U. S. MINISTER
TO BELGIUM IS
HEARD FROM
Brand Whitlock Remained Be
hind in Brussels. Persuaded
City’s - Burgomaster Not to
Fight.
Washington. - Brand Whitlock, the
American minister to Belgium, from
whom nothing has been heard for
several days, finally succeeded today
In getting a cablegram through to the
American government from Brussels,
which he reported In German hands
but completely “surrounded by armies
engaged in active operations."
Mr. Whitlock did not move the
American legation when the Belgian
seat of government was taken to
Antwerp, hut remained behind with
most of the other neutral ministers.
It develops that the American minis
ter and the Spanish minister per
suaded the Brussels burgomaster not
to make a fight because of the fatal
consequences of a bombardment ol
the city.
Duty Lay There.
Mr. Whltloek’A telegram dated yes
terday in part reads:
“Acting under the discretionary
powers granted. 1 decided that my
duty lay here In Brusels. The Span
ish minister reached the same con
clusion, as did the ministers of sev
enteen other neutral powers.
"Already entrusted with German
interests here, I subsequently took
over the British legation and the pro
tection of a large resident British col
ony
Thanked by Germans.
“Owing to the disinterested position
of the United States, T have rendered
services for which I have been thank
ed by the German commanding gen
eral. by representatives of the British
colony, by the Inter-parliamentary
union and by an official of the Bel
gian foreign office on behalf of the
king. As I reported to the depart
ment, the Spanish minister and I
marie representations to the burgo
master before the occupation of Brus
sels which, in connection with other
considerations, led him to abandon
his Intention of attempting a futile
defense of the city ”
LABOR OF U. S.
PART IN IR
Time for Labor and Capital
to Forget its Differences. Re
sponsibility Confronts Nation.
Scenectady, N. Y. —Gov. Martin 11.
Glynn in an address here today be
fore the New York State Federation
of Labor doelared, in referring to the
effect of the European war on this
country, that it was time for capital
and labor to forget their differences
nnd unite to meet the great respon
sibility confronting the nation.
"Today the weflare of the world,”
he said, "Is in the hands of the Amer
ican worker. Today civilization’s sole
hope lies in the energy of those who
labor In America's Today
the manhood of America guards the
gates of peace to keep the world from
famine nnd to preserve for all man
kind the accumulated achievements of
centuries of endeavor.
•'lt Is a time that should call fotrh
the best of every American citizen. It
Is unthtnkuble that the mnsters of
Industry should seek to forget the re
sponsibilities that rest upon them;
and It would be unpardonable for the
workers of America to seize the pres
ent situation us a pretext for extra
vagant demands upon the Industries
In which they are employed."
