u. S. AGAIN QUESTIONS BRITISH
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The state department has
sent to the British government a request for an explana
tion as to why the American steamer Greenbrier from
New Orleans to Bremen, Germany, with cotton cargo
certified by the British consul at New Orleans, has been
stopped by a British cruiser and sent under a British flag
to a British port where it was detained for two days be
fore being permitted to proceed on its journey to the Ger
man coast This incident is regarded as the most serious
of all the incidents connected with shipping since the war
began Cotton shippers and public men from the cotton
states, like Governor Colquitt of Texas, have made violent
attacks on the administration for permitting such inter
ference with cotton shipments anil the administration is
evidently being placed in a position where it must act
promptly.
DUTCH VESSEL SUNK
THE HAGUE, Jan. 20.—The Dutch naval patrol boat
Toitan was destroyed yesterday near the coast of
Holland by a floating mine. Five of the crew were killed.
Many more occurrences of this kind are expected as re
ports from all the coast towns are to the effect that float
ing mines are scattered everywhere so that the greatest
care must be exercised.
AUSTRIANS CALL OLD MEN
BUDAPEST, Jan. 20.—The entire Landsturm men
of Austria have been called to the colors by Austria. 1 his |
new force includes men up to the age of sixty unless they j
are suffering from the effects of old age. It means an ad
dition of hundreds of thousands to the armed force of the
empire but these latest additions to the army will prob->
ablv be used for defense or even less dangerous purposes.!

(By The Associated Press. >
LONDON, Jan. 17.—A general cen
sus of Belgian refugees in England
has been ordered that King Albert’s
cabinet may know where the Bel
gians subject to military service are
quartered. ,
It has been estimated that 20,000
Belgians of military age came to
England, but such estimates are nec
essarily inaccurate. In the rush from
Antwerp and Ostend it was impossible
to keep any accurate records. Many
of the refugees wha hud money came
independent of any organized agency
and consequently the government of
Belgium and England have no
knowledge of their movements.
The employment of Belgians in
England has raised many stubborn
questions. Relief committes have not
encouraged Belgians to accept em
ployment where they would compete,
with English labor and there has been
a studied effort on the part of Eng
lish committees throughout the island
to prevent Belgians from accepting a
lower wage than that ordinarily paid
to Englishmen or Englishwomen.
In France the refugees have almost
invaluably found employment, especi
ally the men of all ages. The French
men have nearly all gone into the
service, w'ith the result that Belgians
who have any knowledge of railroad
ing, bridge building, electrical con
struction or engineering work of any
sort are instantly put to work.
Some Belgians have been leaving
England for the United States, but
