GENERAL STRIKE IN

BEGUN IN GERMANY

RUMOR SAYS MUNITTON

Socialists Advise They Can

London, May IA drama of internal
strife may be in progress in Germany
today-but thick curtain of Teutonic
censorship intervened to hide announce
ments from the world at large.
May day, date of socialist, labor and
internationalist celebrations, was to be
marked by a 24-hour general strike in
all industries, according to plans laid
by certain groups in Germany several
weeks ago. In many sections of the
kaiser s land, however, the general
strike would simply be a continuation
of similar stoppage of work which has
been IN force since April l5
Within the past few days it was noted
by neutrals like Holland, Denmark and
Switzerland, that the German censor.
ship had suddenly frightened. The pro-
hibition by the eensors even included
German newspapers. Moreover, German
citizens were unable to obtain passports
permitting them to leave Germany.
In the face of these elaborate precau-
tions to guard against seepage of news
of Germany's internal situation, all
sorts of sensational rumors gained circu-
lation here today. 1t appeared certain
from the persistence of various rumors
that the 24hour general strike had beer
successful in tying up, in part, at least
of number of Germany's great stee
plants, and possibly likewise some mu
nitions works.
The Daily Mail today quoted from Q
recent issue of the Cologne Volks lei
tung declaring that socialists had ad
vised the German government they
would be unable to promise order afte
May day.

WOMEN
CAN MAINTAIN ARMY
BY CUTTING WASTE
So Says Herbert Hoover Who
Is To Have Control
of Food StufS

New York. May American wo-
men can maintain the allied armies or
the firing line by eliminating waste
in the home, in the opinion of Herbert
Hoover, who is to be American food
controller, in copyrighted article in
"Today's Housewife. +"
eff we are to pull our allies through
with sufficient foodstuffs to maintain
their men at the front and their women
and children at home, we have simply
got to reduce waste and consumption
Of foodstuffs to the minimum upon
which we can maintain good health,
Hoover warns.
HThis can be done if we have the
united good will and devotion of the
American women. They control direct
ly 85 per cent of the total food, being
that part consumed in the home and
thev indirectly control large part OF
the food consumed in public places. "
Hoover advises the wealthy to cal
Injuries exclusively and thus conserve
the staples for expectation.
From the point of view of our al
lies and our own poor in these times OF
high prices" he said, the ideal meat
Of the we'll to do would be terrapln
turkey and tenderloin. -
Urging every housewife to study
scientific food values, Hoover suggest
ed that Americans so far as possible
eat fish, fruit, potatoes, vegetables
poultry and dairy products, which can
, not be exported, and save the export
able grains and staples such as sugar
II lard and cured meats.
"Each housewife outside of the cit
ies,' Hoover declared, should us'
every spare hour of each member O.
her house hold to enlarge her garden o
plant one where none existed before
or to install chickens or rabbits anC
every household that adds pig t.
the entourage to eat the slops is saving
waste"
Hoover sees black prospects unles
every food precaution is taken immedi
ately.

Buenos Aires, May 1.--Germany and

America in 1913, when Prince Henry of
Prussia visited Chile, according to an
article published in Revista today by
Jose Molins, one of the foremost auth

States or with Brazil because of this
pact
According to Revista q article, the Sc

South America "regardless of future de
vclopments. Tn return, Chile was
pledged German aid in maintaining her
supremacy in western South America
including an ambitious plan for Chile
ultimately to seize Patagonia from Ar
gcntine.
"Chile is powerless to express hen
views with the United States, lest Ger

SHIPPING PROBLEM
IS PLACED BEFORE

England Has Ships to Supply

Forty British Ships Were
Sunk During Third Week
of April
By George Martin

Washington, May 1.-The German
submarine menace overshadowed even
the question of stnding American sol
dicrs to the front at the war confer
ence of the allies here today.
The British expert, Lord Eustace
Percy, informed the American govern
ment that the shipping problem takes
precedence over every other war prob
lem at the moment.
"The situation is very serious" he
said.
Standardization of shipbuilding in
England, America, Canada and Japan
is the biggest detail for the conferces
to dispose Of.
England s Standardization plans it
was made known, were placed at the
disposals of all the allies at the war
parley.
"Germany is sinking ships faster
than the allies are building them, /"
said Lord Percy.
Figures Are Appalling
! 'I cannot give you the figures, but
| they are appalling.
| The British have impressed on the
| American government that it will re
uuire the combined maximum shipbuild-
| ing facilities of the allies, speeded up
to top notch, to supply bottoms, abso-
lutely essential to the prosecution of
| the war
"You may get something of the sig,
nificance of the situation, - said Lord
Percy, "when l tell you that forty
British merchant ships were sunk by
submarines the third week in April.
The Englishmen have told America
that ''the balancing factor in the situa-
ton, if we are to 60 on feeding our
allies, is the tonnage the United States
can supply"
The United States has submitted an
estimate of the tonnage it can build
land Canada has informed the allies
that she is preparing to build small
boats. Japan is also building merchant
ships.
