He VIII Be a Political Hin.

War Party Is Supreme
Kuehlmann Choice of Reichs-
tag, but Not of Kaiser,
Is Belief
By Arthur s. Draper

LONDON, Oct. 2O.-The next Ger
man Chancellor undoubtedly will be
from the Junker party. Lord Robert
Cecil. in an interview with The Trib-
une's correspondent to-day, expressed
this opinion. Recalling to Lord Rob
ert his prediction Of several months
ago that Michaehs was merely stop
gap. I asked him II he considered Won
Kuchlmann the logical successor OF
the present Chancellor.
"Personally. ] do not" he said. i
believe the Junker party Is still su-
preme in Germany and that IN the
change OF Chancellors which now
seems imminent Germany will choose
political Hindenburg or Tirpitz."
Lord Robert is Of the opinion that
Buelow is far more likely candidate
than Kuehlmann. The latter unques-
honably is the choice Of the Reichstag.
but the Blockade Minister explained
that the choosing of "a Chancellor IS
entirely in the Kaiser's hands, and
there Is no reason to believe he will
choose a man solely TO suit the Reichs-
tag. which in itself has no power nor
voice in the matter, except by eXereis-
ing the weapon Of refusing TO vote war
credits, which is practically out OF the
uuestiOn al the present time. go
Lord Robert does not believe with
many authorities here who think the
Worldwide trend toward the Left has
had a great effect on German politics.
lie considers that the military party
is still in full power and that the new
Chancellor will be a strong war man.
81 wouldn't venture TO predict who
will be the next German Chancellor,

Like Russia, Germany is seeking the
man who can lead the country politl-

Socialist Policy Opposite
The Socialist policy on these gues-

COPENHAGEN. Oct. 20.-Represen-
tatives of German industries at large
conference in Berlin on Thursday went
on record against various govern
mental plans for state control OF indus

turn TO the free exercise OF private
initiative in business as quickly as pos
sible.
The conference, which was called by
the War Industry Board, was attended
by representatives of the various de-
partments Of the government con-
cerned. II was resolved unanimously
that imports should be limited only as
far as lack Of tonnage and the state
Of exchange rendered absolutely neces-
sary: that the importation Of raw ma

the customary channels Of trade; that
ships and exchange be placed at the

that restrictions imposed upon home
commerce and industry during the war
be removed, and that none be imposed

markets.
Government Planned Pool
The government has been planning
to. take charge Of all imports, assigning
shipping and foreign exchange for pur-
chases only to such articles as govern

such purchases in order to eliminate

LONDON, Oct 20.-lf the enemy -

The announcement that America IS

ference in Paris is extremely satisfy
ing TO those who realize how big a
part she already has.played, and the
magnitude Of the undertaking still be-
fore her.
American Ideas Wanted
Americas moneyed men will be vel
coined here, but even greater value
will be placed upon the ideas which
advance not only regarding financial
cooperation, but military operations
az well.
The two bits of American news-the
statement issued by the American En-
bassy defining Americas position on
the question of the embargo OF Scan
dnavian countries and Holland, and
the dispatch Of the Washington cor
respondent of the Morning Post
stating that the United States will be
represented in the Allied Conference
and suggesting that possibly America
was not totally satisfied with the AL
lied policy-attracted much attention
II Is hoped that America will continue
the campaign of publicity along the
lines she has started. Reading the
neutral press Giscloses unmlstakably
that America is being held respon-
sible for all hardships and privatlons
the neutrals are suffering.
For future relations nothing but
good can come from the policy OF
showing that the United States doe;
not use high-handed methods and that
the government is perfectly reasonable

we'll aware of this, the people in
neutral nations are unlikely TO obtain
knowledge of Americas attitude un-
less Washington uses the press TO the
fullest advantage. OF equal. if not
greater, Importance, is the effect these
official statements have in enemy coun-
tries. Proof of this is found in the
editorial comment of German news
papers. which constantly refer TO the
american embargo"
The worry it is causing the enemy
is measured by the pains with which
he takes to prove that he is unaffect-
ed. The same applied to the Ameri-
can military preparations. All the
best military writers. such az Major
Moraht and Major Hoffe and Gadke
have written reams about the impos-
sibility Of America giving the Allies
material assistance in the field All
these articles disclose the fact that
the authors are arguing against their
better judgment

Expeditionary Force
Disproves Rumois

Finally, it was said, and is said. that
the United States will not succeed in
transporting her army TO the field of
war. Events have not yet contradlcted
this particular pessimiSm, but that they
will do so | have not the slightest
doubt. The means of transporting the
army are being prepared concurrently
with the army itself, and that army
will duly arrive-unless Germany fall
tiers earlier-and when it arrives 1t will
satisfactorily account for itself.
Self-satisfatcion alone-and the Am
erican people have higher motives than
that-would compel the United States
"to do its damnedest" in this war. The
United States is on its mettle; il has
to prove its quality to Europe, and 1t
will do so.
The speeches of all American lead
ers of opinion show complete grasp
of the moral issues of the war, a com
plete adherence 20 those democratic
principles which strong party in
Britain still refuses to accept, and a
complete determination to achieve the
definite triumph of those principles
And if the general conduct of the ma
ton shows anything. it shows that the
nation and the leaders are in admirable
unity.

Moral Contribution of Greater Value

But. highly as | value the physical
contribution which the United States IS
making and will make TO the war, |
value still more highly the moral con-
tribution which she will make to the
collective common sense OF the bellig-
erents when the peace congress at last
meets. The thought that our states
men now in power will represent the
British commonwealth at the peace con-
gress is humiliating and positively dis

britons, myself among the number. |
will say nothing about Allied coun-
tries. except that ! doubt If they will
display more sagacity in the matter of
peace terms than our own government
is likely 10 show.
The fact is that the suggested Allied
peace terms agreed upon by the Allies,
and untimely revealed 10 the world at
Petrograd in the early part Of This
year, showed that the Allies had
learned little from history, and that
especially they had not learned the
grea. lesson of'lS70. The peace terms
thus disclosed could not possibly have
resulted in a permanent peace. Far
from that. they had in them the seeds

LOCAL REGISTRATION
From Tuesday,s Dailyl

Since 7 o'clock this morning San
Juan basin men between the ages of
u and 81 have been registering for
military service. Previous to that
time 103 non-residents and men who
were going to be away from their
respective precincts on Registration
today, had applied to the county
clerk for registration cards. The
ready response has been most graft
flying and demonstrates the spirit of
patriotism that permeates our section.
Indications are that not one Stacker
will be found in the southwest. AL
though the poles do not close until
o'clock, it is estimated that practic-
ally everyone that comes under the
conscription age will be registered be
fore 7.
Reports from different points in La
Plata county indicate a heavy regis
tration. j. r. Bryce, who was in Du-
rango this afternoon, registered Num-
ber l3 at Sunnyside at $50. This
early registration appears to have
been in keeping with that in other
portions of the basin.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon 18 had
registered at Anlmas City; 80 at
North Durango; is at Naeglein's and
% at the court house.
AT A o'clock, Precinct II had 81
