BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, Aug. 21— A revolut
ion is to break out in Germany after the war unless all
plans are completely frustrated.
This is learned here in captured orders of German mil
-itaiy commanders who have demanded certain powers.
»t is understood that for months, according to letters from
the War Minister to the German commanders in the field,
letters have been receiv’d at home from soldiers indicating
a strong revolutionary tendency. Soldiers on leave are ah
so said to have pubiicly spoken about a revolution to break
out after the war.
The War Minister has ordered all German command
ers to deal with such objectionable talk immediately and
authorities have been requested to take corresponding
measures.
Captured letters from men at the front show that
orders have also been issued protesting against their
’whining.” Prisoners taken during the past week tell of
the German morale being low and that they are receiving
.etters from home that most severe conditions exist.
