HAVE PEACE OR GO UMDER, PEOPLE
OOTH COUNTRIES DGMJDIflG IT
By PHILLIP SIMMS
(United Pross Staff Correspondent)
ZURICH (Copyrighted) Oirmioiis unrest is
growing daily throughout the Central Eiripire.
Germany and Austria must have peace or go un
der. The people of both of these countries de
mand it.
The Allies ai;e standing pat on the Wilsonian
program and tfrey propose to make a stonewall on
the West front.
The en d of the war-is now in sight. Thismuns
up the situation as seehiere at this lame. , ;
This does not mean that Germany is on the brmk
of a revolution but it does mean that the people
are tired of the war and are opposed to the Pan
German policy of conquest.
They believe that President Wilson was sincere
in his statement of his war aims.
From the most dependable sources I have learn
ed that theKdomestic conditions in both countries
are at present most appalling.
