TEUTON MASSES
 RETURN ID WORK
 STRIKE IS OVER
Threats of Death, Withholding Food and Strike Benefits Had Desired Effect-VOn Kuehl- mann is Called Home.

Amsterdam, Feb. 4.-The German strike, as a national movement, is virtually over. Martial law, the threat of execution and the withhold ing from the strikers of food and strike benefits combined in crushing it. Large numbers of workers re- turned to work yesterday, not waiting for the military regimes ultimatum to expire. Their days of grace were up today. In isolated cities and pro vincial places labor troubles continue but their early end is genreally antici- pated.
 The fact that Phillip Scheidemann and other socialist leaders deserted the strikers cause just when the move ment promised to develop into real menace to the government, led the belief in some quarters here that a bargain was concluded between these leaders and the government in the critical moment. This belief was strengthened by the news that Dr. von Kuehlmann and Count Czernin, the Teuton foreign secretaries, have been suddenly called from Brest-Litovsk to eBrlin to take part in an important political and economic conference.
 Since neither Berlin nor Vienna could afford at this stage to break off the parleys with the Bolsheviki, it is argued some understanding must have been reached toward a modifica- tion of the German peace aims in the east, and that the reason for the hur- ried visit of the-two statesmen is that they are to receive corresponding in- structions.
 In equally we'll informed quarters however, the theory prevails that be- hind this hurry call to Kuehlmann and Czernin is the reported dissension in the central alliance councils over Bull garia's war aims. Bulgaria is said to be greatly wrought up over the failure of her Teuton allies explicitly to en- dorse her term before all the world Both Count von Hertling and Count Czernin utterly ignored her in thei1 recent peace speeches. Significant ir this connection may be the fact that Lloyd George, too, omitted all refer ences to Bulgaria in his last peace aims speech.
 But whatever the connection may be between the ending of the strike and the developments at Brest-Llt- ovsk, Germany has for the moment at least, averted the danger of internal collapse.
 Examples have been made of the arrested strike leaders. One of them Heinrich Schultze, was given six months imprisonment by the special court martial. A similar sentence IS reported to have been meted out tc Wilhelm Dittmann, the reichstae deputy.
 The fatherland party,s organs meanwhile, are indulging in bitter recriminations against England whom they accuse of having engineered the strike through paid agents.
 President Kaempf, of the reichstag Berlin dispatches state, refused tho socialists appeal for immediate revo cation of that body to discuss th' strike. He gave as a reason that th' other parties objected to such step

Persia, skilled in the art OF rug
weaving as only a Persian is skilled,
had a dream. So vivid was this
dream that when he told it TO the
lesser prophets of his race they at
first were astounded. Then when the
meaning of the dream dawned on
them they shook their heads in pity
and whispered the word-insane.
The rug-weaving prophet of Ia
briz was as skilled a cartoonist as he
was a weaver OF dreams and rugs.
Undaunted by what the lesser
prophets thought of him, he set to
work and wOve his dream. strand

About the time that the rug was

district bordering on the Persian
frontier heard about the dream
which the prophet was weaving into
whole cloth. That a Per/an would
dare to forecast the fall OF the Turk
was in the eyes OF the Mohamme-
ds.l. an objectionable offense. BY the
boards of all Of the Mohammedan
prophets the governor vowed that
the rug must be secured.
A trusted emissary was sent by
the governor into Tabriz. The willy
Turkish emissary was a capable
man. Before many days after his
