PUBLIC DISORDER

Amsterdam, April 11.-Dispatch to
The London Daily Chronicle. 1.-THE
kaiser, in the manifesto issued from

~reactionary elements in Germany that

tenance of autocracy nus be aban-
doned. Apart from his slight reference
to the maintenance of the fighting
forces as a real peoples army" which
the socialist demand for the democra-
tization of the army no additional
reforms are promised save in the
vaGuest fashion.
There is not, 1t will be noticed, any
reference to the outstanding reform
which the socialists demand, namely,
q chancellor and administration re-
sponsible to the reichstag. Still, it is
a step which comes soone than most
people imagined it would come, and

The kaiser's statement that in his
opinion there is no more room in
Prussia. for a class electoral law must
warn the reactionaries that their
reign slopes to its twilight. 1t is a
slight beginning, but still it is a be-
ginning, and I have reason to know it

much as by external Influences.
l can state on worry good authority
that serious outbreaks of trouble have
taken place within the last few weeks
throughout Germany. All news of
these happenings has been carefully
damped down; still. most reliable in
formation reaches me that the trou-
bles have been of a more serious chafA
acter than ever before, and that great
difficulty has been experienced in
suppressing the disorders. The peo-
pie are beginning to see that the sub
marine warfare is not providing them
with an ounce more food, and the re-
form announced undoubtedly was de-
cided upon hastily with the aim Of re-
storing some degree Of content.

Germany Uses War Prisoners in Her
Industry; E. L. Fox Says Teutons Are
Prepared For Trade Shift After War;
Building Ships While Sinking Others

New York, April Germany Is
pictured as q land systematically pre-
pairing for the post val conquests Of
world trade, devoting herself even in
the midst Of her titanic struggle to a
canny preparation for the text phase
OF the international fight in an article
by Edward Lyell Fox, who just has
returned from a study Of industrial
conditions in the empire.
Mr.. Fox asserts that Germany is not
on the verge Of bankruptcy; that she
Is making every captured resource
count while saving her own, and that
even her submarine campaign, though
1T has been given the public guise Of
wanton warfare, has at least q Sec
ondary purpose of destroying COM
peting tonnage while her own ship
yards busilX turf out freighters
against the day when German vessels
again dare sail the seas. Not the
least of her present industrial add
vantages. he says, is her use of skilled
artisans among her prisoners.
Germany Is not going to be a ma
ton unable to do business as soon as
peace omes She is preparing for
this trade situation as carefully as
she prepared for war;" Mr.. Fox will
say IN the current number of Sys-
tenn, Just as every man, factory,

ing Of peace.
1T Is the general belief that Ger
man shipyards have beer busy for the
last w years turning out warships
and submarines. On the contrary.
Germany has built twenty-eight new
freight steamers since the war be-
gan. These We're built for one pur-
pose-world trade. The submarine
campaign Is not only n war measur
