Workers in Dusseldorf Mu- nitions Factories Out
 On Strike.

London, March 23.-Rumors con- tinue to reach Holland that serious riots have occurred in Berlin owing to the scarcity of food. Correspondents in Amsterdam cable that number Of German regiments have been with drawn from the Dutch border to maintain oder in Berlin.
 The workers in five Dusseldorf mu- hilton factories are said to have call ed a strike until such times as the ra- tions are increased. There was re- duction of meat, potato and bread al- lowance last week. In the last forty eight hours, according to reports, dis order has occurred at various muni- tion factories.
 1nasmuch as revolution is in the air, Dutch newspapers take a serious view of the reported disturbances in Germany.
 Several circumstances seem to con- firm the reports that all is not we'll in Germany. The rumors all come from German unofficial sources. Again there has been a curious ab- sence of private mail from Berlin and Hamburg for the last week German Social Democrats who happen to be in Holland are impressed by the re- ports of trouble and are hastening back to Berlin to take care of their interests.
 Dutch correspondents have gone to the frontier in order to learn what they can of events in Germany.

CIRCUSES CANNOT
 GET WILD BEASTS

Geological exhibits throughout the country have suffered heavily as a re- suit of the three years continuation of the European war, it was learned at the Barnum & Bailey headquarters in this city today.
 It is said that animal keepers in America report that the propagation of the wild and rare species of ami nals has unaccountably dropped off during the last winter,
 Not only has the menagerie of the Barnum & Bailey show not had it's annual increase in the young of the giraffe, lion, tiger, hyena and elephant herds, but other large shows and pub- lie zoos report similar conditions
 With the death of many animals which annually occur in the geological gardens of the United States and no manner of replenishing the display stocks from abroad the United States will see less of the wild and ferocious beasts than heretofore,
 The Barnum & Bailey menagerie one of the largest in the United States will maintain it's excellent standard, but the baby animals will be missing None was born at winter quarters this year.

 white,
 Your mother-sister. now you see In that land of life and light. At your birthday feast how merry You have many times made this, When our circle loved to crown you Our honored queen-whom we now miss.
 Your hearty laugh and harmless jest In fancy we can almost hear. For the cheeriest ring was in your voice
 Tho sightless eyes were 70 dear. We're not sad today-nor sorrow
 That your body is in the dust. For you shall see us, Dear Aunt Fanny At the meeting of the just.

THOUGHT WILSON WAS
ONLY BIITEITNG

When Henry Morgenthau, former
American ambassador to Turkey.
passed through Berlin, en- route to the
United States, he conferred with Zim-
mermann, who was then under-sec-
rotary of state During the course OF
one OF their conversations thinner
mann said the United States would
never go to war with Germany, be
cause the COMMUNICATIONS would
revolt" That was one of thinner
manns hobbies. zimmerman told
other American officials and foreign
correspondents that President Wilson
would not he able TO bring the United
States TO the brink CT war, because
the German Americans were too pow
erful"
But zimmerman was not making
these statements upon his own au-
thority. He was being kept minute
ly advised about conditions here
through the German spy system and
by German American ENJOYS, who
came to Berlin to report on progress
the German Americans were making
here in politics and In congress
Zimmerman was so dead sure" he
was right in expecting a large proper
tlon of Americans to he disloyal that
enc time during Il conversation with
Am 5assador Gerard he said that he
believed Wilson was only biufing in
his submarine notes When thinner
mann was under-secretary of state I
used TO see him very often His con-
versation would contain questions like

tIltSes
Well. how IL your English presi-
dent? Why doesn't your president do
something against England ?"
Zimmerman was always in close
touch with the work of Captains Won
Papen and Boy-Ed when they were In
+ this country. He was one of the chief
supports Of the little group of intrig-
uer3 in Berlin who directed German
propaganda here. Zimmormann was
the man who kept Baron Mumm Won
SchwarzenStein, former ambassador to
Toxic, IN the foreign office in Berlin
/ hs chief OF foreign propaganda and
intrigue in America and China.
Mumm had been here as minister ex-
/ trao-dinary several years age and
knew how Germany's methods could
/ be used 20 the best purposes; namely,
I to divide american sentiment. Then
+ = hen XimmeSnann succeeded Jagow
/ the ousted Mun,m because Mumm had
become unpopular with higher gov
eminent authorities
One day in Berlin. just before the
recall of the former German military
and attaches in Washington ] asked
Zimmerman whether Germany sane
toned what these men had been do
i ing. He replied that Germany APP
proved everything they had done be
