London, July 16.-The report of
the resignation of DR.. Theobold Won

DR.. George Michaelis, Prussian un-
der-secretary of finance and food
commissioner, has been appointed
chancellor.

Abdication Unconfrmed.
Nothing has been received to con-
firm or deny the report of the abdi-
cation of Emperor William in favor
of Prince Joachim.
The political turmoil which has
been convulsing Germany ever since
Russia's first startling success on
the resumption Of her offensive has
eliminated for the present in the
resignation Of the imperial chancel-
lor, but all indications serve to show
that his resignation is only the be-
ginning Of farreaching developments
which are bound to affect the fabric
of the German empire and have mo-
mentous consequences on the prog
rcss Of the European struggle.
A Berne dispatch quoting an Off
cial telegram from Berlin announc-
ing the resignation of General Won
Stein, the Prussian minister of war,
says the Importance of his retire.
ment lies in the fact that the Prus-
sian war ministry in reality is the
war ministry for the German empire
and that General Won Stein is a.
stanch supporter Of the Pan-Ger-
mans, who are the bitterest oppon-
ents Of peace without annexations
or indemnities
His Resignation Unexpected.
The resignation of the chancellor
came in the end quite unexpectedly,
for DR.. Won -Hollweg, in
the prolonged party discussions and
heated debates of the main commit
tee of the Reichstag, which have
been proceeding all through the
week, seemed to have triumphed
over his opponents. who have been
clamoring for his head, by making
concessions which were tantamount
to the formation Of kind of imper-
ial coalition ministry.
At the same time, the chancellor,
by the declaration that Germany
was fighting defensively for the free
dom of her territorial possessions,
evolved a formula that seemed sat
isfactory to both those who clamored
for peace by agreement and those
who demanded population of the
formula mo axxenations and no in
IDENTITIES"
Had Kaiser's Backing.
In all this DR.. Won Bethmann- -Holl-
veg was strongly backed by the en-
peror. The advent of the crown
prince on the scene-summoned by
his father to share the deliberations
affecting the future of the dynasty
seems to have changed entirely the
position with regard to the imperial
chancellor
The crown prince at once took a
leading part in the discussions and
his ancient hostility toward DR.. Won
Dethmann-H -Hollweg, coupled with his
notorious dislike for political reform,
undoubtedly precipitated the chan
cellor's resignation.

Orders Are Gen by Daniels for Full Speed Naval
Do You Want to Save Commercial
Club? Be at Meeting Monday Night

Is the Commercial club worth saw
ing?
You probably have definite ideas on
the subject, one way or another.
A meeting will be held at the Com
mercial club Monday night at o'clock
at which every citizen will be given an
opportunity to express his views on a
subject of vital interest to the city;
namely shall it be thumbs up or
thumbs down with the Commercial
club?
The committee in charge of the
campaign to save the club has sounded
public sentiment and it believes that
the people of Albuquerque do not want
TO see the institution that has done
most for the city go down in ignomin =
ious defeat. The committee has up to
this time devoted itself to finding out
what the people want, and not to col
lectng funds. although some contri-
buttons have come in from voluntary
subscribers.
The committee believes that it has
feasible plan to put the club on a
sound financial footing. Here is its
plan:
Three separate and distinct organi-
cations are provided for-all affiliat-
ed. First, there will be a CONNER
cial club building corporation, which
will own the building; second, there
will be a Commercial club which will
be a social organization for the busi-
ness men of the city; and third there
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1917-02-09

will be a Chamber of Commerce that
city's Industrial development.
The building association will rent
rooms on the second floor to the
Chamber of Commerce, sufficient for
the work that this body will have to
do; and it will also lease the re-
mainder of the second floor and the
entire third floor to the Commercial
club. These leases will be for long
terms. The ground floor will be rent
ed to various organizations and con-
Germs, as at present. and 1t is estimated
that a sufficient revenue will be de-
rived from such rentals to make that
part of the scheme a success
Thus it will be seen that the activi-
ties and finances of each of these or
ganizations will be apart while work
ing together to the same end, i. G., a
bigger and better Albuquerque.
The building will be saved by the
placing upon the market for popular
subscription of stock in the building
corporation, and the directors of the
latter concern will be chosen from the
stockholders. each share of stock to
be good for one vote.
This is what the people back of the
movement think is the best way TO
save the club" If you have a better
plan, let it be heard at Mondays
meeting forever hold your peace.
Anyway, be at the meeting Monday
and be present at history in the max
ing

