GERMAN GROWLS.
SLAUGHTER MUST STOP
LONDON, April 3. ' The Times correspondent at The Hague states that the beginnings of a dangerous popular discontent are visible in Germany as the result of the growing conviction that the offensive failed, combined with the knowledge of the heavy casualties. Fifteen hundred' stretcher cases arrived at Frankfurt Hospital, and in a few hours an apgry. crowd of 5000 made a demonstration, demanding that the terrible slaugher. in order to gratify one man’s ambitions should discontinue. A neutral observer from Germany and Austria states that the people are gravely dissatisfied andi sceptical. A widespread “inclination for early peace was noticeable. Austrian newspapers largely share in the scepticism, and state that actual starvation ip Vienna is causing an enormous death rate. The fataliles are attributed to some mysterious form of hungar typhus, and are baffling the doctors. Five thousand children haye been sent to the country in order to avoid infection.
