interest Of military preparedness was

tives yesterday when Representative
moore. of Pennsylvania, a Republican,
TOLD the Democrats that IL some member
or that party did not shortly introduce

initial charge Of paid propaganda in the
American press was voiced by Repre-
sentative NCallaway, a Texas Democrat,
before the mass meeting of the Emer-
gency Peace Federation In this city Mon
day night.
Galloway had charged that the house
OF Morgan and the allied interests had
formed an alliance to control the press
OF the country. He declared the twenty
five papers were selected and "the policy
OF the papers was bought and paid for
py the month, and an editor furnished
each paper properly to supervise and edit
information regarding questions of pre-
paredness, militarism. financial policies
and other things of national and interna-
tional nature considered vital to the in
terests of the purchasers. The contract
is In existence at the present time

charged nor pro-British. but that he was

sues FOR ANNULMENT
ON GROUND OF DURESS
Was Forced to Marry by Threat oi
Death, Alleged.

Declaring that she married Jesse Coles
under duress'' and only after he had
threatened at two different times to kill
her. Cordelia Coles filed in the District
Supreme Court yesterday a petition ask
Ing the court for annulment of her mar
rage
''Since 1915. she states in her bill. Coles
had paid marked attention to her." but
being only an immature schoolgirl of II
years she regarded his attentions as
merely casual friendship.
In September. 1916, according to the
petition. she was induced by the defen-
dant to accompany him to a Washington
suburb, where. upon his learning she had
no intention of marrying him, he pulled
from his pocket a revolver and told her
If 1 thought you were not going to marry
me I would kill you"
Again. on January 2, the petition con-
tinues. he demanded to know whether she
intended to marry him, and drew from
his pocket a knife and forced from the
plaintiff a promise to become his wife on
February /. Against her will, and with
out the knowledge of her parents or
friends, she promised, the petition says.
She now asks that her act of par
ticipating In the alleged marriage cere-
mony was not her free voluntary act and
deed, but was the result of the force and
duress exercised and practiced upon her
by the defendant"

GERMANS MAY BLOCK
BELGIAN RELIEF WORK
American Relief Commission to Be
Forced to Withdraw.

Unofficial reports that the American
Relief Commission will be forced to with
draw from Belgium, where for two years
1t has conducted the greatest relief work
the world has ever seen, were accepted
as accurate last night by the State De-
partment. 1t was also admitted that
American Minister Brand Whitlock. who
has remained in the captured Belgium
capital to aid in relief and other work,
would have to leave the German occu-
pied territory.
The State Department declared that
there was no means of evading or avoid
ing the German military order, sending
all American relief workers out of the
occupied territory in Belgium and north
ern France. Herbert c. Hoover, chair
man of the American Commission for
Relief in Belgium is conducting nego-
tiations with combination of Spanish
and Dutch governments in an effort to
have the relief work taken over by those
nations.
Minister Whitlock occupies a peculiar
position. He is accredited to Belgium
but Is located in German territory. 1t
Is probable he will be moved to the
Belgian temporary capital now in France.
Belgian Minister Havenith said last
night that deportation OF Belgium work
men still continues, and that total of
10000 men have heen removed to Ger
many.
Belgium is now a great slavery camp, -
he said.
