STRIKE FAIRER
BERLIN, April i—Advices i*
ceived by the German government
state that (he strike which had been
inaugurated by the German radical
element on April first is slowly col
lapsing in the various industrial cen
ters.
The strike has been virtually a
failure thruout Wuertemberg, very
few of the workers obeying the strike
call.
The German goverment is greatly
pleased ever the failure of the radi
cal element to induce .some of the
German workers to accept their doc
trines and follow their leadership.
Representatives of the German
government stated, that they were
confident that the radicals, their
last effort having failed, would cease
embarrassing the government, a«
their position is full of difficulties and
further opposition would only tend
to delay the Peace negotiations.
NEWS NOTES
Five thousand volunteers for the
American Expeditionary Forces are
being called for by the Western Army
Department of San Francisco, accord
ing to a telegram received by the com.
manding officer at Fort Davis, who is

til further notice under the follow
ing special conditions. Only white
men to be accepted, the terms of en
listment to be for three years, en
listment to be limited to infantry -
cavalry, field artillery, engineer’
corps and niedical department. Sol
diers who are eligible for discharge
and re-enlistment under the existin'?
instructions may also be re-eulisttv#.

The telegram received by the Fort
Davis officials does not go into tiny
reasons for making this call for vol
unteers, but one guess being as good
as another we venture to say that
j this volunteer force is intended for
service in Russia.
