interview. NJ. Hovelacque 10 practi-
cally the only member of the commission
who speaks English huently, and he
spoke for his entire party.
I'VE have been deeply touched" he
said, AT the warmth and cordiality of
our greeting in America We needed
nothing, of course, to prove Americas
friendship for France. That has existed
for more than a century. But we will
never forget how her representatives
were welcomed here in the hour of her
peril.
We are in the hands Of your govern

Breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany are not sufiicient to qualify a

German Emperor's government must be
made.

Labor Unrest.

Amsterdam, April IA new dictator
has risen in Germany and has taken upon
himself the almost super-human task
of quelling the evergrowing labor unrest.
He rules with an iron hand. He speaks
10 the workmen of the empire in a die
tatorial language such as has not been
heard in Germany since the days OF Bis
marck's fight on the Socialists. His
powers are those of an absolute dictator
But while whipping the workmen by word
and force back to their Jobs, he is striving
at the same time to meet their just de-
mands.
This man is Gen. Groener, director of
munitions supplies.
He will be q mean hound who does not
work so long as the army stands op-
posite the enemy" he says in an appeal
placarded in every nook and corner OF
the Teutonic realm and contained in
copies OF German newspapers which
reached here today.
The appeal. continues: our army
needs arms and munitions. Did you
not read Hindenburg's letter? How
dare you deny him?
The worst enemies are among US.
They are small-mInded people and
those who instigate a strike must be
branded before the nation as traitors
to the Fatherland and to the army.
Those who listen to their words are
towards.
who dares to stop when Hinden-
burg commands him to work? We are
not far from the goal. The nations
existence is at stake"

peror more closely 10 his people than
ever before.
The japanese constitution has pro-
visions for such direct appeal. but no
regulations covering this point had ever
