SMALLPOX s P r E A D s
OVER GERMANY; POOR
ARE NOT BEING FED

Washington, March 22.-Thirty
thousand cases of smallpox rage in
Germany and the disease is spreading,
according to the speech of Socialist
Reichstag Member Hoffman, received
by the state department today in full.
Brief portions of the speech were re-
ceived by the press in this country re-
Gently.
The full text showed that Hoffman
charged that the rich were getting
the fats while the poor had none; that
the government was actually boarding
sausages with which the poor ought to
be fed that smallpox is spreading
rapidly and that the vaccination en-
ployed against it was proving futile.
The speech showed a far more dis
tressing situation in Germany than
many reports thus far reaching the de-
partment.
1t strengthened the belief, caused by
recent rumors, that conditions are ripe
TOR real revolution in Germany.

trees were sufficiently hacked to in
sure their death.
The Germans stripped every village
of all metal. They tore the tin gut
ters and plumbing from all houses,
took off the metal roofs; pilfered the
churches of clocks and bells.
In the country districts all agricul-
tural implements and machinery were
either carried off or broken.
SAcklNG THE TOWNS.
During the weeks preceding the re-
treat Nthe Germans followed a sys-
tematic policy of forcing the inhabit-
ants of half dozen surrounding viii
lagos to gather in some larger town
where the American relief commits
sion had a distributing center Then
the refugees would be informed that
the American commission would sup
ply their wants-and the Germans
would sack the towns.
At Noyou, owing to the concentra-
ton of 10000 women and children, the
Germans promised to leave the Ameri-
can commission sufficient supplies to
feed the refugees.
Nevertheless, departing patrols
sacked the American commission
storehouse, carrying off all edibles.
Then they dynamited the building and
finally diverted water from the canal
into the village. Part of the city was
flooded and ruined in this fashion.
NO MEAT IN 1s MONTHS.
The population of Noyon said they
had not eaten a scrap of meat in IS
months.
The most minute preparations
marked the German retreat. Success
sive lines of resistance for the rear
guard were dug very few hundred
yards from Noyon to Tergnier.
Nevertheless, everywhere there was
evidence that the French arrived be-
fore they had been expected. The
French troops were able to cut many
wires to unexpioded mines. In many
cases also the Germans did not have
time to complete their mining opera
tions.

GERMANY EXPECTED TO
DECLARE WAR INANSWER
TO AMERICAS ACTION

London, March ga declara-
ton of war by Germany against
America within the next few days
would not surprise British Off
Gals. From various meager bits
of news filtering out of Germany
today, such a step was indicated.
One report via Amsterdam had
1t that German officials had
warned American newspaper men
In Berlin that a state of war was
expected within As hours.
In the viewpoint of many Off
Gals the present week may be
the turning point of the war.
America has apparently definite
ly cast the die against Germany.
The Teutonic retreat on the west
ern front is now reaching the new
"Hindenburg line" Persistent re-
ports continue of violent rioting in
Germany, which may yet be re-
vealed as definite movement by
the German people against mill
taristic government.
London received news of Presi-
dent Wilson's call for an extra
ordinary session of congress
without undue emotion. 1t had
been long expected. Press and
public believed it was the response
to the overt act by war. The
Daily Telegraph regarded the
presidents action as ".the turning
point in the worlds history"

INTERNED GERMAN
SHIPS COULD LEAVE

Washington, March 22.-Scores of
German merchant vessels. represent
ing hundreds of thousands of tons of
shipping, now in American harbors,
are free to depart II tho United States
goes to war with Germany, it was
learned officially today.
In fact, these ships could leave now
under International law, it was Of
ficially pointed out, provided they
could each show "clean bill of health
as to intent, ETC."
Furthermore, all such ships would
have a leeway of nine months following
a war declaration in which to re-equip
damaged engines and parts and take
leave.
The United States government would
seize them on one condition-that
every one is paid for in full measure.
This was the status of these ships al
outlined to the United States by the

London, March 22.--The movement
on the western front was coming to a
standstill today, as French and British
troops reached points very near the
"HinGenburg line" Fighting between
marching masses may now be expect
ed shortly to occur. according to mill
tary experts. This lighting may come
in a German offensive. Such a move
was reported in Holland dispatches to-
day as having been decided upon by
the German general staff for April 5.
Meanwhile dispatches from the front
indicated the tremendous scope of the
forward movement of the allied armies
"a co-ordinated advance of every de-
partment of vast attacking force.

NO FIGHT IN HOUSE.

NO FIGHT IN HOUSE.
owing to the nature of the present
situation, it is believed the fight for
organization will be short lived in the
house 1t is believed probable that
some course Of action will be agreed
upon by leaders before April 2.
The president can address congress
before the house organizes, but until
It organizes no action could be secured
on any resolution the president might
ask It is for this reason that efforts
now are under way by both parties to
make all possible speed, and some
sacrifices. if necessary, to expedite
organization of the house.
SITUATION IN GERMANY.
But even while the president was
considering his war address," the at
tention of officials and diplomats was
today directed sharply to internal de-
velopments in Germany. With reports
of increasingly serious food riots and
growing restiveness among the Ger
man people, came rumors of possible
peace moves, emanating from Teuton
quarters.
Comment of the entente press was
also read with an eye to distinguish
ing any ear marks of a general weak
ening all through Europe to the pres
sure for peace.
While confident that the entrance of
the United States into the struggle will
probably serve either directly or indi-
rectly to materially shorten the war,
officials believe it will be July before
the first-if any-real strides toward
peace are registered.
CLOSE EYE ON RUSSIA.
The Russian situation is being
watched closely now that the United
States is on the verge OF actual war.
For many months there have been
elements at work in Russia of which
the United States was aware and
which, had they been successful, would
have created almost insurmountable
difficulties in the path OF this coun-
try's entrance into the war.
Revolution disposed of these sinis-
ter elements, but concern is held now
that there may be still further move
ments among the more radica! revo-
lutionists.

ing to inspire fear from the
French that all territory which
Germany would relinquish
would be treated similarly, and
thus lead the French to con-
slider peace.
