Bavaria Reported
Tired of Prussia
Especial Dispatch 60 rhe Tribune,

Especial Dispatch 60 fhc Tribunc)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.--Therc is
in Bavaria more acute anxiety over
the war situation than in other parts
of Germany, according to advices to-
day from Berne.
"The resolution" the dispatch says,
"lately voted by the Munich Socialists
Congress, demanding the convocation
of high court for the trial OF all
personalities, even those Of the highest
rank, who are responsible for the war.
has made profound impression. There
is no doubt concerning the very great
discomfort in Bavaria respecting Prus-
sia, and many Bavarians desire to
promote schism with that state,
which has driven the empire to ruin.
This situation is indirectly attested
by a motion, which the Liberal faction
of the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies
thought advisable to make, asking the
assembly to affirm that, amid the diff
culties which the German people now
face, Bavaria has no thought of for
saking the cause of the empire.
"Rumors current in Munich, accord
ing to which the Bavarian government
has considered making seperate peace
proposals. show the extent of the pub
lie unrest"

Poindexter Urges Congress
to Stop Peace Negotia-

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator
Poindexter, of Washington, Republi-
can, introduced joint resolution to-
day proposing that Congress forbid
further negotiations by the United
States with Germany, looking to the
granting of all armistice or peace un-
til the German military forces have
surrendered Internationally. 1t wa=
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee.
The resolution further calls for the
prosecution of the war with the ut
most vigor and the occupation and
control by the Allies OF such Ger
man territory as can be obtained by
our military forces until peace nero-
tiations have been concluded.
Replies to Foes Illegal
II would declare it unlawful for any
official of the American government to
answer in any way any note, message
or representation from the German
government or the German people or
from any official representing or pur-
porting to represent them on the sub
ject Of peace or an armistice until the
German armed forces shall have sur
rendered. Consultations in progress
between party leaders in Germany
may have far reaching consequences
according to advices received here to-
day from official sources in Europe.
Willing to Gust Kaiser
These confidential reports say the
German middle classes are taking CON
troll, determined to have peace even
if it involves complete acceptance of
the Allies terms, including the down.
fall of the Kaiser, the Crown Prince.
and finally LudendorfF, and the entire
military control.
1t is not possible to give details, hut
officials here are prepared to credit
the reports, as they are supported
by knowledge from other sources that
German business interests and landed
proprietors who heretofore have been
inclined toward pant -Germanism, now
fear ar uprising Of Socialists and the
threat of a German Bolsheviki.

No Immediate Answer

While no official comment can he
quoted prior to the receipt of the off.
cial text, it is the impression that the
Administration does not contemplate
an immediate answer. 1t is said the
Administration does not consider any
answer necessary to the denials by
Germany that there have been any
atrocities. 1t is further stated that
the Administration does not consider
any discussion of an armistice neces-
sary until the German armies have
actually complied with the Presidents
animation in his first query, that he
would mot feel at liberty" to propose
the German offer of an armistice to the
Allies while German armies oecup;ed
Allied soil
There can be no armistice. it is de
clared, therefore, until the German re-
treat has at least reached the German
frontier, leaving France and Belgium,
entirely cleared of the German forces
This would also apply to the occupa-
ton of Russia, Northern Italy, Ru-
mama, Serbia and Montenegro.
