CONTROL OF
GERMANY IS
PASSING TO
MIL|TARISTS
Leaders Who Want to Hold
What Has Been Gained by
Sword, Taking Control, Say
Dispatches.
IDLENEss IS BROKEN
tBy Associated Press)


Control of the destinies OF the Ger
man empire. press accounts from neu-
trail countries agree, is passing into
the hands of the militarists or the
leaders who want to hold what has
been gained by might and the sword.
Chancellor Won Hertling, the aged
incumbent of the chief political office
again is reported i'll and preparing to
resign, while the militarists and pan
Germans are demanding the dismissal
Of DR.. Won Kuhlmann. the foreign Sec
retary. who has headed the German
delegations at Brest-Litoysk.
In connection with the reported i'll
ness of the imperial chancellor. it is
reported from Berlin that County Won
Hertling's address before the main
committee of the Reichstag has been
postponed for several days. 1t was
said previously that the chancellor
would answer the recent war aims
statement Of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George before the main
committee Wednesday.
No Explanation.
Coupled with these reports is the
fact that the German emperor and the
crown prince have been holding con-
ferences with the political and mill
tary leaders. 1t is reported also that
the German minister to Denmark and
Holland havev arrived Unexpectedly IN
Berlin. Indications are that the pres
ent turmoil within the German ruling
class will result in the acceptance Of
firm policy either favoring the mill
tarists or the more peaceful element
with the probability that the pan-Ger-
mans will be victorious. The social
lists Vorwaerts believes a military die
tatorship is in the making.
No explanation has been vouch3afed
by either the Germans or the Russians
as to the reasons behind the tempo
rary halt In the peace negotiations
Nor has 1t been arrounced officially
why the conferences II continued are
to be resumed at Warsaw. A Bavarian
newspaper says, Egyptian darkness
enshrouds German peace terms"
The winter idleness on the western
and italian front has not been broken
by large operations. Raids and patrol
engagements occur here and there ard
the artillery fire breaks into violence
at important points now and then but
there Is hardly anything in the official
statement to indicate that Germany's
huge reserve of /, 500, 900 from the Rus
sian front Is to begin his heralded
blow very soon.
