U-BOAT DRIVE IS FAILURE
Germany Said to Be Disappointed
Over Success of Campaign.
WASHINGTON. April SI. Disap
pointment In Germany over the lack of
success of the submarine campaign is
pictured as severe In dlspatchea yester
day from Swltaerland. Bitter criticism
of the Admiralty, the dispatch says, has
followed the realization that the under
sea war is not accomplishing what waa
claimed for It In the beginning. One
dispatch saya:
The accounts In the Berlin papers
of the recent debates let It be clearly
perceived In spite of tbe censor the
severity of the criticisms which have
come to light. The German admiralty
waa attacked by the deputlea of almost
every party, while 'Admiral von Capelle
bad constantly to resort to the plea of
extenuating circumstances for the pow
erlessnesa of tbe German navy to ob
tain the results calculated."
BT BLANCHE SLOCUM.
(Copyright. 1918, by The Tribune. Company.)
N Germany today you hear that "Bel-
glum waa a blunder and that The
Lusitania" waa a blunder, and such
confessions are not merely the unbur
dening of contrite hearts, they express
hatred of the German imperial govern
ment the government that has mis
managed this war. and, by misman
aging it, raisea up
new enemies, made
the name "German"
a hissing and a by
word among all na
tions outside the
central empires and
brought down In
tolerable woea upon
the German people.
But even among
those Germans who
now call the inva
slon of Belgium i
crime little Is
known regarding
German atrocities in
seiBluni infl inuu-
strous outragea committed, not In vio
lation of army orders, but in strict obe
dlence to army orders. On the other
hand. Germans still swallow the stories
of frightful things done to German sol
dlera by tbe Belgians yes, and to Ger
man Red Cross nurses.
"Terrible people, the Belgians," you
heard Germans say later on. "Nobody
can manage thara." German officials
said this, firmly convinced that It was
unreasonable of the Belgians not to lie
down more amiably under German op
pression. Not that Germans called it
oppression, bowever. If they forced
Belgiana to make ammunition for tbe
German army It waa "because the poor
wretches were starving." If they
stripped Belgian mills of machinery and
took It to Germany It waa because the
machinery atood idle: why leave It there
when it contained metals the father
land sorely needed 7
Kaiser aaaetlana Atrocities.
At the outset nothing In - German
newspapera Indicated that Germany
had violated the neutrality of Belgium.
According to the German press, Bel.
glum bad already taken aldea with the
allies. When German officials went
through the Brussels archivea the pa
pers printed In full the documenta that
were expected to prove It. They proved
no such thins. Keenly on the lookout
for convincing evidence, and finding
none. Germane were left wondering.
Did Germane regard the conquest of
Belgium as likely to end In annexa
tion? Some did. One day when I had
brought up the subject, not of annex
ation but of violated neutrality, I was
old: We have no outlet to the sea."
To the speaker's mind this seemed to
justify Invasion.
Even today King Albert Is no hero
n Germany. It would astonish most
Germane to discover how he has been
worshiped elsewhere. But thejr per
fectly understand today why Belgium
resisted, and "hey have long since out
grown the mood that Justified the vio
lation of Belgium on grounda of mili
ary necessity.
And those who said In the beginning
that stories of German atrocities in
Belgium were got up by the British
In order to make America join the
allies have lived fo see America do
ust that and to feel that, while Bel-
glum was by no meana the chief cause
of Amerlca'a action. It was neverthe-
ss one of many contributing causes.
Ran Brutality Stirs World.
And not of Amerlca'a -action alone.
The whole world over Germany's treat
ment of Belgium stimulated anti-Ger
manism. When nation after nation
loop up arma against Germany, Ger
many heard repeated the aame charges
of brutality toward Belgum. n each
Instance they appeared, to some de
gree, the explanation of hostile senti
ment. Germany had got Antwerp, but
not Paris, and had lost her good name.
