MANY THRONES BEING OVERTHROWN IN GERMANY.
POSSIBLE COLLAPSE OF WHOLE SOCIAL FABRIC FEARED United Service. .-VVV- LONDON. Nov. 12.
Thrones are tumbling, in Germany, but it is not yet clear that Herr Fritz Ebert, the new Chancellor, is succeeding in centralising control. Much depends upon the attitude of returning soldiers and food distribution. If the soldiers, refuse to surrender to the new., power discord may lead to the collapse of the whole fabric. Expert commentators think that the Soviets are mostly solid Socialist societies committees, and the extremist members are not feared. They are more concerned about food, thinking that the disturbance of production may lead to famine and inevitable Bolshevism reaction. Mr. 11. C. Hoover, American food Controller, is coming to Europe immediately to deal with the problem of victualling Central Europe. London fully expects to remain rationed until the enemies are • supplied. : Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, commander of a g"oup of armies on the western .front, has fled from Liege. His army has revolted. Times - LONDON. Nov. 13. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Times states that i.he King of Wartemburg, in a proclamation, states that the new Cabinet will hold an election on secret and equal suffrage, after which a convention will give the State a new democratic Constitution. He would never be a hindrance to the development desired by his people.
