RESTS WITH GERMAN PEOPLE
Teutons Are Confronted With Problem
of Keeping Kaieer and War or
Overthrowing Him and Se
curing Desired Peace.
Amsterdam, Oct. 17*—Emperor
William has issued a decree say*
Ing that martial law in Germany
can only be administered by an
agreement between the civil and
military authorities, aocordlng to
a report received here.
London, Oct. 17. The Offfelal
Press Bureau is officially Informed
that the reports published to the
effect that Germany has capitu
lated have no foundation in fact.
Washington, Oct. 17.—With startling
dispatches coming from neutral cap
itals regarding a sudden and complete
capitulation of Germany to President
Wilson's peace terms, diplomats here
were prepared for any sort of news
from Berlin. They discounted these
reports, however.
The situation in Washington
Is
this: There is a possibility, not to be
denied, of course, that the German
people might arise and dethrone the
kaiser, or he might abdicate and thus
the Hohenzollern bar to complete ac
ceptance of the Allied terms as out
lined by the President might be re
moved. But that is only a possibility
—and one far removed when the sheep
psychology of the German people is
considered.
Revolution Still Verboten.
The leaven of revolution, which it is
believed here the President's note may
have instilled in the German public,
will work more slowly, conservative
observers and supporters of the Wil
sonian diplomacy believe. It must not
be forgotten that revolution in Ger
many is verboten.
The news reports, however, were
undoubtedly of more or less signifi
cance. They may have originated
through any number of sources—an
enthusiastic peace-seeking German
newspaper, defying the all-powerful
military censor, for instance. Or they
may have been an inspirted report
directed by the ever-working propa
ganda department of the German gov
ernment. Or they may have had some
basis of fact. Time only will tell.
In the America and the
.Allies are .I*v. wVn the war. The
'President has put it up to the German
people and the longer they bow to the
mandate of the kaiser the thinner
their fortune becomes the more in*
evitable becomes defeat.
It is not to be overlooked, also, that
:the
rumor factories got busy at the
,very moment the German armies were
preparing to take their first great step
toward the evacuation of Belgium—a
step, however, that was instigated by
the armies of Field Marshal Foch in
stead of under a Hindenburg-dictated
truce with the Allies.
SIX BILLION DOLLARS
MORE FOR WAR PURPOSES
Military Deficiency Bill Provides for
An Army of Five Million
Men.
Washington, Oct. 17.—The military
deficiency bill carrying $6,345,755,000
for the enlarged war program, was
reported to the House by the appro
priations committee. It provides
$6,152,062,000 for the army, $107,217,
000 for the navy and $70,000,000 for
family allowances of soldiers and sail
ors.
An army of about 5,000,000 men, 80
divisions in France, and
18 In
train­
ing at home by July next is what the
new program calls for. To prepare
and maintain it the amount now pro
posed is sought in addition to $17,500,
000,000 provided by the annual army
bill of appropriations and authoriza
tion for the year up to $36,000,000,000.
EMPEROR'S GRANDSON
MAY BECOME KAISER
Gsrman
Officials
Are Figuring on
Plan to Save Present
Dynasty.
Paris, Oct. 17. According to a
source of information nofr* without
value, Berlin is considering how Em
peror William can disappear without
endangering the dynasty, says a dis
patch from Geneva to the Temps. One
solution being considered, it is said,
is the abdication of the emperor in*
favor of his grandson, William, the
oldest son of the German crown
prince, with the emperor's brother,
Prince Henry, as regent.
German Propaganda Probe.

EXPECTS MET TO SUCCOM
WASHINGTON HEARS NATION
BORDERS ON COLLAPSE.
Austria-Hungary Also In 8erlou|
Plight and Cannot Stand
Strain Much Longer.
Washington, Oct. 17.—With their ar
mies everywhere in retreat before su
perior Allied forces, and with the stern
determination of the United States
and the Entente to aocept no com
promise impressively enunelated by
President Wilson, Germany and her
vassals now face the supreme crisis of
the war.
What Germany and Austria-Hungary
and Turkey will do, with inevitable de
feat impending, is the question of the!
hour. Whether to fight on in a hope
less cause, capitulate on Allied terms,
or execute a new maneuver of their
peace offensive in the hope of reach
ing a compromise which will avert car
tastrophe, sums up the situation for
the Central Powers.
It is confidently expected that Tur
nkey will be the first of the three suiS
vlving members of the quadruple al
liance to succumb to the effect of the
lultimatum delivered by President Wll
Jaon. As a belligerent Turkey is tot
tering on the verge of collapse and is
jtorn with internal opposition to a con
tinuation of the war.
Austria In 8erlous Plight.
Austria-Hungary is in almost as se
rious a plight as Turkey, and the exit
of the dual monarchy from the war is
regarded generally as on the imme
jdiate program of world events. The
empire is seething not only with op
position to the war, voiced almost
unanimously by a half starved popula
tion facing a winter of terrible suffer
ing, but is a veritable powder maga
zine of revolutionary movements.
It seems almost inevitable that t.he
dual monarchy will break up or be
broken up as a result of its folly in
helping Germany to launch the world
war.
DECLARES GERMANY WILL
SOON BECOME REPUBLIC
Writer Who Knows Teutons Says
People Are Bound to Over
throw Kaiser.
New York, Oct. 17.—"The German
republic is at last at hand, thanks to
Woodrow Wilson."
Julius Koettgen, director of "Friends
pf German Democracy in America"
and for 20 years past writer for the
Socialist newspaper of Berlin, Vor
waertz, made this statement as his
conservative estimate of the effect of
President Wilson's note on the Ger
man public."
He is considered to understand ac
curately the political pulse of Gei»
many.
