GERMANY’S WEAKNESS.
WHAT AMERICANS SAW. [Aust and N.Z. Gable Association.] NEW YORK, Jan. It). The Paris correspondent of the Chicago “Daily News” interviewed two Americans from Russia, "who were permitted to travel in Germany because the authorities were grateful for theh care of German prisoners in Russia. They stated that the Allies were surprisingly ignorant of Germany’s weakness. The conditions in Germany were pitiable. People were starving, and looked haggard, wan, and listless. They believe the next offensive will bo the finish for Germany. The Pan-Germans’ demand for a Dictatorship, they said, was a sign of collapse, as the people were beginning to resent militarism savagely. FURTHER CONFIRMATION. [Aust, and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Thursday, 11.55 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Official advices from Greece state that a German aviator deserter reports that there are daily mutinies in the German army.
