Internal Unrest Forcing
Germany to Seek Peace.

Germany's peace OFFER. the most
humble of her recent assortment
comes as a direct result OF pressure
by the people OF Bavaria and the mid
die classes throughout the nation. who
have been affected by the discomfort
so general in the former kingdom. in
the opinion OF observers here
The middle classes see only ruin
ahead Of them II the war continues.
The 1920 class has lately been sent to
the front, according to an official dis
patch yesterday from Amsterdam. and
this has had a profound effect on the
entire population. Another official dis
patch from Berne. in commenting on
the unrest in Bavaria. says:
There Is a still greater perturbation
OF mind in Bavaria than in Northern
Germany. The resolution. voted lately
by the Munich socialists and demand
ing the convoCation of high court for
the trial of all persons. even those OF
the highest rank, who are responsible
for the war. has made a profound i'm
preston.
In addition there are many rumors
spread about Munich to the effect that
the Bayarian government would make
separate peace proposals. These. in
themselves. show the extent Of the
unrest of public opinion"
The foregoing dispatch is only
typical of the many that have been
{ received in Washington recently by
both the State Department and
Entente Embassies. Riots have
been general throughout the en-
pire. and the people are daily be-
coming more Outspoken in their de-
nunciation OF the military caste
There is no doubt here that in
ternal conditions prompted Ger
many's first peace move. The hope
of peace was then held up to the
millions who had been praying for
it. The Presidents note of inquiry
gave rise to further hopes. then his
decision shattered them, that is. as
far as the military aUtocracy was
CONCERNED.
But the latest message from Ger
many gives more than an inkIing of
the pressure that has been brought
to bear for peace. and il Is believed
to be a pressure that will continue
to increase in force until 1t has at
tanned its ends. The only way this
can be done has been pointed out
by the President-get rid of autoc-
racy. That is what the people Of
Germany are now trying to do il
there is no secret string to the ac-
ceptance OF President Wilson's peace

Neither the United States nor the

suggests will insure the democrat

unknown. O1c view taken here is
that if Germany has accepted all CT
his conditions. our attitude will be
one Of watchful waiting to see wheth-
cr or not she PUTS the acceptance
INTO concrete form. II is now up to
Germany - do the following thirgl,
aS explained IA the Presidents de-
cision:
Stop all i'll agI.I and inhuman prac-
tees
Stop the tOrpedoing OF all pasSen-
ger and hOsp:ta! ships. together with

reduction to virtual impoteucy.
Provide. before either evacuation or
an armistiCe is considered. satisfac-
tory safeguards and guarantees OF the
maintenance Of the present military
supremacy of the armies Of the United
States and Of the allies in the field.
With regard to the first require
ment Germany denies the charge: the
second. she says has been complied
with: the third has also been accom-
pIished: and the last is one with which
she is ready to submit. but asks that
an opportunity should be brought
about for fixing the details.
This constitutes her acceptance and
the only remaining question is whether
or not the United States will accept
her word on the matter or wait to
see tangible evidence OF all the good
things she talks about and SAYS she
Is willing to do.
All signs here today point to quick
action on the part of the President
and he may. it was said. attempt to
learn whether the present "left-hand
cd acceptance is really a right

parts of it had been garbled in trans

Rutland, Aug. 3.--Master Richard Pat
nod, IL years of age and son of Mr.. and
Mrs Perley Patnod of Is River street, a
few days ago figured in near drowning
accident and was the hero who rescued
lad who had gone down for the third
time
Last summer while at Lake Dunmore
he learned how to take the first strokes
and the past spring set out in earnest to
learn TO swim. A few days ago while at
Otter creek he noticed in the water
across the stream little chap who
seemed to be, dog padding Soon he
thought the child was having difficulty
in keeping above water, and he saw the
lad go down Richard tore off his waist,
the buttons flying in all directions in
his haste, and swan across the stream
The smaller lad had gone down for
the third time, and as he was uncon.
scious it was the easier for Richard 20
drag him from the water. Upon getting
him upon the sand, young Patnod called
to some boys who were farther upstream
and they came and applied first-aid meth
DDS, rolling the boy on the sand and
working his arms to force the water from
his lungs. When the youngster regained
consciousness, the boys dressed him and
took him to his home on South Main
street. The lad who nearly met his
death was an Italian boy by the name of
