Copenhagen, Feb. A copy OF a
pamphlet issued by the independent
Socialists, which reached Copenhagen,
shows that the strike in Germany was
prepared by them. The pamphlet
points out that the Pan-Germans have
brought the peace negotiations and
the future OF Germany into great dan
ger.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, leader of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declared
that he was satisfied with the govern
ment's plans concerning the east. Such
declaration, says the pamphlet,
proves that the government Is in col
fusion with the advocates of violence,
and just at this moment the Reichstag.

list policy could be attacked. is closed
and other means of criticism made i'm
possible by the government
"Our press is gagged, our comrades
are imprisoned, and the factories to a
still greater extent are materialized,"
continues the pamphlet
Men and women of the working
classes, there is no time to lose! After
the horrors and horrible suffering we
have undergone, new and frightful
disastc threatens our people-yes.
even the whole of humanity,
'Only g peace without indemnities
can save us, and the hour has come
when you must raise your voice for
such a peace
The pamphlet is signed by Edouard
Bernstein, Hugo Haase, Wilhelm Dit
man, George Ledebour and other
leaders.
Amsterdam-The Rhenische West

says:
Germany is face to face with her
hour of destiny Her enemies have
abandoned hope of victory by arms
and are now trying to sow dissension
in our ranks.
81 raise my warning voice and ask
you to consider what will happen If
our front begins to totter. Political
resistance must and will. In all cir
cumstances, be smashed. Germany
must not experience such conditions
as the Russian revolution produced"
The worst disturbances were in the
Moabit Dill, where crowds of strikers
attempted to overturn street cars The
police interviewed and were resisted
by the strikers, collisions occurring.
There were stormy scenes also in
North Berlin, and In East Berlin
youths and girls crowded the streets,
climbed on street cars and wrested
the controllers from the motormen or