When a German subnfarine sank the
Lusitania it waa at first reported that
the vessel had struck., mine. Then
came official admission along with tbe
now familiar excuses: "They were
warned." "The Lusitania was a British
warship armed with cannon," "She
carried passengers as a protection for
enough shells to kill 5000 Germans,
"We never expected her to go down so
quickly: it was exploding ammunition
that sent her to the bottom before the
passengers had a chance to escape.1
At that stage no one seemed to
reckon with tbe consequences. When
President Wilson's note arrived Ger
mans thought he was bluffing. They
continued ao to think when jiote fol
lowed note a whole series and noth
ing happened. They have got their
eyes open now.
And Uielr consciences are troubled,
not only aa concerns the Lusitania, but
as concerns submarine warfare in gen
eral. To be sure, they will give papier
mache U-boats to their children and
call submarine warfare "wonderful,"
yet alwaya they say, "It's an awful
thing, but what else can we do?"
Belgian People Suffer.
They begin ..to question, however, if
there Is not "another motive for Ger
many's undersea warfare 'besides ne
cessity. I would sometimes corner a
German and say, "You Germans mean
to keep. .up this until only German
ahips are afloat. Your object Is to
seize the world's ' maritime carrying
trade when the war comes to an end
and monopolize It aver after." At that
my German would look surprised, but
I thought that what surprised him was
less the Idea Itself than the discovery
that a foreigner had detected It. I got
the Impression that it waa an Idea al
ready In hla mind. At any rate, he
failed to deny it.
This was significant, for Germans
are always on the defensive some
times cleverly as regards undersea
warfare. If they talked about It less,
I should have had more faith in the
sincerity of their arguments. And If
they talked about Belgium less.
should have had more faith in their
arguments about Belgium. This eter
nal "We had to do it" has a false
ring, especially when they keep bring
ing up the aubject without provoca
tion. It haunta them. They can't let
it alone.
Living In Germany and talking with
all classes, from servants up to the
very rich, and quitting German sou
only In January. 1918. I saw the popu
lar attitude toward the Invasion oi
Belgium and the sinking of the Lusi
tania change little by little till I wit
nessed a complete right-about lace.
What brought this about? Judgment
sobered by time? Conscience, slow to
act at first, but tremendously active at
the last? Such was not my Impression.
thought the change brought about
not by an increase oi enngnienmeni
within the German head or by a new
tenderness In the German heart, but
rather by a huge vacuum in the oer-
man atomach.
The Belgian outrage, committed in
order to shorten the war, prolonged
the war. The Lusitania outrage, com
mitted to shorten the war. helped bring
America In. and now the war must con
tinue still longer. What gigantic, what
stupendous blunders. How cruel in
their effect on the German masses!
For the German Imperial government
was right at one point: Unless the war
was quickly ended, Germans would go
hungry.
The German masses want peace. Tne
hungrier and raggeder and more
wretched they grow the more desper
ately they want It- As they look back
they tell themselves: "Except for Bel
gium and the Lusitania we might have
peace today"

WASHINGTON. April II. The feel
ing In Austria is one of despair, de
spite the claims Germany Is making to
what the offensive will accomplish, ac
cording to an official dispatch from
France.
"In spite of all the sensation the Ger
mans are making in Austria about
their offensive." says the dispatch.
they are preserving a definite apprer
elation of the painful situation with
which the monarchy Is struggling. The
full difficulties are Inextricable.
Heavy clouds are gathering is Bohemia
and among tbe Jugo-blava and even
the decisive and rapid victory promised
by the Germans would not bring much
relief to the present perplexities of
Austro-Himgary.
"This Is at least the opinion of the
arbiter Zeltung. of ienna. which says:
After the war we shall have to pay
Germany a huge sura In interest. But
we shall also still be tbe debtors to
France and to England, to which we
shall owe huge sums. Our agriculture
will need machinery from America and
Algerian phosphates. In order to be
clutbed and shod, we shall need cotton
from America and Indies, wool from
Australia and South Africa, hides from
America and Russia. e shall need
cereals from Roumania and Ukrainla,
meat from the Lnlted Mates and the
Argentine, oleaginous plants from the
tropics, coffee from Brazil, rubber from
the Congo, copper from the United
Statea and nickel from Canada. And
for all that we shall have to pay and
uae foreign nations for transport whose
freight rates will be high.
