is IT A REAL GUARANTEE?

The latest dispatches from Berlin to the effect
that General Ludendorff has resigned and the emperor
has accepted his resignation That he was the brains OF
the German armies is generally conceded although Hin
denburg has posed in that capacity This is looked upon
as necessary preliminary to further peace negotiations
and may be SUCH However, it remains to be seen whether
the allies will consider the present German government
as anything other than piece Of very thin camouflage
While Dr. Sof speaking for the government insists
it supreme there is absolutely nothing to prove this
There has been meeting Of the German people to adopt
government and the present socaed government is the
creature Of those in authority the rechstag and the ka
SER yet it is evident the kaiser is still supreme. 1t to
him General Ludendorff tenders his resignation, and by
him that it is accepted This shows he is still the head
Of the government and that subject to his will Should
the terms finally offered by the allies if they offered
prove too drastic to suit the kaiser is there anything to
prevent him resuming his full powers, and debating the
course Germany shall take?
It is noted too, that in allowing General Ludendorff
to resign that the kaiser takes pains to pay him honor b
ordering that the old regiment formerly commanded by
Ludendorff shall bear his name. 1t may be the present
make-shif government in Germany has some standngI
with the German people but it is certainly not of their
creation 1t formed under and by direction OF the
kaiser and must have substantial foundation be-
fore the allies Justified in dealing with it. 1t must be
known that the kaiser is poweess to set aside any agree
ment before any should be made with the dummy gov
ernment now representing---or claiming tothe German
people.
