In Uniform are unable 10 show them
selves In the streets Of Jassy except
at the risk Of provoking hostile DEM
onstration on the part OF the public,
Most OF the popular generals In the
Roumanian army today are those who
showed themselves most hostile to the
conclusion of peace.
The state OF mind In the country
districts may be gathered from the fact
that German military requisitions,
which have exceeded all stipulations
under the treaty OF peace. have been
transformed into nothing less than
simple pillage, with the result that
peace conditions, the longer the Ger
man occupation continues, have become
much worse than those which pre-
vailed during the war itself, The last
news received here from Roumania
tends to show that instructions have
broken out in several places against
The German occupation.

ADMIT INTERNAL WEAKNESS.
If Defeat Comes, Says Cologne Gazette

If Defeat Comes, Says Cologne Gazette,
It Comes Through, Germany.
New York, Oct. 5.--lnternal political
weakness in Germany is contrasted by
the Cologne Gazette with the Solidari-
ity of the entente allies on the west
ern front. The paper bemoans the
lack in Germany of something like the
steel wall" along the German front
Our interior front has always shown
gaps says the Gazette. 1T seemed as
if we lack a certain spiritual cement
which kept the others together de-
spite the blows our victories gave
them in these four years.
"The English interior front as soon
as an external enemy has to be fought
is gapless and without weakness.
Danger of a moral collapse in Ger
many evidently is foreseen. for the
Gazette says, only one thing could
rob us of victory; the crumbling up of
the interior front"
The most serious menace OF this
internal front is declared to be the
doctrnairees to be found in all parties
and classes of society. The paper de-
clares that such men as Prince Lich-
nowsky. former German Ambassador
to London. who wrote a memorandum
accusing Germany Of beginning the
war. and Macmillan Harden, editor of
Die Zunkuft, whose paper was sup
pressed for defending Prince Lichnow-
sky, as well as some of the socialist
leaders in the reichstag should be re-
moved from political positions,

of the defeated armies. This task is
not an easy one. as events OF the past
have shown for the Germans sacrifice
their very best soldiers in the screens
which mask the falling back Of their
principal forces.
The threat of the allied commander
in the Balkans to turn his armies
southwark and move against Constan-
tinople probably was put forth with
the idea of fastening the impending
collapse Of Turkey and convincing the
ruler Of the Ottoman empire that
peace is his only salvation. While a
direct attack against Austria by those
allied forces released by the elimina-
ton Of Bulgaria might hasten the end
Of the war; the people of all the civil
lied nations would hail with delight
campaign to drive the Turks from
Europe forever and force them to take
refuge in their old home in Asia.
The surrender of Bulgaria and the
turning over of all Balkan railways I'm
der her control to the allies opens to
Germany's enemies the back doors of
Turkey and Austria Hungary. 1t is
likely that the allies Will make use OF
these railways quickly and to the ut
most. ,
1t seems, to be the allied purpose to
put the Turks out of the war first. This
will most certainly be accomplished
when Constantinople is captured. Luck
lily there is a railway running from
Dadeagatch, in southern Bulgaria on
the Egean sea, almost straight to the
Turk capitals Another railway line
from Saloniki to- Dadeagatch will make
it possible for allied troops to reach
the latter point by rail as well as by
water.
Another rail line runs north from
Saloniki thru Uskub and Nish to Bel
grade on the Austro- Hungarian border.
! The Berlin to Constantinople" line
runs from the latter city thru Adri-
anople and Sofia, the Bulgarian capital,
thence to Nish and Belgrade.\
Bulgarian railways will be useful to
the allies in helping Roumania recon-
stitute her front. The Danube river,
which forms a large part OF, the boun-
| Diary Iinc between Bulgaria and Rou-
mania and runs into Austria Hungary
thru Belgrade. will also be free for the

IF the nation had called upon tho
war department at the declaration OF
war to meet this colossal program it
would have seemed too staggering Tor
achievement. and yet 1t has been done.
If the nation had said to the war
department in April 1917: we shall

