FIERCE RIOTING FOLLOWS
LAUSANNE FLAG INCIDENT
A. P. A. Service.
GENEVA, Jan. 30.—Notwithstand
ing the presence of hundreds of troops
in Lausanne, fierce rioting has broken
out following the Incident occurring
Thursday when an angry mob attack
ed the German consulate and destroyed
the German flag raised by the consul
In honor of the kaiser’s birthday.
Although the matter was seemingly
disposed of by the dispersal of the
mob, public resentment against what
Is looked upon by the people as an
affront, resulted In a great crowd gath
ering near the consulate the following
morning apparently intent on further
depredations. These were again dis
persed by the troops but appeared
again after an Interval and commenced
a demonstration which was suppressed
only with difficulty. The disturbances
were renewed at intervals during Frl-,
day and Saturday and several fierce
riots have occurred and hundreds of
arrests were made.
A strong guard of troops is now en
gage in protecting the consulate. The
government is much preturbed at the
situation fearing complications with
Germanly. Apologies for th# Insult to
the flag have been forwarded to Berlin
but no answ-er has so far been received
which is looked on as omlnlous.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Notwith
standing the opposition of several In
fluential senators, Including many of
the southern delegation, the senate
pased the emergency appropriation bill
carrying the two million dollar appro
priation for the Alaska railroad and
it nows needs only the signature of the
presldent to become effective.
Contrary to expectations the oppos
ing senators offered but slight opposi
tion to the measure. Several of the
, solons protested against the railroad
appropriation on general grounds but
t'.at was all.
C. rgress Is still engaged in marking
time and the principal activities are
directed to diseussons of the prepared
ness issue and to suggestions concern
ing ways and means for Increasing the
national defenses. The volume of
| business transacted is negligible.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 2!).—The p~esl
dent’s address in support of the pre
paredness program delivered here last
night was couched in tones of selemn
warning to fhe Americans peopls that
they must be prepared to face the
1 new conditions with which the country
is confronted and to defend thetttselves
| from whatever dangers may arise In
j the future.
| The president warned the American
I people that new circumstances and
, conditions have arisen for which the
(country must prepare itself and asked
| that all give their attention to the
I business of preparation. "Not for war.
I not for aggression, but for national
defense."
The listening audience were gwavely
warned that perils may be Just ahead
which threaten serious danger to Am
erica. The president asserted that few
understood the real gravity of these
dangers because they were not visible
on the surface "The gra% e and con
stant struggle abroad has now lasted
a year and a half," lie said, "and the
end is not yet. All the while things
are getting more difficult to handle
and the turmoil of conflicting Inter
seat Is dally becoming greater. What
i tl*> end will be. despite our careful
1 shorts, none conconjecture. Peace has
! bttn maintained at time* only with

tinuing we are dali forced to confront
the possibility of becoming Involved
