get Chief of Police Zurich down to
the meeting, but was unable to locate
him before the dads" met The com

LETTING GEORG DO IT.

II cablegrams are to be relied upon,
1t ought to be easy for Georg Mich
aelis to slide into his job as German
chancellor. All that the reichstag is
going to ask him to pledge himself to
Is this:
Peace without annexations and in,
IDENTITIES; freedom of the seas; no
economic blockade after the war; no
carrying Of the hatred of war into
peace
All of these things have got beyond
Germany's control, as Georg knows,
II, he is at all posted, and agreeing
to them is about like merely agreeing
to draw his pay.
The German people may seriously
desire peace. Their terms will have
to be something much less than res,
toration of the ante-bellum conditions.

DID CROWN PRINCE WIN?

A haze surrounds Germany. The
censorship bars real news. But q
few highly significant facts seem
we'll authenticated.
There was undoubtedly a move by
the Catholic centrist party and the
socialists to force program of peace
without annexations and without In.
IDENTITIES. There was also a we'll
nigh unanimous demand for universal
manhood suffrage in highly gerry
wandered Prussia There we're prob
ably threats that the otherwise dom
inant reichstag block would refuse
war credits.
The kaiser came to Berlin in hot
haste. He summoned Hindenburg,
the popular idol, and Ludendorff, the
brains of the military autocEacy;
then. as the demands would affect
Germany for all time, the crown
trince.
The military machine does not want
reform and it very much desires
peace, accompanied by annexations
and huge indemnities. The landed
Prussian aristocracy agrees
And the, crown prince is their prin-
cipal spokesman. AS heir to the
throne, he opposed his fathers appar-
ent unwillingness to yield. He lined
up with the reactionaries and de-
manded the head of Chancellor Beth
man-Hollweg. He won all along the
line.
