GREAT UPHEAvAl
IN GERMANY
is VERY NEAR
MOmentOus Events Impending, But
Official News Lacking4All Signs
Point TO Radical Changes in
the Government.

Washington, October II - Great
events are impending in Germany.
That they will come within a day,
week or a month officials will not ha-
zGrd a guess; that they are inevitable
no one in Washington doubts.
Unofficial reports coming from Hol-
land and Switzerland saying that Ger
many Immediately will accept Presi-
dent Wilson's peace terms, are with
out confirmation.
From behind the veil of secrecy
within the empire rumblings of dis
content long have been reaching the
outside world but the extent of the
upheaval can not yet be accurately
gagged. The fact that radical changes
are being made in the German con-
stitution and unofficial reports that
the kaiser has relinquished his power
to declare martial law were but fur
ther indications that the power of the
junkers rapidly Is waning.
On the battlefield there was clear
er view of the extremities which the
enemy has reached, Iatest- reports
tell of a German retreat in Northern
Belgium on a tremendous scale. Else
where along the flaming front from
Verdun to the North Sea, the Teutons
are resisting with a tenacity which
of desperation. But nowhere are the
Allied armies being held.

Lille to Be Spared Say Prisoners

With the Allied Armies in Belgium,
October 17-Lille itself is not to be
destroyed, according to statement of
prisoners, but the cause for this is un-
known. Certainly President Wilson's
note has yet had time to reacn the
Germans at the front. 1t is not impro-
bable that the higher German com
mand is beginning to realize the hor-
ror that would sweep over the world
if beautiful Lille Should be levelled.

Bruges, Tourcoing and Roubaix

the U-boat base at Ostend and, it
would appear from the information,
German naval bases all along the Bel
gium coast are either being moved or
are being made ready for instant re-
moval, probably at the rear of the
German, mine fields in the North sea.

At The Republic Tonight.

In addition to a delightful story of
romance and adventure with gypsy
and society life thrown in as con-
trasts, there are a number of thrills
in Runaway Romany,' beautiful
Marion Davies own story, in which
she appears at the Republic Theatre
tonight
For instance, Miss Davies is snatch
ed from the back of a runaway horse
by Matt More, one of the famous
Moore family and formerly leading
man for Mary Pickford. and during
the taking of the picture she leapt in
to the waters of lower New York Bay,
determined if she was going to be a
Aim star she would do it right.
An amusing anecdote is told in this
connection. The first time Miss Davies
leaped from the side of a chartered
liner the cameraman missed it. He
was probably dreaming about the big
picture he was going to make and
when she went over the side lis good
right arm was suffering from camera
cramp. The second time, however,
there was no delay and his scene was
recorded IN notable time
