Mac. H. Donaldson, Educational Instructor Warren Dis trict '. M. C. A. Declares Only Hope for Early Peace Rests in German Socialists; Attempted Revolutions Ere quent in Central Alliance.

The only hope for an early peace. except by a great military victory on the part of the allies. rests with the herman people. or to be more exaLt with the German socialists.
 Although not generally knOwa there has been an attempted revolt ton in Germany every year since the start of war. while in 1917 there were two efforts to start a revolution and overthrow the kaiser.
 The German people as a wholc want peace but aside from that sO- cialists either think Germany can win pr have such a fear Of what may hap pen if shc loses that they are loyal to the military party. In Austria Hungary. however. the people hate the Prussians and would welcome peace even though the Central To- wers lose the war. In fact, may wOUli be glad to see Germany beaten as they hate the kaiser and the militerS party as we'll as the German eft iency system"
