WARNS EMPLOYEES
OF RAILWAYS NOT TO STRIKE

Washington. d. C.. May s1.-As a
result Of the walkout Of several hun
dred machinists and shopmen in rail-
raod service at Alexandra. Va. sew
eral days ago in protest against the
small increases in pay allowed them
by the railroad administration, di-
rector general McAdOO last night sent
out a message to railroad men declar-
ing he did not believe these men knew
what they were doing nor realized
they were government employees and
that this was a strike against the
United States government
He informed them the wage board
was prepared to consider all protests
and TO adjust inequalities but he con-
demned any strikes as unpatriotic in
the highest degree and warned rail-
road employees the government Of the
United States cannot be coerced nor
inundated by any Of its employees.

lines strongly but have lost Morlan-
court their stronghold there. The
French, further to the south have had
their advance retarded at numerous
points. butSthe towns officially report

that the m Jmentum of the allied drive

patches from the battlefield it now
appears that the allies attacked the
Germans with little artillery prepara-

cent dispatches. The ground held by
the Germans in Flanders is very low
and dominated by the rallied artillery.
Its larger aspects. the success of the
allies south of the Somme, constitutes
a very serious threat to the German
line, especially to the southwark. The
advance has not so far weakened the
German positions northward toward
Arras, but the enemy finds himself in
an embarrassing position around
Montdidier, and from, that town south
eastward at least as far as the Disc
river. A further advance of the allies
in Picardy would outflank the whole
German line as far as the Disc and
probably cause an immediate retreat
to positions which can be linked up
with the Aisne line.

MRS. BROWN is FINED
Negro Woman Who Held County Off,
GERS at Bay Found Guilty.

The case of the state against Mrs
Hezekiah Brown, charged with inter-
fering with the duties of the county
surveyors, was finished in the court of
Topeka by Judge Rad Lee this morn
ing. resulting in the defendant being
found guilty. She was fined SIS and
costs and it is understood that she will
appeal the case to the district court.
Judge Lee decided that, while the
county surveyors were in error in not
serving written notice on Mrs. Brown,
announcing their intention to survey
on a certain date, still. evidence re-
vealed that she undoubtedly had a
gun in her hand and might have used
it, resulting in very serious conse-
quences.
The punishment imposed was a
light one in consideration of the Of
Tense, but the judge believed that Mrs.
Brown was doubtless sincere in her
efforts to prevent the building of the
fence and not to stop the work of the
surveyors.
