They are the first of the American fighting force to reach the scene of hostilities. With the new British dash, under General Haig. many prisoners were captured.

Figures Made Public Based on Subscriptions Forwarded to Reserve Banks. Washington. Totals of subscrip tions to the liberty loan aggregating $1,300,000,000, as announced June S by Secretary McAdoo, have been made public by the treasury department, showing that not one of the twelve federal reserve districts have sub scribed to its minimum allotments al though New York, with the most fav orable showing, has nearly reached the minimum. In some instances, the amount of subscriptions from federal reserve districts has fallen to less than one third of the allotments. The figures made public are based upon actual subscriptions forwarded to the reserve banks. They follow: New York Subscriptions 588,000, 000; allotment $600,000,000 to $750, 000,000. Boston Subscriptions $135,000,000 ; allotment $240,000,000 to $300,000,000. Philadelphia Subscriptions $61,000, 000; allotment $140,000,000 to $175, 000,000.

Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia, having all told slightly more than fifty per cent of the country's population, had sent in complete reports of their military registration showing total registration of 4,716,68 young men for war ser vice. For the territory reporting, the cen sus estimate was 5,372,596 eligibles. On the basis of the returns, it was calculated that the grand total of reg istration probably would be close to 9,000,000, in place of 10,264,000, as forecast by the census experts. The reports showed white registra tions totalling 3,501.456, colored 634, 170, alien 277,057, and enemy alien 45,oi8. Possible exemptions indicated totalled 2,508,624. Officials pointed out that the census figures were intended only as approx imates, and that the discrepancy should not be taken as indicating eva sion of the draft. It also was pointed out that between 500,000 and 1,000,000 men Included in the estimate already are members of the armed forces of the nation, and therefore did not reg ister. Many of the states which previously reported complete returns are send ing supplemental reports adding to thedr totals. Delay in registering, espe cially among those who registered by mail, is responsible. This shifting of totals may delay a final tabulation for Tveek or more. RAILROAD MEN HEAR ADDRESS BY ROOSEVELT Philadelphia. Pledges of loyalty to the nation were renewed by officials of the railroad brotherhoods in ad dresses at their annual memorial ser vices here at which Theodore Roose velt was the chief speaker. Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, the Order of Railway Conduc tors, Brotherhood of Locomtive Fire men and Enginemen, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Telegraphers from all sec tions of the east attended services. TWENTY-EIGHT FNTOMBED MINERS RESCUED ALIVE Butte, Mont. Twenty-eight men en tombed in the Speculator mine since the fire three days ago have been brought to the surface alive. Of the twenty-eight rescued men, one was so far gone that resuscitation was im possible. The finding of the men alive stimulated efforts of -the rescue teams, and there is strong hope that others may be found alive. News that men were found alive on the 4,200-foo level spread like wildfire, WILSON'S MESSAGE TO RUSSIA The President's communication was delivered to the Russian Government by Ambassador Francis at Petrograd. In full it is as follows: "In view of the approaching visit of the American delegation to Russia to express the deep friendship of the American people for the people of Russia and to discuss the best and most practical means of co-operation between the two peoples in carrying the present struggle for the freedom of all peoples to a successful consum mation, it seems opportune and appro priate that I should state again, in the light of this new partnership, the ob jects the United States has had in mind in entering the war. Those ob jects have been very much beclouded during the past few weeks by mis takes and misleading statements, and the issues at stake are too moment ous, too tremendous, too significant for the whole human race to permit any misinterpretations of misunder standings, however slight, to remain uncorrected for a moment. "The war has begun to go against Germany, and in their desperate de sire to escape the inevitable ultimate defeat, those who are in authority in Germany are using every possible in strumentality, are making use even of the influence of groups and parties among their own subjects to whom they have never been just or fair or even tolerant to promote a propaganda on both sides of the sea which will preserve for them their influence at home and their power abroad to the undoing of the very men they are using. "The position of America in this war is so clearly avowed that no man can be excused for mistaking it. She seeks no material profit or aggran dizement of any kind. She is fight ing for no advantage or selfish object of her own, but for the liberation of peoples everywhere from the aggres sions of autocratic force. The ruling classes in Germany have begun of late to profess a like liberality and justice of purpose, but only to preserve the power they have set up in Germany and the selfish advantages which they have wrongly gained for themselves and their private objects of power all the way from Berlin to Babdad and beyond. Government after Govern ment has by their influence, without open conquest of its territory, been linked together in a net of intrigue directed against nothing less than the peace and liberty of the world. The meshes of that intrigue must be