AS RESULT FREDERICK WAS RE-
ILEyED OF COMMAND AND
RETIRED TO PRIVATE LIFE.

Paris March s.--The Auto says ii
is generally believed in Alsace. which
is usually well informed about the
German Imperial family, that the
Kaiser and Crown Prince Frederick
william have been on bad terms since
September. The Emperor accused his
son of encroachins on his authority,
and OF issuing orders contrary to his
wishes. The Crown Prince replied
with a criticism of his fathers mil
itary strategy. A pipe which the
Crown Prince presented to his soldiers
at Christmas with an address, which
seemed to ignore his fathers suprem-
acy as generalissimo. formed another
offense.
The Kaiser at that time summoned
his son to Potsdam and there was a
stormy interview, at the conclusion Of
which the Emperor relieved hts son of
his command and army rank. and
sent him to private life. The silence
in regard TO the Crown Princes do
ings in recent weeks is due to this
disagreement.

Washington. March s.-The first
statement by General Obregon regard
ing conditions in Mexico City for which
he is held responsible. was made pub
lie here late today In dispatch re-
ceived at the constitutionalist agency
from the general himself.
General Obregons statement con-
tradicts much that has been reported
to the State Department and to foreign
embassies here by official representa-
tives. and reports conditions as very
different from what Washington un-
derstands them to be. General Obre-
gon asserts that the persons on whom
the United States government relies
for Information are poisoned against
the constitutionalist cause.
Al the White House today a similar
intimation was made in regard to some
reports from Mexico City which II was
declared were based on desire to
bring about American Intervention.
General Obregon's statement says In
part:

President Holds Recess Appointee'
Should Not Be Rejected Men.

Washington. March 9.--Prestdent
Wilson has abandoned his fight for
the recess appointments which were
rejected by the Senate at the last ses-
sion of Congress. He has decided to
choose other men for the Offices which
he filed while Congress was not In
session last fall, instead Of again Civ
ing them recess appointments.
The HIST Of the rejected appoint
ments which the President has been
impelled to abandon includes John ID.
Lynn. of Rochester, n. V, to lie
United States District Attorney for
the Western District Of New York;
George d. Hampton. to he collector of
internal revenue at Camden, y. j.,
and Ewing G. Bland, to be United
States marshall at Kansas City.
In a letter to one of these men
conveying the information that the
recess appointment would not be rs-
newed, the President said that he felt
he would be violating the spirit OF
the Constitution were he to ignore
the Senate's reflections. This was the
main contention OF sena'ors who op-
posed the idea that the President
could overrule the wishes VI th9 Sem
ate in making recess appointments.
