GERMAN SOCIALIST

"Barbarism."

London, March 20.-A wild scene oc-
Cured in the German Reichstag to-day
during the second reading of the bud
get, according to a Reuter- dispatch re-
ceved by way of Amsterdam. The
tumult was aroused by speech de-
livcrcd by Georg Ledebour, a Socialist
Deputy, who protested against "the mil
itary administration trying to German
ize portions Of French territory, from
which arises on the part of Asace-
Lorraine desire for French rule"
The statement was received with an
angry outburst on the part of the
Deputies.
When order had been temporarily
restored Herr Ledebour continued:
IL am Mortified to learn that for every
German village burned by the Russians
three Russian villages shall be burned.
Such a measure strikes not only at the
Russians, but at the Poles and Lith-
uanians, on whose cooperation we must
count"
Encouraged by members of his OWE
party, who shouted, Speak up in the
name of your party" Herr Ledebour
continued:
"The German policy must be such
that these peoples will see in Germany
a shield to and safeguard OF their
freedom As a Socialist and as Ger

interest of my beloved Fatherland and

Clemenceau Convinced England
viii Resort to Compulsory
Military Service.

Paris. March Ex-senator Georges
Clemenccau expressed the conviction
to-day that, owing 10 the impossibility
of Just now foreseeing how long the
war will last, England probably will
adopt a system of obligatory military
service VI. Clcmenceau points OUT that
the most eminent leader of the Amcri-

ing the supreme struggle of the war of
secession, was among the first of his
countrymen TO advocate compulsory
service. and to-day when Great Britain
and her allies are fighting for their
existence as nations and when they are
faced with the alternative OF ultimate
success or ruin, Britons OF every de-
scription, English, Irish, Scotch and
Welsh, should all accept obligatory
service for the army and navy, and
that the political leaders of England
cannot do better than follow the ex-
ample Of Abraham Lincoln, who, If
alive and under similar conditions,
would not shrink from demanding this
patriotic sacrifice in the hour of the
nations peril.

GERMANS SEIZE
NEUTRAL SHIPS
WITH CARGOES
Cargo of American Oil
Aboard Danish Vessel
Is COnfscated.
DUTCH STEAMER
TAKEN INTO PORT
Craft Laden with Eggs Escorted
Into Harbor of Zeebrugge by
Kaiser's Warship.

London, March 20.-A cargo OF oil
aboard the Danish steamer Bryssel has
been confscated by the German author
tiles in the Pomeranian seaport OF
Swinemunde. but the vessel has been
released, according to q dispatch from
Copenhagen.
The Dutch steamer Zaanstroom, with
a cargo Of eggs, dispatches from Rot
terdam say, has been stopped in the
North Sea by Germans and taken to
Zeebrugge.
"The feeling at Copenhagen over the
seizure of the Bryssel is that Ger
many's need Of oil does not justify the
seizure of the ships cargo.
The Bryssel was bound from Phila-
delphia for Stockholm with cargo Of
oil, and was stopped in the Baltic on
March II by German cruiser and
taken to Swinemunde. The vessel pre-
viously had arrived at Kirkwall and had
voluntarily submitted to an examina-
ton by the British authorities, who
permitted her to pass. She also put
into Elsinore, Denmark, where she re-
ceived declarations from the consig-
nees, certified by the Swedish authori-
ties, that the oil was destined for use
only in Sweden. A dispatch from Co.
penhagen, on March II, said it was be-
lieved at the Danish capital that the
Bryssel had been stopped by the Ger
mans because it was suspected that the
ship carried cargo other than that
which had been declared.
II has been ascertained that the
American steamer Maracas, now being
held at Hull for action by a British
prize court, was formerly the British
steamer Characteristics. and that she
was transferred to American registry
since the outbreak of the war. Her
owners to-day are the New York Trans
atlantic Steamship Company.
The Maracas left New York on Feb
ruary % for Rotterdam and Copen-
hagen with a cargo Of packing house
products. She has been detained at
Krkwall by the British naval authori-
ties since March II.
This is the second time the Maracas
has been taken into custody by the
marine authorities of Great Britain.
She was conveyed into Halifax by
prize crew from British wsrship early
in December. At this time she was on
her way from New York to Genoa.
Subsequently she was permitted to pro-
coed, assurances having been given
that no part of her cargo would be sent
to any country hostile to Great Brit
ain.
1t is reported that a Spanish ship
laden with iron ore and proceeding to a
German port has been captured by
British cruiser off Goodwin Sands, in
the Strait of Dover, and sent in to
Jarrow in charge of an armed crew.

