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

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

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. Shall we have to go
to Jena to finish It? At all events we
