Bremer j haven is on the Weser river. Rensburg is in Holstein province. LONDON, Nov. 8. (I. N. S.) The German revolution is spreading, according to a Copenhagen dispatch to the Ex change Telegraph company. , Bremen, Schwerin and Tilsit have joined it. Karl Liebknecht, Socialist leader, who was recently released from prison, has formed a council of soldiers at Bremen. The revolution created much enthusiasm at Bremen, where the church bells were tolled in celebration. Prince Henry, brother of the kaiser, left Kiel in a speeding motorcar. Forces wearing red bands upon their arms forced the prince to give them a lift, but they were knocked from the run ning board by sailors. The revolutionaries fired volleys at the automobile, but it is not knowq whether they wounded the prince or not. The Third infantry regiment at Oldenburg, the aerodrome forces at Blankenstein, the' sailors at Flersburg and the men at tached to the naval station at Murvich joined the revolution. Strict German censorship prevents the Berlin newspapers from publishing any unofficial dispatches about the uprisings, said an other Kxchange telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. The Tsgeblatt says that Berlin ii quiet but that the Socialist leaders, Liebknecht and Hoffman, are organiz ing; man meetings. The situation at Kiel Is reported unchanged. The coun cil formed at Kiel by the workmen and soldiers Is maintaining order. Nervousness is widespread throughout All of iBchleswIg-Holsteln, hcr numer ous prisoners were released. v.- i (illliil t When vou invest your money you want to know what you are getting what your inter est return is going to be what your security is, etc. Do you think when you in vest your money in clothing? It's a good thing to do un der present conditions. Uncle Sam wants you to handle your every-day invest ments so you will be able to lend him as much as possible. He would tell you to buy clothes and othe rthings of quality, because they are cheaper in the long run. He never buys second qual ity in anything neither should you. We agree with him. When we buy our stocks of goods for you, we make sure that the $25 or the $50 suit or overcoat possesses all the qual ity it is possible to get, because WE WANT YOUR CLOTHING BUSINESS Invest in Mathia Clothe the returns will be satisfactory.

San guinary fighting has been, raging in the German city of Hamburg, which is now in the hands of the revolutionaries, said a dispatch from Denmark and Holland early today. Many women took part. Submarine crews in German porta de serted and engaged In the conflict with loyal troops. The German high seas fleet at Kiel has disappeared. Copenhagen dispatches spoke of its whereabouts as "being a mystery." Commandant Heinie of the Kiel naval station was killed in fighting there Thursday.

Trench Phase of War Is Over, Says Simonds; Belgium Is Last Ditch ; ; : By Frank H. Simonds (Cyright. 1918. by Ne w To Tribune, Inc.) THE present German retreat is one more of those wide swing ing; withdrawals which follow the collapse of an organized system of defenses. In the past four years the Germarr has organized a series of these defenses, beginning with the Hinden burg line. The first position was broken in the fighting between September 26 and October 12. The German fell back, then, to the line of the Scheldt and its coordinating details,stretching behind the Oise, the Serre and the Aisne p the high ground north of Ver dun, between the Aisne and the Meuse. Today he is drawing back his final line of defenses between Mets and Mesieres, north of Mezieres and west of his last line, behind the Meuse through Namur and Liege to the Dutch frontier. He has still several intermediate posi tions,, but if he loses the Mezieres-Sedan-Mets line, then the Invasion of Germany will begin without delay. The present retreat probably means that the German is going to retire until he gets behind the Dendre river, which rises not far from Mons in Belgium. This stream is canalized most of the way to its confluence with the Schedit, near Tremonde. and will constitute a material obstacle to allied advance. Germans Have Sew Defeases Between Mons and Maubeuge the Germans have been erecting a line of defenses, not comparable with the old systems, but sufficient to delay pursuit. Between Maubeuge and Mezieres he has a system which borrows the old forts of the French frontier defense, includ ing those of Hlrson and Mezieres. But these defenses can now be only way stations; the German retreat can only temporarily halt west of the Antwerp-Namur-Mesleres line, and ft may make only a short stay anywhere west of the Meuse, because the ever growing