tanning all commerce directly or indi-

its contrsband or non-contraband char

The note also asks for further in

BALTIC EXCHANGES
EYE ON DARDANELLES
Merchants Anxiously Scan News
Boards and Tickers for
Latest Information.

London, March 20.-The lombard
ment Of the Dardanelles and the pos
sible opening of the straits to mer-
chant vessels is an absorbing topic Of
conversation on the Baltic" Exchange,
and merchants anxiously scan the news
boards and tickers for any further in
formation regarding the operations OF
the Allies.
The Black Sea chartering market
has done little or no business for six
months. and there is much speculation
as 10 the quantity of grain ready for
shipment at Odessa, Nicolaief and
other ports, when the straits are open.
Some authorities claim that most of
the grain Is up country and that means
Of transport are lacking, while others
state that as soon as the route is de-
clared safe for navigation very large
shipments will be arranged, provided
there is any tonnage available.
Inquiries have already been made
for loading from both Russian and
Rumanian ports, and 40 to so shillings
a ton is about the rate expected TO be
charged for chartering vessels to the
United Kingdom, or Continent, when
the grain begins 20 move. Since the
commencement of the bombardment
prices Of grain generally here and in
the provinces have been distinctly
easier.

WEAKENED PRUSSIA
OBJECT OF ALLIES
Guyot Says Hohenzollerns
Must Have No Part in
NEGOTIATIONS.

London. March 10.--lf lasting peace
is TO be assured the Allies must not at
tempt to crush the German people, ac-
cording to Yves Guyot, former Minister
of Public Works in France.
In a recent address before the Ma
tional Liberal Club he said one OF the
first articles Of the peace preliminaries
should be the refusal to treat with any
member of the House of Hohenzoliern.
The German peasants, land owners and
manufacturers should be treasured that
the desire of the Allies was not TO
crush the German people, but, on the
contrary. TO extend the liberties of the
Germans only at the expense oil the
ruling family. ,.L
The imperial constitution by which
Tho Fmneror had obtained unlimited
mower and by which Prussia had be-
come the dominating state, must be
amended. he said. Prussia should be
restricted: the portion of Saxo.-J seiZed
by Prussia in 1915 should be returned
10 .Saxony; similarly, the annexations
of 1866 must be annulled, Frankfort
made free town, and the Rnehlsh
Province and Westphalia declared au-
tonomous states. :.
This would take the leadership OF
Germany from Prussia and establish
the European balance, by removal OF
the menace of the will of single per-
son.
The Allies, declared the speaker, had
no territorial ambitions in Germany
apart from the restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine TO France. The reconstruction
of Poland would offer the great advan-
taee of buffer state between Russia
and Prussia. The Allies should demand
the naturalization of the klel Canal,
like that of the Suez, and the treaty of
1859 should be completed, by which the
straits joining the Baltic 20 the North
Sea would be declared free waters.
Neutrals must be excluded from the
peace negotiations. and all other con-
siderations subordinated TO the elm
ination of the causes OF war, said NJ.
Guyot.
As to Turkey, there no longer exists
the same objections as formerly TO the
occupation Of Constantinople by Rus
STA. Germany's colonies must be di-
vided up between Great Britain, France
and Japan, he said.

