MUST WIN OR PERISH
German People Warned of Dire
Result of Defeat.
Newspaper Paints Dark Picture Of
Economic Condition If En-
pire Is Beaten.

The Hague April f9-How urgent is
the yearHing for peace among The Ger
man people and how great is the in
creased strain just imposed on them
in consequence of the reduction in the
bread ration may be judged from the
eXhortations and the pictures of woe
full alternatives published in provincial
newspapers on the Inauguration Of the
curtailment Of the bread supply. The
Courier of Hanover, for example, rep
resents that a quicker but unsatisfac-
tory peace would not lead to better
food supply The people are told that
Great Britain, France, Italy and even
the United States are reckoning with
world famine for the current year,
and that in case of a premature con-
cIusion of peace the demands of these
countries for their own neds woulA
prevent the supplying of GermanyaWith
foreign fOOdstuffs.
The Courier portrays the British peo-
pie as paying the highest grain prices
of a century, and declares that the
Germans are situated more favorably
than those who planned to starve them,
not being menaced by a bad world
crop and rapidly sinking ship tonnage.
If, however, the blockade of Ger
many should succeed through lack of
economy, the newspaper says, "our
people would have not only a time Of
bitter hunger, but a long period of
the lowest wages and the most painful
enfeeblement. Then while France,
Italy and Russia carried off Alsace-
Lorraine, Trieste, the Trentino, Con-
stantinople and big Austro-Hungarian
provinces as the price of victory, Great
Britain would undertake the long
planned annexation of our economic
riches. Bread would be dear and wages
low for our entire laboring population.
We must therefore muster all our
strength, clench our teeth, and, remem-
bering the sacrifices and sufferings of
our men folk in the field, hold out and
take up this new food sacrifice"

Paris, April 19.-lmpoftant progress
was made by the French in their at
tack east of Scissors. The war office
announces the capture of Chavonne
and Chivy. The French pushed on
north of these points, reaching the
vicinity of Braye-en-Laonnois The
Germans made three desperate coun-
terattacks in the Champagne. They
were checked by the French, who in
tiicted heavy losses on the attacking
troops. Since, Monday the French have
captured about $4,000 unwounded
Germans. In the Champagne large
numbers of machine guns and trench
mortars have been captured and also
IL cannon, including three of large
caliber
All reports agree that the engage.
ment which developed on the line from
scissors to Auberive is one of the
fl ercest since the beginning of the war.
During the past "a hours the French
have been driving home their attacks
in storms of rain and snow.
1t is estimated that the Germans
concentrated about twenty divisions
100000 men) along the front, and the
most determined efforts were made to
check the French advance north and
south of the Aisne river.
Dispatches from Paris quote military
critics as predicting that the allies are
son the threshold of their biggest VIC
tory since the Marne"
Wounded soldiers and German pris-
oners arriving in Paris from the Aisne
battlefield picture the ground over
which Monday and Tuesdays fighting
ragged as an inferno Of noise and con-
fusion. Amidst the clamor of thou
sands of cannon and machine guns and
countless thousands Of rifles, the ar
mics surged back and forward in the
reeking mud, and blood of fallen sol
diers. And the days We're gray and
sunless, the battle smoke adding to the
pail. Corpses were everywhere. Shell
craters and crumbling trenches were
piled up with them. Darkness brought
no lull for the fighting continued be-
meath the light of star shells.

district attorneys in all jurisdictions of

Copenhagen, April 19.--The number

blatt, through machine works, some
electrical establishments, and part on
the munition plants. The Tageblatt's
statement Is interesting in view of q
dispatch from the official news bureau
denying that munition factories are af-
fected. The Tageblatt says, however,
that the great munition industry at

Reports in all the Berlin newspa-
pers which have arrived agree in say
ing that most of the demonstrators

ed to occasional window breaking in

zig streets and other central thorough
fares.
Guards at Imperial Castle.
Soldiers as well as police were used
in cordons thrown about Inter den
Linden and the imperial castle. Great
crowds gathered in the neighborhood
of the castle during the day and the
temper of the crowd, especially the
women, is described as extremely Bit
ter.
The strikers denounced the farmers,
the wholesalers and the government in
equal measure for responsibility for
the food situation. Even socialist
leaders that opposed the strike made
it evident to the authorities that fur
Their curtailment of rations from any
cause could not be borne.
Labor representatives interviewed
Lord Mayor Wermuth and the Prus-
sian food commissioner, Michaelis.
Assurances were given them in regard
to food which it is hoped will induce
the workingmen to abandon the
strike.
Vorwaerts Sees Peace Demand.
Vorwaerts alone of the big Berlin
papers ventured to comment edito-
rally on the strike. 1t said that the
demonstration was based not only on
the food situation and the demand
that internal reforms be no longer de-
layed, but also on the deep longing Of
the people for peace.
While asserting that the peace SEN
timent has decisive role in the move
ment, Vorwaerts argues that the strike
cannot be regarded as anti-governmen-
tai, since the "Austrian and German
declarations justify the hope that the
policy of the central powers is now on
path which will soon lead to peace"
The paper laments the fact that the
demonstration will have exactly the
opposite effect, probably, from that de-
sired by encouraging Germany's enc
mics to continue the war and dimfn-
ishing the output Of munitions. 1t also
regrets that, among other excesses, a
crowd gathered in front of the vacant
British embassy yelling and cat call
ing.
"Pacfist lntriguer" Acquitted.
No reports of strike movement In
labor centers outside Berlin have been
received. A Kiel dispatch says that
