Discomfort in Germany

TT is matter for surprise that the Ger
1 man government has suspended the publ
cation of the Socialist newspaper, Vorwaerts
The surprising thing is that the government
considering the attitude recently adopted by
the Norwaerts, should have manifested so
much patience.
For Norwaerts has been recalcitrant Not
only has it rebuked soundly the greed of the
ruling and moneyed classes of Berlin and the
empire but ii has not hesitated to imply that
a large share OF the responsibility for high
prices, war profits, unprincipled trading and
ruthless landlordism should be laid at the
door of the government
The Socialist organ has been filled with
stories of the sufferings of members of SOL
diers families. A pathetic recital of the case
OF soldiers wife. about to he thrown into
the street for nonpayment of rent and lacking
the bare necessities of life, features a recent
issue This says Vorwaerts, lis not the
right way to treat the wives of soldiers at the
front The bloodsuckers must be dealt with
This is not the time to ask these poor women
to make sacrifices In future sacrifices must
come from others"
Small wonder that the voice Of Vorwaerts
has been stilled and that the Socialist masses
OF Germany are forced to look elsewhere for
information and guidance.
But Vorwaerts has not been alone in
mournful comment. Says the Frankfurter
Zeitung:
While our troops fighting like the
heroes OF the classical ages. want is
growing acute ut home. where people
are beginning to interpret the miserable
existing conditions the defeat Of tho
empire. We jccred 1T the blockade. but
