There has been general revolution
in Germany the past week. Knowing al
last that inevitable defeat vas the fate
of the army, and Disguised and disap-
pointed at the royal family and the
military power, the people all over the
country arose in rebellion. The navy
was seized by the revolutionists, the
Kaiser was denounced and the chiefs
of the government de posed from Office.
The demands of the Social Democratic
party for a new government met with
approval, and Friedrich Ebertwas named
as regent to have control of affairs
until a free election can be held and
the people name representatives to
decide upon the form of government
that shall be established. The Hohen
zollern dynasty has been overthrown
and a republic will probably take its
place. The King of Bavaria has also
lost his throne and republic has been
set UP. Poland has also proclaimed
republic. Wilhelm, King OF Wurtten-
burg has abdicated, and the Grand Duke
of Hesse has given up his power. 1t is
believed that every royal dynasty in
Germany will be suppressed and ever,
prince eXiled.
Belgium has completed her list OF
pecuniary charges against the German
government, and the amount to be paid
by the Huns is over S4,000,OOO 900.
This includes SAL ,OOO,C COON fines which
the Germans collected from the various
cities of the land for alleged violations
of military law. 1t is estimated tina
$4,000 buildin gs were destroyed.
The terms which the Allies dictated
to the Germans before the signing OF
the armis'iice, are drastic enough TO
please Those who cherish the hottest
hate of the Kaiser, and here are few
of the Important in condensed form
Repatriation of all inhabitants OF
invaded countries, including prisoners
and hos tages, this is to be completed III
fifteen DAYS; surrender of $4,000 ma
chine guns and LOO aeroplanes the
evacuation, within thirtyone days, OF
the countries on the left bank OF the
Rhine; no damage to be done by the
retreating armies; surrender OF loO,
600 railroad cars, and 5000 motor Tor

or other delayed means OF destruction.
and are compelled to reveal all destruc-
tive measures, such as polluted springs
and wells. etc.; all prisoners OF war to
be returned, without reciprocity unit,
peace articles are finally signed; with
drawal of German trooos from Russia.
Roumania and Turkey; the Brest'
Livotsk treaties are nullifed, surrender
of all submarines, all submarines and
war vessels to be ready to leave Ger
man ports within seven days upon direc
ton by wireless and that the military
armament of all vessels Of the fleet shall
be surrendered; it is provided that the
duration of the armistice shall be 81
DAYS, and that if all the clauses are moi
carried out it may be annulled upon
forty eight hours warning. The terms
of the armistice, will when carried out
and we are in position to see thai
they are carried out-leave Germany
absolutely helpless. She will then have
no alternative to which she may turf
to save herself from signing the final
peace articles, which will forever pre-
vent her plunging the world into another
orgy of bloodshed. The terms couldn
be better, we think, and the clause which
we like best is the surrender OF al
submarines now in existence. Wher
