REVOLUTION IN GERMANY.

One Of the possible issues of condi-
tions in Germany is a rebellion foment-
ed by the people to overthrow the old
regime and break the yoke upon their
shoulders. The views of DIR. Arthur
y. Davis, the kaisers dentist, upon
this subject are of interest The spirit
of unrest, he says, started with the
food shortage and the ravages of dis
ease BY the time America came into
the war the nation was being slowly
but surely starved to death, and the
people were beginning to realize it;
they began to lose faith in their rul-
Crs and murmurcd on the streets. Pa
