The "Temps" Zurich correspondent quotas an influential personage to the effect that the recent strikes nt Berlin and elsewhere were an organised protest against the projected offensive. The workers shrunk from tho sacrifice of life, and insisted that the offensive should he regarded as a means of peace, I and not another fruitless episode. It is also reported that a violent scene took place between the Kaiser and the Headquarters Staff. Von Ludendorff spoke so violently that the Kaisor, pale with passion, banged the table, and cried, "Aro you Emperor or am 1?" Ludendorff replied, "I am only a soldier, and want peace. I believe we can obtain it with this offensive."
