WAIT KAISER'S RETURN
Candidacy of Prince Won
BuelOw Being Pressed Vig-
OrOusly as Possible.
CHANGE Is UNAVOIDABLE
Demand Almost Universal
Following Revelations Con-
cerning Mutiny

CoPENHAGEN, Oct. 13.-When EN-
peror William returns from Sonia he
may be confronted with the resignation
OF Chancellor Michaelis as we'll as that
OF Admiral Won Capelle as Minister Of
Marine. according to reports current In
the press. Latest information from Ber.
lin Is to the effect that pressure against
the Chancellor Is increasing from all
sides. AS to the Minister OF Marine
formal announcement of. his retirement
seems to be delayed only on account Of
the Kaisers absence.
When the Emperor will return seems
uncertain as his published itinerary in
cludes visit to Constantinopie. Agita-
tion AGAINST the Chancellor Is said to b
the chief topic in Germany, taking
precedence over even the most important
military moves.
1t is charged that the Chancellor
showed not only a lamentable lack Of
political acumen but his act also re.
suited in the rehabilitation of the Rad
ical Socialists to considerable degree.
The hindsight of the Government re.
garding the effect of the naval plot dis
closures is shown by the TorEoerts N
an interesting revelation that the cen
sorship was applied to the Chancellor's
speech and that the telegraph was
barred to newspaper dispatches while
the authorities were considering in what
form the speeches Of Michaelis and Ad.
miral Won Capelle could be tcieEraphed
abroad.
