PUSHING GERMANS Mmmwmmmg 0MaJ-MBnj-aej A ,aa-- - . -it ,J - ' A H IT1 TFTPTfimKC it IN" GERMAN "WlM ; ! Washington See Nothing in Hun Ruler's Recent Utterance to In dicate His Abdication By JUDSON C. WELLIVER. (Staff Correspondent of Globe. Copy right. 1918, by J. C. Welllver.) !,, Washington, Nov. 6. That the war substantially concluded and that I problems of reorganizing the world henceforth have greatest attention is ! now the opinion in Washington. Bui some of these problems of reorgani 1 zation are so immediate and vital that they are hard to differentiate ' from issues of the war. The !kaiBer-g decrce indorsing the amendments to the imperial consti- tution has been read with wonder- racne, it suggests wiav so recently at Oct. 2$ the emperor did not con sider abdicating. Rather he was ac cepting the statui of a constitutional rules with an alacrity which caused consern as to the effectiveness of tht democratization measures ths t have been given his indorsement. He seems aigfolua to make the German Lin nn tit LAN tlAnb UN Moot belje,ve that after" all tHeyftoan?tntYjr end a irreat part of Scale Iwndlsiaries of the war; that th j,!, .:. government is their great gain in re turn for the war's sacrifices. He in dorses these meaiures, he says, "in firm determination .... to co-operate-in their, full- development." which is far from suggesting thought of leaving the headship of state. Also his decree refers to the tre m.na j.v.iAnm.nt wWh imnoi-i.K war as a crowning glory oi tne old system. Hohenzollerns Still a Menace Not only is there in this most re- & . - i - . u cent oiiMJMM mki vi me riuprrur 1 ing to indicate that he exnects to abdi- ; cate Jbut there is wide difference be tween his position ss emneror of G ! many and that as kinjr of Prussia. So j long ns it holds firmly to authority over Prussia, end so long as Prussia ' continues at heart reactonary, the house of Hohnzollern must continue menace to Europe. iDespite the re 'cent assurances regarding franchise I reform in Prussia, there is fear that j ven fundamental changes in the im , oerial constitution may not serve to nur future security. The Hohen koHwtw 'heretofore have given prom ises of democratization which either j were not executed or. in the execution, proved sadly unavailing. The German confederation formed bv the congress of Vienna after the Napoleonic era pledged that the Ger man states should have- constitutions, but most of them did not ret these, anH under the leadership of Metter (n'ch n era of reaction set in, when the German peonle were insistently I "lsmoring for democratic progress. I Substitute Prussia, today, as leader I of Germany, for the Austria at that i time: the kaiser and the junker lead- ershep for .Mettemlch nd the same renlts might follow. These considerations give nart'eu point to the keen Interest now taken in the armistice terms about to be submitted to Germany. There s no eroctatn that these will deal at all with ouestions of political reorganiza tion, but the kaisor's apparent effort to og't to the German poole th.t he is giving them a boon of popular ovemmer.t which will compensate or their sufferings during the war does not "mvoel attention to the fact that the iHohenzollern dynasty will re qir attention at the peace congress.
