"Washington, April 7. The women
who have been picketing the British
Embassy In a campaign to havo the
United States break off relations with
Great Britain in behalf of Irish free
dom turned their batteries this after
noon upon Secretary of State Colby.
Equipped with placards, purporting
to quote from a speech made by Mr,
Colb' on -May 14. 1916, in Carnegie
S.tdi
from an automobile ln front of tho
War, State and Navy building and
commenced to walk monotonously
about the big structure.
The pickets were ln charge of SIlss
Mollle Carroll an actress from New
York, who oombarded the British Em
bassy yesterday with literature from an
airplane. Miss Carroll's orders' to her
pickets were that they were not U resist
arrest and were to offer no resistance to
any ono who might molest them. The
pickets were Miss Mar' Calvin and Miss
Kathleen McCuno of Philadelphia and
Miss Katherlne Kennedy of Brooklyn.
Tho placards carried these alleged
quotations from Mr. Colby'H speech:
I cannot stand by mute and pas
sionless as these votive offerings aro
laid upon the altar of patriotism.
Tha death of your martyrs has
called Into existence millions of Irish
men by principle.
Thcro Is not even a scintilla of
legality ln England's claims to rulo
Ireland.
Tho occasion of Mr. Colby's speech
was a mass meeting called In sympathy
with the Easter rebellion of that year
ln Ireland.
Large crowdi assembled to see the
march of the pickets, but It was a good
natured crowd und tho quotations from
Mr. Colby's speech were read with
amused Interest.
State Department officials took no
action to stop tha picketing, saying that
was a matter for the Police Department.
No arrests were made. The women say
they will resume their march to-morrow.
The women charged with violating Fed
eral statute. No. 4062 ln picketing tho
lirltish Embassy wero brought beforo
United States Commissioner Richardson
to-day and were released on ball of
$1,000 each, which was promptly fur
nished. They were Mrs. Honore Walsh,

Ciiicacjo, April 7. Chicago Is con
fronted with one of the most dam
aging strikes In lis history to-day with
the walkout of switchmen, llrunien
and engineers. Here arc some of the
salient facts In the colossal tieup:
Union rebels assert 16,500 switch
men already are out; 2,000 engi
neers and firemen Joined them and
6,500 more threaten to leave their
engines by nightfall.
Every railroad in Chicago, with
the exception of the Illinois Cen
tral, admits complete paralysis ' of
freight trafllc.
The strike catches Chicago with
only a week's supply of coal in her
bins and none in transit, which
means a city without fuel in seven
days If the strike continues.
The-stockyards will have to clo.se
by to-morrow night unless tho
trainmen return to their posts: al
ready all killing operations havo
ceased and 23,000 workers are re
ported Idle.
Armour & Co. announced this
afternoon that unless the strlko
situation Improves, the company
will close all but its general of
fices to-morrow. This will put 14,
000 employees out of work.
Meat Supplr In Dancer
,e most serious j
Chicago faces one of
- tuation. ever confuting the ta I
the opinion of packing officials, manu
facturers, coal operators and rauroao
men. Officials of the packing companies
say the meat supply for Chicago and
environs can bo spread over the local
demand not longer than a week or ten
days, :ndrr present conditions.
Coal men predict a fuel famine the
weck" unless the '
strike is broken.
In that connection W. II. Leland. vice
nrcj,lflPnt nf tin. Consumers' Conmanv.
said that the present coal situation. In
.k n. , .,
the most serious with which the city
had had to contend nnd was far worse :
than that ariilng from the strike of coal j
miners.
"We haven't received a car of coal i
since r riaay nigni, sir. x-eiana saiu
In discussing the coal situation. "Wo
have &0.000 tons In our yards. Just
about enough to last until the forepart
of the week. Unless wc rcceivii more
by then there'll be a famine. Wo have
60.000 tons In transit and there's 230,000
tons tied up In the outer railroad yards.
None of this can be moved because of
the strike."
Outgoing shipments from the block
aded district havo been reduced to a
minimum. The packers to-day were
compelled to resort to motor trucks to
supply retail butcher trado Just beyond
the outer belt line. Swift & Co. put a
fleet of forty-five trucks in commission
and started them for Gary, Jollct.
Kenosha and other points with heavy
loacbi of fresh meats. Other packers
did the same.
Shortage In I. Ire Stock.
Eighty cars of live stock were brought
Into the yards to-day ocr the North
western, Illinois Central and Wabash
railroads, which hove direct connections
with the stockyards nnd do not have to
depend upon switchmen. The cars wero
loaded with 1,000 cattle, 2.CO) hogs nnd
1.000 sheep. Normally about 2.000 car
loadf of live stock are received at tho
yards.
Incoming shipments to the wholesale
grocery houses have beon held up, and
no large supply of foodstuffs has been
received by them, but there Is n suf- i
flclent stock In warehouses here to care:
for Chicago's want for two or three j
weeks, perhaps a month.

