German Hour of Destiny

AMSTERDAM, Feb 2.-The Rhein- isch Westfalische Zeitung publishes Munster dispatch dated February l. reproducing a proclamation issued by the deputy commanding general, in which he says:
 Germany is face to face. with her hour of destiny. Her enemies have abandoned hope of victory by arms and are now trying to sow dissen- tion in our ranks. A propaganda on a large scale, supported by the ideas of the Russian revolution has re- suited in some sections of the popu- lation following the enticements of irresponsible agitators. They do not realize that they are committing shameful treason against the father land.
 T raise my warning voice and ask you to consider what will happen If our front begins to totter. Foreign countries are already rejoicing at their success, observing with ma again walking into trap. That must not continue.
 Political resistance must and will in all circumstances be smashed. Germany must not experience such conditions as the Russian revolution produced. Let everyone help to terminate the shameful spectacle of a strike, denounce the mischievous agitators and bring them to their deserved punishment"

WASHINGTON WILL TALK ID SOLDIERS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Direct radio communication between Washington and American army headquarters in France will be made possible this year with the completion of the s2,25O, 900 radio station being built in France by the navy department which has charge of all radio communication. At the close of the war, under arrangements made, the station will be taken over by the French government
 Available French stations are not of sufficient power for transmission of Atlantic communication on the scale desired by the United States.
 As result, the cables have been crowded with government messages into the night hours It is anticipated that the new station will be finished in August, and by working with the Ar lington, Va, station or the new high power plant at Annapolis. the radio system will afford quick relief.

OFFICERS
 CRITICISED BY B|C
 CHIEF FUR ACTIONS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. D. Insistent recommendations that general officers, colonels and other line officers of high rank be held directly responsible for the training of the officers under them are contained in extracts of reports from General Pershing published here today. There is unflinching criticism of the lack of military knowledge on several vital points displayed by such officers presumably of the regular army, on their arrival in France
 General Pershing notes an almost total failure to give instructions in principles of minor tactics and their practical application to war conditions. Officers, from colonels down. and in- cluding some. general officers, are found ignorant of the handling of units in open warfare, including principles of reconnaissance, outposts, advance guard, solution of practical problems and formation of attack. No training whatever has been given in musketry efficiency as distinguished from indi- vidual target practice on the range"

NINE MILLION TONS
 SUNK, GERMAN CLAIM
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb. 2. - The German newspapers assert that in the first year of the unrestricted submarine warfare nine million tons of allied and neutral shipping were sunk and that only four million tons have been built to offset this.
 As showing how unreliable is the information which the German author ities give out, the Associated Press is authorized to state that the claim put forward exaggerates the actual tonnage lost by more than fifty per cent. The total net loss of the worlds ocean going tonnage since the outbreak of the war, including the losses by marine risk, as well as by enemy action, and allowing for enemy tonnage captured, amounts to less than thre million tons, or, roughly nine per cent of the ton age available at the outbreak of the war.

Determined to keep the Bolshevil1i out of Poland for fear that the leaven of their doctrine might spread to their own people, the Germans have refused all passports to Russian Bolsheviki delegates now at Brest- Litovsk to visit Warsaw. The Ger mans have also denied the request that Polish troops in the Russian army be repatriated.
 With the capture of the ancient city of Kiev by the Bolsheviki, that party is in absolute control in a large part of the Ukraine and a revolu- tionary government has been set up by the Victors.
 Bolsheviki activities have spread until the Finnish militia and the Russians are fighting near Kerava. Achievements have been sent from Petrograd, but the Finnish white guards are reported to have gained control over the northern portions of Finland, notwithstanding.

