Failing thrones and fleeing kings and

workers and soldiers in control, and
former autocrats In hiding, -.
That n brief Is the condition in cen

that favOrlte Jest has become a sober

make democracy safe for the world.
In Germany the Socialists are estab-

OF their chancellor, Friedrich Ebert II

German republic was proclaimed, there
has been intermittent fighting between
the revolutloniSts and some officers and
troops that remained loyal to the old
order, and In some other cities there
were conflicts; but on the whole the
change has been accomplished with re-
markably little violence. The leaders
occupy the reichstag building In Berlin
and are striving to put the affairs OF
life on normal basis.
In the allied countries there was
shrewd suspicion that the revolution
was being fostered and directed undeI
cover by the leaders Of the old govern

might be spared some Of the rigors q
