REVOLT INEVITABLE.

GERMANS' BROKEN.MORALE.

ANTI-WAR RIOTING.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17. A cable to the Now York Tribune says that the German Government has been

holding an investigation regarding; the morale of the German people. The inquiry resulted in the discovery that a crisis is rapidly approaching. I.udendorfl is discredited. Hindenburg declared that the Germans would not endure the hardships of another winter and a campaign in the spring. Only the Entente Allies would be prepared to undergo that experience. The German cornmander at St. Mihiel declared that a revolt in Germany was inevitable.

The Berne correspondent of the Tim*i reports that the women of Munich mad* a menacing demonstration against the continuance of the war. The police refused to suppress the demonstration, and soldiers who were called out also refused to take action, and were immediately sent to the front.

Router's Amsterdam correspondent states that noisy scones occurred at sittings of the Berlin municipalities. Ths Socialists bitterly complained of the starvation rations, and one statement that it was time that tho war ended was receivod with uproarious applause from the public galleries.

The Socialist paper Vorwarts Btetes that two-thirds of a secret committee on electoral re(form appointed by the Upper House of the Reichstag are sworn enemies of equal suffrage, and the full House is proportionately antagonistic.

Meanwhile the Socialists' frame of mind is indicated by a party manifesto displayed in Vorwarts, protesting most strongly, in the name of the millions of uninfluential supporters, against the continuance of the electoral reform comedy, and demanding tho immediate dissolution of the Lower House.'

The manifesto proclaims that the people's watchwords should be, " Away with the three-class Parliament;" "Away with the Upper House;" "Up with universal/ equal, direct, and secret suffrage:" and "Long' live democracy and peace.'
