TEUTONIC RULE
TERRORIZES In
RUSSIAN LANDS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
The affair would not be so serious, IL
the German people could at least
feel their government has its own
will and determination. Unfortunate
ly this Is not the case, as the strong
will and determination is elsewhere.
and the government allows itself to
be driven instead OF driving"
Reactionary Admits Error.
The Hamburger Flembenblatt. which
has supported the military factions
at Berlin, makes this admission of
mistakes in Russia:
Mistakes made in Ukrania are
proved by the fact that the military
commander was only allowed to act
In political matters in agreement with
the German minister. ManIfestly, the
Ukrainian Socialists have sought a
connection with the German Social
lists, to make them allies against the
German government and nation"
The comment In this Kaiser-ruled
Hamburg paper concludes as follows:
The more Germany asserts her
rights. the more healthy inner condi-
tons in Ukrainia will grow"
the German censorship with a wall
against the policy of the war lords,
with the suggestion that after vic
tory self-gcvernment> may be ex-
pected. 1t said:
Got by the Censor.
Freedom. not conquest, was
promised us in August, 1914, and
this promise was confirmed in July,
1917. Conquest. not freedom, is the
hard language of facts in May, 1918,
but the battle is not yet finished,
and many signs indicate the hey
dey Of the advocates OF might in in
ternal and foreign policy.
Unfortunately. the strength of
the two movements has often been
varied with the war situation, but
nevertheless, the German working
classes will not be converted to de-
faitism. They are not in such a
desperate situation that they need
fear anything from the favor of
the military situation. which Is for
the most part their own work.
They will not give up the fight,
but persist in their determination
to win, first for their country. and
then for themselves"

In line with these statements are
the views of another government Of
fetal. whose position gives SUFFICIENT
authority to his public utterances to
make them representative Of the
Administration attitude. He said:
The shifting Of workmen from
one business to another is a difi-
cult and slow process. All respon-
sible agents of the government now
realize that keeping labor reason
ably employed and only taking IL
away from nonwar work as fast as
1t can be employed on war work is
nearly as important for success in
this war as the manufa cture of mu-
nitions and ships"
shipyards Well Filled.
Shipping Board officials have an
nounced that nonessential workers
who must find useful employment or
light will not find a haven in ship
yards. The supply of workmen now
is adequate. it was said, and no
great increase of shipyard personnel
is contemplated.
In letter to the chairman of all
local draft boards. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo yesterday made an
appeal for personal work to the end
that every man who joins the col
ors Of his country" may know lust
what the government will do to pro-
tect his loved ones at home and to
