Strikes in 100 Factories
Followed Hertling's Speech
Labor Demonstration in Germany for Peace Began When
900 Workers Failed to Report in Berlin Charlotten
burg and Spandau; Government Unprepared;
Situation Still Critical

uiar feeling IN Germany at present is
still thoroughly good in general, but
the seeds of serious developments exist
and the soil is quickly prepared for
political weeds. Everything turns on
what policy the social democracy de-
cidcs to adopt in these critical weeks
and months"
II. W. Massingham writes in "The
Nation:
"In the long run one cannot doubt
this strike. Even if it fails now, it
may be renewed and it is bound to
force Scheidcmann forward and also
stltfen the Reichstag majority But it
may also stitTcn tho Fatherland party
and even the government. The Prus-
sian spine does not bend easily The
choice between peace and revolution
can nowhere be evaded in the end, if
the war drags on"
Z A. G. Gardner says in "Thc Daily
News:
Victory VIC must have; victory over
the institution of militarsm and the
wfo filthy gospel of war. If we get
that victory, everything else will fol-
low. and that victory is in sight. 1t
may be won, not two years hence, or
it may not be won for five Years hence.
~ may be won in months, perhaps in
weeks.
Victory When Tyranny Fails
"Victory will be registered on the
day Prussian military tyranny fails.
and it will be all the more complete
and final if it is won b. the German
people rather than by the sword of
the Allies
"The sword of democracy must be
Keen and bright while the issue is in
doubt. 1t must be turned unfalteringlv
against the enemy machine, but it is
the German people alone who can give
Us the victory We need. On the day
they kick the Hindenburg idol into the
gutter and shatter it to pieces, the
emancipation Of humanity will be ac
complished and democracy will stand
triumphant. not over the German peo-
PIE, but over the corpse of militarism !"
