is interesting in view Of a dispatch

that the munition factories we're az.
fected The Tageblatt says, however.
that the great munition industry at
Spandau has not been involved.
Reports in all the Berlin newspapers
which have arrived here agree that
the demonstrators were usually orderly
although roughs resorted to occasional
window breaking. Soldiers and police
were used In cordOns thrown about
the Inter Der Linden and the impe.
rial castle.
Great crowds gathered in the neigh
borhood Of the castle during the day

sibility for the food situation Even
Socialist leaders who opposed the
strike made It evident to the authori
ties that a further curtailment Of ra.
tions from any cause could not be
borne
The Vorwaerts, alone OF the big
Berlin papers, ventured this morning
to comment editorially on the strike.
It said that the demonstration was
based not only on the food situation
and the demand that internal reforms
be no longer delayed, but also on the
deep longing of the people for peace.
While claiming that the peace senti-
ment has a decisive role In the move
ment, the Vorwaerts argues that the
strike cannot be regarded as anti.gov-
ernmental since the Austrian and Ger
man declarations justify the hope that
the policy OF the central powers Is now
on a path which will soon lead TO
peace.

Cannonade Heard at Stations in Cape
Cod Region During Morning Caused
No End Of Speculation Throughout
the Country-May Be Battle.

Boston, April 1S.-Reports Of heavy
gun fire at the entrance OF Massachu.
setts Bay sent a thrill along the coast
today. Three coast guard stations on
Cape Cod successfully reported To the
navy yard here that they had count.
ed distinct and repeated guns from
the north and northeast of the cape
1t was believed at the navy yard
that American vessels were engaged
with the enemy. Inside the cape a
heavy fog hung over the waters. No
warship was sighted by the three sta
tions and after thirty minutes the fir
ing ceased.
II was also suggested that ships OF
the allies which are constantly or
patrol duty might have come up with
friendly warships and salutes been ex
changed. However, naval men could
not understand warships on active
duty betraying their location through
naval etiquette. They believed that
there would be no salutlng unless pre-.
arranged and of which there was no
knowledge at the navy yard.
Subsequent attempts to learn some
thing more definite failed, and an
explanation Of the firing awaited re.
ports from war vessels in the vicinity
The navy yard had no information
except that received from the coast
guard stations. Newspaper correspond
ents on the cape said reports Of gun
fire were current, but all OF these were
traced to the messages received at the
navy yards. The reports were taken
very seriously at the navy yard
where the feeling was that there had
been a battle Off the coast.
