GERMANS CIVIL STRIKE
Refusing to Return to Factories, Mu-
milton Workers May be Called to
COlOrs.

"A pail of silence has fallen over
the central empires, serving to ac-
centuate the reports of grave inter-
nal troubles. In spite Of the asser-
tions Of the German press that toe
great Berlin strike, which involved at
least 100000 workers, it over, there
is evidence that the agitation is con-
tinuing. The Berlin Tageblatt admits
that the members of two of the mu'.
milton workers unions have refused
to return to work, and says that those
who persist in their refusal will be
called to the colors.
The meager light which sits
through the veil of the German CEN
sorship disappears entirely in the
case of Austria. Following persistent
reports that Count Tisza, Premier OF
Hungary, and foremost exponent In
the dual monarchy of the German
idea, has resigned, all information as
TO conditions in Vienna or Budapest
ceased. The one thing that appears
certain is that the socialists and rad!-
calls in both empires have recently
drawn much closer together, and that
inflammatory language is being used
with an impunity inconceivable In the
earlier days of the war.
In the meantime, the revolutionary
spirit, which is rampant throughout
Europe, has given a sensational de-
'monstration in Sweden. The food sit
uation is ostensibly the scause OF the
remarkable events in Stockholm,
where a great multitude of workers
tried to force their way into the PaI-
lament Building. The fact that there
were unrebuked shouts for republic
and that the ominous word "revolu-
tion" was freely used, gives another
aspect to the affair. The royal castle
is under guard, and more serious out
breaks are predicted for May l..
While the revoluticnlsts gather
headway and audacity in the monar-
chical kingdoms of Europe, the arm
;es of the British and French demo-
cracies are massing their guns and
shells for another tremendous thrust
AGAINST the German lines IN France.
There is nothing defn:Tee to indicate
where the blow will fall, but the
general opinion in the allied capitals
;s that General Haig is about to make
another great effort to smash his
way through to Cambrai and Doual
Pending these developments, public
interest has been keenly aroused 0!
the cryptic words of Lord Curzon
member of the British war council
"Keep your eye on Mesopotamia".
The uninterrupted successes of the
British forces in the Valley of thu
Tigris, who are now some eight!
miles north of Bagdad, nave givel
rise to the hope that Lord Curzon'
words are prediction of some over
whelming blow against the shattere'
forces of the Sultan. The main Turk
ish forces are at present practically
surrounded by the British and Rus
sian armies, and their road OF re
treat lies across an almost impassabl
desert.
