GERMAN PAPERS
FEARJTRIKE
Widespread Apprehension of
May Day Demonstration
Violence Is Feared.
STERN WARNING ISSUED
Berlin Seething With Strike
Agitation Caused by Food
Conditions and Prices.
COPENHAGEN, April 27, via Lon
don, 1.04 p. m. German newspapers
today indicate widespread apprehen
sion of a possible May day strike.
A proclamation from Chancellor von
Bethmann-Holhveg, addressed formal
ly to the. federal states, but really to
labor, contains both appeal and a stern
warning against further interference
with the munitions work.
A manifesto from the four big mi
ners unions warns their members
against reckless and regrettable action
because of unsatisfactory food condi
tions. "Don't permit yourselves in those
grave times to bo dragged into riot
ing and strikes," Is the keyn6te of the
manifesto, showing that not merely an
orderly demonstrative walkout, but ac
tual vlolonce Is feared in the great
mining and manufacturing districts of
Westfalen and Silesia.
Great Effort to Obtain Men.
Finally there is another official an
nouncement that a great combing out
of tho war Industries Is necessary to
revive men for the army. This gives
tho government any needed justifica
tion for sending to tho front muni
tions workers who yield to tempta
tion. All in all, a strong ferment is work
ing even among the laboring masses,
caused by food conditions, including
the reduction of rations and the ex
treme cost of living. This view Is con
firmed by an American business man
who has just succeeded in leaving Ger
many and who, though ignorant of the
indications given by the German news
papers of yesterday and today, told the
Associated Press correspondent that
Berlin was still seething with strike
feeling and that the impression was
widespread that there will be another
strike outbreak on May day.
Persons horo familiar with condi
tions in Germany, however, express
the belief that tho German authorities
will bo able to cope with the situation.

Petrograd Crowd Drives So

Small Riot Occurs.
i
GERMANY PAYS ORATORJ
Rank and File Generally Re
pudiate Pacifist Element
Full Victory Desired.
PETROGRAD, April 26, via London,
April 27, 8:45 a. m A small riot was
precipitated last night when a crowd
drove the audience of the Socialist Le
nino in the street as a protest against
his exhortations for a separate peace
and his attacks on the provisional gov
ernment. A score of Lenine's follow
ers were arrested, but the agitator
himself remains at liberty, as the gov
ernment fears that his arrest would
make him a martyr.
Lenlne, who recently returned from
exile through Germany, has become
the leader of a faction of Socialists
who desire the end of the war. He is
living in the palace of the dancer,
Ksheeshinska, a former favorite of the
emporor, from the balconies of which
he dally and nightly harangues his
followers. It is generally assumed that
he is in the pay of Germany.
Rank and File Object.
With the new freedom of speech in
the press and assembly there is a de
luge of new dailies and periodicals
and numberless conferences and con
ventions of peoples of all trades, pro
fessions and callings. The separate
peace element appears to be concen
trated in the group under Lenine's
domination. Their views are quite
generally repudiated by the rank and
file of the Socialists and working
classes and even by the Socialist
peace party, which Is working for a
unanimous cessation of the war. On
the question of peace the newly es
tablished Workingmen's Gazette says'
"Every day tho bourgeois newspa
pers Tepeat the same thing, namely,
that peace without annexation means
a separate peace and that those op
posed to a separate peace must con
tinue the war to a full victory and the
ruin of German militarism and impe
rialism. That Is an error. We do not
want a separate peace, because Bel
gium, Serbia and Franco would bo vic
tims of such a peace."
The paper then outlines the peace
conditions which it advocates and
which are based on a restoration of
the previous map of Europe and full
freedom for all nations.

GERMAN PLAN
TO ELUDE ALLIES
French Writer Explains Why
Army Widened Their
Recent Attack.
BOTH WINGS INVOLVED
Germans Lose 100,000 Men in
First Two Days of
Fighting.
PARIS. April 27, 4:50 a. m. Under
the caption "Why we attacked," a writ
er in the Matin points out that before
tho present forward movement began
the German plan undoubtedly was to
escape from the grasp of tho allies.
He continues:
"To frustrate this plan the French
widened their attack so as lo overlap
tho front on which the Germans were
retreating. The result was that the
enemy found both his wings involved.
He decided to fight on the first line
and the French plan was altered to
suit
"The result of the first and second
days' fighting was that the Germans
lost fully 100.000 men and what was
moro Important, were obliged to en
gage thirty-three out of their forty
three reserve divisions.
Dearly Bought Results.
The dearly bought, but valuable, re
sults of tho Alsne and Champagne op
erations are mus:
"First, the enemy was prevented
from carrying out his own plan, thus
disposing of tho famous Hindenburg
scheme which was to be followed on
the conclusion of the retreat from Nay
on; second, the enemy was obliged to
order his troops to hold out on the first
line, but the whole line has been cap
tured, a tactful success to which must
be added heavy losses In men, material
and guns."