"But how shall we pay these billions?
In goM? We have none. In merchan
dise? Our exports are Insignificant as
compared with these Importations.
Issue a foreign loan? A loan ot several
billions is the only means of re-establishing
our exchange and who will lend
It to us? Germany? She will have
enough to do to secure our annual debt
of 1. 300.000.000. Holland and Switzer
land? They are small countries.
"Our entire economic future will de
pend upon whether . the American
money markets are open to us or
closed. But we cannot force America
to lend ua money. Tbe soldiers of
Hindenburg cannot advance to the
other side of the ocean. We shall only
have. then, these necessary billions If
America Is friendly to us after the
war; if there Is between the United
States and ourselves no disputed ques
tion." The conclusion which the Socialist
paper makes la that the famous Hln-,
denburg offonsive can only procure for
tbe central empires a "hunger peace."

Smolny Institute, headquarters of the
Rnlahevikl. Is on the edge of Petrograd.
Tears ago it was considered "way out
in the country," but the city grew out
to meet it, engulfed it and finally
claimed It as its own. Smolny is an
enormous place; the great main build
ing stretches in a straight line for hun
dreds of feet, with an ell jutting out at
each end and forming a sort of elon
gated court. Close up to tne norm
ell snuggles the lovely little Smolny
convent, with Its dull blue aomes wiin
the silver stars. Once young lames ot
noble birth from all over Russia came
here to receive a "proper" education.
I came to know Smolny very well
while I was In Russia. I saw it change
from a lonely, deserted barracks Into
busy, humming hive, heart and soul of
the last revolution. I watched the lead
ers, once accused, hunted and lmpris
oned. raised by the mass of the people
of all Russia to the highest places In
the nation. They were borne along on
the whirlwind of radicalism that swept
and Is still sweeping Russia, and they
themselves do not know how long or
how well tbey will be able to ride that
whirlwind. ...
Tramp of Proletariat Tteaonads.
Smolny was always a strange place.
In the long, dark hallways where here
and there flickered a pale electric light
thousands and thousands of soldiers and
sailors and factory workers tramped
with their heavy, mud-covered boots
every day.' All the world seemed to
have business at Smolny. The once
polished white floors over which tripped
tbe light feet of careless young ladies
became dark and dirt-stained and the
great building shook with the tramp of
the proletariat.
I ate many of my meals in the big
mess hall on the ground floor with the
soldiers. There were long, rough wooden
tables and wooden benches and a great
air of friendliness pervading every
thing. You were always welcome at
Smolny If you were poor and If you
were hungry. We ate with wooden
spoons, the kind the Russian soldiers
carry In their big boots, and all we
had to eat was cabbage soup and black
bread. We were always thankful for it.
too, and always afraid that perhaps to
morrow there would not be even that.
We stood in long lines at the noon hour
chattering like children. "So you are
an American Tavaritche well how
does it go now in America?" they would
say to me.
Lenlne Holds Himself Aloof.
Upstairs in a little room tea was
served night and day. Trotzky used to
come there and Kollental and Splro
donova and Kamineff and Volodarvsky
and all the rest except Lenlne. I never
saw Lenlne at either of these places.
He held aloof and only appeared at the
largest meetings and no one got to
know him very well. But the others I
mentioned would willingly discuss
events with us. In fact, they were very
generous about giving out the latest
news.
In all the former classrooms type
writers ticked incessantly. Smolny
worked 24 hours a day. For weeks
Trotzky never left the building. He
ate and slept and worked in his office
on the third floor and strings of people
came in all day long to see him. All
the leaders were frightfully over
worked; they looked haggard and pale
rrom toss or sleep.
In the great white hall, once the ball
room, with its graceful columns and
liver candelabria, delegates from the
Soviets all over Russia met in all-night
essions. men came straight from the
rst line trenches, straight from the
fields and the factorres. Every race in
Russia met there as brothers. Men
poured out thetr souls at these meetings
and they said beautiful and terrible
things.