CARSON FIGHT ON HOME RULE
 VERY SERIOUS
Ulstermen Rallying to Be Heard in Opposition to
 Plan Which Would Bring Calm to Troubled Land
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

BELFAST Feb. 2.-In a speech be- fore the Unionist council today, Sir Edward Carson said that circumstances had arisen at the Irish convention indi- eating the possibility of trouble over the steps the government should take if the convention should break down. If he remained in the government, he de- clared, he would have to be party to it's deliberations and support any pol icy it adopted On the other hand, he was not free because of his pledges as a covenanter.
 It was plain that the convention hay ing been set up and Ulsta' having en- tered it, the Ulsterites must remain to the end and consider every proposal with a view to seeing whether there could be a solution satisfactory to the people of Ulster.
 This, he described as "one that would enable the people to feel that they still maintain their status as citizens of the British empire and are protected in their business and daily lives against the possibility of harmful interfer- ence."
 He protested against any attempt to create an atmosphere that Ulster is unreasonable, declaring: Ulster alone in Ireland has shown any reason at all Some of our old friends and sup porters who are calling out for set clement really mean a surrender. If by settlement, people have in their minds surrender, there will be no set clement.
 "A greater insult could not be of fered to a nation than is put forward and suggested that unless the Irish question is settled, America will no longer go on with the war, or will pros ecute the war with less vigor Any thing more ridiculous or insulting it is impossible to conceive"
 America has not come into the war, he said, simply to help Britain and out of friendship to Britain, but to fight for the same ideals of freedom and lib- erty, because she saw the world threat ened by the domination of class. ITO tell me that America, with these high ideals and having abandoned her iso- lation to come into the European war, was influenced by the Irish question, is childish" he asserted. 50 far from helping settlement in Ulster, that kind of thing puts the mems backs up."

IRON HAND OF AUTONOMOUS
 STRIKESTlLL
Government Throttles All
 Possible News Indicating Seriousness of the Situa- tlon Existing in Germany
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 LONDON, Feb. 2-The German government is keeping a tight hand on news of the strikes, which are attended by demonstrations in Berlin and other parts of Germany. But from details received today through Holland, it is learned that the situa- uon became serious Thursday when a considerable display of force was necessary to handle the mobs which attacked street cars and carried out other eXcesses in Berlin. For news of what transpired yes terday. the public outside of Ger many is largely dependent upon a semi-official report which says that only isolated and entirely insigni- flcant eXcesses occurred that day" and that the prevailing opinion is that the strike has passed its zenith"
 This seems to be supported by the fact that the newspapers which were unable to appear Thursday, owing to the sympathy displayed by their compositors and pressmen with the strikers, all came out Friday, while the transport workers continue their labors.
 Work Resumed at KieI?
 It is also asserted that work has been resumed at Kiel. Danzig and Hamburg, but it is admitted that ad- ditional miners have gone on strike at the Rhenisch Westphalian coal fields.
 Information from various sources show, however, that the strike in general is not over, despite the strong stand taken by the military authori- ties who now are in control. The a n lkf tor Zaff strike continues to extend to many other towns, while in Berlin it does not diminish. although martial law has been declared in some of the factories and the workers have been ordered to return by Monday under threat of disciplinary military measures.
 The uneasiness of the government over the situation is shown by its action in placing the burden Of sup pressing the strike on the shoulders of the military and the arrest of socialist leaders, including Deputy | Wilhelm Dittmann, whose detention, according to one dispatch, has caused profound irritation in social istic circles. A national demonstra- tion of protest is being organized.
 Want Meeting of Reichstaa
 The socialist paper Vorwaerts, ad- vocates calling a meeting of the reichstag and declares that the gov ernment must take notice of the dis content which, it says, is a struggle between the pan-Germans and the advocates of peace by understand ing, adding: The social democratic party must least of all desire that the movement should lead to a process of disintegration and civil | war"
 The Deutsche Tages Zeitung viol- ently attacks Austria Hungary and accuses that ally of having caused the present troubles by demanding flour from Germany at such a crit ical time.
 According 10 Berlin dispatch 10 the Dutch papers. the bourgeoise party have decided to oppose the social democratic party's demand for the convocation of the reichstag. be- cause they believe that the parties of the extreme left intend to use such a meeting for purposes of their own propaganda.