Settlement of Irish Question H
Essential to Speedy Vic- H

IRELAND IS NEEDED H
Must Be Converted From Dan- H
gerous Suspicious Neighbor H
to Loyal Comrade. H
LONDON, April 27, 2:26 p. m. In H
an Important speech at the Guild Hall fl
today, Premier Lloyd George discussed H
the military situation, the Irish ques- M
Lion and other of the major problems M
with which the government is now en- M
gaged. Tho premier's speech was in M
acknowledgment of the conferring on M
him of the freedom of tho city of Lon- H
Referring to Ireland, the premier
said: M
"Wo must convert Ireland from M
a suspicious, surly, dangerous neigh- H
bor to a cheerful, loyal comrade. Set- H
tlement of the Irish question is essen- M
tial for the peace of the world and es- H
scntial to a speedy victory in the war.
I appeal to the patriotism of all men H
to sink everything for tho one purposo H
of getting this question out of tho H
After alluding to the organization of H
the ministry of munitions, the pre- H
micr said: H
Real Chance In Fight. H
"Now, thank God, our men have a H
real chance in the fighL The Btory jH
now is very different from what it was H
in the early stages of tho war. Be- H
fore June, 1915, wo lost 84 guns and H
a considerable number of prisoners. H
Since that date wo have not lost a H
single gun, while we have captured H
400. Regarding prisoners, we have ta- H
ken at least ten to one. The tide has H
now turned. Victory is coming in- H
creasingly nearer. H
"During the first eighteen days of H
the Somme battle we captured 11,000 H
prisoners and eighty-four guns Dur- H
ing the first eighteen days of the Ar- H
ras battle our captures wero 18,000 H
men and 230 guns, whilo we gained H
four times as much ground. This jH
meant not only ultimate victory. It H
meant victory is going to be won at H
less loss and our chances are growing M
as our equipment is improving and the H
Germans know It. That is the explana- H
tion of the despair which has driven H
them to black piracy on the high seas. H
Enormous Food Problem. M
"This is the next job we have to H
deal with. Our minimum problem is H
to feed a population of 45.000,000 in H
a country which is not self-supporting, M
to provide the necessary material and M
food to equip our armies and keep the H
seas free for the transport of our IH
troops, of ourselves and our allies. M
That has had to be done against tho H
swarm of pirates moving unseen under H
the trackless seas, since tho Germans jH
determined to sink all craft indiscrini- H
mately without warning. There is no H
doubt we have lost many ships, but H
they brought America in and I am per- M
fectly satisfied with the balance. Anier- H
lea, after great patience, came to the M
conclusion there was no use of wav- M
ing a neutral flag in the teeth of a M
shark and she is definitely with us to M
put down this menace once for all." M
"The best brains of America and M
Britain are concentrated on this prob- M
lem. There never was a human prob- M
lem which was not solved." M
Dealing with the effort to make tho 1
country self-supporting, the premier 1
said guarantees to the farmer and tho 1
farm laborer had brought a million 1
fresh acres of land under cultivation. H
Germans Are Determined. M
"1 do not say that the war Is going H
to continue through 1918," Mr. Lloyd- H
Georgo said, "but if the Germans knew M
that by holding out until tho end of iH
1918 they could win. they would hold H
out. If tho German knows that the M
longer he holds out the worse It will H
be for him, peace will como much ear- M
Tho premier said plans were be- B
ing made for the harvest of 1918 which H
would guaranteo that without a ton M
of foodstuffs coming from abroad no M
one would starve. But tho country H
must help In husbanding foodstuffs. M
Tons of Imports Cut Off. H
The premier then outlined the steps H
already taken by which 11,000.000 tons H
of Imports would be cut off and added H
that Great Britain would ge three H
times, perhaps four times, as many H
new ships this year as last. H
He continued: 1
"Tho Germans think we arc done H
for, but they do not know the race H
they arc dealing with. I am confident H
that if our present program is carried M