Los Angeles, Feb. S.-~-Resentment

in the history of the Golden state)
swept California when her citizens to-
day read Senator Works speech in
which he charged the United States
and American citizens with being un-
neutral towards Germany, an attitude
which, he said, made the break with
Germany inevitable.

This afternoon, the city council
here, by unanimous vote, denounced
Senator Works for his attitude and
characterized his attack upon the
president as "uncalled for and untime-
ly and at variance with the spirit
of true AmeriCanism.'
The resolution assured the presi-
dent that Los Angeles and all Cali

unpatriotic opinions" of the senator.
Further, the president was assured by
the council "of our hearty support
OF his policy" The resolution was
adopted without comment but after
it's passage cheers rang through the
council chamber.

speech, the Los Angeles Times edi-

with Germany and pledging its loyalty
to the United States were adopted by
the German American national allt-
ance at meeting which continued in
session here until early today 1t was
decided also, in case of hostilities. to
form regiments of German Americans
and turn over to the American Red

The meeting was attended by dele
gates from twenty-eight states. The
alliance is said to- have a membership
of 100000.
At the eonolusiar of tho session to-
day DR. Charles j. Hexamer. president
of the federation issued the following
statement:
'The German-American national al
lance, representing 100000 constitu-
ents. has passed resolution backing
up President Wilson in handing pass
ports to Ambassador Won Bernstorff
and recalling James w. Gerard from
Berlin.
eve have also adopted resolutions
pledging our services to the govern
ment OF the United States in case of
war. We will fight under the com
mand of President Wilson as our COM
mander-in-chief as Loyalty as German
Americans fought under Commander
in-chief Abraham Lincoln in the civil
war for the preservation of the union,
I'VE will organize Commandment
can regiments and in case of a call for
volunteers we mean to show the Amer
lean people with what readiness and
patriotism we will answer a call to
arms for the defense of the flag and
the country.
I'VE have been collecting funds for
the German Red Cross and for the
German widows and orphans. In view
of the present break of relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
we have resolved to deposit all moneys
received for these funds In bank. In
case of war we will at once turn over
all the moneys we have raised for the
German Red Cross and German
widows and orphans to the American
Red Cross and for the benefit of
widows and orphans of our boys who
have to give their lives to defend our
country against Germany.
"Our delegates feel that we have
been greatly misunderstood and un-
justly criticized during the war but If
IL comes to war with Germany our ac-
tions will not be susceptible to any
further misunderstanding for we will
back up our American government
with our lives and our means. If the
present troubles can be settled without
war and in a few months everything
looks like peace we may determine
again to send our funds for Red Cross
and widows and orphans as we have
been doing in the past.

washington, Feb, S-The American n
government still is without the official
evidence of an overt act by Germany,
considered necessary to justify Presi-
Ident Wilson IN going before congress
for authority to use necessary means
to protect American seamen and peo-
pie,
There no longer is any doubt that
the ruthless submarine campaign is
in full swing in defiance of the warn
ing of the United States Everywhere
it is believed that if no American ship
has been destroyed, it is because
American ships are lying idle in their
harbors instead of plying their usual
trade; if no American life has been
lost it is due entirely to chance.
1t Is also generally conceded that
on the basis of preliminary reports,
the torpedoing without warning of the
passenger liner California with an
American on board makes out q clear
cut case of technical violation of the
rights of the United States.
VIII Move on Complete Evidence.
President Wilson, however Is repre-
sented as determined not to plunge
the country into war on technical
ity When he moves it will be on
complete evidence of an outrage about
which there can be no question. Then
he expects to have the American peo-
pie and congress behind him.

the killing of an American negro sail
