GERMAN DEFEAT SURE
LONDON". Sept. 30.
' Tho speech of Di von Bethmann-lloll-
!. the German Chancellor, Is regarded
' kero as nn admission that Germany's de
afest Is Inevitable. Dr. von Bethmann-
jHoIIwcb's words Implying that ruthless
(submarine warfare Is to be resumed are
I taken to clinch that belief.
N Germany hat' held her submarine fleet as
J' the final weapon to be launched when all
K else failed, nnd, despite the boast that the
German lines will hold, the Chancellors
. reference to submarines shows that fear
has begun to eat Into Mie heart of the Ger
iman Government In the minds of English
R leaders.
' Such responsible newspapers as the Times
and the Chronicle, in analyzing the Reichs
tag speech, see in It a reflection of ofllclals
B5 pessimism.
inc l lironicio declares xnat uermany sees
all hope of annexing Belgium gone and that
she realizes that she cannot win on the field.
The only question, the Chronicle says, is
"How much longer can Germany last?"
Newspapers and Government officials ex-
press no exaggerated hope. They say that
l Germany will fight on and that it may bf
I many months before the end Is near, but all

lor s speech Is one of the most Important.

istry of Marine denies the Kllkls lias de
serted, but the Minister has expressed tho
deepest regret over the defection of the
HydrA.
According to stories told today the Hydra
was virtually stolen by the revolutlonlts,
though with the consent of her commander,
nn enthusiastic Venlzellst, At an early hour
In the morning men put out In a rowboat
to where the Hydra, was anchored under
the guns of tho 1'iraeus Arsenal, nnd.
climbing on board, threatened the officer of
the deck nnd the watch officer with death
lf they made a sound.
All the ship's officers not In sympathy
with the revolution were put overside Into
small boats, and two tugs which had been
ordered to come at a given hour hooked to
the big warship and 'drew her out of the
harbor. Arriving In Salamls Bay she was
