WHAT is GOING ON
IN GERMANY
AS Told by the Newspapers
We Get From the Teutonic
Empires and Neutral
Nations.
.WOMEN OF
AWAY WITH EARRINGS!"

aWOMEN OF GERMANY,
AWAY WITH EARRINGSw
The Deutsche zeitung begs German
women to make another sacrifice to
assure victory. It says:
1.-THE Netherlands financial and
economic conditions are such that mo-
body is justified in clinging to the
possession of luxuries. The Father
land needs gold, and we therefore
raise the cry: Women of Germany,
away with your earrings!'
THE opportunity has now arrived
for our women to divest themselves
but a remnant of prehistoric bar
barism, and to place-it on the national
altar.
LET English and French coauettes
and flirts adorn themselves with this
savagery. Our women, however, must
raise themselves above 1t, rejecting
that in sacrificing this last remaining
link with their savage ancestors and
their half civilized foreign sisters,
they serve not only the Fatherland,
but also the u Of Kultur."
NO MORE LAUNDRY
SOAP IN BERLIN.
Voss's Gazette prints a lament from
a housewife saying soap for washing
clothes is now practically unobtain-
able in Berlin. "sThe government fix
ed maximum prices for SOAP she
writes, "but there's no soap" She
the nations underwashed linen Is
suffering in consequence is a c~ostlier
affair than If fats were imported from
abroad at fancy prices.
PROFESSORS AT BONN
WANT NO PEACE
Practically the whole teaching
staff, rs in number. Of the. University
OF Bonn has signed the following
manifesto:
trsince our governments peace Of
fer has been rejected, and the recent
resolution of the Reichstag has been
answered by a mouthpiece Of the Eng
fish state with the demand that we
should withdraw our troops to the
right bank Of the Rhine. we consider
any further German peace offer to be
Injurious. We disapprove of the ac-
ton OF any political party which
makes its attitude in foreign policy
dependent upon political concessions
IN Germany. We hold absolutely
firm to the monarchial foundation of
Prussian state and to thenfederal
character Of the German empire. We
trust thai in the peace which it will

CAN'T GET GERMANS
TO REVOLT, SAYS WRITER.
Julius Borchardt, a Social DEM
ocratic deputy, has written a pam
phlet called Hopes of Revolution"
IN which ne riddles the theories or
people abroad who believe Germany,s
working classes will some day ere
volt n establish popular governs
ment. He writes:
WHO really believes in a revolution
IN Germany? For months I have
been comforting with Socialist com
rades OF the most divergent opinions
and nave not found a single one who
actually thinks the German working
men Will ever organize a, revolution
Everybody is Convinced that the con-
Etrary Is the case. Anybody who
comes In close contactvwith our. work
Ing classes, whether with the masses
IN uniform or in the munition fac
tories, or in the street, knows these
masses can be commanded TODD any-
th1ng-exceptFto make a revolution
There have, Of course, been spas
modic outburts OF discomfort and
some broken windows, and there will
be such things in the future. But
that Is not a revolution which will
paralyze the army from within. ANY,
BODY who takes such a possibility in
TO serious consideration is simply a
fool" :
