EMPIRE'S FUTURE IN DOUBT
Greatest Issue Is Whether Countrj

' BT ARTRUR S. DRAPER.
tCopyrisht. 191S, py the New York Tribune.)
LONDON. Nov. 17. (Special.) In con
versation with the Tribune correspond
ent. Lord Robert Cecil said today:
"The Dutch position toward the
Kaiser appears to be that he is an un
armed German subject, who came into
Holland and is entitled to remain there.
"The form of the abdication of the
, Kaiser and the other rulers seems to
me not to matter much, for history has
shown that monarchs. despite their ab
dication, never hesitate to return If
they get the chance.
"The curious thing about the situa
tion in Germany ia that although the
revolution was supposedly accom
plished by the pressure of extremists
there are no extremists in the govern-ment-
"It Is difficult to tell what 'a real In
Germany and what la not. Possibly the
present government has been instituted
because It was thought that It was the
best way to get peace. Hindenburg
recognizes the government while still
considering himself in command of the
army.
The barbarian government Is quite
orderly and moderate.
-Berlin ia moderate, too, but whether
the government can impose its author-lie-
on the whole country Is still doubt
ful.
Disorders Are Spreading.
"The German Spartleus group Is aub
tantlally Bolshevist and undoubtedly
s strong revolutionary movement ex
ists. There are disorders in the Ger
man army and the situation in Belgium
is said to be very bad. According; to re
ports, the German troops In Brussels
are fighting- among- themselves."
Discussing' Bolshevism. Lord Roberts
said he believed the movement was
world-wide. He continued:
"The greatest political Issue of the
day Is whether the country is to remain
unified or separate Into warring classes.
The only remedy for Bolshevism Is to
find some means of unifying' the com
munity. All solutions, such as higher
wages and better conditions, fail to
touch the root of the matter. The only
cure seems to be a copartnership. The
workers will not be content to receive a
share In the profits. They must be given
a share in the management and a share
of the capital aa well.
Capital 4a Be Protected.
"The Bolshevists want everything
to go to the laborer, but I think man
agement and capital should also have
a fair share. If copartnership does not
. lead to a solution, I fall to see what is
to be done."
Lord Roberts said he was not a finan- 1
clal expert, but it seemed to him that
there was no reason to fear that the
transfer of valuables and securities
from Germany to neutrals will hurt the
. allies, for In any case, the allies would
not sleze private property.
Any demands made upon Germany
would be made upon the government.
whose business It will be to find the
money to pay. The usual method, he
concluded, has been to occupy territory
until tne sums demanded are found.

"The workers will not abandon their

rely upon the army, because the army

It is a fact commented upon with
pride by the American commanders and
complimented by the allies that seven
of these divisions that drove their way
through this hard action never before
had been in an active sector, while
green troops, fresh from home, were
poured in as replacements.
The Associated Press dispatches from
day to day told 'what these men did;
how the enemy was slowly pushed back
from his strongest and most vital posi
tions, through one defense system after
another, using hia finest selected
troops, which had been withdrawn in
many instances from other portions of
the line, in an effort to hold an enemy
which he derisively said last Spring
could not be brought to Europe, and if
so would not fight, and even if he tried
to fight would not know how to do so.