PETROGRAD REPORTS
FALL OF MEMEL
Cars Official Report Finally
Tells of Capture of Baltic
Seaport by His Troops.

London. March 20.-The Germans,
who have been putting forth a stub
horn resistance in the vicinity OF Tau
rogen. on the north bank of the River
Niemcn. in Russian territory, have
been driven across the border into East
Prussia. This retirement clears the
northernmost part of Poland OF the IN
yading columns which swept into Rus-
sian territory a few weeks ago.
The official communication. issued TO-
night by the Russian General STAN
which brought the news Of the advance
Of the Grand Dukes forces into East
Prussia, opposite Taurogen' also con-
tanned the statement that Russian
force had entered the East Prussish
seaport of Memcl.
The occupation of Memel by the Rus-
SLAMS was admitted forty-eight hours
ago by German army headquarters
though all the previous bulletins issu-
irg from Petrograd had spoken OF tne
Russian advance in the north merei!
as approaching the town. t.,,
The drive across the border from
Taurogen is regarded by military eN-
ne,ts as of more importance than tne
soi7vro Of the seaport Of Memel: IL
brings the Russian column TO withih
striking distance of Tilsit and wlthlH
fifty miles of the great fortress u
Koenigsberg.
Tho snectacular achievements OF the
Russians in the north have served 20
obscure somewhat the Importance OF
the movements within the curve Of the
V;stula in Poland and in the Car
pathians, though the Grand Duhe
forces have, according TO the ueheiai
Stats report, inflicted some severe oe-
feats on the Austro-German forces III
the Galician mountains. -.
South of Gorlce the Russians deliV-
cred an attack which resulted IN the
capturc of eight hundred prisoners;
Near Moldowsko they took fortihed
hill. which the Austrians tried IN vain
TO recapture.
The Przemysl garrison has been
showing exceptional activity. On
Thursday morning the besieged troops
made a sortie in an easterly direction
on the Medyka- Bykow-Plezowlce 'front.',
and i'm the early afternoon was COM
relled TO retire without having sue
cceded in reaching the Russian
trenches.
The General Staff's report says that
the Russians have caDtured 5000 pris-
oners, including sevenay-elght ofhcers,
and seven machine guns.

WOMEN URGED TO
DO WORK OF MEN
Advice Given by Maurice Dom
nay, of Academy, in Lecture,
Likely To Be Followed.
by Gable to Tho Tribune. ]

Paris. March 20. Maurice Donnay, Of
the French Academy, lectured this af-
.ernoon on Partisan Woman of To-
day and of Yesterday" before an au-
dience of eight hundred persons, among
whom were the Ambassadors of the
United States, Great Britain and Rus
STA, the Minister of Public Instruction,
a large contingent Of ladies of all ages
and upward of fifty Americans.
The author of "Amants" and "L'Af-
franchie" made great hit by his vivid
descriptions of the Partisan midinette,
or sewing girl, during the war, having
discarded her bonnet of frivolity and
levity and become an earnest minded,
serious little girl, leavening all who APP
proach her with her patriotic ardor, all
ideas of frolic being banished from
her heart. so long as the Germans re-
main in France. NJ. Donnay pictured
smart society women sacrificing their
existence to work in hospitals in relief
of those in want, their devotion to
those at the front setting a glorious
example TO the nation.
The lecturer then made an eloquent
appeal to the women of France to put
themselves at the disposal OF the gov
eminent and country to replace the
men employed in many industries
where their skill and intelligence can
find full field and which do not re-
quire an excess of physical force. such
as employees in shops, restaurants,
cafes, state ammunition factories, gro
Gerry shops, bakeries, etc. Already
ticket collectors of tramways and met
ropolitan lines are replaced by women,
and the number of female cab drivers
and chaufreurs is increasing.
Maurice Donnay's idea aroused en-
thusiasm, with the prospect that it will
be taken up eagerly by the women in
Paris and throughout the country.
