A tragic fi- ile for the German empiric, mark- ('(l by retributive justice, is pro- Phccied bv the war reviewer and 'ivaster of the Associated News St. 1 !'rv:; e, based upon well defined sy-nptorns of a great upheaval liich are now being presented. ; rediction is that the present Mar v, ill be brought to a close by a J'fat uprising of the German pc? r' - " - 1 :(' overthrow of the Holier. tablishment of a German Republic The preliminary step in this direc tion came with the practical sur render of Bulgaria. The next pre dieted step will.be the overthrow of Turkey, then the collapse of Austria Hungary. Thus far the German authorities have succeed ed in withholding from the people the real conditions at the front. The smashing advances of the en lente allied forces have been re ported to the German masses as ments" to strengthen the Hun lines. Disaster at the front has invariably been cleverly concealed from the masses and they were led to believe that when the forces of the Kaiser were not victorious, they were at least holding then own. But facts concerning the real conditions are percolating into the cities and towns of Germany, and when the people become fully a ware of the deception ox their government, the uprising will oc cur. An Americau of German bir th gave it as his opinion that the army will be glad of such an oppor tunity and would join with the populace in the overthrow of the im.peralisftic regime and the es tablishment of a government of the people and by the people. On ce a republic is formed its leaders would throw themselves upon the mercy of the allied commanders and request the best possible terms of surrender. This Go: man-A mericau has tvio sons in our forces in France, and he believes when the people of Germany realize that the allied countries will demand, of the imperial government of Ger many, should a collapse come be fore a republic can be formed, that ; 'Ii? great Germanic 'military ma j chine be utterly destroyed beyond hope of resurrection ; the lss of all ' the German colonies and the terri-t-.rv she had captured in this war 'and the war of 1870; the redne ition of the German navy t a fix ed, minimum, an: ah indemnity of at least ten billion dollars. When the people learn that their country is confronted by such a toll and u! timet Mm, the desire for a republi can form of government with bet ter terms will come, it is believed, and Avith it lasting peace for the world. Already inside iuf.jrma t'on from Austria, the only re maining reliable ally of Germany, point toward the utter eventual disintegration of the vast forces of that errs ire.
