There was no information as to the circumstances under which the armistice armis-tice was signed, but since the German courier did not reach German military headquarters until 10 o'clock Sunday morn in, French time, it was pen- erally assumed here that the German envoys within the French lines had been instructed by wireless to sign the terms. Forty-seven hours had been required for the courier to reach German headquarters, head-quarters, and unquestionably several hours weYfi necessary for the exami-' exami-' nation of the terms and a decision. It I was regarded as possible, however. ' . that the decision may have been made at Kerlin and instructions transmitted trans-mitted from there by the new German government. I'p to Sunday there were four kingdoms king-doms in the German empire,: namely, Prussia. Bavaria, Saxony and Wiirttcinborg. All but Saxony are now kitvriess and tbroneless. The situation in Saxony is not clear from the dispatches. dis-patches. Germany's total population is, j-oughly, TIUMHUKXI. The populations of the three revolutionized revolu-tionized kingdoms are: Prussia, 41.-(XMi.tXH); 41.-(XMi.tXH); Jiavaria, 7.iKXI.O; W'urttem-lieyg, W'urttem-lieyg, H,IHJO,(K)ll;lotal, ol ,K KJ.(MK. Of the remaining inhabitants of the empire, it is safe to say, on the strength of all dispatches, that the majority ma-jority has joined the revolt. I. ate dispatches report the king of Saxony is also about to abdicate; if he has not already done so. He is Kriedrich August H, whose personal life was exposed some years ago by his divorced wife, the Princess Louise of Tuscany. |
