IS DRAFTED Dispatches Indicate Germany Will Try to Continue Con versation With America By Associated Press Berne, Oct. 18.—Germany's reply to President Wilson's latest com munication was expected to be drawn up and dispatched to Wash ington last night, according to the latest advices received here from Berlin. The semiofficial newspapers In Germany indicate that It Is certain that Germany in the note will seek to continue the conversation. Advices . received from Berlin art to the effect that there is great ac tivity in political circles in view of the German reply to the note. It is understood the note is not a com plete refusal of President Wilson's demands. Field Marshal von Hindenburg was expected Berlin yester<4gy. Washington, Oct. 18. —Germany is I beaten. The victories won by the ihard lighting of the Allied armies has produced demoralization not alone in the German war forces, but in the machinery of civil govern ment. , The next German note to Presi dent Wilson is expected to be a plea for concession to the German people. In the meantime revolutionary changes in the governments of both Germany and Austria are under wuy to make it possible for these nations to plead for consideration for the German and Austrian peoples, re gardless of the crimes committed by the war lords of the two countries. It is no longer possible to regard the German peace overtures as mere subterfuges. The best informed au thorities of the government are con vinced that Germany desires peace upon any terms that will leuve the German people free to continue their national existence under their own government. Kaiser's Abdication Kxpeeled The abdication of the emperor as a voluntary act to avert threatened revolution is seriously expected. The change in the German consti tution which takes away-from the kaiser the war and peace making powers is a step in the direction of abdication.
