Prepares to Enter World War-Foreign
Secretary Announces that Com
mons Must Decide Germany
Seizes Four British Steam
ers-Naval Battle
Rumored

German troops today occupied the
Belgian town of Arlen. Belgium re-
fused to accept the offer OF German
alliance If Belgium would give formal
permission for the Germans to cross
Belgium into France. The Germans
penetrated Belgium at two points.
II is reported but not verified that
England yesterday notified Germany
that the British navy would take inn
mediate action If the Germans enter
ed Belgium and that Germany replied
that they we're forced to enter Bel
GUM, by reports that the French
themselves were massing to cross Bel
gium.
A German semiofficial announce
ment asserted that great numbers of
French airmen were flying over Bel
GUM and Holland. The German fleet
was reported as entering the North
sea where the British fleet is sup
posed to lie.

Senator Cores main object in thus

tell us that he has kept the faith.
However, it was not absolutely neces-

franked, conveying the same informa-

frank but no stamp, were distributed
by the letter carriers, the senator thus
using the mail for his own personal

years back alimony from her former

Taylor disappeared, and after

come into possession of property.
She asks for permission to put Taylor
on the stand and quiz him as to what
property he owns which she can attach
for the alimony bill. The defence may
possibly invoke the statute of limita-

RED CROSS BADGES
SERVED AS TARGETS
Major Boughton, Investigator, Is
Coming from Colorado to
Refute Story.

The morning session Of tho United
States Commission on Industrial Rela-
lions had Just opened yesterday. when
Mrs. Pearl Jolly and Mrs. Mary Hannah
Thomas, wives OF two Of the striking
miners of Colorado, Unexpectedly ap-
peared in the meeting room, and, through
Miss Melinda Scott, president Of the
Women's Trade Union League. asked per-
mission to tell their story OF the strike
Some members OF the commission were
not In favor Of giving the privilege OF
the floor but. at the request OF Mrs. j.
Borden Hartman, OF the commission, 1t
was granted.
Mrs Jolly. who spoke first. said that
the militia had turned the strike into
reign OF terror, fighting, not against the
strikers, but against the women.
THE number Of rifles in the tent col
ony was greatly exaggerated" she con-
tinued. lone story was that there were
700 rifles in Lawsons tent, but there were
only forty in all. II there had been 100
there would not have been SO many dead
women and children
Mrs Jolly then graphically described
the scenes In the strike zone when the
machine guns of the militia were trained
en- the tents. She went to the zone as
nurse and wore red crosses on the sleeves
and bosom of her white dress.
But these made good targets she
said. THE soldiers fired at me as ran
between the tents, and the heel Of one OF
my shoes was shot off.
After commencing the courage and
chivalry of the Turks in the tent colony,
she described the finding of the bodies
Of women and children in the camp, the
ATTEMPT to rescue women and children by
rushing them past the militia to safety
in the face of firing and the unspeakapie
insults offered by the soldiers. Members
Of the commission were greatly moved
by her story.
Mrs Thomas told OF her arrival In
Trinidad, Of her arrest on no complaint
and confinement with her children for
eleven days and the gross cruelty and
-caIlousness on the part of the militia.
1t was learned that Major Edward j.
Boughton, Judge Advocate OF the Military
District of Colorado and chairman or the
committee appointed to investigate the
conditions. will testify before the commits
sion to-day. It was said that he came
from Colorado to New York to refute part
of the testimony Of Mrs. Jolly and Mrs.
Thomas.
When the two women furnished their
addresses, John T. Taggert. business
agent Of the Metal Lathers' Union, testi-
fed as to jurisdictional disputes between
