Effect of Strikes

NEW YORK, Jan. 31. = A corre- spondent of the Associated Press, who was stationed at Berlin until America entered the war and who recently re- turned to the United States from Copenhagen, where he went after the outbreak of hostilities, has written the following statement of the effects of strikes in German cities are likely to have upon the production of munitions:
 Strikes in Adlershof, the Berlin suburb mentioned in today's dis patches, will affect one. of the impor- tant centers of the German military aiTplane and balloon industry.
 Important war chemical works, spe- cialiZing in the manufacture of con stituents for munitions, also are located in the Berlin suburb.
 "Spandau, where the strike also is reported spreading, is the site of one of Germanys big arsenals, and a center for the manufacture of ammunition as well as of electrical plants devoted to war work.
 | "Spandau and AIdershof differ from l the usual German industrial centers in l that large numbers of skilled workmen exempted from military service because l of their greater value in war plants | are employed there rather than the women and youths who make up high 1 proportion of Germany's industrial l army in war times. These men are largely enrolled in the ranks of the radical socialist party and have beer restiye and dissatisfied with the gov

ernment for a long time.
 Spandau Workmen Are Backbone

The Spandau workmen formed the backbone of Germany's first political strike during the war, called as a pro- test against the conviction of Lieb- knecht, the radical socialist member of the reichstag, and held out the longest of any during the April protest against the reduction of the bread ration.
 Conditions of the present German political strike are significant in that for the first time the leaders of the majority or tame socialists under Scheidemann are aligned with the rad ical socialists. During the strikes oc- casioned by the trial of Liebknecht and by the reduction of the bread ration in April. 1917 the influence of Scheide- mann and the other majority socialist leaders was thrown against the walk outs and they co-operated with the

URGES FLYING
 SERVICE FLAG

General Strong, who commands the Arizona men at Camp Kearney. is just back from France and finds no words too strong to tell of the valor of the British and French or to speak of the consideration that should be given by Americans for their own boys at the front or on the way. He especially urges the flyng of the service flag from all households that have loaned lad to his country
 This is an unofficial flag, though an effort is to be made to get it's recogni- tion from congress. It was invented six months ago by Captain Robert l.! Quisser of Cleveland, now in the Fifth Ohio Infantry, himself father of two stalWart sons. also in the army There must be an addition to the plan-some- thing to indicate that the flag com memorate tEe someone who has died in the service.

government in inducing the men and women to return 10 work. Majority socialists endeavors were primarily re- sponsible for the failure of the general political strike which radical socialists attempted to launch on May ], l9l6. Now Scheidemann and his associates are represented on the general strike committee, with Haase and other lead- CTS of the radical element.
 This change of heart on the part of the government socialists apparently has been brought about by the spirit shown by. the government in the Russo German peace negotiations at Brest- Litoysk; in the treatment of the Prus- sian franchise reform, and also by. the swing of the socialist masses away from the moderate program of the Scheidemann forces to the radica stop the-war- any price demands ol the radicals

DAMAGE CASE |S
 YET UPON TR|AL

Dr. Colt Hughes stated on the wit ness stand yesterday that he had told George Purdy Bullard, counsel for the defense in the $10,0O0 damage suit brought by J. A. Matthews against the Arizona Eastern railroad, that Matth- ews got what he was entitled to when the jury last May returned q verdict of S450.
 Matthews, who was a bill clerk in the freight office of the railroad, was hurt . when he fell into a pit where a plat form scale was being installed. The accident occurred in April, 1916, and the case was first tried last spring. The present trial will probably be complet- ed today and the evidence varied some what from the original hearing. Matthews injuries are said to be far more serious than the evidence at the former trial indicated.