Amer ican pressure south of Mezieres threat ens the whole German front in Belgium. Meantime the French phase of the world war is over. The Germans are being pushed right oxer the frontier' all the v&y from the Meuse westward, and we are getting back to the situation of the opening act of the struggle, when Belgium, alone, took on the German at tack in tbfi. terrible first days of August, 1914. Rlrers Form Strong Lines If you look at any map of Belgium you will see that a number of rivers flow north and south. These supply the defense positions of the Germans north of the Sambre. and they are the Scheldt, now turned: the Dendre, to which the Germans are retiring ; the Benne, which flows through Brussels and Is connected with the Sambre by a canal starting at Charleroi ; the Dyle, which passes through Lou vain, and finally the Geete, which flows almost across the face of Liege, but turns west to join the Scheldt through various channels. As the allies are moving eastward they will encounter the Germans making a stand behtnd each of these lines, and If there Is a Belgian campaign we may expect to have battles bearing the names of all these rivers. South of the Sambre the Meuse, which for a long distance flows north and south before it bends at Namur, serves as the extension of all these northern lines. As long ss the Germans hold the Meuse. between ...... . Vii..- i'., mentalres have arrived in the - allied lines and met Marshal Foch. The Germans cam from the region of Spa and crossed the allied lines ta the region of La Capelle. where they asked permission to enter the allied front. The German troops suspended action on that part of the fighting sone to allow the parllamentaires to pass in safety. The Germans arrived about 8 o'clock and were immediately directed through Guise towarda the place that. had been designated for the revelation of the allied terms. White Flag Covers Map Parts, Nov. 7, 10:60 p. m. (U P.) A white flag tonight was spread clear across the boulevard newspaper map which heretofore has been showing the dally advance by the movement of flags. Cheering crowds gathered in front of the newspaper offices. Automobile lights and street lamps were boldly bbown. Namur and Mezieres. they can in turn defend the several rivers, but their main stand wouia naturally be behind the Dyle, on the line of Antwerp-Namur-Mezleres. When this line gives way they will have to retire behind the Meuse throughout its Belgian course and most of Belgium will be liberated. Losg Campalgs Possible A relatively long campaign may then be necessary to clear Belgium from the north. But between Namur and Mets the German must hold the line. Namur Mezieres - Sedan - Montmedy-Thlonville, and our own American troops are al ready within three or four miles of this "last ditch" position. It is an im mensely strong position, resting on two considerable rivers, the Meuse and the Chlers, buttressed by the first hills of the Ardennes ; It has been powerfully organised and should be able to hold out at leawt for many weeks. But despite the river obstacles north of the Sambre. the German situation In Belgium is critical in the extreme. A real disaster may come at any moment, because as the British push down the Sambre valley, toward Namur, they threaten the communications and line of retreat of all the German armies fighting to the north. Not until these get safely behind the" Meuse, if they do, can there be any respite. British on Road to Waterloo Meantime the British are on the road to Waterloo ; our American . troops are already on the battlefield of Sedan. Beaumont, which they took two days ago. was the scene of the capture -of De Failly's troops, whoso defeat doomed MacMahon : Mouson. also In our hands, was the point where the French army recrossed the Meuse on its way to final disaster: Bazilles, with its memories of "La Derniere Cartouche," is one mile from' Pershing's outposts. From the Belgian frontier to Mets the German is entering his last ditch. France is practically freed of his hate ful presence. He Is now condemned to fight for his life in Belgium. The final retribution for his Invasion, for his transformation of his pledge into a "scrap of paper," is at hand. Under the eyes of the Belgian people, for so long his victims, the German soldier must surrender or face disaster. Even In their final agony, the Belgian people will find a certain solace. German mil itarism Is to be destroyed on the ground where it attained Its foulest altitude. Moreover, there is real, if only sym bolic value in the fact that one half the German forces .are retiring upon Waterloo, while the other half Is al ready at Sedan.