tion of International uffalrs and war
problems as a result of the President's j
refusal to agree to the ratification or
tho Versailles treaty with tho Lodge
reservations.
Summarized, Mr. Flood's report lodges
tho following objections to tho resolu
tion: It ls unconstitutional.
, It will endanger the titlo of the
United States to German ships seized
nnd other enemy alien property taken
by tho Allen Property Custodian,
valued at more than J.OOO.OCO.
It will postpone Indefinitely tho re
dress that victims of German out
rages such as thoso of tho Lusltahla
should receive.
It will compel tho United States to
protect the territorial Integrity of
Germany even against the Allies.
It will hinder tho business Interests
of the country In resuming trade re
lations with Germany, unless the Ger
man Government promptly accepts
the resolution.
Hrpnlillcnnn Are Confident.
Republicans insist they have effective
answers for all of Mr. Flood's objections
and that he ls misinterpreting the ef
fect of the resolution. Thero ls little
doubt that the attitude of the majority
backs up the stand of Senator Lodge
(Mass.). the Republican leader, ln tho
treaty fight, and this position has been
strengthened by recent developments ln
Europe. Several members purpose to

Washington, April 7. The holy
city of Jerusalem is now under mar
tial law. Despatches to the Depart
ment of Stato from the American
Consulate In Jerusalem say that tho
city was placed under military control
yesterday following tho conflict be
tween Moslems and Jews. The report
says there were casualties on both
sides in the conflict, but dops not
state, their, extent.
Cairo, April 7. While details of the
clashes between Moslems and Jews
In Jerusalem are lacking, which may
Indicate tnat a censorship has been
(lmposed, it is pointed out that thu
Moslems are now celebrating the
"Moussa," tho Jews the Passover, and
the Christians Easter. There Is al
ways tho risk of collisions during the
processions Incidental to theso ob
servances, of which there havo been
a number during former years.
Travellers say that antl-Scmltlc feel
ing has developed acutely recently
among the Arabs, but- that there has
been no show'of hostility between the
Moslems and Christians. When pro
cessions of Moslems and Christians met
on April 2 not nn unfriendly word was
uttered, but bands of Moslems and Jews
clashed the same day at the Jaffa gate,
the Jews crying, "Wc won tlic country
by the sword nnd will keep It by the
sword." A melee ensued In which knives
and stones were used. British soldiers
arrived quickly and calmed the trouble,
but them were subsequent disturbances
as processions wero passing through the
city's narrow streots, Jews being nt-
tacKea whenever met.
The travellers bringing news of the
clashes siiy that the number of killed
was not definitely known, but that the
casualties probably were evenly divided.
Tho proclamation of martial law in
Jerusalem is bolicved to ue the result of
n clash between Arabs and Jews grow
ing out of nationalist feeling on both
sides and to religious animosities. The
Jewish demand for tho creation of a
Zionist Stato In Palcstlno has been op
osed strongly by the Arabs, while the
Jews see their cetitury old dream of a
free home land dispelled If tho Arabian
aspiration for a united Syria under an
Arab prince Is achieved.
Reports havo been current here for
months that trouble was brewing be
tween Jew and Arab In Palestine be
cause of theso nationalist strivings, while
history Is full of accounts of clashes be
tween Jews and Moslems and Jews and
Christians, and even among tho Chris
tians themselves because of religious
hatreds.
A despatch to the Exchango Tele
graph In Ixjndon from Alexandria on
last Tuesday Indicated, thnt trouble had
arrived In Palestine. All permits for
travellers to enter Palestine from Egypt
had been recalled, tho despatch said.
Almost simultaneously the Zionist Or
ganization of America, with offices
here, gave out a statement tnat "tho
widely heralded antl-Ztonlst demonstra
tion In Jerusalem on February 2S by thu
Arab population of Palestine was n
complete fiasco." It was said that
about seven hundred Arab demonstra
tors presented protests to the Amer
ican, French and Italian consulates
against handing Palostlno over to tho
Jews. This, demonstration was staged
by two Arab Nationalist clubs, Hardl
el Arabl nnd Homuntada al Hadl,

