BELGIAN RELIEF SHIP SUNK
sGeemer HarpaIyce Lost in the North
Sea-26 of Crew Missing-Had
Discharged Its Cargo.

Rotterdam, April 13.-Tbe British
steamer Harpalyce, the first relief
boat of New York state and under
charter to the commission for relief
in Belgium, has either been t~orpedoed
or sunk by a mine in the North sea.
The Dutch steamer Elizabeth picked
up % of the crew of the Harpalyce
and brought them back to Rotterdam.
The Dutch steamer Constance Cath
erina picked up five men. The steam
er carried a crew of SO men, 26 of
whom, it is feared, have been drowned.
1t is presumed that the Harpalyce's
cargo had been unloaded and that il
was on the return voyage. Before
leaving Rotterdam it was obliged to
give up it's safe conduct and its Red
Cross symbols, so that it was subject
to the same risks as any other ship
after it had finished its work for the
commission. Eight Grimsby steam
trawlers have been sunk.

Speaker Clark has evidently accept

AS the soup houses and the bread

The Fight Is Not Given Up.

Despite the numerous protests
from Columbus, the p%ostoffice de-
partment intends to stand pat on its
instructions for the abolition of its
parcel post terminal here. The date
of the change is subject to the deci-
sion of the superintendent of the rail-
way mail service at Cincinnati, who
must provide for the transfer and dis
position of railway mail clerks now
employed in the local office. AS re-
suit of this information a joint meet
ing of the members of the Manufac-
turers and Jobbers' Association and
the Retail Merchants Association of
the Chamber of Commerce vas called.
Steps will be taken toward further
protest of the removal of the terminal.
1t is argued that mail service in and
out of Columbus will be impaired seri.
ously. Manufacturers, jobbers and
merchants say there is no justification
for the move.

self with regard to war-torn Mexico:

wrecked his administration and his
party largely by his webbing policy in
relation to Mexico. Every argument
of humanity, policy and profit now and
hereafter points to our ending anarchy

extreme suggestion, but there be many
Americans who will agree with the
