Washington, Oct. 16.--Tonight's
news of Germany is everywhere re-
garded as the shadow of great events
being cast before them.
News dispatches this afternoon un-
der an Amsterdam date line said the
Neiewe Rotterdamsche Courant had
issued a special edition in which the
report was published that Germany
had capitulated and Emperor Will
liam had abdicated Another dis
patch, under London date line. quot
ed Reuters, limited, as reporting that
the German reply to the presidents
most recent note was expected to be
communicated immediately aud that
1t was likely to constitute a general
acceptance of the conditions outlined
by the president as precedent to peace.
Reports also were received in Lon.
DON dispatches said, through dipIo-
matte channels from Holland that the
German reply probably will be sent
today and that 1t would be an accept
ance of President Wilson's terms
with some stipulation to the effect
that the interests of the German peo-
pie must be respected. -.
Later the Newe Rotterdamsche
Courant withdrew its statement re-
porting capitulation and abdication
OF the kaiser. while the British OFF,
cial press bureau announced 1t had
been officially informed that such ru-
mors had no foundation in fact
No Official Word.
There is in Washington no official
word that the kaiser has abdicated;
or that he has been overthrown: OF
that Germany Is ready to accept, all
OF President Wilson's terms. A@
Officials and dipomatists, cautious
and conservative by nature and prac.
tice, regard with increduiity the "a
tmations that one or all of these
things has happened. OF course. they
all hope they have; they all know
that one or all of them are inevitable.
The official opinion In the capitol
tonight is that the coming OF these
things Is timed only by the unknown
degree to which the German military
power has been broken. There may
be more information on that point In
the chancellores of the allies than
there Is in Washington.

were on the run, and it was more a
question of fine weather than any,
thing else how far they would run
and how fast we could run after them
I am far from thinking the war yet
won, all the same. Although the Ger
mans have not thirty divisions left
that may be considered fit and of the
first class, there are still 1876 divisions
in all in front of the Allies on the
western front, including eight Aus
Hungarian divisions, and resources
are still available to maintain the
war.
Profound Detection.
Though the enemy continues to
fight we'll in patches, he is not the
man he was. Loss of the Hindenburg
line has caused profound detection.
German opinion, civil and military,
attributed fantastic merits to Hinden-
burg and his satellites. and it was
correspondingly dismayed when the
British armies rushed through the
line.
The Germans could not freely ma
noeuvre in retreat without immense
losses in munitions, aerodromes.
stores and war material of all kinds.
Therefore they had to stand and not
only stand but constantly counter at
tack. In counter attacks their heay-
lest losses occurred. Probably they
have lost $50, 900 men since Aug. 8. in
addition to more than 250,000 prison
ers, on the British front alone. AS
the French, Americans and Belgians
have not spared them since July Is
