TROUBLES DUE TO
INTERNAL PROBLEMS
It Is Believed, However, That Unrest

sational Changes
sational Changes.

WASHINGTON. July ll.-Germany'
latest political difficulties are regarded
by officials here a. due largely to inter
nal problems. and probably OF tran-l-
tory nature only The dismissal Of For
eicn Secretary Zimmerman, Minister q
Finance Hellferich or even Chancellor
Won Bethmann Hollweg himself would
be considered largely surface move
ment, for not until the great army staff
itself is reached. il IS believed, Will the
real crust of German militariSm be
broken.
/ The German foreign office, it was
/ pointed out to-day, has served during
! the war merely IA means to get the
military leaders out of trouble. Ameri-
can officials agree with allied diplomats
here that many OF the German officials
who figure 50 largely in the news are III
fact largely puppets being pulled across
the stage as a blind to the German peo-
Pile Their rise or fall, they say. has
little significance an Germanys military
and foreign policies.
Nevertheless. il j. agreed that there is
an enormous amount OF unrest in Ger
many today which in all probability will
lead TO sensational internal changes il
personnel of the government
Fundamental internal reforms in Ger
many are felt here to be only a mattel
of time. Those who have most recently
been To Germany say that reform is alb
soutely certain the moment the war i
! over and that the chances greatly fayo
! initial steps being taken even during
hostilities.
} Austria's influence is becoming NOR
:, and more nsistent toward a liberal peac
, and her activity in consulting Germa
n statesmen and political leaders is I'm
doubtedly causing worry at Germa
headquarters.
