The Associated Press summarizes
today's internal situation in Germany
as follows:
All the far reaching power of the
German censorship is unable to sup
press the fact that the gravest discon.
tent Is seething in the ranks of the
German workers and that the govern.
ment is, haunted by the fear that May
day, the great international socialist
holiday, may see an outbreak which
will shake the whole imperial fabric.
That the general strike planned BY
the socialist radicals Is not confined
to- Germany but includes Austria Hun
gary as well, is indicated by one Of
the rare dispatches which have come
through from Vienna. The Arbeiter
Zeitung organ Of the Austrian social
lists accepts it as granted that strike
will occur throughout the dual mon
archy on May 1 and urged the work
ers to limit the demonstration to that
day and return to work on May 2.
THREE GREAT FACTIONS.
The situation in Germany appears
to be that the empire is divided into
three great factions, with the feelins

class, which still talks of victorious

mites; second is the socialist major

to force the government into decla-

money nor the land Of Germany's foes:
the third party is headed by the radi.
cal socialists and includes an unknown
but apparently considerable body Of
the workers, sick Of the war, disheart-
ened by the diminishing food rations
and demanding that peace be obtained
at once, whateversthe cost The only
point in common between the three
parties seems to be to make Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-H ollweg tho target
Of all their shafts.
TURKEY WANTS PEACE.
The majority socialists appear to
have the inner track at present. An
incident of possible Significance has
occurred in connection with the visit Of
Talaat Bey. the Turkish vfzer to Ber-
lin. After conferences with the chan
cellor and Foreign Secretary thinner
mann, the Turkish premier is quoted
in Berlin dispatch az saying that
Turkey was ready to make peace and
desired no annexation.
