Chancellor's Letter to Won
Hohenlohe Expected to

By H. W. Smith
Especial Gable to The Tribune)


AMSTERDAM, Oct. 16.-The resigna-
ton of Prince Max Of Baden has not
yet been announced here, but in CON-
petent quarters it is thought it cannot
long be delayed.
There are various rumors current,
one of which is to the effect that the
war party has again obtained the mas
terry. But what is thought here to be
more likely is that the majority parties,
especially the Social Democrats, have
seized the opportunity afforded by the
publication of Prince Max,s letter to
Prince Alexander von Hohenlohe to get
rid of him in order to furnish to the
Allies further demonstration of their
sincerity.
The fact is that certain jingo papers
are crying shame on the government
for accepting conditions from President
Wilson, who has formally declared that
Germany's word is not to be taken. The
government itself has been made aware
by such comments as those telegraphed
from London throughout the week end,
and more particularly to-day, that the

this afternoon reporting the capitula-

of Emperor William.
This step was taken, the newspaper
says, because it was unable to obtain
any confirmation of the report.

LONDON, Oct. 16 (6:12 p. M. y
The German reply to President Will
sons latest note probably will be
sent to-day according to news re-
ceived here through diplomatic
channels from Holland. 1t is ex-
pected the reply will be an accept
ance Of President Wilson's terms
with some stipulation to the effect
that the interests Of the German
people must be respected.
Reuters, Limited, learns that the
German reply is likely to consti
tute a general acceptance of the
Presidents conditions.
A movement can bo observed in
the German capital, says dispatch
from Berlin to the "Amsterdam
Tijd," to bring about a cessation Of
the submarine war as the result of
President Wilson's note.
Carries Discussion Further
The semi-official "North German
Gazette" of Berlin, says:
president Wilson'S reply has
partly carried the discussion further
and partly extended it.
"A fresh counter utterance by
the German government, therefore,
is necessary, so that the bringing
about of an armistice and the inau-
guration of peace negotiations are
not yet Immediately attainable."
The Cologne Gazette" which Of
ten speaks authoritatively, COM
menting on President Wilson's re-
ply to Foreign Minister Solf, says:
"After President Wilson's note
hope for peace must be lowered a
few pegs"
The Cologne "Volks Zeitung"
takes the same stand. This news
paper declares that cessation of
Germany's U-boat warfare cannot
be demanded before an armistice is
concluded.
Hopes of Peace Lowered
"The Germans must lower their
hopes of near peace of justice
without humiliation" says the Co.
logne "Volks Zeitung."
President Wilson's reply to the
German note produced "a most un-
favorable impression" in Berlin,
says Central News dispatch from
Amsterdam. The publication of the
reply, it adds, was followed by
panic in Berlin banking circles and
on the Stock Exchange.
