OVERTHROW OF THE KAISER.

AUTHOR OF "j'ACCUSE" AGAIN BUSY. A sweeping victory by the Entente Allies, sufficient in its effect to arouse tho German people to a. realisation that they have .been deceived, is the only thing that will bring about a revolution and the overthrow: of the Hohenzollerns, according to Professor Herman Fernau. a German journalist, and author of "J'Accuse," a pamphlet published in 'Switzerland at the beginning of the war, find suppressed by that Government. Fernau, now a political refugee in Switzerland, is quoted in an interview obtained by the Switzerland correspondent of the Susskoye Slovo, the text of which was receive-', in New York on July lii by the Official French Bureau of Information, cabled from Paris. WHAT VICTORY WOULD DO.

"I consider a revolution in Germany possible only in the event of a sweeping military victory by the Allies," Fernau is quoted as saying in the interview.

''The fortress of the Hohenzollerns is impregnable in appearance only, imd it may crumble to pieces at an unexpected moment. Socialists liavo beuii deceived, as lmve all others in Germany, by a continuity of official lies since the beginning' of the war, when the German Govern, ment announced a French airplane raid on Xuremburg, and that Russian troops had violated the frontier. Later on, the Socialists learned they had been deceived but they had not the couraere to change their-attitude. The Socialist party in Germany is, moreover, a big capialistic business. They have 25,000,000 marks invested in various enterprises, and they control several thousand officials and employees. The Social Democrats prefer to lose their honor rather than their money. THREAT TO SOCIALISTS. "On August 2, ltm. 0 1 r,r:r , oll(V» Von Bcthmann-Holhveg called all tho Socialists leaders in Germany into conference, and he told them bluntly: 'Either you will be with us or wo shall destroy ,your organisations.' The Socialists dooided to support tho Government and continue their business. There is 110 doubt that tho repression in Germany of any popular movement will ho attended torriblo results, and a revolution will be the bloodiest that tho world has ever witnessed.. This revolution, however, will only come after a stinging as only then will tha people of Germany [•be sufficiently, indignant against the Eohenzollcrofi and tha military caste." '
