May I Seen by Washington
as Kaiser's Day of Doom

Tageblatt, which says "a renewal
OF the strike of munition workers on
May day is being discussed in some
munitions workers circles"
To add flames to the tinder Of revo-
luton already existing in Germany,
comes the announcement through the
American Department of State OF the
formation in Berne, Switzerland. of a
we'll financed committee for propa-
ganda in favor of the establishment OF
a republican form OF government in
Germany.
General Groener, head of German
munitions factories. il is true. has
announced that all further attempts
at munitions strikes will be ruthlessly
suppressed with bullets.
But this merely adds to the prob
ability of real revolution.
In all history no great strike Of de-
teTmined starving workers has ever
I been suppressed by bloodshed
II the May day strikes Of the Ger
/ mans run true to form the blood OF
1 the strikers will be the signal for
widespread revolt that will tax Prus-
sian militarism to the utmost
The Russian revolution began as a
series Of food strikes and did not
reach the stage Of popular revolt un-
, iii strikers were shot down.
What the outcome will be, depends
on how far the German private
soldier has been brutalized by Prus'
sian miIitariSm.
II the German soldier is still as
human as the soldiers of Russia, nc
will not fire into the mobs Of his
starving brothers and sisters especi
ally when he too is starving; bu
with the evidence of Belgium as wit
ness Of the brutality to which German
privates may be driven under orders
of their officers, no one dares pred'c
that even the mothers would b'
spared il the order to fire should b'
given.
On this unpredictable factor turns
the fate of Germany and the hOpe
! for early peace.
Whatever may be the ultimate out
come. mark May 1 down in red a
the day on which the fate Of Kaise
, Wilhelm and the line of the Hohen
zollerns will be in the balance.
