November 10, 1918
The New York Times' London office has received the following Havas dispatch from Basle, Switzerland: "Wilhelm II, the reigning King of the monarchy of Württemberg, abdicated on Friday night." This is confirmed by a Wolff Bureau dispatch from Stuttgart, "by way of Amsterdam," which states that the "King has issued a proclamation saying that his person would never serve to hinder the development of the wishes of the people."
A report received from Berlin says that the "German Socialists are demanding that every dynasty in Germany be suppressed and the Princes exiled."
It is also reported that the Kings of Bavaria and Saxony "intend to abdicate soon."
