WASHINGTON Oct. 16.-Upon a
growing dissatisfaction In Germany
over kaiser-rule, authorities here to-
day based the View that tho Hohen-
zoIlern power will soon crumble and
that the Wilson peace terms will then
be accepted.
Both openly and suardedly, the Teu-
ton press 10 voicine It's dissatisfac-
ton with things as they are in Teu-
ton political life.
The comment expressing discomfort
with the kaiser's autocratic power, is
now becoming 80 general that the all
powerful German censor apparently
does not dare kill It.
Authorities here believe that even
the most loyal Of the katser's sub
Iects will begin to appreciate soon
that the murder-master Is the only
thing standing In the path Of peace
and will realize that they are fighting
losing fight.
The State department is keeping a
careful file Of German press comment
gathered by it's agents in countries
near Germany.
Tho department. withhoIds this gen.
Of an early peace, undu'y.
In this connection It may be said
the government is now proceeding
with the war Just as though the peace
notes had not been exchanged. The
military authorities are disregarding
peace prospects through diplomacy
entirely In their plans and caleula-
tions. They are arranging "force
without stjnt"-uoinu on the theory
that so far the most convincing argu-
ment with German is "buiIet in
his head"
Authorities look for the early col
lapse Of Turkey. Her request for
peace viii! probably be answered by
the allies with demand for uncondi-
tionai surrender to be arranged with
the commanding general along lines
similar in scope to those applied
against Bulgaria.
From Turkish collapse to dlsinte-
aration of the Austro-Hungarian en-
pire is regarded as no far cry. with
these last props gone, it is felt here
that the German will listen to reason
rapidly-wiI see that kaiserdor Is
poor investment
One point which Is causing vast
amount Of discussion is what will oc
cur over the demand for return of Al
sace-Lorraine to France. This has
been regarded as sticking point, but
II Is felt here that Gernany's military
situation Is such that she cannot dick
er over this matter now. II she does
not choose to accept an armistice and
democracy, Foch's armies will settle
the Alsace-Lorraine question.

the vast airplane production and
