LoNnoN. April Is. A British Admit
ra'ty statement issued tonight says:
In consequence OF German subra
rine attacks on British hospital ships. in
direct and fragrant contravention of the
Hague convention. q large squadron of
British and French airplanes carried out
a reprisal bombardmert of the town Of
Fre!burg Saturday. Many bombs were

Despite large number OF air fights

ships without warning, charging that the
British used them to transport war ma

IsrEgDAA. April i6 - Advices re-
ce.Ned here from Berlin say that strikes
were declared in Berlin and environs to-
day among n portion of the metal. wood
and transport Industries. Other in
dustrles. including large munition fac.
tories. and the general business OF the
city have not been affected by the iso-
lated strikes. Tramway traffic in Berlin
is normal
In the face OF reports of possible
strikes to-day Toruuerts prints a sig
nficant warning. as follows:
"Internal disturbances in Germany at
this moment would he calculated deeply
to disturb Socialistic peace work. The
vain hope that Germany in a few months
might see occurrences similar to those
in Russia might again postpone the end
Of the war. which now seems 50 near.
and again cost hundreds Of thousands $
OF lives In the battle field. Whoever has
reason or conscience therefore will es.
perially ask what will be the effect Of
what he does or falls to do to-day"
The reduced bread ration in Germany
has now gone into effect. Judging from
the tone OF the press and the news items
in German newspapers II appears that
the reduction caused great discomfort
among workmen. and even threats TO
retaliate by strikes.
A proposal which was strongly sup
ported among the metal workers was to
reduce correspondingly the hours OF
work by one-fOurth. Socialist and army
newspapers appealed to the porkmen TO
accept the derrivations in the same
spirit as the soldiers at the front and
not to imperl the soldiers by a reduc-
tion in the munltion output
The same newspaper announces that az
