GERMAN PEOPLE REVOLT AGAINST TYRANNY.

The best news that has come from the interior of Germany for some time was contained in Associated Press dispatches. printed in The Graphic yesterday morning, telling of strikes and revolutionary move ments by the German workmen and Socialists, who are reported to be demanding the conclusion of gen eral peace without indemnities or an neXations. participation of the work men in peace discussion. asnelioration of the food situation the right of public assembly. the release of poli- tical prisoners. and the introduction of equal electoral suffMse by direct secret ballot"
 That fighting has taken place be tween the strikers and troops, in which life was lost. is also indicated by the dispatches. And tho semi-of ficial dispatches from Berlin deny there is serious strike movement in any part of Germany except Berlin" the fact that Field Marshal von Hindenburg. Germany's hero, has been led to issue warning to the strikers proves that the situation is alarming the kaiser's government.
 That the down-trodden, fear-ruled, fanatical German workmen-misled for years-have been goaded to act against their rulers wishes is the best evidence that has come thru of Germany's awful situation. The strik CTS and revolutionary movements may be suppressed by tn, military, but the resentment Of the people will grow. Eventually. the German gov ernment will find itself without the support so necessary to continue the conflict
 The thing for the United States and the allies to guard against how ever, is over-confidence. There must be no let up in the vigorous prose- cution of the war against Germany. To let this news delay measures. in the belief that peace is near, would be a terrible blunder-the kind of q blunder that German tactics led the Italians to commit. and which Ger man propaganda seeks to lead to in
