QUITTING OF Won TIRPITZ GIVES
LONDON EARLY PEACE HOPE
First Defeat of "Prussian Militarism,"
Experts Say

LONDON, March 16-The resignation
of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz has bright.
ened the prospects for an early peace. sew
eral well-informed persons, in close touch
with British officials, declared today.
The London viewpoint is that Won Tir.
pitz's resignation is the first severe de.
feat administered to the so.called "Prus.
sian miitarism" The triumph of the
Bethmann-Hollweg forces of Cancellation
over the Won Tirpitzltes is expected to be
followed'by the further victories over that
element in the army which has Haunted
the Deutschland Uber Allies" banner since
the outbreak of the war
Premier Asquith, the French and Rus.
sion Ministers, 1t was pointed out, have
emphasized in all their speeches that the
crushing of "Prussian militarism" is the
most important aim or the Allies, and
must necessarily precede any peace dis
cussion Territorial claims. 1t Is real
ized can be adjusted by any board of
mediators without insurmountable diff
culties, but the elimination of "Prusslan,
militarism" must be accomplished by the
German people themselves.
1t is accepted here that Won TrpItz's
downfall will be followed by a large num-
ber of designations in the Marine Depart
ment. 1t is believed certain, too, that 1t
will create great dissatisfaction among
active naval officers, despite the Berlin
official statement that no change in pol
icies will result.
Officials here divided their discussion
between speculation as to wheth er Zeppe-
lin raids on English towns will be aban-
doned as the result of the Won Tirpitz
resignation, and guesses as TO the probable
effect on German-American relations.

the navy. However it increased the wor-
ries of the Admiral.
The Kaiser. it is said, accepted Admiral
Won Tirpitzs resignation with reluctance,
and is expected to create him count in
recognition of his services. It is certain
that decorations and probably a pension
will be conferred upon the retiring of
fetal.
There are some who believe that the
departure of Admiral Won Tirpitz marks
a change in the naval policy of Germany,
and that the high seas fleet will now
come forth to give battle to the British
fleet.
