Allies; to oppose every attempt at
conquest of territories, and to oppose
all attempts of other nations to i'm
pose their will on Russia.
The cabinet further expresses de-
sire that the provisional government
will participate in perfect accord
n.isb the Allies at the forthcoming
ea4lerence at Paris, where Russian
delegates will seek to persuade the
Allies to adopt the common peace
policy.
LONDON, Oct. 11.-Heavy rains
on the Flanders front, turning it into
slickly sea mud. are reported by Cen
eral Haig. The rains continued most
of the night, he says. In the front
west of Passchendyaele the enemy
has been very busy all night with
heavy artillery bombardment.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 11.-A for
midable movement in the Reichstag
TO oust Michaelis and Helfferich, and
reinstate Prince Won Beulow as chan
cellor is reported in Berlin dispatch
es today.
The Vossische Zeitung, German
newspapers, in referring to the move
ment says: "a number of the mem
bers of the Reicbstag are openly
working to this end"
The two Reichstag members are
particularly under fire for the insti-
tuition of pan-German or "Father-
land party propaganda. Opposition
developed following the speeches of
Wednesday by Michaelis and Kuepl-
mann, declaring that peace could nev-
er come while Germany's enemies
demand a surrender of her territory
or separation of her people from
the Kaiser.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Mutiny
in the German fleet is by far the most
significant happening in Germany
since the declaration of war in 1914,
in the opinion of a leading cabinet
whether the submarine warfare is
failure or success. The cabinet mem
ber points out that their mutiny sig
nifies that they realize Germany is
beaten.
The belief prevails in the navy and
state departments that the mutiny is
the greatest strike toward democracy
in Germany that has yet leaked out.
The belief persists in office circles
that the mutiny is far worse than the
meagre news would indicate.
LONDON, Oct. 10.-It would be q
mistake for America hastily to con-
clude that mutiny on German war
ships means the beginning of the
@nd. Intelligent students of German
&tary affairs, with "inside infor-
nation" warn against attaching un-
due Significance to the revolt of few
sailors, probably caused by insuffic-
lent food, oppressive discipline, the
monotonous canal life.
Capelle and Michaelis are shrewdly
utilizing the incident to bolster up tho
government and discredit minority
Socialists. They also seek to create
the impression abroad that the spirit
of revolution is more widespread
than the facts would warrant, hoping
to lure the Allies, especially America
into relaxation of military efforts.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The British
are beginning another great offens-
i've over the slime and mud of Fland-
ers.
Northeast of Ypres We attacked
on q six mile front about 5:25 this
morning. There was rain this morn
ing" General Haig reported. Pre-,
sumably this is the third offensive in
eight days and is against the same
German lines which General Haig
has already battered back from Poel-
cappelle beyond the Passchendaele
road to a point beyond Ghleuvelt.
AT THE BRITISH FRONT, Oct.
12.-All the first objective were
swept over and taken in the first
dash of another tremendous British
drive today. The victory was achiev-
ed despite the fearful state of the
ground. which was literally an ocean
of mud through which the Tommies
wallowed almost to swimming.
AS this is being filed the head
quarters report shows the drive IL
still progressing. Haig's attackers
are now within short distance of
Casschendalle.
