POPULAR DISCONTENT IN GERMANY OVER OFFENSIVE.
KNOWLEDGE OP CASUALTIES AROUSES PEOPLE. Tim „ # LONDON, April 8. The Hague correspondent of the Times reports that beginnings of dangerous popular discontent are visible in Germany as a result of the growing conviction that the offensive has failed, combined with the knowledge of heavy casualties. Fifteen hundred stretcher cases arrived at Frankfort Hospital in a few hours. An angry crowd made a demonstration, demanding that slaughter in order to gratify one man's ambition should not continue. A neutral observer from Germany and Austria states that the people are gravely dissatisfied and sceptical. There is a widespread inclination in favour of an early peace. The Austrian newspapers largely share the scepticism. They state that actual starvation in Vienna is causing an enormous death-rate, attributed to a mysterious form of hunger typhus, which is baffling the doctors.