broken, but cannot be broken unless wrongs already done are undone; and adequate measures must be taken to prevent it from ever again being re woven or repaired. "Of course, the Imperial German Government and those whom it is us ing for their own undoing are seeking to obtain pledges that the war will end in the restoration of the status quo ante. It was the status quo ante out of which this iniquitious war is sued forth, the power of the Imperial German Government within the Em pire and its widespread domination and influence outside of that Empire. That status must be altered in such fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from ever happening again. "We are fighting for the liberty, for the self-government and the undic tated deevlopment of all peoples, and every feature of the settlement that concludes this war must be conceived and executed for that purpose. Wrongs must first be righted and then adequate safeguards much be created to prevent their being committed again. We ought not to consider reemdies merely because they have a pleasing and sonorous sound. Prac tical questions can be settled only by practical means. Phrases will not ac complish the result. Effective read justments will and whatever readjust ments are necessary must be made. "But they must follow a principle and that principle is plain. No people must be forced under sovereignty un der which it does not wish to live. No territory must change hands except for the purpose of securing those who inhabit it a fair chance of life and liberty. No indemnities must be in sisted on exapt those that constitute payment for manifest wrongs done. No readjustments of power must be made except such as will tend to se cure the future peace of the world and the future welfare and happiness of its peoples. "And then the free people of the world must draw together in some common covenant, some genuine and practical co-operation that will in ef fect combine their force to secure peace and justice in the dealings of nations with one another. The broth erhood of mankind must no longer be a fair but empty phrase; it must be given a structure of force and reality. The nations must realize their com mon life and effect a workable part nership to secure that life against the aggressions of autocratic and self pleasing power. For these things we can afford to pour out blood and treasure. For these are the things we have always professed to desire, and unless we pour out blood and treasure now and succeed, we may never be able to unite or show con quering force again in the great cause of human liberty. The day has come to conquer or submit. If the forces of autocracy can divide us, they will overcome us; if we stand together, victory is certain and the liberty which victory will secure. We can afford then to be generous, but we cannot afford then or now to be weak or omit any single guarantee of justice and security." PERSHING AND STAFF ARRIVE JNJUROPE AMERICAN COMMANDER ON HIS WAY TO FRONT IN FRANCE. RECEIVE HONORS IN LONDON Voyage Across Atlantic Was Entirely Uneventful. Not Generally Known That Party Had Left American Shores. London. Headed by Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, its commander, the first representatives of the American army that is to enter the European war, dis embarked at a British port after an uneventful voyage of ten days on board the White Star liner Baltic. The party was received with full mili tary honors, and immediately entrain ed for London where it arrived in the afternoon and was welcomed by the Earl of Derby, the minister of war; Viscount French, commander of the British home forces and the American officials. General Pershing's personal staff and the members of the general staff who will perform the preliminary work for the first fighting force, num ber fifty-seven officers, and are accom panied by about fifty privates and a large civilian clerical force. The American residents of London and various British organizations have prepared an extensive program of en tertainment for the American party, but it is doubtful if much of it will be carried out, as General Pershing, be fore being informed of the plans, ex pressed a desire that there be a mini mum of anything in the nature of a celebration of a social character. The entire contingent devoted itself to the hardest kind of worlr of an organizing nature throughout the journey. SAN SALVADOR DESTROYED BY VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE. Casualty List Not Very Heavy. Quake Followed by Flow of Lava. San Juan del Sar, Nicaragua. San Salvador, Sa'ntecla and neighboring towns and villages were destroyed in an earthquake which commenced at seven o'clock in the evening and con tinued through the night, according to information received here from the president of Nicaragua. The president's message says: "Telegraphic communication is just re-established with San Salvador and confirms that earthquake commenced at seven o'clock yesterday afternoon (Thursday) and continued all night, accompanied by a heavy rain. "San Salvador, Santecla and neigh boring towns and villages were de stroyed. "The casualties were small." There were some fires. The president of Nicaragua has tele graphed the president of Salvador of fering aid. He has ordered the or ganization of relief committees to send help to the suffering and the home less. A report received from San Miguel says San Salvador was destroyed, only one hundred houses left standing. Strong earthquakes, the report says, were followed later by lava and boil ing water. RUSSIAN WOMEN TO FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES. Petrograd, via London. Two hun dred school students of the