like the weird tale of the Impossible

dous program in the history OF man
kind has been successfully carried OUT

seration to say that the reaching OF
the Rhine by the allied armies Will
virtually end German resistance. Inc
German armies that succeed in cross
ing the river will be beaten. perhaps
broken armies, and will have been de-
prived Of their chief supplies. An army
without abundant munitions and ample
ordnance today has no more resisting
powers than mob, as evidenced by
the collapse of Russia, Serbia and Rou-
mania and lastly Bulgaria.
When the allied armies reach the
Rhine, there will not be SO much OF
desperate defense Of that stream.
After that it will be another March
ing Through Georgia." Belgian, Brit
ish, French, American armies will go
forward to Hanover. to Leipsig, to
Dresden, to Munich. 1t. will be as
pleasant a promenade as was that OF
Sherman. on his jaunt to the sea.
The Germans already have lost val
liable territory by the forcible eVacu-
alton Of Lens and Armentieres. These
towns were the keys to the great felds
of the Pas de Calais district Of France.
Control Of important railway systems
adds to the value Of the fuel deposits.
The great manufacturing district OF
northern France was dependent upon
Lens for it's coal supply. and the re-
Mobilization Of that section will be-
gin at once Lille, another important
railroad center. Is certain to fall, and
Cambria practicallyfs lost to the Ger
mans.
u seems generally agreed that the
Germans will strive to establish ana
maintain line running possibly from
Antwerp to Brussels to Mezieres ana
Metz. This would mean the giving up
of about one-half Of Belgium, including
all Of the Belgian coast and the viz
tual evacuation Of all Of France. On
this short line, which, 1t is known, the
Germans always have had in view as
one Of their last resorts. Hindenburg
may rally his shattered armies and
make a stand, which may carry the
war through another year. The whole
situation hinges upon the ability OF
Marshal Foch to smash through the
wonderfully strong German rear guard
in time to strike the fleeing main bodies

In that part of Roumania which is
occupied by the Germans. that Is to
say, as far as Sereth, there are at pres
ent no Roumanian troops. The treaty
Of Bucharest laid down that in Mol
davia Roumania must not maintain
an army Of more than $4,000 men,
calculated on a peace footing. But
under the same theaty she permitted
Roumania to keep up an army 81 near
lys 100000 men for the occupation OF
Bessarabia. The question arises, how
ever, whether the Germans. In carry
ing out the treaty Of bucharest, have
not reduced. this number. What Is

have been allowed by the Germans to
cross into Wallachia, certainly not
more than two or three thousand. All
the rest were either disbanded or are
still under arms either In Moldavia or
Bessarabia.
The spirit of the Roumanian army
since rehabilitation may be gathered
from the fact that Roumanian officers
consistently refused 10 salute the boche
officers, with tie result that various
more or less serious incidents have oc-
CURED which caused the German COM
manders in Roumania to insist that
Roumanian officers should be forbid

this was such that the German officers

Much depends naturally on the pres

tary point Of view. Under the dis
graceful treaty Of Bucharest the Ger
mans seized practically the whole OF
the war material belonging to Rou-
mania, which was Immediately placed
under guard in depots IN Wallachia IN
care Of German troops. In spite OF the
fact that these depots have as part
Of their personnel a number OF Rou-
manian officers. it IS quite possible

try to deceive the American intelligent

allies use over large part of it's
course.
In the surrender of Bulgaria the
allies have achieved one of the great
victories of war, especially in it's po-
litical effect, as it defeats completely,
perhaps the most compelling motive of
the Prussians in beginning the world
conflict.
Der Drang Mach Osten" (the urge
to the east and the building Of Ber-
lin to Bagdad railway as the main
artery of Middle Europe confedera-
ton, dominated by Germany, had long
been a cause of friction betweensBerlin
and London. 1t was the kaiser's chal-
lenge to Great Britain and direct
threat at India. In conformity with
this plan Bulgaria and Turkey took
their stand with Germany and Austria
and the overwhelming Of Serbia placed
the Berlin Constantinople railway for n
time beyond peril Of attack.
1t was the rapid advance Of the allies
on the Macedonian front. the near ap-
proach of their armies to this great
highway, and in the region Of Sofia. the
Bulgarian capital, that brought this
German ally to it's knees.
The surrender of Bulgaria now al
most completely isolates Turkey and
probably traps whatever German forces
are with the sultan's armies. Depend
ent on Germany and Austria for Its war
supplies. Turkey is now in a desperate
situation and can be attacked from the
northwest thru Macedonia and the Bull
garian littoral.
Austria. realizing her predicament In
the collapse Of Bulgaria, and the isola-
ton Of Turkeys has renewed her peace
efforts. Without some definite offer.
however, the allies will turn deaf
ear to these proposals. Austria must
come forward with a tangible PROPOSE
ton and must make as complete
surrender as that OF her late ally, Bull
garia.
The abdication of King Ferdinand
Of Bulgaria will have no effect on. the
international situation one way or an
other. It is an internal question for
Bulgaria alone in which the allies arc
not concerned.
