TIIK IIAGUK. Netherlands, via Lon
don, April 30. The wings of the dove
of peace were ruffled today at the ses
sion of tho International Congress of
Wmen.
At the Instance of Dr. Augsptirg, of
Munich, tho entire .Belgian delegation
was Invited to tho platform. Only two
women of the five present came from
their box at the Bide of the stage and
made their way to the platform. They
were welcomed by the chairman. Miss
Jane Addams. of Chicago, with both
hands, but there was no handshaking
with the Gorman delegations.
Belsvlan 'Woman Drnindii "Junttce."
In moving the final resolution, Mrs.
Xtoslka Schwlmmer, president of the
Hungarian "Women's Suffrage Associa
tion, requested that all the delegates
present stand one minute In silent
prayer for peace. Mile, Iiamcr, of the
Belgian delegation, thereupon askreQ
permission to utter a few words. When
this was prranted she astounded her
auldenco with the dramatic exclama
tion: "I am Belgian before everything, and
I cannot think as you do. There can
be no peace without justice. The Mar
must continue until the Belgians'!
wrongs have been righted. There must
be no mediation except at the bar of
Justice."
l'art of Audience Clieera.
General sympathy for the suffering
of the Belgians caused part of the au
dience to break into cheers.
On the motion, of Miss Florence llol
brook. of Chicago, the word "justice"
was inserted in the resolution, which
reads:
"The International Congress of Wom
en of different nationalities, creeds,
clashes and parties is united in express
ing sympathy with the suffering of all,
whatever their nationality, who are
fighting for their country or who are
laboring under the burden of war.
Irince the mass of the people of each or
the countries now warring believe
themselves to be lighting, not aggres
sively, but in self-defense and for their
rational existence, it urges the govern
ments of the world to put an end to
this bloodshed and to begin peace ne
gotiations; and it emphatically de
mands that the peace which follows
shall be permanent, and, therefore,
based upon Justice and principles
which include those adopted by this
congrr ess."
Suffragette Weary of Platitndea.
Some time before the congress had
been considerably upset by Mrs. Amy
Ltlllngston, of London, who declared:
"I was a suffragist and I remain a
suffragist. I suffered in Jail for it. I
.m just a plain English working woman,
but I represent millions of women who
favor the present Just war as much as
do the men. One hundred and eighty
women are said to be waiting at Til
bury to come to this congress to talk
peace. For every one of those, 1000
Knglish women are willing to accom
pany their sons and husbands to fight.
We are tired of the century-old silly
platitudes such as are uttered here."
Mrs. Lillingston insisted on continu
ing her speech until she was ruled out
of order. (
Demand for Embargo Iluled Oat.
Elizabeth Glendower Evans, of Bos
ton, and Rose Morgan French, of San
Francisco, moved and seconded an
amendment to the resolution referring
to armaments. The amendment urged
that all neutral nations immediately
place an embargo on the exports of
arms and ammunition.
Miss Addams said:
"I am glad to agree with Miss Evans'
Indictment, as much of that has hap
pened in America."
However, Miss Addams ruled that the
amendment was out of order.
GERMAN EMPRESS IS SAD
Quiet Visit Made to Hospitals in
Capital of Lower Alsace.
GENEVA, Switzerland, via Paris, April
JO. The German Empress, dressed in
mourning and looking pale and sad
paid a visit to Strassbutg. the capital
of Lower Alsace, last Tuesday and
visited threo hospitals where several
officer friends were lying wounded.
Her majesty left Strassburg on the
same night for Berlin.
She was accompanied by one woman
and received only the burgomaster at

AMSTERDAM, via London, April 30.
"The coast batteries at Zeebruggee
(in Belgium), on the coast of the North
Sea, were heavily engaged from 9:30
o'clock last night to 1 o'clock this
morning replying to a bombardment
from the sea," says a dispatch to, the
Telegraaf. "A thick mist prevented the
vessels engaged from being seen, but
that the bombardment was effective in
places is inferred from the numerous
fires that arose on the land."
According to the Nicuws van den
Dag, at noon today 30 shells were fired
from the sea on the Belgian coast.
LONDON, April 30. A British official
statement given out tonight says it is
not true that German warships have
bombarded Dunkirk, on the coast of
France. The statement, which was is
sued by the British press bureau, is as
follows:
"The rumor that German warships
bombarded Dunkirk is untrue. This
rumor probably originated in a mis
reading of the French official communi
cation issued yesterday."
Another British official statement
given out tonight said:
"The shelling of Dunkirk is reported
by aerial reconnaissance to have been
from a land gun, and the reports that
German warships were off that port
were due to a misapprehension."
MAYOR'S "BURGLAR" BIRD
Pheasant Is Discovered Wlien Cau
tious Investigation Is Made.
Mayor Albee would have been the
hero in a burglar capture at his home
early yesterday had It not been for the
fact that the supposed burglars turned
out to be nothing more deadly than a
pair of China pheasants seeking a nest
ing place.
The Mayor heard pounding in his
basement. Pictures of a bad man with
a "jimmy" flitted through his mind, and
he crept cautiously into the basement
to make a capture. To his surprise he
found a pair of China pheasants dili
gently pecking on the glass in the base
ment window. The only solution the
Mayor can think of In the case is that
the birds were seeking a place to build
a nest.
AUSTRIANS AGAIN RIOTING
Scarcity of Food Causes Disturb
ances in Scacoast Towns.
LONDON, April 30. Serious rioting
has occurred during the last few days
at Trieste and Austrian seacoast towns,
according to mail advices from Buda
pest received by the Post. The dis
turbances have been due largely to a
further increase in food prices and a
scarcity of flour resulting- from large
military requisitions.
The police on one occasion was re
ported to have charged a mob in a
suburb of Trieste, killing several and
wounding 300.

