surprising
ly little homesickness among the
youngsters. There is no mistaking the
good relations which exist between
officers and men.
Men's SuKKeatloaa Invited.
"We invite questions and suggestions
from our men," said one of the offi-
oera. "We want them to feel that no
one is ever too old to learn."
The men are always eager to greet
visitors and the correspondent gave
them the first news of the success of
the military registration In America
and the over-subscription of the liberty
loan. The personal touches of the
cordial greetings extended ' to Major-
General Pershing and his pioneer force
on Uieir way through England were
also appreciated.
In these days of censorsnip it was
rather a surprise to learn that the
men receive their mail uncensored
from the folks back home. It arrives
about every ten days. It is not the
same with their mail to America, which
is censorsed. not only by their own
censor aboard each ship, but also by
the British censor ashore. But so far
as could be learned, there was no com
plaint and this system is working ex
ceedingly satisfactorily.
When' submarine crews are rescued
the sailors willingly give up , their
"comfy" berths.
The food also is plentiful and of good
quality, most of it coming from the
United States.

to bear by Germans and pro-Germans to

the severance of relations between
Mexico and Germany.
The l-scusslon of the campaign has
brought a renewal of charges that pro
German papers are being directly aided
in their campaign, agcan: t the United
States by free print paper supplied by
firms in the United States. It Is known
that 400 rolls of paper .were shipped
by the steamer Monerey from a New
lork firm to Vera Cruz in Aprils It is
charged that La Opinion, of Vera Crus,
was offered part of this shipment free
if it would tace a pro-German stand.
The paper refused and the shipment
reached Mexico City.
Other papers here have repeatedly
charged that the 400 rolls were given
free to pro-German papers in the capi
tal. Telegraphio news, written with the
obvious purpose of misrepresenting the
United States, comes from New York
and apparently has no difficulty in pass
