on the current.
In Spincourt thirty eight French
civilians greeted the first Americans
to arrive. They had remained up all
night, for they had heard that the
Americans were coming in force. The
women and old men shed tears, while
children stood on the curbing, waving
flags. But the Americans went on
about their business, only stopping in
Spincourt for a few minutes.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE latest Of
fetal telegrams from Holland state that
the Queen is showing great courage
and drove through the streets at The
Hague Thursday afternoon. She was
everywhere received with politeness
and at some points cheers were raised
Authoritative quarters here thnl;
sensational reports from Holland are
exaggerated
No confirmation has been received OF
a rumor Of revolutionary outbreak in
the Dutch feet. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, the police, without the aid of
troops. have been able to keep the
situation in hand
Troelstra's ambitious plans for a
revolution in Holland appear to have
failed 80 far, but there is considerable
unrest. according to passengers from
the first unconvoyed ship, which has
just arrived at Gravesend.
The official view is that the move
ment has not gone so far that the swift
arrival of food will fail to reastablish
order. The British and American gov
ernments are in constant communica-
tion regarding Dutch needs, and the
Ministry for Food announces that the
steamship Adra, carrying 7100 tons of
wheat diverted fer the use of Holland
probably will arrive at Rotterdam No
vcmber a.
Disturbances similar to those report
ed In Holland also occurred at Copen-
hagen, but here, too, the police were
able to deal with the situation.

nor has the new German government
been informed that the maintenance

Source of the Error
The only reference to the dis

made by the President was said to
have been contained in Secretary
Lansing's note of last Wednesday
informing the German government
that the President was ready to con-

Australia Demands
81 lands IN Pacific
aiken From Germans

MELBOURNE, Nov. 17.-The Austria
liam Senate to-day passed the rcsolu-
tion moved by the ministry last week
declaring it essential to the future
welfare of Australia that the captured
German possessions in the Pacific, now
occupied by Australian and New Zea-
land troops, should not be restored to
Germany. The resolution also pro
vides that in the determination Of any
proposals affecting the destiny Of these
islands Australia should be consulted
Acting Prime Minister Watt, in sup
porting the resolution, said Australia
did not enter the war for plunder and
did not seek the islands because Of
their wealth. He added that he could
say unhcsitatingly that any proposal
to restore the islands to Germany
would be dangerous. New Zealand, he
said, stood squarely with Australia in
this matter. Mr.. Watt declared that in
tcrnational control Of insular posses
sions has never been success.

Crowd Expects King
Outwardly Brussels is intact, except
for a few houses near the north sta.
ton, which have been wrecked. The
north station itself and buildings along
Boulevard Anspach suffered severely,
being riddled with machine gun bull
lets. Windowpanes were shattered by
the rain of bullets during the rioting.
1t is authortatively stated that seven
civilians were killed and several
wounded, but many Germans lost their
lives.
When the correspondent reached the
Kings Palace he found great throng
Of people assembled there in the hope
that King Albert would soon arrive.
He was recognized by several he had
known before the war and Immediately
was surrounded by a crowd Of anx-
ious persons seeking news Of the ap-
proach of the Belgian army. He had
to retire hastily, however, as the park
was filled with German soldiers.
The Russian Style
The German was standing on the
PROSTATE trunk of tree, haranguing
his comrades in true Russian style.
THE Germans never invent any
thing" said Paul Jackson. "They are
merely stealing the Russians stuff"
Emile Max, uncle of the Burgomaster
Of Brussels, expected his nephew to
arrive tonight. He was released by
the Germans several days ago. He
was offered asylum in Holland and
Switzerland, but refused, saying: "I
was forcibly taken from Brussels. I
will return freely or | will remain
here"
Retreating German troops are not
passing through Brussels, but are
avoiding the city. To the north they
are passing through Deyghem, Grim
berghcn and Laakcn. To the south
they are taking roads leading through
Enghein, Stal and Waterloo.
Machine guns were posted yesterday
at Laakon to drive back unruly sol
diers wishing to enter Brussels. Sew

I Pariis Doubts
Sincerity of
German Reds
Ebert and Eisner Thought
To Be Trying to Use
Wilson as a Tool
Nem York Tribune
Paris Bureau

Paris Bureau
Copyright, 1918. New York Tribune Inc)
PARIS, Nov. 17.-Paris has no faith
whatever in the apparent changes in
the methods of government which have
taken place in Germany. 1t is recalled
that Ebert always has been a member
of the Kaiser's brigade of tame Social
lists of the Schiedemann party and al
ways has been an ardent supporter of
the Prussian militarist party in its
conduct of the war.
Kurt Eisner, the self-apponted head
of the new Bavarian Republic, is looked
upon here as man. of the same kind
as Ebert. Both are believed to have for
their immediate objective the convinc-
ing of Wilson that the change in the
form or government in Germany M
plies change of heart in the German
people.
Looks 10 Wilson
Eisner in his first speech on taking
office, it is pointed out, emphasized this
factor when he said 1--WE may have
confidence that the new government
will make very favorable impression
with President Wilson," and that "Wil-
son Will be more sympathetic to US
than to the authorities who had some
part in the responsibility for the war"
and that This may obtain for US more
favorable conditions"
The conservative Berlin "Post" unin-
tentionally perhaps, expressed a similar
ldea day or two ago when ii set forth
the opinion that if Wilson were really
sincere democrat he would plead the
cause of Germany and defend it against
the Wild demands of the other Allies.
Hope to Use President
All evidence available here tends to
strengthen the opinion that Germany
Is hoping to use Wilson as a tool to
extort easier conditions from the Allies
when the peace conditions come under
discussion.
Paris insists the abdication of the
Kaiser and the overturning Of every
German throne can make no possible
difference in the amount of the bill
Germany must be made to pay. The
whole German people of every shade
OF so-called opinion unanimously sun
ported tho military leaders throurhout
tour years Of war and must not. it ia
insisted, be allowed to escape full and
just punishment on the plea that thev
intend to govern themselves along
democratic lines IN the future. Full
ieparntion must be made, and the Ger
man people as whole must make it.

In Spincourt the Americans found
1000 hungry Russians and late on

Before their departure from Spin

That the bulk of the soldiers them

at meeting in the Reichstag build
ing Of delegates from all the soldiers
councils in Berlin and delegates of
similar councils elsewhere. The Berlin
soldiers are united firmly against DR..
Karl Liebknecht. They declared that
he had been thrown out of the bar
racks owing to his repeated efforts to
deliver incitive speeches.
Premier Ebert declared in addressing
the meeting that vast majority of
the people supported the government.
He said the government had nothing to
fear from the troops at the front, but
that many men from rear positions
who are hurrying home are causing
disorder in Baden and Wurtemberg.
The Premier added that the United
States would help feed the Germans,
but that order must be maintained.
New Party Formed
The Berlin "Vorwarts" announces
that a new non Socialist republican
party is soon to be formed from the
ranks Of the Progressives and the left
wing of the National Liberals. The
new party will have democratic and
farreaching social prog anime.
The "Vorwarts" expresses the belief
that such a party would command the
support of large part of the press
and says the Socialists would be com

begging them, "despite the bitterness
and grief which we now feel in our
hearts," to remember the country's
fearful condition of need and to do
all in their power to maintain order

The appeal is considered significant,
