Socialist Organ Says Collapse

Especial Gable Dispatch to the World
and albuquerque Journal.)
Copenhagen, Nov. 3--Vorwaerts. the
socialist organ OF Berlin, says nothing
is left for Germany but to conclude
peace as fast as possible.
Like the Berlin Tageblatt. which
was agitated two days ago by The mill
tary cabal. VorEaerts sees in the pass
ing of Ludendorff sufficient guarantee
for the present. BY its silence regard
ing Hindenburg and the kaiser, it is
indicated they are keeping in the
background until danger of an at
tempt for a coup d'etat is over for the
time, if not entirely removed by Aus
tria's action.
Death Blow to German Army.
Norwaerts says: The world war
probably will be over in 2. rev days;
we must arrest the vain flow of our
blood. There are many indications
that with the capitulation of Austria
she assumes the status OF Bulgaria
and presents to the allies a new front
against Germany, in which case the
Bavarian, SaXons and Silesian fronts,
as well as the cities Of Munich, Ores
den and Breslau, are no longer safe.
austrian capitulation means the
cutting off of important raw material,
without which prolonged warfare is
no longer possible for Germany. It'll
means that not only our last ally
leaves us and enters the role of al
neutral, but the country is made al
war instrument in the hands of our
opponents. |
Let US admit freely that it means |
the end OF resistance"
VorwaertS adds that the whole OF !
the present peace move was begun by |
Ludendorff, who considered the sit |
uation on the western front lost from |
a stTategical viewpoint. That Lu- |
dendorff saw things too black for his
troops to avoid catastrophe makes !
many people think that our note oS
october was premature. With Aus
tria's capitulation things are worse
than If Ludendorff'S fears had come
true.
"The new German note" it adds |
calls for terms of the allied arn1istice |
According TO President Wilson'S hints ,
and even more from the English and |
French press, We must expect things
which will cut US to the heart"

dad collapses,"
Theodor Wolff in the Tageblatt
shows the old military spirit is still
trying TO rule at the front. He says:
Using all its means to suppress de-
mocraey al the front, the Tageblstt is
not allowed TO be sold at the front,
and only those papers which favor the
muntion makers and the Pan-Ger-
mans are permitted. and these have
flooded the front.
Wolff declares that Ludendorff was
dismissed because he resisted the
democratic constitutional amend
ments and made difficulties over the
armisticc, but his protest was un-
timely, as the armistice offer was
caused at his express and urgent
wish" Wolff expects President Will
son to say that now his separate mis-
sion having been fulfilled, from now
on all negotiations are in the hands
of all the allies.
Licbknccht IncitcS Radicals.
Demonstrations in the line OF the
radical doctrines of DR.. Liebknecht,
the socialist leader. which took place
in five parts of Berlin on Sunday. were
frankly Bolshevik. The police with
carbines prevented radical speeches
outside the halls, but all the Speakers
Indoors declared boldly for the estab-
lishment of dictatorship by the prole-
tariat. DR.. Liebknecht spoke at all
the meetings. The Vossisehe Xeitung,
reporting the trend of the meetings,
says:
'Liebknecht's speeches were all alb
solutely Bolshevilt. Now the proleta-
riat is conscious of its power he said
the watchword is world revolution or
world destruction. The call to the
defense should be answered
by the dictatorship of the prototariatl
and by the overthrow of capitalstlc
rule, thus establishing a socialist re-

London. Nov. 3.-In addition to the
tremendous moral effect upon Ger
many as Austria sues for peace, the
military effect will be of much mo-
ment. For it will mean the withdraw
al OF eight Austrian divisions from the
German fighting front. The most i'm
portant loss to the German army will
be that Of the Austrian artillery,
which has proved of substantial serv-
ice in the retreat.
Although Germany continues her
rear guard and machine gun covering
operations with intense obstnacy, her
MILITARY position is declining every
day. 1t is believed here the German
government knows the country cannot
go through another winter of war in
the face of shortages of food and
raw material and of internal political
conditions.
