GERMAN SOCIALISTS
ATTACK HIGH PRICES
(By Associated Pren1 , BERLIN. Dec 20. Socialist news
papers and communist agitators are making much of the misery resulting
from unemployment, high co?t of
necessities and the winter, and are
contrasting the condition of the poor
with, the" prodigal spending of the profiteers. There is peihaps less extravagance than there was before the war, but the number of Idle and very
poor is said to be greater, and emphasizes present conditions. '
Workers for the "red revolution
with the slogan of "poverty and
profiteer," the ammunition they most frequently employ, are urging the overthrow of the government and the establishment of a dictatorship of the
proletariat to relieve the conditions they call intolerable. As the misery of the workless increase with the advancing winter they expect to gain enough strength to make an effort to overturn the present regime, which
they blame for the troubled economic conditions. Die Freiheit, organ of the Independent Social democratic party, issues an "earnest warning" to the government that conditions are coming to a head and that it will be ill for the administration if some tangible effort is not made to relieve idleness, it adds: "It is time for the capitalistic regime to take heed. . The proletariat has not
lost Its strength; It is growing stronger against that time when the hoar of decision shall striKe." - - .
British subjects who traveled at their own expense from the United States or other parts of the world to join their country's military forces during the war with Germany are entiUed to receive refunds of their passage money.
