??? P RULE OF Mm MAY HAVE ENDED Persistent Statements That German Emperor Has Abdicated PEACE SITUATION not fully clear ' ?i. J'\'t>0 l |! ' Stories from London, Paris and Holland say Wilsons _ i m ^ Terms Accepted. Washington. ? News of Germany is everywhere regarded here as the shadow of great events being cast before them. There is in Washington no official word that the kaiser has abdicated; or that ho has been over thrown; or that Germany s ready to accept all of President Wilson's terms. Officials and diplomatists, cautious and conservative by nature and practice regard with incredulity the intimations that one or all of these things has happened. Oi' course, they all hope they have; they all know that one or all of them ar<* inevitable. The official opinion in the capital is that coming of these things is timed only the unknown degree to which the Gorman military powe r has been brokt a. T re may bo more information on teat point in the chancellories of lingiand, France 4/ t and Italy tha i there is in Wa: lung ton. When President Wilson's reply to the German peace proffer went forth it was predicted here that if it did not bring a complete and unconditional surrender oi the military au4" s~\* 11O1 ?-* x r f 1> o ^ 1 ?\^ f 1 1 \ *\/\ v* 1 r* 4 V* uic uuiiuiiu nn mselves would force one. President Wilson's words were a plain invitation to the German people to take fuch a step and intimated that there would !>c no peace with kaiserism. 'Hie coining hours will show how the loaven has worked. The intimations in dispatches from London, Paiis and Holland su ;gest the progress of the ferment. Most significant of all is - regarded the report from Holland by way of London tha Germany will immediately reply to President Wilson accepting* all hi; terms and asking only guarantee for the interests of Germany and the German people. When the reply comes President Wilson's only i course will be to forward it to the cobelligerents. The guarantees dor the interests of Germany and the Gorman people do not intervene as an obstacle if guarantees an? thought of in sincere terms. If they are put forth as another vehicle for a quibble, an opportunity for diplomatic evasion and brickery, or a negotiated peace they will meet only one reSane Guarantees Ea y. I If they mearf guarantees for the! integrity and sovereignty or the1 Germany which is rightfully German always taking in the determinations of the human beings concerned, no obstacle is foreseen. If they mean that guarantees for the rights of the German people to live their lives under a peaceful responsible government which does not menace the life of the world, President Wilson's utterance on the subject, officials think, already have given the answer. If Germany accepts all his terms and attaches the condition of such guarantees it is considered that hardly less could be expected of her. Guarantees for the nterest of Germany involving only Germans, it was pointed out, are quite apart from the. self-determination of the oppressed nationalities in Austria for which President Wilson has pledged the peace to secure opportunity for an autonomous development. There always is the possibility that the conditions President Wilson has laid down as the basis for f peace already have come about ir Ciermany. Diplomats noticed tha Chancellor Maximilian sent a r.ot< and" that when the president answer ed with an inquiry it was Foreigi Secretary'" Solf and not the chancel lor who replied, and that Solf spok< of the new government which ha been formed in, Germany,. It woul? not be without krac&aent if' th peace; .'party in Gorjrr^py actuall; was in possession of an imperial res cript 6f other secret acts rcnounc ing the power of the kaiser and hi paity# when the reply to Presiden Wilson's inquiry was sent. It woul< not be without precedent if the r.ego * # f ' . . I / 4 , % N iation was begun wfth a maneuver .or tiic best possible terms and hold\g back the last card?the downfall of kaiserism. No mixed Commission. If the pivrequisities for an armisVice are accepted, the arrangements will be made, not by a mixed commis c-ion but by Marshal Foch and the cobelligerent commanders. These, as has been pointed out will be the means of taking from Germany every agency with which she could break her word if she would; the occupation by allied forces of sudh places as Strassburg, Metz and Coblenz; turnng over to the allies :of her fleet and submarine bases; with the recall of her submarines which dispatches hinted today she was ready to do, and the surrender of mu nitions of war, undoubtedly also the agencies by which others mght be produced, and probably by the employment of the great war machine plans of Germany to repair the industrial damage done in Belgium and France. Seeing is believing, one official declared tonght, and there will be no scraps of paper. In a military sense Germany would be treated as an individual prisoner of war?disarmed, and guarded. Allied forces placed in strategic positions could by invasion of Germany it* necessary enforce any terms. The allied war council in which President Wilson holds one vote it has long been known has agreed on these conditions as guarantees for supremacy of the allied armies. It can be stated with official au uhority that should Germany agror yO such an armistice the downfall o: haiscri m can be easily arranged at lie peace conference without danger f accepting a "negotiated peace." V'iiod forces wouM be in position to nfcrce the decisions of the pcac council. The two main questions i:i th minds of public men tonight arc, i ho Gcinr.an nulUavy power ready s broken a to be ready to arcnpt thes rms, And the recurring question what has become of the kaiser? Air of Confidence. Throughout the American capita' there is the calm air of confidence mixed with the evidence of determination. Pooplse are reading threw s bulletins at the windows and buying Liberty Bonds at the? curbs. When President Wilson sent wor to the country thai there would b "no relaxation of any kind" be mean' no rumors of peace should mine the Fourth Liberty Lorn: -on: of bis friends believe he miglit hav been thinking of making it. a "victory loan" for it is a fact that r Germny laid down her arms tomorrow the loan would have to go over for much of the money already hasbeen spent and the millions of troops in Europe must be provided for unil they can be returned home. The president was reading the latest dispatches tonight, making no ?omment and other officials were doing the same. The official air was sur-chrged with expectancy, but it was the expectancy which would not be surprised if Gorniam rallied to go on for a while longer, and made another attempt to saw 'something from the wreckage. | There were no official indication: of whether the German reply had boon started for Washington, if in ecd, it has been decided upon. o lAIKTQIA UlIMfiABV jmjusHM iiummui NEAR DISSOLUTION German Public Being Prepared for Break up of Dual Monarchy IT.

Every citizen Interested In the boys of his home town now at the front, and In the brave women who equally are serving their country abroad, lias an opportunity to show his appreciation of the sacrltice they are making. The opportunity comes as a result of the generosity and thought of Colonel William Lioyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and put into execution what is known as the Home Paper Service. Under the plan, every man and woman in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so bo kept in constant touch with the places and the ;>? oplo they know and love. Every branch of the United States (iovcrnment Is interested in the plan, j The Government realizes the Impor in nee or Keeping those in the service happy and constantly in touch with heir home ties and associations. Nothng is more depressing in a national Miiergency than the spirit of loneliness in those serving their count 1*3', and officials know that nothing can dispel [ this feeling more effectually than readng the home town newspaper. Publishers of newspapers in all parts of the country?this newspaper included? have grasped with pleasure the plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, snd they have agreed to co-operate in every way. Under tlie rilling of the War Industries Hoard newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers. The newspaper must be subscribed for in the regular way, the onI\* exception being soldiers who formerly were In the employ of the newspaper and who left that service to enlist. Colonel Thompson therefore proposes that the public in each community contribute to a fund so that the home newspaper (In our case this newspaper) may reach every man and womun now in the service of his country. >j , , J .
