London, March IA Daily Nail"
dispatch from Berne declares that Ad-
miral van Tirpitz's resignation was
finally brought about by Albert BALM,
who opposed many features of his sub
marine policy. BALM, who still has
the Kaiser's ear, is said TO have warned
the Emperor and Chancellor that the
result of useless destruction OF mer..
chant ships would be the seizure OF
German vessels not only by Portugal
but also by other neutrals. He also
warned them that Germany's last COM
mercIal sheet anchor after the war
namely, North and South Americas
breaking away, and that further con-
hict with the United States on the SUP
ject of defensive arming Of merchant
men would finally isoiate Germany'
HIS arguments we're supported by the
votes IN the American Congress ana
the rapid fall in exchange.
According TO dispatch from Am
sterdam 20 "The Danny Express" the
resignation Of Admiral Won TirpitS
was due TO the fact that his views on
the U-boat campaign conflcted with
those of the Kaiser.
Emperor William Is declared 70 De IN
favor of a compromise with the United
States, while Won Tirpitz was for a
continuation Of the frightfulness cam
Laign. His withdrawal. it is believed
will have incalculable consequences on
Germany's naval policy.
DR.. Won BethmsnnHollweg. the lmpe-
rial Chancellor, may follow Admiral
Won Tirpitz into retirement. another
dispatch to "The Express from Geneva
declares Berlin reports are quoted
which state that Prince Bernhard Won
Buelow, the ex-Chancellor, will soon
leave Lucerne for Berlin. In many
quarters he Is looked upon as the
likely successor 10 the Chancellor.
The retirement Of Admiral Won Tir-
pitt is considered in French official
circles, according to the Paris news
napers, to be due 70 the fact that he
has opposed the coming out OF the Ger
man feet, while Emperor William de-
sires TO see it engage the British naval
forces. The conclusion is consequently
drawn that a change may be looked for
