A Wolff Bureau dispatch, by way of Copenhagen, declares the German high command has ac knowledged the authority of the workmen and soldiers. Councils of soldiers have been organized at Landsberg, Warthe, Glogau ani Sensburg. A new Prussian cabinet has been formed by the workmen and sol- diers, according to a Copenhagen re port. Eugene Ernst is minister of finance; Otto Braun and Adolph Hoffman are joint minister of ag- riculture, and the other portfolios are held by Count Hirsch and Hein- rich Stroebel. The independent socialists will de mand the trial of Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz and other Junkers hela to be responsible for the declaration and continuance of the war, an Am- sterdam dispatch stated. They wid also seek to abolish the stock ex- change, cancel war loans and divide the land. German newspapers continue their bitter denunciation of the terms of the armistice. “The armistice terms are modeled upon those which Rome exacted from Carthage,” says the Deutsches Tages Zeitung. “The German people must ask that the government take measures to meet the catastrophe.” “There is no alternative but to am cept them,” (the terms) says the Vorwaerts. “The entente diabolical plan to keep the blockade will result in fam- ine and perpetuation of the revolu- tion; it is monstrous,” the Taglische Rundeschau declared.

Are we to lapse back into the old national rival- ries and antmosities and competitive armaments, or are we to initiate the \reign on earth of the Prince of Peace? What. are conditions of peace? They must lead to a settle ment which will be fundamentally just. No settlement that contem- plates principles of eternal business will be a permanent one. “In my judgment, a league of na- tions is absolutely essential to per manent peace.
