GERMAN REVOLT
IS P0SS|B||ll| ]:
Mutinous Sailors Believed 10
Have Foreseen Failure Of :
U-Boat Warfare.
realize NEAR Defeat
Armed Opposition in German Fleet
Considered Most Significant
Fact Since War Broke
Out,

Washington, Oct 13.-By far the
most significant happening in Ger
many since the war broke out is the
mutiny in the German fleet.
This opinion is expressed by lead
ing cabinet member. Germany's sail
ors know full well whether subma-
rine warfare is a failure or a success,
he pointed out. Their mutiny signi-
fes that they realize Germany is near
ing defeat.
The uavy and state department be-
lieve the German mutiny is perhaps
the longest stride toward democracy
in Germany that has yet leaked out.
Officials do not declare that the NUT
my sign1fied general overturn in
Germany, but the cabinet member be-
lieves the naval mutiny is far worse
than is revealed by the German adj
missions. When sailors throw their
captain overheard and head for Nor
way, things are serious, he pointed
out.
Sure Sign Of Trouble,
Discomfort among the men of the
German fleet is sure sign Of real
trouble i2asmuch as Germany, like
every other nation, looks after it's
sailors better than the army or any
other branch. Further, Germany's
navy is under the most rigid disci-
p1iTe in the world.
If the germ of discomfort grown in
the German navy reaches out to the
German public, President Wilson's
dream of a Teutonic empire minus
Hohenzollernism may be reached far
in advance of the date generally ex-
rected.
Piracy Develops Anarchy.
The Kaiser cannot carry on unsuc-
cessful piracy and hold his navy in
the hands of discipline. Piracy always
develops a spirit of anarchy among
the pirates. The Hohenzollerns are
now providing their navy with a tradi-
ton of laWlessness.
