Papers Suppressed.

Amsterdam.-T great industrial revolt menaces all Germany today. The reports received here indicate that nearly million men and women. mostly engaged in war work, are now on strike. Newspapers which have dared to tell the truth, are being suspended in all parts of the empire and strike leaders are being arrested by wholesale. Among the papers suspended are the Vor- waerts, the Berlin Tagedblatt, and Berliner Post. Won Hindenburg is reported to have warned the strik- CTS to cease immediately. He told them that they are being misled, that their action is weakening the defenses of the nation, and that they are committing a crime against the army. and an act of cowardice against their brothers in the trenches
 Public meetings have been for bidden and the imperial government is now threatening to put the nation under martial law, with won Hinden- burg as dictator.

THURSDAY

Washington.-In an open letter addressed to the conference of American Farmers, in annual session at Urbana, H., President Wilson struck another blow for the triumph of the democracy of the world. The president called for the united sup port of the agriculturists to aid in winning victory. He said that the achievements of this year, on the side or the other, must determine the issue. He recited, in concrete form. the enormous resources of the country for war and showed how the agencies and instrumentalities of the nation will make futile the schemes of Germany to compel her enemies to starve with her. Contin- uing, he said, "It will be our glory when the war is over, that we have supplied these materials, and sup piled them abundantly, and it will be all the more glory because, in supplying IneHl, we nave made our supreme effort and sacrifice. We are fighting as truly for the liberty and self government of the United States as if our own revolutionary war had to be fought over again {; and every man in every business in the United States must know now that his whole future and fortune lies in the balance. Our national life, our whole economic develop ment will come under the sinsister influence of foreign control if we do not win"
 The toll, energy, devotion, self sacrifice, intelligence and foresight of American farmers will bring the war to a triumphant conclusion, de clared the president. He was to have addressed the farmers in per son, but was enable to make the trip.

MONDAY

Washington.-To meet "serious disquietude" in America and partic- ularly in Russia, President Wilson has written a letter to Governor Stevens, of California, urging him to give a new trial for Thomas Mooney, who is now under death sentence in connection with the Preparedness Day bomb case, in San Francisco. On the recommendation of a special committee, headed by Secretary of Labor Wilson, the President has asked that the sentence be post poned until a new trial is had, as the committee has reported that the con- viction savoured of frame-up.
 Washington.-In his proclamation urging stricter food conservation, President Wilson designates Mon days and Wednesdays as wheatless days, and Tuesday as meatless day and Satuday as porkless day, with one wheatless and one meatless meal every day. Regulations regarding the sale of flour and the making of bread are compulsory, but house. holds are depended up to obey the mandate voluntarily. The president points out that thirty per cent of the American normal wheat con- sumption must be sent abroad, to feed our Allies.

"We can go through their lines any time we make the attempt We shall succeed" The American troops, he said, are in wonderful shape and all the Allies are watching with interest their ac- tion in the first battle. French of ficers, he continued, declare that the markmanship of the Americans is most accurate and will be severely felt by the Germans in the spring activities. The morals of the army, as a whole, are excellent.

At the same time we are proposing and insisting upon similar pledges from all the nations of the world, who have it's peace at heart and who are willing to associate themselves for the maintenance of that peace"
