ZURICH, Feb. 2.
The Twelfth Infantry Brigade, two sections of Alpine
guides and a signal company have been ordered mobilized
Wednesday to rc-enforcc the frontier guard, it was officially
announced today. The order is the result of "internal and
external conditions," it was explained.' Swiss labor unions
have demanded mobilization of the army.
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 2.
Leaders of the radical Socialists declared today they
r would attempt to call a general strike in Holland next week
as a protest against the food shortage and industrial conditions.
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 2.
Seven munition factories in Berlin have been placed under martial
law, and strikers have been ordered to return to work Monday under threat
of "military punishment," according to reports received here today. In
Dantzig and Dusseldorf a majority of the strikers have returned to work.
Martial law was proclaimed formally in Berlin, the proclamation
being read in the Schlossplatz follow inn the rolling of drums. Extraor
dinary courtmartial was announced.
The strike in Lcmberg was reported to be growing. The Frankfurter
Zeitung demands that the Government llnd some solution to end the strike.
The arrest of Dittmann, Independent Socialist, for addressing strikers,
greatly irritated members of that party, who are organizing a national
demonstration in protest.
Haase, Independent Socialist member of the Reichstag, sought Ditt
mnnn's release through Imperial Chancellor Hcrtling. Hertling replied
that he was powerless, as Itcrlin is in the hands of the military ofliciuls.
Philip Schcidcmann and Erederich Ebert, Socialist leaders, have also
conferred with the Chancellor.
REVOLUTION URGED IN LEAFLET
Demand for the pvcrthrow of 'the Imperial Government and the
establishment of a republic in Germany is contained irt one of the leaflets
circulated in Berlin and which helped to cause the strike. This leaflet,
a copy of which has been received here, says:"
Only by rising en masse, only by a general strike that shall
put a stop to all industrial activities and especially the war in
dustry, only by a revolution and by wresting from the hands of
tyrants a democratic republic for Germany, can a halt be called
to the international butchery and a general peace be brought
about.
Workers! Let us prepare for an immediate, stiff-necked
and determined action en masse. This is the only way to end
the torments and misery we are suffering.
The battle cry must be "Down with a separate peace!" Delay
no longer, German workers, men and women alike, but act, and
act with vigor, sparing none. Above all, we must not delay.
Now is the time to strike a formidable blow.
Information from Berlin insists
under the heavy pressure of the German army chiefs. '
That the German War Office regards tho situation as still serious,
however, was made apparent by new and drastic regulations to the in
dustrial, mining and shipbuilding centers, where the combined labor and
political agitations have been most ominous.
These regulations, issued in the form of proclamations, contain stern
warnings and dire penalties in the event they are disobeyed.
If the strike movement has actually waned and the men and women
.strikers are being forced back to work, the explanation probably lies in the j
lack of cohesion and the absence of centralized leadership. ;
SUNDAY TO BE CRITICAL BAY
Sunday is the favorite day for Socialist and labor demands throughout
Germany, and the military authorities have taken steps to maintain strict
order throughout the empire tomorrow.
Not only have public meetings been banned, hut civilians have been
warned to eliminate their "Sunday afternoon promenades." Armed police
will keep guard in Berlin, Danzig, Hamburg, Kiel, Bremen, Essen, Stetting,
Leipzig and other cities, where there have been signs of dangerous rest
Icssnees. Leaders of tho strike movement arc now making accusations of
treachery against some of the trade union officials, declaring that they

Ho apparently was resting comfort-

ho was attacked with a. fainting spill,
against which ho appeared to bo fight

forced to glvo up.
In tho meantime Hurke had summoned
a physician, but the old lighter had taken
tho count for tho last time.
"His mind was clear," Biui.o said.
"Just before he died ho said ho felt bet

when ho was licked. I to was lighting j

In the annals of pugilism In this coun