Berlin, April 6 (delayed). The oc
cupation of Frankfort, Hanau, Darm
stadt and other cities In the neutral
zone by tho French, again illustrates
tho distrust existing between France
and German;.
The real reasdn for the French oc
cupation of these cities nppears to be
the need by the Mlllerand Government
ln Paris of a real guarantee that, the
Reichswehr will not remain In thei
Ruhr, which, If they did, might make
possiblo tho dictation by Germany re
garding coal deliveries from tho Ruhr
fields to France.
Here, however, in certain circles it
is insisted that tho French are guilty
of a new stroko of arrogance and
merely used the Ruhr situation as a
pretext for an act of aggression; that
the French, Indeed, do not intend to
withdraw from these cities which they
occupied to-day, even after the evac
uation of tha Ruhr region by the
Reichswehr.
Revival of NutlonnUini Seen.
The net result of this misunder
standing ls the stimulation of nation
alism in Germany. At tho same time,
it takes the edge off the importance of
tho intl-mllltarlstlc victory by the
German ppople following tho Kapp
coup d'etat. Also it Is difficult for one
who comes In contact with men ln
high official circles here to credit the
Berlin Government with bad (faith
toward France ln sending the Reichs
wehr to restore order in Westphalia.
It Is realized hero that there arc many
1 reasons for criticizing the German Gov
' ernment for this Westphallan move,
' which might have been avoided alto
' gcthcr had the Government's unfortunate
ultimatum to the Ruhr workers, followed
j by Gen. von Walter's interpretation of
. It, never oeen sent. Indeed It is even
j questionable whether the 17,500 men, the
, "official" strength of tho force in the
Ruhr basin and In tho other portions of
tho neutral zone, nre required to gain
the upper hand over the robber bands
there, now that most of the Red at my ls
oluntarIly disarmed.
The Government In Berlin is in a
predicament once more, for, following
the lead of the reactionary oillcers' clique
vhlch dominates the Reichswehr al
though a civil commissioner is cch
r.lcally ln supremo command of the
Reichswehr this ofllccrs' clique ' has
been permitted a semblance of satisfac
tion. Ited Peril KxaKirerated.
Tho Reichswehr as It Is now consti
tuted cannot exist save as a guard
against Bolshevism nnd, viewing ' the
situation from Berlin, It appears as
though the danger of Bolshevism has
been magnified purposely In order to
glvo the national army the privilege of
icgalnlng Its prestige.
As newspaper despatches gave the Im
pression that France had acted ln her
odvancc Into the neutral zono without
tfcc consent of either Great Britain or
Italy,' the move Is interpreted here ns an
t.ttempt by France to occupy more Ger
man cities either permanently or to
sound out public opinion In Great Britain
and In Italy to see whether It were safe
tu remain ln occupation of these cities.
There Is still considerable optimism In
Berlin, and It is not believed that
Franco allies will consider the German
Government's measure.? In tho Ruhr
region as imperilling world peace as de
fined In that paragraph of the Treaty of
Versailles by which Premier Mlllerand
's empowered to net.

This ls the llrst action taken
under Article XI. of the Treaty of

the LuiiRiie of Nations.
Article XI. provides: "Any war or
threat of war, whether Immediately af
fecting any members of the League nr
not, is hereby declared a matter of con
cern to the whole League, and tho
League shall take any action that may
be deemed wise and effectual to safe

"Will Khnpe Allied Attitude.
.With Italy, Helglmn and Japan
apparently prepared to follow I'ng
laud's lead, the allied attitude to
ward the French occupation of
Frankfort and other cities ln tho so
called noutrul zone and to-day's pro
test from the (Jeruian Government
will he shaiK-d by Premier Lloyd
George of Great llrltaln.
Tho Council of Ambassadors,
which now constitutes the connectlm;
link between the Powers ujul the
league, met to-day just Ions enough
to receive the protest by the German
Government. Then the council ad
journed until next Frldny to give
Premier Lloyd George time to make
up his mind as to what attitude he
would take.
This subtle British statesman will,
possibly, examine his own situation
before deciding.
The absence of any word from her
allies to-day is plainly getting on
French nerves, nnd tho situation Sa
more tenso diplomatically than it was
yesterday. It is evident thnt France
expected they would announco their
attitude before this.
Tho cleverness of the Germans in
bringing In tho League of Nations and
Article XI. of the League Covenant la
recognized In diplomatic circles here
and the forthcoming meeting of tho
Council of tho league ls becoming im
portant. The suggestion was advanced In one
diplomatic quarter hero to-hlght that
Premier Lloyd George, in order to
bolster up tho league's waning for
tunes and meet his own political situa
tion, might ask tho league to tako a
stand.
Teat of Allied Unit;.
By Its note transmitted this morning
to Premier Mlllerand. as head of the
Council of Ambassadors. vtho German
Government ngaln Indicated Its Inten
tion to use the French ocoupatlon of
Frankfort, Darmstadt. Homburg, Hanau
nnd Dleburgas a test of allied unity.
The noje protests against the Inde
pendent notion of France ln ordering her
armed forces Into the neutral zone, and
stresses the point thnt the French de
mand for the complete evacuation of the
entire zone by the Reichswehr, us the
condition of a French withdrawal from
Frankfort nnd other points Just occupied,
apparently Ignores the August protocol,
which permitted Germany to have, a
certain number of troops In the neutral
zone.
In other words, Germany virtually
asks the peace conference us represented
by the Council of Ambassadors to ex
plain the action and the Intentions of
France. Thus tho whole question cf
allied unity continues to bo at stake,
for unless Franco obtains the approval
of her nllles of the Hteps she has taken
the Council of Ambassadors becomes a
farce.
Already the suspicion Is aroused here
that German diplomacy Is still manipu
lated by Hanlcl von Halmhnusen, for
merly German representative In Ver
sailles pending thu naming of a icnco
commission, and tho old Wllhelmstrnssa
crowd and that the German diplomatist:)
hope to s.i'parat'j tin Allies and thereby
escapo later on many of the treaty pro
visions. It 13 moro and moro apparent that the
