WASHINGTON. oct 11.-American
government officials took hope today
from the Germany navy mutlny.
In Il they saw the chance that the
long hoped for revolution within

had feared that the revolution would
be slow in coming and while this is
an isolated case. they predicted that
Il is a forerunner of other internal
troubles.
The mutiny was regarded as the
more significant from the fact that
the navy has had to endure none OF
real hardships TO which other mem-
bers OF the German military machine
have been subjected. Immune from
the grilllng grind OF battle. the navy
has had comparatively good food and
