has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities with the unscrupulous adroitness long marked German merelv the heads Of kalserlsm In the hope of ob taining nn easier peace It appers probable that no one in Germany knows and that it is still to be de termined which of the contending ele ments will gain the upper hand Revolution is spreading rapidly and from Gio fact that a socialist is now chancellor it may be gathered that the object of tho revolution Is noT merely the quick ending of the war but the complete severance of the po litical ties which still bind the nation

former who have successfully contested greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia Likewise hip will have to be given to Austria Hungary Bulgaria and Turkey whose ruin Germany wrought The German empire was the last of tho great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of lhe war In Russia Austria Hungary and finally in Germany Irresponsible power gave way before the irresistible forces of democracy Germany holding on to lhe last kept up the hopeless struggle until ield Marshal von Hindenburg's prophetic words early in the war came true The side with the strong est nerves said he would win It was tho crumbling of the home front which made it impossible for Germany not withstanding her great armies in the field to carry on any longer Tho collapse of

Is It safe for the military arm of the government to assume that tho var is over with the signing of an armistice and the out break of revolution in Germany or shall preparation for fighting proceed until the proclamation of actual peace?

believe the hour of retrenchment arrives at tho time the armistice is signed Instead of Bending additional' selectmen to the training camps Senator Martin would empty most of these camps immedi ately
