MILITARISM IN GERMANY DECLARED DEAD FOR EVER,
SUBORDINATION TO CIVIL- CONTROL EFFECTED.
REMOVAL OF TWO GENERALS TYPIFYING OLD SYSTEM. Australian and N.Z. and Router. (Reed, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 11.
A German official wireless message states that Herr Erzberger, leader of the Catholic Centre Party, in an interview, said that the new Government's first steps had been to subordinate military power to the civil control. The War Minister, General von Stein, and two commanding generals, who were considered to embody militarism, had been removed. Commanding generals in the interior had been ordered to submit their decisions to the local civil authorities. Militarism in Germany was ended forever. Renter. (Received 5.5 p.m.) BERNE, Oct. 12. It may be a mere coincidence that the rumours of the Kaiser's intending abdication are synchronising with the summoning of the council of German monarch.B, but if he intends to abdicate, such a council would bo an almost necessary preliminary. The well-informed centrist newspaper Germania in this connection makes the significant observation: '*Nothing is more uncertain at this moment than the future of the House of Hapsburg and also of another house."