LONDON. April 30. The British War
Office tonight made public an official
communication concerning the opera
tions of the allies against the Darda
nelles: "The disembarkation of the army in
the Dardanelles began before sunrise
on April 23. f-ix different beaches were
used, and the operation was covered
by the whole fleet.
"The landing was Immediately suc
cessful on five beaches, although it
was opposed with" vigor by a strongly
entrenched enemy in successive lines
which were protected by barbed-wire
entanglements, in some places 50 yards
wide, and supported by artillery.
Meet and Army Act Toa-etber.
"On the sixth beach, near Seddul
Bahr, the troops could not advance
until evening, when a fine attack by
the British infantry from the direc
tion of Cape Tekeli relieved the pres
sure on their front.
"The arrangements for landing had
been concerted in ' the utmost detail
between the fleet and the army.
"The result of the first day's opera
tions was the establishment of strong
British, Australasian and French forces
at three points, namely, the Australian
and New Zealand troops on the lower
slopes of Sari Hair, to the north of
Gaba Tepe; of British troops at Cape
Tekeh, at Cape Holies and near Morto
Bay, and of a French force on the Asi
atic shore at Kum Kale, after a gal
lant attack toward Tenl Shehr.
Strong; Delenae Overcame.
"During thotaf ternoon of the 25th
strong counter-attacks by the enemy
began and hard fighting took place.
Meanwhile the disembarkation of the
array proceeded and was continually
favored by good weather.
"At daybreak on the "6th the enemy
was still holding the village and posi
tion of Seddul Bahr, which was a
labyrinth of caves, ruins, trenches, pita
and entanglements. Aided by the gun
fire of the fleet, this position was

SYRACUSE, N. Y"., April 30. Coun
sel for Theodore Roosevelt today placed
before the Jury trying William Barnes'
suit alleging libel, testimony designed
to indicate the existence of a bi-partisan
combination between Mr. Barnes,
as leader of the Republican organiza
tion, and Charles F. Murphy, as leader
of the Democratic organization.
To this end ex-State Senators Hln
man. Davenport and Newcombe, and ii.
C. McMillan, a former correspondent in
Albany for a New York' newspaper,
were placed on the witness stand.

Mr. Hinman, Mr. Davenport and Mr.

under consideration. Mr. Hinman testi
fied to the adjourning of the special
session.
Mr. McMillan swore that he saw Mr.

OHBNE
Friday's War Moves
AFTER serious fighting. In which
the Turks offered a stubborn re
sistance, British troops, according to
an official statement Issued last night,
have established themselves on the Gal
Upoli Peninsula and advanced a con
siderable distance toward the narrows
of the Dardanelles, while the French
have cleared Cape Kum Kale, on the
Asiatic side of the straits, of Turks.
Thus it may be said that the second
and most serious attempt to force the
Dardanelles has been fairly launched.
The Turks, under the guidance of
their German officers, placed every ob
stacle In the way of the Invaders, but
against the fire of the allied fleet and
the gallantry of the landing armies
they were forced to fall buck. The
British forces loat heavily in the oper
ation. Six points were selected for the land
ings, which began at daylight April
25. At five points they were imme
diately successful, but at the sixth,
near Seddul Bahr, the troops were un
able to advance until the evening.
While landing operations were pro
ceeding, the fleet, besides covering the
landing of the troops, kept up a bom
bardment of the forts in the Dardan
elles and prevented reinforcements
from reaching Turkey from tho Sea of
Marmora. One Turkish troopship was
funk by the British battleship Queen
Elizabeth, which is believed again to
have been firing her big guns across
the peninsula directed by airmen. The
troopship was sunk off Maldes. a town
well inside the narrows, which later
the battleship Triumph bombarded and
set on fire.
The official account of the landing
of the allied troops does not mention
operations off Smyrna or In the Gulf of
Saros against the Bulair line of forts,
but it ?s certain that these points are
being watched to prevent reinforce
ments reaching the Turks.
Besides tho news from the Dar
danelles, the British public was sup
piled with several sensations yester
day. Tho misreading of the day French
official communication led to the belief
that the German fleet was out and had
bombarded Dunkirk, on the North Sea,
In France; but it transpired that by
some means, not yet explained, the
Germans had brought their big land
guns within range of Dunkirk anO
thrown shells into it and killed 20 per
sons and wounded 45.
Another report had It that the Ger
mans had been seen off tho coast of
Belgium, but as British war craft w re
bombarding Zeebruggee during the
greater part of Thursday night, and
again yesterday, this seems doubtful.
At the other end of the Russian line
tho Russians are rei'orted to be con
tinuing to make slow progress in the
L'zsok l ass and to repulse Austrian
attacks on their flank in the direction
of Stry.
In the reply to the Zeppelin visit to
tho County of Suffolk, England, early
yesterday, allied airmen yesterday vis
ited Belgium and bombarded Oatend
and other towns and also attacked
towns in Southern Germany.
German submarines have shown a
slight revival In activity. They have
sunk the trawler Lilly Dale and the
collier Mobile. Gorman airmen, it la
said, dropped bombs, but without ef
frct. at the American steamer dishing.
