Armed horsemen also were operating in that county, promising death to men of draft age who answered the call for exemp- ton for soldiers.

 The position of Dr. Alfred Zimmer- mann. vice chancellor and foreign secre- tary, Is described also as shaky, the Mex ican affair having undermined the confT- dence of the Reichstag and of his pro- gressive sponsors in his qualifications for the post of chancellor.

 The movement has shown such strenth that there was much speculation when the news of the chancellor's trip to head quarters become known Friday whether he would return as chancellor or as pri- vate individual.
