afternoon a man who had been sitting
since the beginning OF the trial in the
space reserved for war Office officials was
arrested by detectives and taken from the
court room under military escort.
Lody took the stand In his own defence
this afternoon. He said he was formerly
a senior Lieutenant in the German navy,
but had been transferred to the reserve,
and later acted AS tourist agent for the
Hamburg American Line. He said he was
well known In New York and married

His Resignation Demanded.

The scandal Of the non-de!!vory OF the
field artillery which made the public
aware that In case of war the iitld
artillery equipment OF the army was
so inefficient that non-reco!l guns would
have tn be used, resulted in bitter criti-
cisms Of the Minister OF War, whose OPP
tnism strangely contras;ed with tho
feeling OF alarm displayed by the public.
II was then realized that Gen. Grandl
was to blame for negb citing to prepare
the army and that his passive attitude
practically amounted TO opposition OF the
chief OF Stairs activity. The resignation
OF the Under Secretary OF War followed
Immediately. but the press urged that the
Minister himself should resign and Ia less
than a week he left the War Office.
The appointment OF his successor was
most significant, since II proved that inc
Government fully approved the conduct OF
the chief Of STAFF. In fact Gen Cadorna
was asked to propose "A General who
according TO his judgment would make
a good Minister OF War, and he recon-
mended one OF his subordinates, Cen
Zupeli, who AZ Sub-Chief or stan mad
cooperated with him in Fastening warlike
preparations Gen. Zupelli was AT once
appointed Minister despite the fact that
ne is a native OF lstr!a and consequently
certainly not persona grata to Austria.

enemy. l..
Considering that II italy goes 70 war u
Ia inevitable that she should attack Aus
.ria, the fact that a citizen OF one of the
italian provinces under Austrian rule
should be selected as Minister OF war IN
normal times would hay" been considered
a provocation Neither Austria nor Ger
many protested against the appointment
OF Gen. Zupeli. who even before assuming
charge OF the War Office issued state