"Something's Got to Be Done."
I will give you an example of the
speeches of the soldiers:
A tired, emaciated little soldier
mounts the rostrum. He is covered with
mud from head to foot and with old
blood-stains. He blinks In the glaring
light. It Is his first speech, and he be
gins It like this, in a shrill, hysterical
shout:
"Tovarltchl! I come from the place
wnere men are digging their graves and
calling them trenches! We are forgot
ten out there in the snow and the cold.
We are forgotten while you sit here
ana aiscuss pontics: l tell you the
army can't fight much longer we can't
hold out much longer! Something's got
to be done! Something's got to be done!

diers' committees and the soldiers are

Hums .
Then the peasants would gefun and
beg for their land. The land commit
tee, they claimed, were being arrested
by the Provisional Government. They
had a religious feeling about the land.
They said they would die fighting for
the land, but they would not watt any
uuKer. ii was not given to them
now, they would go out and take it.
"Peace, Land aad Bread," the Cry.
And the factory workers told of the
sabotage of the bourgeoisie, how they
were ruining tne delicate machinery
so that the workmen could not run the
factories: shutting down the mills so
they would starve. It was not true.
they cried, that the workers were get
ting fabulous sums they couldn't live
on what they got.
Over and over and over like the beat
of the surf at the seashore came the
cry of all starving Russia, "peace, land
and bread!" I think it would be very
unjust to blame the leaders for any
of the steps they took, because my
observation was that they were always
pushed into these actions by the great
will of the majority. It is certainly
foolish to think also that the peasants
were Isolated from Smolny. One of the
most spectacular events that happened
In Petrograd since the revolution was
the two-mile parade of peasants from
6 Fontanka, where they were having
the meeting of the All-Russian Peas
ants' Congress, to Smolny, just to show
their approval of that institution. The
parade was decided upon after a speech
of Lenlne.
So many different organizations had
offices in Smolny. There worked the
now - famous military revolutionary
committee in Room 17, on the top floor.
This committee, which performed some
extraordinary stunts during the first
days of the Bolshevik uprising, was
headed by an 18-year-old boy by the
name of Lazarimov. It was a busy
room, couriers came and went, foreign-

ers stood in line to get passes to leave
the country, suspects were brought
in. '
Antonoff, the War Minister, had an
office in Smolny as well as Krylenko
and Dubienko, so it was the nerve cen
ter for the army and navy, as well as
the political center.
In the corridors were stacks of
literature which the people gobbled up
eagerly. Pamphlets, books and official
newspapers of the Bolshevik party like
Rabotchl Foot and the Isvesta by the
thousands were disposed of daily.
Soldiers, dead-weary, slept in the
halls and on chairs and benches in un
used rooms. Others stood alert and on
guard before all sorts of committee
rooms, and if you didn't have a pass
like the one reproduced here you didn't
get in. The passes were changed fre
quently to keep out spies.
In many windows were machine guns
pointing blind eyes into the cold Win
ter air. Rifles were stacked along the
walls and on the stone steps before the
main entrance were several cannon. In
the court were armored cars ready for
action, Smolny was always well
guarded.
No matter how late the meetings
lasted, and they usually broke up about
4 o'clock In the morning, the streetcar
employes kept the cars waiting. When
the heaviest snow storms blocked up
the traffic, soldiers and sailors and
working women came out on the
streets and kept the tracks clear to
Smolny. Often it was the only line
running in the city.
II have often heard that Smolny was
the bought establishment of- the Ger
man imperialists. I have tried to give
a true picture of Smolny. It was not
the kind of a place that an imperialist
of any sort would have been comfort
able in. I never heard any leader or
any of the thousands of soldiers, work
ers or peasants who came there express
one trace of sympathy for the German
government. They had, however, the
same feeling that President Wilson has
about speaking of the people of Aus
tria and Germany over the heads of
their autocratic military leaders.
