NOT TO FIRE IN
BELGIUM STRIKE
"Do Not Shoot Your Breth

BRTTSSELLS, Belgium, April 14.—
"Soldiers, do not fire on your breth
ren!"'
Placards bearing this Inscription are
to he seen throughout all the cities
of Belgium, where the most remark
able strike in history was inaugurated
today. ♦
It is estimated that 300,000 men in
nearly all branches of industry stopped
work, not on a Question of wages or
conditions of labor, but to compel the
government to grant manhood suf
frage.
While leaders of the strike declare
there will he no violence, the govern
ment is taking no chances. The full
Pjpace strength of the army, 46,000 men,
is under arms ready for instant serv
ice should they be required.
IMUSTRY PARALYZED
There is no exaggeration in saying
that the industries of Belgium are
paralyzed and it is impossible to fore
see what the result will be unless a
settlement is soon reached.
The mine workers, 150,000 strong,
were the first to quit and they were
followed by the railroad men, enough
of the latter remaining on duty to
operate trains because the Belgian
railways are governmpnt owned.
Factory owners, carpenter workers,
iron and steel workers and many other
craft! walked out, and the strike lead
ers predicted that by Wednesday more
than f>oo.ooo workers, representing
every branch of Industry, would be on
strike.
All of the workers did not quit on
the first day because the socialists did
not want completely to paralyze the
country or give the government any
excuse tor calling out the soldiery.
LO.VG FIGHT EXPECTED
In Brussels, Antwerp, L»ieve, Ver
vierf.', Bruges, Ghent and all the large
cities affected by the strike calm pre
vailed.
"Leaders of the strike are confident
that they will compel the government
to grant universal suffrage. They de
clare there is no room for a compro
mise and that they are prepared to keep
up the fight until their demand is
granted.
The economic loss is great, It being
estimated that it will amount to $1,
--000,"00 a day while the strike is in
progress. Thousands of women and
children have been sent out of the
country by the socialists in anticipa
tion of a long struggle. They have
raised more than $3,000,000 to carry
on the fight.

'Nation Can Not Prom

IRA E. BENNETT
fSppriel Dtepetcfe to Tiif Cain
WASHINGTON, April 14. —President
Wilson is not worrying over the
phraseology in the alien land bill pend
ing in the California which
puts all nations on a basis of equality
with reference to the ownership of
land.
Tfe* correspondent £rew the wre*l
dent's attention to the fart that asser
tions had been made by diplomats of
foreign nations that the bill as It
stands prevents aliens of any nation
from owning land in California for
more than a year unless they take out
their first citizenship papers.
It was stated to the president that
some of the diplomats had construed
it as a violation of their treaty rights,
which provide that Americans shall
own land In foreign countries without
giving up their allegiance to the United
States and that foreigners can own
land in the United States without sur
rendering their allegiance to their own
nation.
BBGAKQED AS LOCAL MATTER
The president stated to The Call rep
resentative, however, that he felt that
the other nations would be reasonable
and recognize the fact that the national
government could not control the ac
tion of California and that the alien
land law naturally would not extend
beyond the borders of California.
The president made it clear that hp
is taking a hand In the California
alien land law controversy only as an
individual.
President Wilson now is trying in a
tactful way to get such changes in
the bill as will propitiate Japan and
prevent any further complications.
Other nations may be offended by the
bill as it now stands. President Wil
son, however, takes the position that if
any existing treaties promise more than
the federal government can fulfill,
there is no remedy other than the as
sessment of damages. The president
declared today that he did not believe
Japan was under any misapprehension
as to the federal scope in acting against
a state.

The president says that as chief ex
ecutive of the nation he can not pro-,

were pleased today to receive a night
letter from President Moore of the
Panama-Pacific exposition correcting
the story that was telegraphed broad
cast throughout the United States that
California was not to have a state
building. The original dispatch caused
considerable comment among members
of congress from outside states.
"I am very glad indeed," said Con
gressman Knoniand, "that President
Moore has answered fully the er*
roneous dispatch which was sent out
from California and published in the
leading newspapers throughout the
United States conveying the im
pression that California would have
no state building.
"It was rather embarrasing to the
members of the California delegation,
as tiu , dispatches were commented
upon generally by members of con
gress. I think it would be an excel
lent plan to have the dispatch of
President Moore placed In the hands
of every member of congress, which
would certainly tend to counteract the
effect of the newspaper reports."

ROME, April 14.—Rome bejcan to
hope today that the miraculous would
happen and that the aj?od popo would,
after all successfully combat the com
plication of diseases which has sapped
his vitality, pulled down his strength
and brought him to tho very brink of
the grave.
After a sleepless night, in which the
{doctors worked uin -"asingly , to fight oft
the threatened pm iimonla, his holiness
'at last sank into ;i sleep, which could
! harili.v he determined from coma. When
lie awakened it was found the pneu
monia symptoms had almost disap
peared, and the fever had abated until
it was well below 100 decrees.
While the attending physicians are
encouraged it must not be considered
that the danger of • fatal termination
of the attack is not extremely grave.
WEAK A\n EMACIVTKD
The holy father is in a pitiable state
of weakness and emaciation. He is
able to take little nourishment, and It
jis a question whether or not he will
be able to get hold of himself, even
if the danger from inflammation and
fever is arrested.
It is this question of giving their il
lustrious patient strength so that ha
may become convalescent which is now
engaging the energies of the doctors.
Among the high officials at the vati
can upon whom will devolve the gray*
! duties of carrying on the work of the
church during the interim between the
death of the pope and the election ami
installation of his successor the faint
hope that the doctors will be successful
in fighting off death has not had the
effect of halting the preparations for
the elaborate ceremonies which follow
a change.

Well beloved as Pope Pius Is, the sin-
I c<>re sorrow for his death must not and
will not Interfere with the prescribed
rules of the church.
Ho far as possible the vatican Is pre
pared for the end now. The cardinals
'who rule the church at the far ends of
the earth are kept informed of the con-*
dition of his holiness, so that they may
start for Rome in time to be present at
the opening of the conclave which will
elect the next pope. The dignitaries who
have prescribed duties to attend when
the end comes are ready for instant call.
