TO THE AID OF FRANCE
Why the United States Should Unite
with the Allies.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Again the Germans have capt
ured a Belgian city and imposed a levy
on the unfortunate citizens that have
done nothing but tried to defend their
rights. When the Germans have thor
oughly plundered those peaceable and
brave people they will turn TO France,
conouer the cities and levy contribu-
tions on them.
When this country struggled TO free
itself from the English taxes the
French people came gallantly to its
aid. They did not say Europe for US
and America for the Americans" Now,
can we, who enjoy the liberty and
fruits of those brave mems deeds,
stand By and see our sister republic
and the descendants of our benetactors
trampled under the heels of the mill
tary-crazed Germans, who have vlo,,
lated nearly every rule of civilized
warfare and treaties TO some OF which
the United States has been party?
Il will probably cost us few thou
sand men and a few million dollacs
now TO teach Germany to respect inter.
national laws and their neighbors'
rights. but if we do not do it now we
must sooner or later spend q thousand
times that much 20 defend ourselves.
Indeed, We will not deserve help from
any one if we can now uncOncernedly
look upon our sister republics distress,
humiliation. and perhaps destruction.
The United States should immedi-
stely join the Allies and persuade a.
many of the neutral countries to do
the same under the condition that when
Germany is conquered she is only made
70 pay what damage she has done; that
the provinces she has taken from her
neighbors should be allowed 20 vote TO
whom they will belong in tho future;
tnat Russia be compelled to keep her
promise to the Poles, Firms and Jews;
that armament be abolished or limited
for a certain length Of time or forever.

Soldiers Wanted Money
For Protecting Refugees
BY Associdted PresS

Galveston, Tex, May 13.-Stories of
anti-American riots along the MeM-
can seaboard that fringes the Gulf of
Tehuantepec and an attempt of a
Mexican mob to burn a train bearing
the American refugees were told last
night by party of Americans who
fled from Mexico to Guatemala and
then come here on the steamship
Brighton. They left Mapastepec, Chi
pas. April 81. because of growing SEN
timent against Americans. They took
the train for Guatemala but on their
arrival at Tapachula a mob surround
ed the coaches and demanded the de-
livery of Americans on board. The
police guard tried to drive back the
MeZicans, who tried to set the pas
senger coaches on fire.
Federal troops were rushed from a
nearby post and for several hours the
mob was held in check. Then the Off
GERS commanding the troops demand
ed ransom of the Americans for pro-
lection. 1t appeared, the refugees
said, as if the federal officer was
about to give the Americans over to
the mob when the jefe poltico de-
nounced the federal officer for ask
ing for a ransom and the refugees
were permitted to depart. They made
their way across Guatemala and took

Altoona Is Not Much
Interested in Strike

The Altoona Times. commenting on
the strike situation, says:
Altoona shopmen are giving no out
ward signs of their interest in the
strike of the Brotherhood of Fed
Grated Railway Employees. They are
sticking to their work, and this was
evidenced yesterday when the new
brotherhood endeaVored to stir up
sympathy among workmen at the shop
entrance at Ninth avenue and Four
teenth street. 1t was futile and not u
recruit was received by the organ
iZation.
There is no strike in this city, the
Federated Railway Employees organ
ization simply endeavoring to stir up
strike agitation. Thus far they have
been unsuccessful and indications are
that they will remain so. Vice-Prcsi-
dent McDevitt, of the organization,
and possibly fifty of the members held
a MONDAY meeting at Ninth avenue
and Fourteenth street. McDevitt
spoke, the shopmen listened but when
the shop whistle blew the men went
back to their work. Last evening the
Railway Employees held a meeting in
the hall behind closed doors and moth
ing was given out for publication.
"Workmen returning from Enoa
and Harrisburg yesterday stated that
all was quiet about the shops there
that generally the strikers were not
causing any annoyance to workmen
and behaving themselves. One of the
men stated that there were possibly
two hundred Altoona workmen on
duty at Enola. that they took their
meals on the commissary car, that
they were being treated right and had
not been molested by the strikers. The
men say that all is quiet about the
shops and that one would not know
there was a strike on if it were not for
the talk of the men concerning the
strike situation at Harrisburg"

STORM DISTURBS SHIPPING.
Steamer Wakefield and Other Craft
Held Near Norfolk by East Wind.

heavy easterly storm, which has
been blowing on the south Atlantic
coast for the past five or six days, is
interfering considerably with the
movement of the sidewheel steamers
operating out of Norfolk, and coast
wise shipping is also detained in
Hampton roads, waiting a change in
the weather
The steamer Wakefield of the Po-
tomac and Chesapeake Company's feet
is weather-bound at Old Point, where
she has been lying since Saturday
last, The steamer left here about two
weeks ago and was taken to Newport
News to be locked for examination of
her hull. 1t was found that several
plates would have to be replaced, and
a hurry job was made on the work in
order to get the steamer ready to re-
turn here as soon as possible. Satur-
day afternoon she was ready to leave
and start was made up the bay, but
the easterly gale that was blowing in
creased to such an extent that those in
charge of the Wakefield deemed it wise
to return to harbor and not attempt
the trip. She was put about to Old
Point, where she was still lying at last
report. AS soon as the storm moder-
ates she will leave for this city, and
on her arrival here will take her place
on the Nominf route.
