Wilhelm II, resigning king )f the monarchy of Wurttem)urg, is declared to have abdijated Friday night, and re)orts have it that the Grand Duke of Hesse, ruler of the *rand duchy of Hesse, has detreed the formation of a coun;il of state to take over the government there. Every dylasty in Germany is to be suppressed and all the princes exled. according to a Swiss ad J noes.

In Berlin there has been some ighting between the revoluionists and reactionaries in riiich several persons were rilled or wounded. The palace | >f the Crown Prince has been aken over by the revolutionsts. "Long live the republic," ind the singing of "The Marleillaise" have been heard in he streets of the capital.

He is now plain William Hohenzollern, a fugitive in Holland. With his fall topples into ruin William's mad design to rule the world. For the allies the problem has changed. The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from the war completely triumphant, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of the whole world stalks revolt, famine and anarchy. The world's next task may be to restore order in the desolated central empires. It may be the lot of the former who have successfully contested Germany's greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia. Likewise help will have to be given to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, nnr] TnrVov wVinso miri fj-pr many wrought. The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of the war. In Russia, Austria-Hungary and finally in Germany irresponsible power gave way before the irresistible forces of democracy.
