under martial law. The metal workers

as result of excesses committed hv
the troops. There iI a violent agita
tlon on foot for a general strike.
The fight in that city has become a
trial of strength between the hide
pendent Socialists and the Social
democratic party. The latter opposes
the strike council of railway work
men and has addressed a communica
tion to General Lettow-V -Vorbeck, com
mandng the troops in Berlin, protest
ing against the arrest of certain So
cialists.
Agricultural laborers in the districts

A general strike threatens, also
throughout all eastern Germany. The

Deplorable; American Aid
Depended On

John kendrick Bangs. representatives
OF the American Committee for Deva--

yesterday on the French liner Espagne

tie said the condition of the peasant
class in the Aisne district was deplor-
able, and was dependent for help upon
the generosity Of America until the
French government could furnish aid
after receiving the first instalment of
the indemnity from Germany.
There are more than one hundred
thousand of these peasant families in
the Aisne district" Mr.. Bangs said, "the
district assigned to lis for relief work.
Food is scarce and the majority of the
people are homeless. We are aiding
the small farmer by distributing seed
and helping him till the soil by the aid
OF tractors brought from the United
States, giving chickens, goats and rab-
bits, and selling household utensils and
furniture at wholesale cost prices"
Another traveller on the Espagne was

said, there were about 300 canteens

Of $6,O000O0. 1t is no wonder that
such an enterprise should have some

Death Germ Duel
OF Doctors Set for
Fall at St. Paul
Officials Take No Action to
Halt Medical Rivals Who
Will Expose Selves to
Test Theory of Disease
Special Corresnon1e.,

optcio@ correspondence
ST. PAUL, July 15.--No steps have
been taken by either the local or the
state authorities to prevent the pro.
posed germ duel to the death between
Dr. H. A. Zettel, an clectropath, and
Dr. H. ". Hill, executive secretary
of the Minnesota Public Health Asso-
citation. Meanwhile both men are
preparing for the contest, which will
take place in the fall.
Or. Zettel is the unbeliever, who
came forward to represent DR.. John
g. Frazer. of Toronto, who started all
the argument by published article
challenging any board OF health to
prove that germs kill DR.. Hill is
the defender of the germ theory. He
Will be vaccinated and inoculated
against the most deadly diseases. in
cluding typhoid, smallpox and the bu-
bonlc plague. DR.. Zettel will rely
only on sanitation, pure air and proper
food and drink to escape the effects of
exposure to the germs
DR.. Hill does not believe that the
test would be illegal, but he said re-
cently that permission would have to
be obtained from the health authori-
ties.
Before we entered into the test of
theories" he said, "either Dr. Frazer
or DR.. Zettel would have to give a legal
document clearing US of any blame.
Ihey would also have to arrange with
their insurance companies"
A touch of the grim possibilities of
tragedy is found in the letter written
by DR.. Zettel to DR.. Hill. Part of the
letter reads as follows:
II will further agree that the sur
vivor shall be honorary. pallbearer for
the victim, and should we both be for
tunate enough to survive we will hold a
grand rally at the Auditorium and tell
the people of our experiences"

The next speaker was Pete- Golden,
who, In discussing the possibility Of
bloodshed in Ireland, expressed the
hope that 1t would be English blood.
Wants Life for Life
He added: "If there are lives sac
riticed in Ireland I hope that they
are British lives; if Irishmen in Ire
land are forced to give their lives in
defence of their homes I hope that
for every Irishman that falls the Irish
race all over the world will see to it
that at least an equal number of Eng
lishmen fall"
At this point member Of the audi
ence, woman, expressed the hope
"that it would be ten to one." Golden
went on to say that the meeting was
held to voice sympathy with all the
oppressed peoples of the world, includ-
ing Russia. He said that the Irish peo-
pie were not as afraid of the Bolshe-
wiki as some people were, but were
certainly suspicious of anything Eng
land did. The audience applauded
vehemently, every reference made to
the Bolsheviki
After referring to the "unscrupulous
and infamous blackguard John Bull"
Golden said: eve won't stand for

place English militarism."

President Wilson, according to
Golden, would have made an excellent
British PREMIER" and, still discussing
the President, referred to him as a
"wordy" gentleman. This and all other
references to the President was greeted
with derisive laughter.
What are you going to do about it p
Golden finally demanded. "You can't do
it by talking. I'll tell you what you
ought to do, you can kick out of ex-
istence, SO that it can never again come
