The Berlin press says the movement in Berlin has reached a cli-I max and that it is losing its effective ifss. Reports received at Amsterdam f'om other industrial sections say that the ike is not getting fufl support. More than 700,000 workers have been reported on strike in Bei '.in. There are reports of new strikes hi the Dortmond mining district and i I in Danzig and Munich, while it is said ; the strikers in Nuremburg, Bavaria, have returned to their tasks. Military Operations Military operations on the western front aim still of a minor character, On the front l>etween Asiago and the Brcnta, the Italians persist in their attacks, although not in such a large | scale as earlier in the week. Now I ' Italian positions west of the Frenzola ; valley have been extended. Berlin says J that the new Italian attacks near ; Asiago have been repulsed. ! A severe blow to the ambitions of ; the Ukranian republic appears to have 'been dealt in the capture of Kiev, tho temporary capital, by the Boshevitcl. The city is said to have surrendered i after four shots had been fired. The peace negotiations between Russia and the Central Powers havt reopened at Brest-Litov.sk.

'I us had Hon* Walraff, minister of the interior. The actual situation Thursday is ex trcmely vague. The scarcity of news induces some correspondents in Holland to assume that the situation has grown worse, but they warn against attaching importance to the strike movement as far as the army is concerned. The Berne correspondent of The Daily Mail depreciates a loo ready assumption that the strike will have serious effects in Germany. He says no strike or revolt in Prussia can be taken seriously until it has won its st urs. Views of London Press. Newspaper opinion in London regarding the strike is divergent. Some papers incline to the belief that the strike really denotes the growing strength of a democratic spirit ;n Germany while others favor the view that the whole thing to a great extent has been engineered by the government for its purposes. The Daily News, while accepting with reserve the more extravagant accounts, thinks it is obvious that there has I I ? ? /1 . . 1 A .. peon spread mio uermany aim Austria some measure of the spirit which dethroned the Russian Emperor. It adds: "The tide for which President Wilson has so long and so patiently cut the channel is beginning- to flow at last. A cleavage between the German people and their rulers stands re vealcd but as yet the cleavage is no more than an incipient one."
