They, however, are still pushing with

are meeting with stubborn resistance

SCARED zone. So far as known there
has been little progress on either side,

Thousands upon thousands Of Ger.

It is said this ceaseless pushing for

is by direct order of the emperor,

which an early campaign is considered
among the possibilities, provided a
suitable base can be found upon which
to direct the forces.

berg, about whom there has been
much gossip because of his Austrian
origin, has resigned his position as
first sea lord of the admiralty. No
open charges have been made against
him, but a nespaper campaign against
his holding such a high command is
thought responsible for his withdrawal.
Announcement of Prince Louis res
ignation was made In the court circu.
lar, which stated that the prince had
been received in audience by the king
on relinquishing his appointment.
Although born in Austria, Prince
Louis came to England as a boy and
was naturalized in 1868, when he was
only IA years old. Twenty.three years
later he was promoted to a captaincy
and after another 10 years became a
rear admiral. He was appointed first
sea lord in 1912, a few years after his
visit to America.
Beside the fact that he was born in
Austria, the chief argument his oppo-
nents made against him was that he
is the brother.in.law of Prince Henry
of Prussia, who holds a somewhat SIM
liar command In the German navy.
There were rumors some time ago
that Prince Louis had been confined
in the Tower Of London. These reports
gained little serious consideration,
however, but the authorities deemed it
expedient that he should appear more
In public instead Of combining himself
to the admiralty, where, since the out.
break of the war, he had been work
ing night and day directing the STRAIT
egg Of the navy. He was considered
one of the most noted strategists of
