MARTIALLAW
AND THREATS
CURBSTRIKERS
Fear Causes Germans to
Abandon Strife, but Inter,
! nal Affairs Are Serious.

Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-The German
strike as national movement is vir-
tualiy over. Martial law, the threat Of
execution and the withholding from
the strikers Of food and strike bene-
fits combined in crushing IL.
Large numbers Of workers returned
TO work yesterday. not waiting for the
military regime ultimatum TO ex-
pire. Their days of grace were up to-
day. In isolated cities and provin-
cial places labor troubles continue
but their early end is generally an
ticipated. aa>sfs
The fact that Philip Scheidemann
and other Socialist leaders deserted
the strikers cause Just when the
movement promised to develop into a
real menace to the government. led to
the belief In some quarters here that
a bargain was concluded between
these leaders and the government In
the critical moment.
This belief was strengthened by the
news that DIR. Won Kuehlmann and
Count Czernin, the Teuton foreign
secretaries. have been suddenly called
from Brest-Litovsk TO take part In
important political and economical
conferences.
Since neither Berlin nor Vienna
could afford at this stage to break on
the parleys with the Bolshevil1i, 1t is
argued some understanding must have
been reached toward the modification
OF the German peace aims In the east,
and that the reason for the buried
visit of the two statesmen is that they
are to receive corresponding instruc-
tons
Blu garia Dissatisfied.
In equally well informed quarters,
however, the theory is that behind this
hurry call to Kuehlmann and
Czernin is the reported dissention in
the central alliances councils over
Buigsria's war aims.
Bulgaria Is said to be greatly
wrought UP ever the failure Of her
Teuton allies explicitly to indorse
her terms before all the world. Both
Count Won Hertling and Count
Czernin utterly ignored her In their
recent peace speeches. Significant in
this connection may be the fact that
Lloyd George, too, omitted all REP
rences to Bulgaria in his last peace
aims speech
But whatever the connection may
be between the ending Of the strike
and the developments at Brest-
LItovsk. Germany has, for the
moment at least, averted the danger
Of internal collapse.
Deterrent examples have been made
Of the arrested strike leaders. One
ef Them. Heinrich Sehnitze, was given
six months imprisonment by the
special court martial. A similar
sentence is reported to have been
nneted out to Wilhelm pittmann, the
Reichstag deputy.
The Fatheriand party's organs
Incanwhile are irdulging in bitter re-
ordinations against England whom
they accuse OF having engineered the
strike through paid agents
President Kaempf. Of the Reichstag.
Berlin dispatches state, refused the
Socialist appeal for immediate con-
vocation of that body to discuss the
strike. He gave as a reason, that

Because We are in the war in the

therefore seems desirable that a plan
of control be made effective In case
the distributing companies are unable
to transport as required fuel oil to all
consumers now being served.
