TEUTONS CRUSH MUTINY IN NAVY WITH IRON HAND f Outbreak at Wilhelmshaven Showed Unrest and Low Morale of Sailors RADICALS NOW MENACED I Militarists Expected to Seize Op portunity to Sweep Away Opposition in Reichstag COPENHAGEN. Oct. 11. More Jhan 3000 sailors and several mem. ters of the Reichstag were Involved In the mutiny In the nerman navy which broke cut the first of September, according to In formation received here today from a Ger man naval port. The leader were plotting revolution when the outbreak was checked by loal German loldlers and tailors Most of the warships affected were lying t Wilhelmshaven when the uprising took place. Latest reports give the following causes M the chief ones leading up to the mutiny: Influence exerted by the surer of the- rerolt In Kuln, which Innp'rrd the mm to a demand for "naval committee"," ucli now cxlot In the Itumilnn Act. Had and Innulllclent food. Low morale cnimed by Ionic Inactivity. Whether there, wns any connection be tween the outbreak tn tho navy and the mutinous uprising among the German oldlers on the western front Is unknown, but It Is assumed here that there was. IUNQLKADnilS PU.N'ISIWD The ringleaders tn both Instances were nverely dealt with A number were shot, nd severe terms of Imprisonment were Im posed upon others Tho sentences, harsh as they were fell short of the penalties de manded personally by the Kaiser Among tho warships affected wns the Westfalcn, which was reported sunk at tho time of the battle of Jutland. Others were the Lultpold, Prlnz Regent, Kaiser and Numbers The Government had the utmost difficulty In suppressing the revolt. Some of the marines refused to fire upon tho mutineers, io Infantry wns called to tile scone and tho iron disciplined soldiers showed no hesita tion In turning machine i;uns and rifles upon the mutinous sailors. It Is not known how many were killed Unrest In the German navy continues despite the stern measures that havo been taken to stamp it out It was recalled here today that, at the time of the Kaiser's hurried trip to Wil helmshaven at the time of the mutiny, the Berlin Loltal Anzelger and other papers etated that William wns going to review the fleet and the defences on Helgoland. It Is understood hero that the German navy has commenced to conscript sailors from the fleet for submarlno duty, and this may have been one of tho underlying causes of the growing unrest. Tho mutineers were reported to have damaged some of their ships by dismount ing gun Some of the loyal ofllcers on the ships were shot All of the members of tho Itelchstag Involved are Socialists. RADICALS IN DANGER Tho German military machine Is now ex pected to seek eradication of all opposing elements by new Iron-hand methods. News of Reichstag sessions of the next few days will be eagerly awaited here. Belief Is expressed In some qunitcrs that Qcrman mllliarlts will seize tho opportunity af forded by their prompt suppression of tho revolt to sweep away all radicals. The In dependent Socialists, of the typo of Lteb knecht Ledebour and Hassc. have always been thorns In tho side of the Pan-Germans. Llebknecht was removed by Imposition of a long term of Imprisonment because he cir culated petitions for stoppage of the war. That was several months ago. His work of Internationalism was taken up by Lede bcur, Hnase and a small minority group of Socialists They have constantly harassed the Government Now the Government re taliates by seeking to connect them with tho naval revolt. The minority Socialists have demanded that tho Reichstag appoint a committee to Investigate tho charges lodged by Admiral Mn Capelle against Deputies Haase, Dltt Jnann and Gogtheer The majority Socialist vUng demanded that the Marine Minister furnish full proofs, meantime refusing to define their own attitude on the charges. The fact that the' German censors passed the news of the naval rebellion Is taken as evidence that the militarists have managed gain to gain complete ascendancy and that they are becking an excuso for even moro rlEorc-us measures against popular rule. REVOLUTION BREWING, VIEW IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON. Oct 11. American Government officials took hope today from the German navy mutiny. In It they saw the chance that the long-hoped-for revolution within Germany Is brewing. i"viousiy mey had feared that the revolu tion would be slow In coming, and, while this Is an Isolated case, they predicted that "ia forerunner of other Internal troubles. The mutiny was regarded as the more itnlflcant from the fact that the navy has had to endure none of the real hardships to which other members of the German "llltary machine have been subjected. Im jmine from the grilling grind of battle, the navy has had comparatively good food and good treatment Hence, when even a few Hs members seek to upset the Knlser's jron regime, officials here Interpret the mu tiny as the most Important news from Ger many in recent months. If the trouble extends to the army and uien reaches Into the working classes within uermany, President Wilson's dream of a ermany minus Hohenzollernlsm may be Sk . , ? rar ln advance of what has gen IR, trolly been expected. While there has been n. illnnnalHnn lirA on the part of some to doubt that the Ger man people would split on the matter of Wir Intriguing leadership, the most re K?'ble. authorities have felt all along that iresiaent Wilson's Ideal was practicable, oooner or later, they believe, the Oermart Mopie will waken to the realization that ny are pawns In a losing gamo.

A people so far advanced that they enn organize and operate their own government are en lightened enough to realize also the hor rors of war and the uselessncss of trs lng to govern others against their will. Moreover, the people who send their representatives to make the laws nnd declare war If necessary are the very ones who must go Into the armies and navies and risk tholr lives In war In a despot ism those who declare war stay behind the armies and send the common peoplo to die In battle When the rights and liberties of a democracy nro threatened, the people are ready to light, and to light bravely.
