WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, March 1S.-(by mail-
This is the real story of the strikes
which took place in Germany during
February as told by the German peo-
pie themselves.
Although the German censorship
suppressed at the time all but the
most perfunctory news concerning the
strikes, it did not succeed in keeping
the German people from writing to
their fathers, sons and brothers at the
front telling them what had happened.
Hundreds of these letters were later
taken from German prisoners captur-
ed by. the French in scores of raids
during February and March.
While the admission is made in
these letters that the strikes failed 10
attain their end, open declaration is
made that they are only the forerun-
ner of more serious demonstrations.
Extracts from these letters follow:

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Myster-
iously murdered, perhaps by German
spies, James King. sixty, night watch
man for the committee on public in
formation, was found lying in the Of
flee building hallway here early TO-
day.
That he had tried to battle off his
assailant was shown by the fact that
the revolver he had carried had been
snapped four times, but without eX-
ploding.
King was shot through the side
and was dead when found by commit
tee employees.
The shooting occurred between
4:3O and $50 a. M, as can be check
ed. He had been seen ut about 80.
No trace of the murderer has been
found up to early this forenoon. A
hurried search of the committee
archives, containing mass OF CON
fidential information of high import
ance, failed to show that the muir
derer had obtained anything, nor was
there any clue TO indicate he had a
chance to 7ry into the documents.
The only persons about the com
mittee offices at the time of the shoot
ing were COoTPu CISdISIS. DuL lL4Sy
all appeared to be too frightened. to
cast any light on the situation.
The shooting occurred within a
half block of the white house, the
state. war and navy building and only
a stones throw from several other
important government building. The
committee headquarters are on Jack
son place running directly past the
white house executive offices.
King had opened the front door to
let in cleaners at 1870. That was
about the last time he could be deflT-
itelv placed and the authorities had
difficulty in getting any tangible
clue as 10 what happened between
that time and the time when he
tried vainly to fire at his assalants.
The shooting occurred in the hall
way entrance to the building where
King always sat ar his desk on guard,
