WIDESPREAD UNREST IN GERMANY.

AMSTERDAM, Sept 24. Qount Hertling, in a speech in the Reichstag, admitted that there was widespread unrest in Germany as the outcome of the prolonged war, and the disappointing results of the Ger- ( man offensives, but there was no cause for pessimism. The enemy would not break the Hindenburg Line. The enthusiasm which marked the early days of the war had waned, hut determination to fight to the end remained. The war had always been defensive for Germany. The invasion of Belgium was a breach of treaty, but national self-defence over-rode treaty obligations. A GERMAN PREDICTION. AMSTERDAM, Sept 24. General Ardenne, writing in the “Tageblatt,” says: Probably the Germans in a short time must give up St. Quentin. Despite heavy losses, they are undoubtedly able to extend their attacks to the front between the sea and Ypres.
