GERMANY BEGINS
 PREPARATION ID
 START BIC DRIVE
Hope of Success of Drive Used to Pacify LabOring Classes at Home-Bomb Hurled Against Kaiser's Palace.

Amsterdam, Feb. 5-Dispatches via Holland and Switzerland today tended to confirm an official announcement made in Berlin yesterday that the great strike is practically ended They transmitted, however, the prev iously successfully suppressed news that when the strike was at it's height a bomb was hurled against the kali ser's palace in Berlin. Details were lacking.
 The great majority of German workers appear to have returned to work. The military ultimatum threat ened execution, not for strikers, but for demonstrators and members of crowds, but since assembling of crowds and demonstrations constitute the very life of successful strikes the threat Init home" and on the sur face all is once more serene in the empire.
 Two serious consequences of the strike were indicated in today's dis patches, however:
 Two-A shake-up in the alignment of the political parties and the subse- quent brewing of new political bat tie.
 The labor rising has not, so far, brought about the breakup of the reichstag majority, much as the junk CTS hoped for it, since the "bloc" is still the pistol point aimed by awak- ening democracy at the autocratic order.
 For the present the militarists have the right of way, however, and the failure of the socialist attempt to force the convocation of the reich stag has given them time in which to materialize their plans. Had the reichstag been assembled, or were it to be assembled today the socialists, particularly the independents, would force a thorough debate of the pros and cons regarding the contemplated offensive in the west, debate the bitterness-and possibly the revela- tions of which the militarists feared would SOW the seed of distrust and Encouragement among the empires armed forces at a moment when they might be summoned to give the best that is in them.
 Intense fear in the hearts of those behind the front, lest this much ad- vertised Supreme drive" entail new hecatombs of life and blood without accomplishing what all the "glor- ious" drives of the past failed to ac- complish was perhaps the most pow erful factors at the basis of the big strike, it developed today.
