Will the Kaiser Let
Presidents Address
Reach German People

Washington, April Whether the
German government will permit pub.
LEGATION in Germany of President Will
sons address was a question of great
interest today at the state depart
ment. The sharp line drawn by the
president in his address between the
German people and the a%utocracy
which rules them is regarded as pro
| viding additional fuel for the unrest
in Germany which has been recog-
nized even by Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg.
The extent of the unrest and the at
titude of the authorities toward it is
expected to be shown in the way they
treat publication of the presidents
address.
Prussianism Is Target.
The sharp forcusing of attention
throughout the world by the presi-
dents address on the present autocra-
cy of Germany is expected to make
some curtailment of that autocracy
essential as a peace preliminary. The
British and French, even before the
terrible devastation of northern
France, have many times even in high
quarters demanded actual capital pun-
ishment for a few leading statesmen
in Germany to whom the war is at
tributed. The attitude of the United
States towards those officials. while
not SO bitter, will nevertheless tend
to increase that feeling. 1t is very
probable, therefore, that a general
condition of peace will be some very
decided action towards the ~autocracy
kaiser's Position Shaky.
While the Austrian, Bulgarian and
Turkish situation remains just as it
was for the present SO far as this
country is concerned it is probable
that Germany will force those nations
to her side. Austria, deeply affected
by freedom in Russia and fearful of a
break with this country; Bulgaria, al
ready satisfied with her war results
and anxious for peace without disas-
ter; Turkey, oyerrun from four sides
through her richest territories by
Russian and British troops, all are
known to be ready for peace nego-
tiations on very reasonable terms.
Germany, however, has built up dur
ing the war a domination in those
countries which may not be broken.
