sentiment that the peace conference
should be held not later than the early

While some have favored n meeting

preliminaries can be completed by that
favored.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Despatches from
Amsterdam and The Hague say that
Holland is agitated by the question
whether the German Kaiser really has
abdicsted. No abdication proclamation
has been published, nor has the Kaiser
taken leave OF his people and troops.
The Amsterdam correspondent OF the
Daily Express says the appearance and
action Of the Kaiser might well be taken
to indicate that his abdication is a sham.
The correspondent quotes one OF the
German Generals in ahe party as saying
to a Dutch official = Holland is our Isle
of Elba."
II Is pointed out as significant that the
powerful Industrial. financial and mill

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Describing the
situation at the front. the military
correspondent OF the British wireless
service says:
Marshal Foch had prepared a fur
ther great attack east of the Meuse,
which undoubtedly would have dealt
the enemy a decisive blow. When
the armistice was concluded, there
fore. the Germans were faced with im-
minent disaster. and the only course
open to them was to surrender at dis
cretion.
"The German army appears to be
in a state of extreme confusion, but
the FIVE days respite which has been
granted may enable the Germans to
organize their lines of communication
and carry out the withdrawal Of their
troops. II is evident that the Allies
must remain prepared for possible
hostile action on the part OF certain
elements OF the enemy's forces.
Prepared for Eventualities. ;
Revolutionary councils have been set
up which may refuse 10 acaulesce In the
terms OF tho armistice. and the mere fact
that the arinistice can be terminated by
either side at forty-eight hours notice
necessitates the Allies being fully pre-
pared for all eventualities.
Whatever happens, no organised or
effective resistance, can be offered under
any circumstances by the German army,
but II the troops refuse to acknowledge
the authority of their present command
