LETTERS TELL TRUE
STORY GERMAN STRIKE
By Henry Wood,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the French Armies in the
Field, March 18.— (By Mail)—This is
the real story of the strikes which
took place in Germany during Feb-
ruary, as told by the German people
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 happen-
ed. Hundreds of these letters were
later taken from German prisoners
captured by the French in scores of
raids during February and March.
While the admission is made in
these letters that the strikes failed
to attain their end, open declaration
is made that they are only the fore-
runner of more serious demonstra-
tions. Extracts from these letters
follow:
Wannsee (Suburb of Berlin) Febru-
ary 7:—The workmen did not gain
anything from their strike at Ber-
lin and, unfortunately, two policemen
were killed and several wounded.
Several electric tramways were de-
molished but order has been restored
now and the factories are working as
usual. The leader of the strike. Depu-
ty Bettman, received five years im-
prisonment as punishment.
Gotha, Feb. 14:—You have un-
doubtedly already learned that strikes
took place in all the cities and vil-
lages and it was the same here. We
had six days of alarm but nothing
happened.
Dollstein, Feb. 15:—The postman is
here on leave of absence. He told me
today that where he corns from,
Munich, they say that we cannot make
another offensive and that even if we
arrive at Paris our enemies still
wouldn't make peace and that then all
the workmen of the German empire
would go on strike—for the last
strike was merely a test to see if
everyone was agreed. The Socialists
insist they will not allow another
million men to be sacrifice because
it still would not end the war.
Coblen, Feb. 8:—A big strike has
broken out at Berlin, Hamburg, Dus-
seldorff and in the other large cities.
You are not allowed to say just what
| has taken place, but we have re-
marked this fact, namely, that we
I have not succeeded. The strike was
suppressed early and the consequen-
ces naturally are that those who par-
ticipated are • incorporated now. and
I obliged to serve the empire. My
brother Frederik writes that the sit-
uation at Berlin was very grave. The
soldiers were not allowed to go out
of their barracks.
Lanweg, Feb. S:—At Berlin the
workmen have gone on strike. It
seems that it was rather serious, for
the strikers went so far as to parade
in the streets, carrying the red flag.
At Berlin alone between 150,000 and
190,000 workmen participated in the
strike. There was trouble in the other
! cities and villages as well. The work-
men insist on making peace.
Nuremberg, Feb. 1.—The rich are
afraid of a general strike enmasse.
People parade the street now carry-
ing banners with the motto "liberty
for Liebknecht." (The Socialist lead-
er.)
Alzenau, Feb. 10.—I am told that
Louis must leave for the front. He has
quit the service of equipment. They
are incorporating all the men here
on account of the strike.
Nuremberg, Feb. 11.—I know noth-
ing especially about the strike. At
Aegidenberg five orators spoke at
the same time and the working men
and working women paraded the
streets carrying banners which read
"peace and liberty."
London, April 4.—Only thriteen
British nierchantment were sunk by
subniarines during the week ending
March 30, acording to the admiralty
report. Of these, six were of 1,600
tons or over. Seven fishing vessels
also were destroyed.
This is the smallest toll exacted by
U-boats since the week ending Jan-
uary 20, when six vessels of more
than 1.000 tons and two small craft
were sunk.
