"IN GERMANY BY AUTUMN."
The Schleswig newspaper "Heimdal" about eight weeks ago printed from its Berlin correspondent a long article appearing in the Berlin press urging the Germans not to listen to the prop.-t----ganda of those who are going about the country demanding a general strike. "On our vast fronts," cays the writer, " the Russians, the British and the French are standing, and they will be in Germany by the autumn. They are two to one, and across the seas from Japan comes enormous masses of ammunition and food, while we have to depend upon what we produce ourselves. " The seven days' artillery fire of the British was murderous, and German reports admit the superiority of the British artillery. What is left for us, and what confidence can we have that these furious attacks upon the gateways of our empire will all fail ? It is essential now that nothing should be done to hamper the existing organisation, bo i»aat Germany would find > herself fighting not only against enemies from abroad, but against enemies at horn* as well."
