STOCKHOLM, Nov. 10.—The few travelers who succeeded in crossing the German frontier to North Jutland all confirm that splendid order of things in North Germany after the great revolution. The abdication of the Kaiser has not created so much of a sensation as might have been expected, as his power had already gone.
As typical of the interest of the German people, a correspondent of Koebenhaven states that when he carried the news to a German sentry on the Danish boundary, the latter preferred to discuss food prices in Denmark. The same sentry states that his patrol had settled the question of command by telling their Lieutenant in charge they would stand no more of his cheek.
The German eagle has been picked off all Prussian helmets and military decorations. Anybody who refuses to remove the eagle risks being shot. In all Government offices pictures of the Kaiser and Ludendorff have been removed, whereas those of Hindenburg have been allowed to remain.
