Mercier Not Astonished at Break.
Baltimore, Md.-When Cardinal
Mercier was informed at Cardinal Glib
bons' residence of the reported sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
Belgium and Holland, he said:
81 knew there were difficulties, but
had not reason to suppose rupture
was imminent"
Others in his party did not seem sur
prised over the news.
Francois DeSSain, the cardinals
secretary, who speaks for him on mat
ters requiring exhaustive explanations,
and who is a military as well IS an
economic expert, explained the trouble
between the two nations, which he
described as military and commercial,
involving possession of that portion of
the province of Limburg extending as
far north as the nOrthernmost bounda-
ry line of Belgium and the domination
of the south bank Of the Scheldt river,
west of Antwerp, as an insurance
against Dutch blockades in time of
war, or against trade aggression in time
of peace.
Germany is recuperating,' Cardinal
Mercier said.
"And," put in NJ. Dessain, SHOULD
she be allowed to reconstruct her
strength. Belgium may well expect an
other invasion-unleSs we insure orr
selves by fortify:ng the frontier facing
Dutch Limburg. This we are unable
to do. because our guns would be
trained on neutral (Dutch) territory.
Belgium should have put in stronger
claim at the Peace Conference for
safety measures on the east boundary,
but unfortunately, Belgium's vote was
very weak at the session.
Asked whether Belgium expected
war. neither Cardinal Mercier nor his
secretary would deny its possibility.
MANY Belgians would welcome it,"
NJ Dessain volunteered
Several times recently there have
been reports that diplomatic relations
between Belgium and Holland were
badly strained.

TOMORROW IS
MOTHERS DAY
Second Sunday In May Is Set Apar
To Honor The Mothers of the
World

Tomorrow, May Il, the second
Sunday in May, is Mothers Day.
This beautiful custom of setting
aside one day in each year to
honor our mothers, originated
with Miss Ann Jarvis on Philadai-
phia in 1908. Since then the
movement has spread ali over the
world and has met with favor.
The. custom of wearing flow
ers on this day, the white in mem
cry of mother, if she IS dead, and
the pink for those living is prac-
tcally observed throughout Am
erica.
In most Of the churches throu-
ghcut the world special sermons
are delivered in honor Of moth
ers. This is the day when that
long neglected letter should be
written mother and flowers and
other tokens of love should be
showered upon her.
There never has been half
enough good and beautiful things
said or written ABOUT our moth
ers-there never will b, because
there never can be anything said
or written that would express
adequately their goodness, Their
dearness to u.s. The one person,
who believes in you, who is al
ways responsive and sympathe-
tic, whose hand always holds
steadily to yours, no matter to
what depths of aff:iction or
wrong you may descend, who new
er can be alienated from you or
made to forget you-this is your
mother and mine, and everyone's.
Although we have set aside
special day to celebrate her wcrth
and her devotion, and though we
should SO celebrate every day Of
the year, she would then not re-
ceive the tribute that is due her.

BOLSHEVIK IDEAS
CAUSE BIG STRIKE
Believed Germans Have Been Work
ing To Create Trouble Through
out Spain
Associated Press

I BARCELONA, Spain, May 10
German propaganda and the spread
If Bolshevik ideas among the working
men are, in part, blamed for the gen
eral strike which took place here last
week. 1t is generally believed that
The Germans have all along been
| Won king to create trouble among the
! Spanish laboring men. Their mach
nations during the war were exposed
| oy the Madrid daily Ell SOL which
showed how the German Embassy
vas implicated in provoking labor
| troubles both in Barcelona and Mad
rld- 1t was reported two weeks ago
that wireless message had been in
tercepted asking that further funds
oe sent here for propaganda work.
The wealth which the war brought
60 this manufacturing district of
Spain was not shared by the working
people. While the cost of living
steadily increased, wages remained
unaltered or insufficiently increased.
Bolshevik ideas began to spread
and were judiciously tostered by un-
identified persons who provided funds
and organization. Ali workers in
cluding clerks III offices were forced
by threats to join the labor syndicates
Those who refused were warned by
anonymous letters and if they disre-
sarded these warnings were murder
ed by masked men. The police failed
to discover the authors of these
crimes.
Tie strike began among the en-
ployes Of the light and power COM
pany and the city was left without
street cars or electric light. The gov
ernment mobilized the strikers but the
tramway conductors refused to take
the cars out under military orders and
were arrested ard taken to the for
tress of Montjuich.
Finally the MADRID government OBJ
lged the light ard power company to
conceda the demands of the men but
the army authorities refused the de-
Inand> OF the r1ficn that the imprison-
ed conductors be liberated.
The general strike ensued and the
city was left without light, power or
transport. There is good authority
Cor stating that the strike leaders had
planned a general pillage of the city
as serious as that which took place in
1902.
Martial law was proclaimed and |
the military authorities stationed ma !
chine guns in the leading thorough |
fares while special constables main
tanned order in the side streets. The
soldiers supplied electric light and !
water but no street cars were oper-
ated. No Barcelona papers were
printed for several days and the Mad |
rid papers received here were torn
from the hands of the vendors Even
tuaily the authorities gained the up-l
per hand and normal conditions were
resumed.
The censorship made it impossible
to wire any details.
