GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Wins GREAT VICTORY
Given Unqualified Support In His Pro-
gram of "I'eace With America"
on Submarine Issue.

Berlin. Nov. 13.-The imperial Ger
man chancellor. DIR, Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, today won what Is regarded
as the most significant political VIC
tory OF his career. 1t Is at the same
time a victory for the policy which
has as its guiding principle the motto.
Peace and friendship with America"
Incidentally, it became known for the
first time that General Won Falken-
hayn was relieved OF the Office Of
chief oh the great general staff for
the same reason that Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz was shelved, namely: adj
vocacy of reckless U-boat warfare.
The chancellor scored his triumph
when the executive committee of the
national radical party closed a two
day session by adopting. with but one
dissenting vote, a resolution con-
demning intrigues against him.
1t was in the course of a bitter ar
raignment OF the conservatives and
an-Germans for their submarine war
agitation that Frederick Won Payer.
south German radical leader in tho
Reichstag, disclosed that Falkenhayn
and T1rpitz, whom he described as
candidates for the chancellor's
shoes. lost their respective responsible
offices, because of their stand on the
U-boat question. He added that the
submarine policy had bteen placed by
the Reichstag in the hands of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. Falken-
hayn's successor.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Secretary OF

at the State Department that this

GENERAL SAM HUGHES
RESIGNS HIS POST
Owing 10 Differences of Opinion With
Premier. Defense Minister Is
Asked to Quit.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. ls.-FollowinJ
many reports of increasing friction
between General Sir Sam Hughes,
Canadian Minister OF Militia and De-
Tense. and Premier Borden and tho
other members of the Canadian gov
eminent the resignation of General
Hughes was announced today. 1t is
said that his resignation was request
ed.
One of the principal points OF con-
tention between General Hughes and
the other Canadian authorities was
the issuance of British army rifles to
the Canadian forces, policy that
General Hughes opposed. He had
stood out for the use OF a Canadian
weapon.
Ine resignation OF the Militia min
lister follows a series OF controversies
regarding matters of army admins
tration in which General Hughes had
his way. Adjustments have become
increasingly difficult and tho growing
disposition OF the Premier to force
his own ideas ended in the request for
Hughes resignation.
Another OF the points IN dispute was
the contention OF the government with
The large contingent in England there
could be an overseas minister OF mil
tia. This would have greatly cur
tailed General Hughes power and was
vigorously opposed by him.
The premier won his contention,
however. and General Hughes. accept
ing defeat. came forward with the REC
rmm endation for the appointment Of
Sir Max Aitken to the new post. Again
he was overruled and Sir George Per
ley WAS given the post. In spite of the
fact that there had never been harmony
between him and the minister of mil
tia and that the appointment still
further reduced General Hughes au-
thority
II is said further that Hughes crit
jctsn while in England OF the British
handling Of both Canadian forces and
supplies has caused resentment.
Stll another factor that probably
contributed to the action against
Hughes was the lack OF cordial feel
ing between himself and the Duke of
Eonnausht, who has Just left the DO

Gompers Causes One Jar.
Toward the close OF the opening ses-
sion there was slight jar. This was
when President Gompers, closing an
unusually stirring address on labor
and lahors problems. gave voice to
his personal views in the recent pres

There were not few in the audi

Mr.. Gompers which. apparently, were
made as representing the voice of the
more than 100000 workers in the
federation. The federation president
spoke of ''vindication at the polls last
