WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The German army that success
fully besieged Antwerp has swept
VIGOROUSLY westward along the
Belgian coast until now, with its
right resting on Ostend, it forms
the extreme right of the German
line stretching from the North
sea to the Swiss frontier.
A correspondent at Flushing,
Netherlands, reports that the
greater part of the German army
after the occupation of ostend
left for the east.
A great battle to determine
whether the advancing German
hosts will be stopped in western
Belgium Or push on into France,
Selling Dunkirk and Calais on
the Strait of Dover, must come
soon and quite possibly is being
fought today.
The French official statement
this afternoon says that the Ger
man troops occupying western
Belgium have not crossed the line
running south from Ostend to
Menin. The allied troops have
occupied Fleurbaix and the imme-
diate approaches to Armentieres,
it is announced, and further gains
are claimed in the region of Arras
and the vicinity of St. MihieI.
1a;
Berlin announces that a gigan-
tic battle is preparing in the east
ern theater, where the Austro-
German forces have taken posi-
tions along the Vistula and San
rivers.
Vienna states officially that
continued Thursday
along the entire battle front from
Stry and Samber, both to the
southeast of Przemysl, to the
mouth of the San.
The most recent advices from
Petrograd claimed Russian sue
cesses in Russian Poland. All
sources agree that there is lull
in the struggle on the East Prus-
sian frontier following battles in
which neither army won a decided
advantage.

WARNING IS GIVEN
NATIONS AT WAR
Senator Stone Insists Rights
and Privileges of u. S. as
Neutral Be Respected.
COMPLAINT is BASED ON
CHARGE AGAINST FRENCH
Letter to Senator Thomas Says Of
fcers of Cruiser Conde Boarded
American Ship Metapan.

Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, today insist
ed that the rights and privileges OF
the United States as a neutral must
be respected by belligerent nations in
Europe or the responsibility will rest
upon their own heads.
He was actuated in his statement by
4 protest read to the Senate by Sen
ator Thomas of Colorado against a re-
ported search by officers Of the French
cruiser Conde of the American ship
Metapan and the paroling of five Ger
man passengers.
when we are performing our duty
to maintain neutrality nations involved
in war should be very careful to recog-
nize our rights and to keep faith with
u.s. said Senator Stone.
Responsibility Upon Them.
IF they fail to do so, then the respon-
slblilty of violating the rights of a
neutral power will rest upon their
heads. The government of the United
States Will maintain its position. but it
is well for other nations to know that
We will not look with Indifference upon
the violation of the rights and privi-
leges OF our own government or our
own citizens.
Senator Thomas had read in the Sen
ate letter from r. W. Patterson of
Colorado in protest against the action
of the Ccnde, in holding up and enter
ing one of the vessels of the United
Fruit Company flying the American flag
october 4, imprisoning the passengers
IN the dining saloon and compelling five
young Germans, who We're American
citizens. TO sign parole to the effect
that they would not serve against the
allies during the war The United
Fruit Company's vessel in question was
the Metapan which has since been
sunk in New York harbor in a collision
with the Iowa.
Protests to State Department.
Mr.. Patterson in his letter to Senator
Thomas said the Metapan had been
placed under American registry. in
compliance with the terms of the law
enacted by Congress recently, and that
French officers had committed an out
rage against American citizens on an
American vessel. He said that protest
had been made to the State Depart
ment in the matter. The boarding of
the Metapan, he said, occurred some
where near Cartagena.
Senator Thomas said that the position
of the United States was one of neutral
1ty, and that vigorous protest should
be made by the government in this mat
ter if the facts related were correct
He said that Mr.. Patterson was per-
sonal friend of his.
Mr.. Patterson called attention to the
fact that the captain and officers of the
Meta pan We're British and had offered
no protest to the action of the French.

WILSON APPEALS
TO ROCKEFELLER

Washington, April 27th.-President
Wilson has made a personal appeal
to John d. Rockefeller to bring about
a settlement OF the Colorado coal
strike, and end the violence which
has cost score of lives and large prop
erty loss.
The financier. who owns a large
part of the mines affected by tie
strike, in response TO a telegram from
the president declared he had turned
oyer his interests in Colorado TO his
son, John D., Jr., whom he would
ask toecooperate with Chairman Fos-
ter Of the house committee on mines
and mining. The president sent Mr.
Foster to New u ork today to talk with
the younger Rockefeller.
Upon the outcome to the conference
depends whether the federal troops
which haye been asked for by all
sides of the controversy will be sent
to the strike zone. Recently the
younger Rockefeller. at the hearing Of
the mines committee of the house
said the mine owners would fight to
the end. even though they should lose
all their interests. Since then the
conflict has ragged with all horrors of
actual warfare. The president. cabi-
net officers, senators and congress
men. have been flooded with tele-
grams describing the most gruesome
happenings and terrible scenes.
Nothing that has happened in
Mexico,n said cabinet official today,
Compares with the awful things in
Colorado. The public mind has for
the moment been centered on Mexico
and has not observed the great do
nestle struggle between the mine
owners, strikers and the militia in

cation in congress kept in touch with

Chandler, Colo, in telegram today,

stroy property.

themselves and with the white house
today. Representative Taylor today
received telegram from Governor
Ammons, requesting the Colorado del
egation TO advise the president that
the truce between the strikers ana the
state authorities had been violated,
and that the citizens Of Canon City
are in mortal terror; that the state
militia is inadequate; that Trinidad is
overrun with armed strikers that the
