(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 31.-Because
German influence in Spain was
held responsible for the refusal
of a large Madrid film to sell
Major General Pershing 100000
blankets for the American SOL
diers, the War Trade Board to-
day stopped issuing licenses for
the export of merchandise to
Spain, and detained fives ships

London, Jan. 31.--Finland is in the

November revolution in Petrograd. Ac-
cording to news received from the

(By Associated Press)

London, Jan. 31.-A Copenhagen
dispatch says the strike in Germany
is growing ir magnitude. Several
hundred thousand workers, including
$4,000 women, are in strike in Ber-
lin. A great number of Socialist
leaders have been arrested in various
towns. Socialist party leaders are
said to have demanded the summon
ing of the Reichstag Immediately be-
t>ause of the alarming events of the
past few days. It is reported that
the Berlin strikers have decided to
oppose to the utmost any reprisals
against their leaders. Holland dis
patches express the belief that Ger
many is exploiting what are hardly,
more than peace demonstrations in'
the hope of producing serious effect
in Entente countries. Another reports
the movement as a pretext for the
breaking off of Russian peace nego-
tiations.
The semi-official Norddeutsche Al
lgemeine Zeitung has warned the
strikers that, instead of furthering the
peace movement, their action will en-
courage enemies to resist Germany's
just claims. 1t said the government
exliects the strikers to realize the
fof fiishness of their attitude and re-
st-ne work.
. The Swiss frontier has been closed
since Tuesday. Private reports re-
ceived in Switzerland say that the
present strike took a serious turn
because the workers, infuriated by the
refusal of Minister of the Interior
Walraff to confer with the leaders of
the central strike committee in Ber-
lin, which has been in session con-
tinuously since Monday. It is report
ed that assurances of solidarity have
been received from LEIPZIG, Dussel-
dorf and Barman, Notwithstanding
rigid military control.
Only few kilograms have arrived
in Copenhagen from Germany. News
is scarce because most Berlin news
papers have not been published.
Won Hindenburg's appeal to all
workers to stop striking appeared on
the street corners in Berlin yester-
day.
Fog Makes Matters Worse.
A thick fog in Berlin has made it
impossible for the authorities to pre-
vent the distribution of pamphlets.

Amsterdam, Jan. 31.-A semi off
cial statement gives ;he number Of
strikers in Berlin at 10000. It says
there has been only an inconsiderable
increase since Tuesday. It says there
are no disturbances anywhere in the
empire, and that Berlin newspapers
have been published, with but few
exceptions.
A Wednesday edition of the Koel-
nische Volks Zeitung said the strikes
were spreading in Berlin, and said
that the demand of the Fatherland
party and bad food are the reasons
given for the strike.
