PROTEST GERMANY’S BLOCKADE
STOCKHOLM, Feb, 13.—Sweden, Denmark and Nor

in the north of Germany. The three nations are now
working in harmony as a result of the conference between
the three kings some time ago. The answer of Germany
to the protest has not yet been received.
PARIS, Feb. 13.—The chamber of deputies yesterday

FIGHTING IN THE WEST
LONDON, Feb. 13—French trenches to the north of
Verdun have been captured by the Germans and the
French attack on the German fortress of Metz has failed.

UKttA l AIK KAIU
LONDON, Feb. 13.—Thirty-four aeroplanes of the al
lied forces raided Bruges, Ostend and Zeebrugge last
night and inflicted considerable damage on those towns.
One of the airmen was brought down by the German guns
but he was rescued. Three of the aeroplanes were damag
ed but on the whole the raid effected about all it was in
tended for. The fleet of airships was made up of French,
Germans and Belgians.
PORTUGAL RAISES ARMY
LISBON, Feb. 13.—The government has decided to
put an army in the field to aid the allies against the Ger
mans and Austrians. One hundred thousand men are
ready to march and they will probably be sent to France
unless there is some other field in which their help would
be required. It is admitted that the difficulty of landing
such a large force in the war area will be great and danger
from German submarines will be considerable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—An inquiry has been sent
by this country to Germany regarding a complaint by
Mininster Van Dyke that the diplomatic communications
between this country and Luxemburg are being interfered
with bv the German military authorities.

PORTLAND, Maine, Feb. 13.—A large force of
policemen and watchmen is now guarding the property
of the Grand Trunk railroad here as a report has been cir
culated that a plot exists to destroy the property of the
company here and to blow up the bridges between this
state and Canada. According to the rumors the plot has
been hatched by a secret German society in New York but
the information given out shows that the story is rather
a hazy one.
