At the samo tltno tho Internal situ

The Stnto Department hns no ofllclal
confirmation of the leports that Filnce

Chancellor, that Havariu has depose I
her King and became n lepubllc, and
that the revolt Is growing In tho Her
man navy. But then- Is little reason
to doubt th it a Socialistic overturn In
Gei many Is In process.
The resignation of I'l Inco Max has
boon expected from the outset His was
obviously only n stopgap mlnlstiy
Hither It vvouk bo followed by a le-ac

does not follow his party In demanding
the Kaiser's abdication Ho hns been
willing to see the Kaiser shorn of

that his resignation shoulel come ami
that an attempt should bo mado by
the more radical Socialists to form a
