PERSONAL FEUD IS
 FINISHED BY KAISER
Bitter Struggle Between Falkenhayn and Hindenburg Ends With Dis
 placement of Former as Chief.

London, Aug. 31, Il a. m.-The dis placement of Gen. von Falkenhayn as German chief of staff and the ap- pointment of Field Marshal von Hin denburg to that post are said by Reu- ters correspondent at Berne to mark the end of long and bitter strife be- tween these men. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, he says, is believed gen orally to favor the moderate policy of Chancellor von Bethmann-H -Hollwes, while Gen. von Falkenhayn is among the opponents of the chancellor.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung says the change comes as a complete surprise, and adds:
 ''It is impossible that two men or full temperamental independence or each other, who also are widely sep arated geographically, could direct and command at such a decisive time. At such time it is absolutely neces- sary that everything shall be done to consolidate and increase our forces to the utmost. Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gen. von Ludendorf (appointed Field Marshal von Hin denburg's chief of staff) form a com- bination which unites allC Germans and all who are fighting on the German side, cheering them and encouraging them in the belief that victory will be OurS''

NO MORE HOUNDING|
 OF FREED CONVICT;
Commissioner Woods Says PohC|
 Persecution Is at End !

Osstning, Aug. 31.-Police Commis
 sioner Arthur Woods of New For promised to the 1000 convicts in Sin
 Sing Prison yesterday that he woul see that theye were not hounded b l.
 the police when they came out, proX
 vided they did their part and live
 straight. The commissioner with Mr
 Woods reached the prison in time t
 see the convicts march In companieI
 to the mess hall to the strains of Tork
 Browns Aurora band. Warden Osborne led his visitors inH to the big dining hall of the priso and allowed them to get a glimpsS
 of the men at their monday meal. lf l great roar of applause resounde i through the hall at their appearancej ! Warden Osborne introduced the comI 1 missioner as a good fellow from thl ! outside whom some of those present had probably met before. Commissioner Woods began by ex| blaming that in some respects the pol i lice of New York, as well as the libl 1 erated convicts who meant well, werd /; working along the same lines, botH
 trying to keep down crime.
 T know that is the great purposd of most of you here" he went onl
 "the purpose to make good when you
 get out. I didn't always believe thatl
 but I do now. What I want to do id
 to use the police force to help each|
 one of you to make good. I carl
 promise you there will not be anyl bounding of the former convict by the|
 cop if you do your part. If a manl of you is bounded I put it up to youI now to let me know about it.
 We are doing little somethingl along that line for a man now. He| left here some time ago and went| to the city determined to make good. He found his daughter was missing| and he couldn't hold his job becausel of ill-heaIth. He also needed time to day about thirty of your comrades, search for his daughter. The other members of the outside branch of the Mutual Welfare League invited me to dine with them. I took a chance Fl have had no reason to regret and went. A newspaper article about it came to this mans notice. He wrote me asking if I couldn't do something for him. We are helping him, we have persuaded his wife to have as much confidence in her husband as we have. We are trying to re-estab- fish his home again.
 But want to remind you again. you men have got to do your part. You can't he sentimental about 1t. People will be likely to distrust you. Start straight and keep straight. III don't mean by that don't make mis- .akes, fof we all make mistakes. But you know what I mean, and besides Warden Osborne has told you. Do his, be on the level and you will find he police will neither hound nor pound you"

vermont National Guard Will Not Go to Border as Ordered-CalIed Back Because of Railroad Tro,,b1e

Montpelier, Vt, Aug. 31-Vermont National Guardsmen. who left Bur lington yesterday under orders from the war department to proceed to Eagle Pass, Tex, abandoned their trip because, according to officers, the railroads would not guarantee that the troops could reach the border be- fore the time set for a strike on Monday. The troop train passed through here today on it's return to Camp Gates.
 The troops numbered 293 enlisted rIen and six officers and were the last of the forces to start from this state for the border. They left Bur- hngton over the Central Vermont railroad Photographic orders from headquarters of the departm of the east, at Governors Island, N Y. were delivered at Brattleboro early to- Gay for the troop train to return Governor Gates and Adjutant General I1llotson, who were at Bratt1eboro, communicated immediately with de- partment headquarters, which con- firmed the orders. Although they could obtain no official reason for the action, it was said that officials un- derstood the order counternnanding the movement was due to the railroad labor situation.
 New York Aug. 31.-The Vermont troops which have been recalled com rrise a machine gun, supply and headquarters companies recruited after the departure of the Vermont regiment, it was said today at head quarters of the department of the east.
