RULERS ABANDON THRONES Germany's Plea for Food Will Be Granted by Allies Mutiny of Fleet May Hamper Armistice Pre dictions as to the Peace Conference. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Falling thrones and fleeing kings nnd princes; a maelstrom of social revolu tion and military mutiny; Soviets of tho workers and soldiers In control, nnd former nutocrnts In hiding. I That In brief Is tho condition In cen- i tral Europe, following the cessation of hostilities, now It will all end not 'tho wisest statesmen can conjecture. Quick work by level-headed leaders may direct aright the great movement and bring out of tho chaos orderly and firmly grounded governments of and for the people. At present It seems that n fnvorlto Jest has become a sober fact and that the big task now Is to make democracy safe for the world. 1 In Germnny tho Socialists nre estab lishing themselves under the leadership of their chancellor, Frlodrlch Ebcrt, a brainy and highly esteemed mnn. The several fnctlons of tho party appear to be working In somo harmony, nnd tho bolshcvlkl, though yet In the de cided minority, hnvo been gtven recog nition which Is encouraging them to demand moro. In Berlin, where tho German republic was proclaimed, thero has been Intermittent fighting between the revolutionists and somo officers and troops that remained loynl to tho old order, nnd In some other cities there were conflicts ; 'but on the whole tho change has been accomplished with re- j mnrkably little violence. Tho leaders occupy tho relchstog building In Berlin I anil fir atrlvlnv in nnf ttin affairs nt life on a normal basis. In the allied countries there was a Jhrewd suspicion that the reyolution was being fostered nnd directed under cover by the lenders of the old govern ment In the hope that through It they might be spared some of tho rigors of tho peace settlement. Such, too, wns the explanation of tho establishment of a republic In Bnvarla, and in Schles-wIg-Hol8tcln. which stntes now say they will become parts of the new Ger man republic. Tho man In the street, nnd most of the newspapers, In America, England nnd France, did not nt first look kindly on Doctor Solf's appeal to President Wilson that tho allies take steps to savo the people of Germany from star vation. It savored of Impudence, com ing from n representative of the peo plo who starved Belgium, Serbln, Po land and Roumnnln without n qualm of conscience. But tho nllled govern ments hnvo looked at tho matter In n different light, nnd, probably wifely, havo determined to supply to the Ger mans such food ns can be spared, not only for humnnlty's sake but on tho theory that order can bo more quickly and enslly restored among n well-fed people. If tho excesses of tho stnnlng Russians wero repented In Germany It might be difficult to carry out tho terms of tho nrmlstlce. The feeding of hungry Germany, becomes a common sense business proposition, nerbcrt C. Hoover already has sailed for Europe to direct the distribution of food. Tho Socialists In control, though walling at tho "terrible harshness" of tho armistice terms, declnro they will do all they can to obey them. On lnnd this will not be so hard, but the nnval sltuntlon has been complicated by the seizure of most of tho Gcrmnn fleet nnd of tho fortified Island of Helgoland by rovoltlng sailors. These men snw, In the surrender and dismantling of tho war vessels, the end of their livelihood, so they took possession of the ships and sailed from somo of tho ports. Their future plan of action, If they bavt any, Is misty. When tho allies nro given possession of the land bat teries tho warships can be driven to sen, and there they can be dealt with by the allied fleet. I Tho abdication of the kaiser, the em peror of Austria nnd the rulers of mi nor stntes In central Europe, whllo doubtless of nbsorblng Interest to them selves, cannot be considered of great moment nmld all the tremendous events that nrc taking plnce. These monnrchs were but symbols of the or der that Is passing, nnd even tho knlscr already had lost most of his power. He, ns William Hohenzollern, Is now Interned nt tho residence of his friend, Count Bcntlnck, in Holland. Abdica tion -vas forced on him; but In fleeing from his country he showed tho yellow streak. Comparo his course with tho really dignified, exit of that othor seek er nftcr world domination, Napoleon. The Dutch government pretended to bo surprised and disconcerted by the arrival of William, but In renllty It knew ho was 'oralng nnd nrrnnged for tho event. There Is a report that tho former kaiser will eventually tnko up his residence In his pnlace on tho Island of Corfu. This presupposes that tho allies will not take possession of his person and put him on trial for his monstrous crimes ngnlnst civiliza tion. Tho Germnns themselves might dccldo to do this, for thero Is an In sistent demand among them that such wnr leaders as Admiral von Tlrpltz, Mnjor General Kelm, Admiral von Uoltzendorff and Dr. Wolfgang Knnpp be arrested nnd tried. Hlndcnburg and others of tho army commander hnve sought to evndo such fnto by sub mitting to the rulo of the soldiers' councils. Tbo former empress of Germany Is sold to bo HI In Potsdam, and thero nro all kinds of rumors nbout the ex crown prince. Probably few care whether or not ho has been killed. Charles of Austria by abandoning his throne dodges the great task of straightening out tho affairs of tho countries that comprised his realm. This will dovolvo on tho penco confer ence, and doubtless will not be settled without many disputes over conflicting claims and aspirations. As was fore seen, tho German part of Austria has elected to become a part of the new German state. There was grout rejoicing along the entire front In France and Belgium when tho news spread of tho signing of the armistice. Allies and Germans alike