Petrograd Technical school have entered their names on the rolls of a female regi ment which is being raised by Ensign Butchkareff. The aim is to immediat ly start for the front and to fight In all respects under the same conditions as men. Scores of girls and women, anxious to fight, appeared at the offices of the League of Equal Rights for Women, which has expressed its approval of Lieutenant Butchkareff's plan. The women warriors have held their first meeting. They were addressed by Colonel Popoff, of the Twelfth army, who appealed to the women to shame male shirkers. BRITISH PREPARING FOR FURTHER PROBABLE ACTION. With the Messinies-Wytschaete ridge in their possession, the British organ ized the new ground and prepared for probable further action, while throwing back German counter-attacks. Surprised by the terrific on slaught of Sir Douglas Haig's men the Germans, who lost more than 6,400 prisoners and many, more killed or wounded as a result of the mine ex plosions and the British artillery fire, made no immediate counter-attacks. VETERANS ATTEND THE UNVEILING OF LEE STATUE. Gettysburg, Pa. Confederate veter ans from all parts of the south came here from Washington -to attend the unveiling of Virginia's monument on the Gettysbug battlefield. On the spot where Pickett's division formed fifty-four years ago for its famous charge in the third day's battle that marked the high tide o the Confed eracy, an equestrian statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee was formally presented to the nab" on. COMMENCEMENT AT CHAPEL JILL ENDS SECRETARIES DANIELS AND BAK- ER DELIVER ADDRESSES AT UNIVERSITY. WAR'S END IS LONG WAY OFF Baker Prays That No American Sol dier May Ever Take Life of Women or Children. Daniels Delivers Dip lomas. Chapel Hill. "The successful and orderly registration of over ten million men for war service was a complete answer to the charge that an imperial policy is necessary for efficiency," de clared Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in delivering the commence ment address before the University of North Carolina. After referring to the crime against Belgium and "that crowning infamy of modern times, the sinking -of the Lusitania," Secretary Baker said, "it is needful to examine another thing the moral quality of the civilization that brought such to pass." He condemned the German philosophy of the state, which places itself above the welfare of individuals. The contest in Europe is probably just beginning, Secretary Baker thinks. "The end is a long way off. The energies and courage of 110 mil lions people must now be diverted from the fundamentals and the organ ized for war. We must make war as our adversaries make it, but God for bid that an American soldier should ever take the life, even by accident, of a woman or child." The secretary declared that the con fidence of Christendom was shocked when this war was started, and Ger many invaded the rights of Belgium. "If that was only a scrap of paper, what kind of immunity can any nation have? or can there be any peace?" Ameriea has prepared herself to respond to take her place in this great struggle, Secretary Baker stated. Two features of the preparation he empha sized, the singular absence of frivolity about it all, and the entrance of America into the war without the hope of territorial gain. "No selfish ness taints our motives." In closing he said, "Don't let the lamp of learning go out. Some will stay here because it isn't their turn to go. There is work for all to do if we are to rehabilitate the civilization of the world." In introducing Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels, President Graham said that the "secretary of the navy came to life of national service after devotion and loyalty to his own state and people. His influence now touches the shores of every sea. After four years of the severest tests, not one can detect a single act in which he has greatly erred. The great heart of the whole people is now with him" Secretary Daniels stated that he had come to pilot the secretary of war. He parised highly the work of Secre tary Baker. Secretary Daniels showed how it had been the time-honored policy of the United States to live at peace and avoid war, until the re sources of diplomacy had been tried. The great success of registration day was commented on, and the order ly way in which the young men of the nation performed their duties. "I believe," he said, "that the Am erican valor is equal to the American emergency. Before this war is over, American genius will find a way to make the submarine impossible in its execution." The students were urge dto stand fast by their traditions but also to be aggressive and make new traditions. Secretary Daniels, delivered the diplomas. Red Cross at Rocky Mount. Rocky Mount. The charter for the Rocky Mount Red Cross Chapter has been received, and a meeting of all men and women of the city who wish to become members of the chapter is called for Monday afternoon. Officers will be elected and the work of the chapter outlined. The chapter is for Nash county as well as Rocky Mount. Mill Men at Asheville. ABheville. Members of the North Carolina and South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' association met in joint session at the Battery Park hotel and listened to an address by Miss Grace Abbott of the U. S. department of labor on the working of the Keating-Owen child labor bill. The first meeting of the North Carolina associa tion was held at Grove Park Inn. The special feature of the meeting was a patriotic address by Lieut. Gov. O. Max Gardner, who was applauded and referred to as "the next governor." Demonstrator For Duplin. Wallace.
