It ia noteworthy, however, that dis patches from neutral sources recently have interpreted the present situation in GeVmnny in a way that corresponds strikingly with certain parts of the prophecy. Disregarding the persistent rumors of the kaiser's plans to return later, these facts stand out to justify sus pension of judgment upon the present (lermnn regime: First, Germany ns n whole has thus fur manifested significantly few of the twunl symptoms of a nation in revolution. The apparent nonchalance if the public at large is even arousing cemmcnt. Accounts seem to indicate the overthrow of the monarchy is re- nnled with indifference. In ome re- stances mute regret is evident. There appears no nation-wide exultation in the new-found libertv. no tmrtiruliir indignation on the part of large lassos against the nuthnra of their i in t i ti n 11 1 misfortune.
