Berlin. Aug. 15.-The official an
nollncement that General Brossart Won
ScheIlendorf. the minister for war, had
been relieved frc m office and that he
would be succee, led by General Won
Gossler, startled thse political world this
afternoon. The war minister's differ
ence with the emp error regarding the
long planned military trial reform has
Teen a topic for disc 1ssion for long
tine past and II was known that unless
his majesty acquiesced IN General Won
echeIledorf's view in the matter. which
was also the view of the imperial chan
cellor, Prince Hohenloher both intend
ed to resign. But II was thought that
the crisis would be tided over until af-
ter the cars visit to Berlin and it ap-
pears that the true reason which in
duced the emperor to abandon his pro-
jected trip to the Rhine provinces was
not physical indisposition, but the fact
that Prince Hohenlohe and General
Won Schellendorf had intimated TO his
majesty that they would resign unless
he agreed to the military trial reform,
to which the ministers were publicly
pledged and which, owing to the infiu-
ence of the emperor's private military
cabinet, especially that of General Won
Hahneke, the aide-de-camp general,
has been deferred repeatedly. The in
terviews between Emperor William and
Prince Hohentohe on the subject were
not satisfactory, as the chancellor in
sisted upon his point, also alleging that
the burdens of office were more oner-
ous than his age and health could bear.
No definite understanding was reached
but il is understood that the matter
was postponed, so far as Prince Hohen-
lone is concerned, for the time being,
and he will remain in Office, unless new
and sudden complications arise, until
fall, at least.
SCHELLENDORF FIRED.
The case of General Won Schellendorf
was different. He has been anxious to
retire for some time and insisted upon
resigning forthwith unless his majesty
agreed that the trial bill should be in
troduced in the reichstag during the au-
fumn. The announcement that the gen.
eral has been relieved from the Office
Is the emperor'S reply. General Won
Chellendorf's leave of absence expired
on July 81.
The emperor's reasons for objecting
to the reform of the military trials is
that ne fears that publicity in the trials
would weaken army discipline. But
General Won Schellendorf was also net
tied on account Of the recent removal of
General Won Haberling from the head
of the central section OF the general
staff, to ordinary service, without his
consent or advice. Prince Hohenlohe
left Berlin today for Werki, Russia.
THE CARS VISIT.
The prospective visit of the car to
Breslau and Goelitz in order to witness
the big fall maneuvers is considered of
prime political importance. German
politicians claim that the cars pres
ence at these maneuvers and the at
tendant feteS means a guarantee OF
peace and a check to the ambition of
France.
The Vossische Zeitung says: 1--WE
may greet The WISH, pSNuiiai vi
cumstances, as good omen. When the
first visit paid by the car to the en-
peror is timed so as 20 include an illus
1ration of Germany's readiness and
capacity for war, it win respond to the
Fundamental idea that the present
policy OF the European powers is to en-
sure peace by preparing for war"