cheered the announcement and nt once emerged from their trenches and threw aside tho caution to which long, years of warfare had accustomed them. The retrogrado movement of the Huns was accelerated In obedience to tho terms of the armistice but for several days the allied armies did not follow them. Then begun their own advance Into the regions the enemy had been forced to evacuate. On Thursday It was announced that tho Americans had crossed the frontier toward Mctz and Strassburg, and that on Sunday Marshal Foch, commander In chief of tho allied armies, would mnko formal entry Into thoso cities of Lorrnlno and Alsace in tho presence of President Polncnro nnd Premier Olemcnccau. In Brussels nnd other cities tho Ger man soldiers got out of hnnd and wero reported to bo burning and pillaging. Tho allies' high command at once warned tho Germnn htgh command that unless this violation at tho arm istice terms wero stopped the allies would take drastic steps. It Is generally ngreed now that the world pcaco conference will meet some where In Europe, probnbly In Ver sailles. Whether or not President Wil son will attend Is not settled. It hns been suggested that he be present nt tho opening and then return homo to attend to the vastly Important domes tic problems that must be solved. Pos sibly America's representatives at the pence board will include Secretary Lan sing, Colonel House, Ellhu Root and Justlco Louis Brnndels. The proceed ings of tho conferenco nre suro to bo protracted, and well informed corre spondents nro amusing themselves and their renders by speculating on the conclusions that It will reach. Briefly, they predict that Germany will bo com pelled to restore Alsnce-L'orntlno to Franco; that Luxemburg will bo united to Belgium; that Polnnd will receive large additions, including part of Prus- sin with an outlet to the sea, nnd pnrts of Austria ; that Serbln will get Bosnia nnd Herzcgovlnn; that Italy will re ceive the Trentlno, Trieste and most of Dalmatla ; that a plebiscite may bo J iukcii iu ueiermine me desires or tlie Croats und Slovenes; that Ukralnla may get part of Galldo ; that England Is to hnvo Mesopotamia and Franco will take Syrln, and tlint Palestine will become an Independent stnto. Among the many difficult things to bo settled nre -the conflicting claims of Ituly, Serbia and Greece; tho status of tho Arabs nnd of Armenlu ; the dis position of Constantinople and the coast of Asia Minor, and the reduction of Bulgnrla to the weakest of the Balkan states. It is expected that the peace confer ence will open in the latter part of December, after tho English parlia mentary elections, nnd nlreudy the representatives of all tho smnll na tionalities with grievances nro gather ing in Paris. Many of the questions, It Is understood, will be settled In ad vance by tho entente powers and the United States. Turkey Is awaiting In dread the rep aration demands of the nllles. Al ready tho nllled fleet has passed through the Dardanelles mid dropped anchor off Constantinople. The men now In control In Turkey hnve accused Tnlaat Pashn, former grand vizier; Enver Pashn, former minister of wnr, and DJemel Pasha, former minister of mnrlne, at embezzlement and other crimes, and thoso worthies hnve fled from the capital. Before the Ink wus dry on the armi stice agreement America began turn ing to the problem of getting buck to a pence footing. Its solution will require the best work of our wisest minds. Tho demobilization of tho immense army will be gradual, and the men will bo returned to civil life In the order of their Importance In peaceful pur suits and with proper regard to the ability of industries to absorb them. The National Association of Manufac turers gives assurance tlint every man will find nwultlng htm tho plnce ho left when he went Into tho service, nnd there is little doubt thnt thero will be work for all. Innumerable projects that wero suspended owing to tbo de mands of the wnr will be resumed at once, and the demnnd for labor on these public and private enterprises will bo enormous. Tho department of wnr put a sud den stop' to the sending of drafted men to tho nnny camps and notified men between tho ages of thirty-two nnd forty-six to return their questionnaires unflllod. Tho men below twenty-one now in the camps may be retained there for n time, for tho training und possibly to rcplnco somo of those who already have seen service. In Europe. As for the army on tho other side, It Is likely to be there for a good many months yet, for there will bo n big Job of policing to be done. Tho navy nnd marines still nro taking recruits. Their part In enforcing the nrmlstlce nnd peace terms will be n considerable ono, If present plnns are carried out. si Many of tho regulations to which wo hnvo grown accustomed In tho pnst year and a half tiro being abandoned. Tho food administration has suspend ed the rule requiring tho use of wheat substitutes In baking and has Increased tho sugar ration In somo stntes, but at tho smno tlmo emphasizes tho ne cessity for continued conservation of all staple foodstuffs. Deferred build ing projects amounting to many mil lions of dollars were released by Chair man Bnruch of tho war Industries board, and many Industrial restric tions wero removed. The government's contracts for wnr J materials nre not to be cnncellcdj abruptly, so the contractors will hare time for readjustment. The people of America are being kept nwnlco to the fact that with the near appronch of peace their financial responsibility due to tho war has not ceased. At tho present time thoy nro cnlled on to raise a hugo Wnr Work fund to bo expended by tho seven or ganizations whoso work Is by no means ended. Then, enrly next year, there probnbly will be n fifth Liberty loan, for tho nation's expenditures duo di rectly to tho wnr must bo enormous for n long tlmo to como.
