Hindenburg Appointment
Quits U-Boat War Demand

Berlin. Sept. IL. - via London.
Sept. 13. - The weeks which have
passed since the appointment of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg as chief of
the general staff have been marked bv
almost complete cessation of the dis
cussion In regard to the resumption
of submarine warfare on the old or n
more vigorous basis. Nonpartisan
newspaper observers who are in touch
with leading statesmen and politicians
express the opinion that for the pres
ent at least there will arise no question
of change in submarine policy. The
administration of Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg now feels itself
fuiiy In control of the situation in this
respect. A controversy over the meth
DDS of the food dictatorship has now
supplanted the submarine issue in the
conservative and other newspapers
which are opposed to the chancellor.
