THE UPHEAVAL IN GERMANY,

!!

Kaiser's Effort to kitain Throne.

Amsterdam, Nor, s

The "Lokal Anzeiger" says the Kaiser refused the So cialist suggestion of voluntary abdication. The Kaiser in formed the Minister of the Interior that he would refuse to abdicate at a moment when peace was being conclud-d which would mean surrendering Germany to the Entente. Abdication would produce complete anarchy and augmenti- tion of Bolshevism for which he would not assume respo:.- siblity.

The Social Democratic ultimatum as regards the Kaiser, stipulated that he grust abdicate by midday on Nov. s. A later message reported that the time limit was extended to six in the evening. The ultimatum further demanded the rein- forcement of Socialist influence in the Government, and the reformation of the Prussian Ministry along the lines of the Reichstag majority parties. "Forwaert," publishing the Eltimatum, said: "Perice is assured. In a few hours an armistice will have been concluded."

The Kaiser has decided to renounce the throne.

Meanwhile the Council has constituted itself a Diet. The proclamation adds that the democratic, socialist Republic of Bavaria has the strength to fealise a peace for Germany which shall pre- serve the country from the WORL A Constituerit Nation- al Assembly elected by all adults will, if possible, be convoked. A new time is dawning in Bavaria which will make Germany ready for the League of Nations. Revolu tion was necessary in order the last moment to prepare for peoples' self-government. without too terrible shocks be- fore the enemy armies stream across our country or before the troops after the armistice cause chaos. The Council promises to suppress all excuses, maintain order and safe- guard personal property. The soldiers in batracks will go- ven themselves by means of Soldiers' Councils, Officers who do not resist will be all owed to carry on. All officials will remain at their posts. Fundamental social and politi- cal reforms are

French Pursuit of the Germans?

Landon, Nov. 8. A French communique says: The pursnit of the enemy continued all day, dong, "a large. extent of territory and numerous French inhabitants being liberated. We increased our advance eastward of the Avesnes-Lacapell, road and reached the outskirts of Hirson, also the southern bank of the Thos between Origny and Liart and are establishing bridge-heads on the northern bank despite violent resistance..

KING EMMANUEL VISITS TRENT.

Rome, Nov. 9. King Emmanuel has visited Trent and received an ovation.

THE DOMINIONS AND PEACE,

London, Nov. 8....

The Press Bureau states that Mr. Hughes's statement that the peace terms had been definitely settled at the recent conference at Versailler without consulting the. Dominions renders necessary a statement of the actual posi- tion. The British Government has always recognised that the magnificent efforts and sacrifices by the Dominions and India entitled them to an equal voice with the United King dom in the settlement of the terms of peace. The whole question of the general peace settlement was exhaustively discussed by the Imperial War Cabinet last year, whereat Australia, for domestic reasons, was not represented. The conclusions were communicated to Australia and were again reviewed by the Imperial War Cabinet this year," wherein Australian representatives participated.

The British representatives at the recent Supreme War Council have done nothing inconsistent with these general conclusions, nor has the effective attainment in the final peace terms of any special objects to which the attention of the Imperial War Cabinet was drawn by the representa- tives of the Dominions and Indin been precluded or pre- judiced. The British Governrient has every intention of associating the Governments of the Dominions and India.. with itself in every stage in future discussions of the terms of peace, The Governments of the Dominions and India have been warned to hold themselves in readiness to come over or send representatives with a view to remaining in constant and closest touch with developments and being represented at the Inter-Allied Conference to be convened shortly in order to consider in detail the practical application of the general principles of the peace settlement.
