GERMANY SOON TO BECOME A REPUBLIC
Germany, the greatest autocracy the world has known, is to become a republic. The election of a president for all of the German states of the former empire is set for Sunday, December 29, and the call has been sent out for the election. The government headed by Frederick Ebert, the socialist leader, who took charge after Prince Maximilian had resigned, has been a republic. The former kaiser is reported to be confined to his bed with a chill and a ear-ache, but whether the changing of his once great empire over which he ruled as dictator to a republic is the cause of his illness is not made public. The anti-German forces now occupy Odessa and the Bolsheviks power appears to be waning in Ukrama. The Estonian provisional government has placed itself under the protectorate of the entente allies until the final peace treaties are signed.

King Victor Emanuel, of Italy, arrived in Paris today to greet President Wilson with whom he will confer on Italy's interests in the final settlement with the central powers.
