"The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department has Just ISSUED
a striking poster drawn by Berryman
the Well-knoWn Washington cartoouist.
The poster exempIles the modern
method Of health education few
years ago. under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have Is
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role Of
droplet Infection IN the spread OF re-
Npiratory diseases The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The man

many millions who toll for their living
would have had no time and no desire

OF ESSEN AFFECTED
Trades Unions Are Not at the Head of

Are Almost Wholly at a Standstill-
Airplane Works Closed.

LONDON, Jan. 30. That 4 far-reach
ing and serious strike has broken out in
Berlin and other parts of Germany is in
Dictated in dispatches from Holland and
Switzerland
The government has made efforts to
qinimize it, but Berlin despatch pub
lished in Amsterdam admits that 10000
workers Of both sexes heads the move
ment, which was called for Monday in a
widely distributed leafet
So threatening has become the situa-
tion that the government has decided
upon the arrest OF six Independent So
clallst leaders, including three members
of the editorial staff of the Leipzig
Nolkszeitung
1t l. reported that Adolf Hoffman,.
editor OF Norwaerts and Independent So
clallst leader in the Prussian diet. has
been arrested. The Norwaerts was only
recently suspended for three days be
cause of lis open attacks on the govern
ment
According to Central News adviees
from Amsterdam. nearly all of the work
men OF the Daimler, BoerSig Ludwig and
General Electric works are on strike.
Trades unions are not at the head OF the
movement, but several trades are almost
completely at a standstil.
The independent Socialists have carried
ON an active propaganda during the last
few days, the despatch says, and in IN
dustrial centres meetings are prohibited
he situation is particularly grave in the
suburbs OF Lichterfelde Heringsdorf and
/ Johanisthal, where electric works and air
plane factories are situated. Strikes also
have broken out in Rhneland and West
Iphalia
The Frankfurter Zcitmg SAYS the
4 movement Is directed against the delay in
! passing the Prussian Reform Bill and the
/ agitation conducted by the Fatherland
party The same paper adds that the
strike has spread to the Bochum mining
! district. nine miles from Essen
/ Until the evening OF Monday. according
| to Berlin despatch. not a single incident
connected with the strike was reported.

tant General at Auckland. In the mean
time the island guard had lighted bon
fires to attract the attention of Auck
land. Presently rockets were seen as
cending, which were taken by the guard
to be answering signals by the defense
authorities, In reality the roe ketS were
part of display of fireworks at fair
being held at Remuera In consequence
Of this mistake and of the ''earthed
wire much precious time was lost III
sending ont pursuing steamers.
The launch Pearl was % feet long,
and had speed of 10 knots. She had
10 eases Of benzine aboard when the
prisoners seized her. She was used BY
the Germans to get clear of the Port
Of Auckland. The next night they
,aized the lumber scow Moa off Ner-
cury Bay. The Moa belongs to the
Leyland & O 'Brien Timber company Of
Auckland, and is 81 feet long. Her
gross tonnage is 127 She had on her
when Won Luckner and his compatriots
encountered her some 10000 feet Of
lumber, worth about $4,000 Her cap
tain, Bourke by name, an ex-member Of
the British navy. and his crew of four
were taken wholly by sur rise, as they
had not heard Of the escape, and they
and their craft seems to have been
captured without resistance.
On the night folIwin9 the escape the
scow Plsit Observed a launch cdoing
toward her of Kawau Island. The
launch did not heed the Elsie = hail. on
which the latter captain fired a rifle
shot across her bows The launch,
which was undoubtedly the Pearl with
the Germans aboard, shcered off and
made of in the direction of Mercury
Bay. Here she ran upon the less Sus-
picious Moa.
On the Sunday after the escape, run
nlng IN wild weather prevailing. the
coastal steamer Oneroa was hailed by
Il strange launch. The time was lust
before dawn. 1t was probably the Pearl
again. The Oncroa 5 captain was aware
| OF the escape, and At once posted armed
men against the launch 5 approach.
! Some one iii the launch asked in Eng
| llsh what the steamer 5 name was, but
| when tins was given did not reply.
| The launch then dashed off
| Mt the inquiry into the escape one
witness testified that suspicious had
| been aroused that All attempt would
| be made to get the Seeadler S men off
| Motulhl Island, and that special pre-.
! cautions were taken. Az showing how
carefully the Germans had prepared
for flight, another witness said that
the food taken by them included "a
chickens prepared in the form of meat
| extract, 100 egg yolks in alcohol dis
titled from pam, and four kerosene cans
Of boiled water. The Germans had been
allowed TO keep chickens. The Moa
which IS provided with sails, does vel
under canvass, but has no auxiliary en-.
gIncs, and her stock of provisions was
| small.
In the Germans log found on the
Moa when She was recovered at thc
kermadecs was this entry: ''Adven

weather; Moa' 5 crew >till aboard. Al
