UHF2 END , TE3l8 TO BEI NEAR FOlR DESPOTI0 CONiitOL I'uiers of 6terniany andl Austi-ilun, gary Itealize at Last That People Must, he Aloiwedi Some Vokee In GJovernment. Washington, Oct. 2.-Signs are mul tiplying in reports reaching the state department from various agencies in neutral European countries of the rapid weakening of the despotic con trol which the military elements In Germany and Austria have imposed upon the civilian population. So ex tensive and consequential are the events quickly following one another in Berlin and Vienna, that American officials are becoming convinced that the imperial rulers have been forced, however reluctantly, to the conviction that If they are to preserve (heir dynasty from destruction they must yield to the growing demands of the civilian elIents for the right of par ticipatinlg in the government duta ring this crisis. The military parties have reiineld their control only he'luse of their as srted ability to secure a mtilititary Ie cislon that would confirm German su premacy over continental Iiurope and the British isles at well. Now that the German armies are being defeated and dinven lhack into Germany and the nation is conf'ronted with the painful certainty and a retributive jiustice for the wrongs inflicted upon the French and Helgians, the Influence of the Pan Germans and military parties is wan Ing, and It is believed that the two emperors have decided that If they are to retain the support of the people they must turn to. (lhe civilian parties that have been demanding a voice in affairs. It was pointed out today that Presi dent, Wilson has repeatedly declared that with the military rulers of he contral powers conviteed of broken faith and decei thri enn h.e no dis icusilon of the peace with which the Genm 11111People apparently are clam oring9. Hence the belated attempts of the emperors to erect a strutuare of real democratic government through the creation of cabilets responsible to the parliaments lin the hope that witi these the entento statesmien will be willhig to confer about peace. Indications of such a purpose are discerned by American ollicials in va rious utterances and acts of the Ger man and Austrian leaders. In his ac ceptance of the resignation of Premier von lertling, Em3niperior William ap pealed to Uhe strong men of Germany to come to his aid and share the bur dens of government, a direct bid for the support. of the socialists and cen terists in return for participation in the cabiinet. Then there are the statements in lealding German newspapers indignant because they passed the scrutiny of tlhe Geriman censors, that the creation of a responsible cabinet is under con sideration. Next is the refusal of the Socialists to enter tIhe goveInmentVII as at. present constituted. As a half way measure and ii a desperate efforl. to Save tle imperial prerogative, IEmmperor William has already tried the expedi enlit of himself selecting leaders of Ilie opposition parties for minor places inl the cabinet and promising to forward the enactiment of popular measures. lilut the Socialists have generally dec (llined to accept anything short of ab solutc control through the reichstag of the cabinet without reference to the wishes of the emperor. Such a change In Germany doubt less would be followed, if not indeed precede by a similar revolution in Aus trian parliamentary government, and it Is fully expected that as soon as a real representative government is a fact. in the central empires there will be( a it rresistable movement towards peace, even on the terms laid down by l 'reieii t Wilson.
