He arrived on a French liner after spending three and a hs.lf years as a student at the University of Munser, Westphalia, Germany. His standing as a priest enabled him to leave the Central Empires November 20, though not without difficulty, by way of Switzerland and from Switzerland he passed into France to get his steamer home. , "The present strike in Germany is not an ordinary strike, but a revi[ution/' he declared. "It has been| sxpected since last July and the| Government has prepared since then] to suppress it, and will do so. The military authorities still are too 3trong for the people to overcome. They will overcome the people under the iron fist until spring, when the new crop will be harvested and ivlffen the revolutionists will be appeased. Many Old People Dead. "Food is very short in Germany.! Most of the people above 50 or 551 pears of age have died. The death ate among the children has been stupendous. It is estimated that 90 per cent of the babies are born lead. "Food is not the only commodity! ;hat is short. Clothes, shoes and! practically everything used in ordi-J lary life is just as short. Most of j ;he shoes are made with wooden ; soles and with canvas or paper up)ers. v "The Germans can get no new ma-; ihinery. I can not speak abojit the nunitions works, as no one is allow-! ;d to go near them except the workers. ' j i "The personal suffering of the j1 jeople has become the great factor n the situation in Germany.

The people of Germany are not bitter against the people of the United States, but they are bitter against President Wilson. "When the Avar started, the people believed it was for defensive purposes, but ?as nation after nation, including the United States, joined the lists against them they began to realize something was wrong with their own Government. Bitter Against the Kaiser. "Now the German people are discussing Kaiserism. In Berlin the people are bitter against the Kaiser, and openly ridicule him> and the Crown Prince. The German people now generally feel Germany can not win the war and say so openly in the streets. " " * 94. " "Now that they Know we can ?. win, why are N they holding out?' I heard people demand. 'Why don't they make peace?f "The shortage of food is second only to the shortage of men. Me.n are called to the colors and never return. The women do all kinds of work. When you hear of'' a strike, don't think that the strikers are .all men. The Government can cow tlie men easier than the Women."

J Washington, Feb. 6.?Two months of war have cost the United States about seven billions, or at thg rate of twenty-four million dollars daily. More than half of this sum, or four billions, has been paid as loans to the Allies. About three billions % represent America's outlay for our own war purposes. The figures as computed from the , latest available Treasury figures show that expenditures are running below the official estimates made early in the war.
