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.

DEMOCRACY EVIDENCE
OF ENLIGHTENMENT
Citizens Should Mnko Own Laws,
Tax Themselves and Decree
Own Wars
Today's talk on the Liberty Loan given
In the public schools Is as follows'
There are many nations In which the
people have become tired of constantly
holding themselves ready to obey the call
of some king to do things which they do
not wish to do nnd to obey laws which
seem to them unjust. The people of these
nations hnve taken the controt of the
government Into their own hands, nnd
have proceeded to elect their own rulers,
ln55.i!hemMlvcs' nnd nmk8 their wn laws.
Th. n! ?".? nro. c?"1 democracies.
7..e i"nt7 ,hey ,ralR0 bY taxation Is used

?EIC ' ,,h!, I,ealth. .. the citizens nnd

?I? ? y tho cxnmn,e and threat of such
despotism- as still exist, they build
navies and organize armies,
. f!ut.. dcmcraclc3 arc not looking for
opportunities to use these nrmles nnd
navies They think thnt their Govern
ments exist for the purpose of giving the
citizen the widest opportunity for life,
liberty nnd the pursuit of happiness They
are willing that their neighbors also shall
enjoy these blessings. 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. Hut
they prefer to spend their money ln such
ways as will add to their comfort and
happiness, and they hato tho ut less nnd
needless expense nnd bloodshed of nn ng
gresslve war. Wo may say that despot
ism can exist only so long as It kerps
Its subjects Ignorant nnd powerless In
public matters, and fearful of war. A
democracy, on the other hnnd, nlvvavs
tries to Insure peace by extending the
principle of arbitration Into International
nffalrs. If wo "make the world s if for
democracy," wo have made It safe from
vv ar.
Tomorrow we shall tell you why money
Is needed for war.
