TOWARD VIENNA
New German Chancellor
Said to Favor Austri-
an Peace Ideas

Bernc. NOV. 4-The appointment Of
Count Won Hertls nd as imperial Ger
man hancelior. is looked upon here Is
revision in the political life of Ger
many. In high official quarters the APP
pointment is sa id TO shift the center of

The choice of Count Won Hertling
everywhere here is hailed as victory
FOR rliamentaTism but it is little
known that Emperor William and not
von Hcrtlinc took the initiative in the
preliminary consultations. Emperor
William told Won Hertling he could
have the CHARACTERISTIC on condition
that he showed that the majority in
the T,eichstag was behind him. it is
said. He added that he was unalter-
shly opposed. to anyone who like Dr.
Michacii, the retiring chance'lor. was

groups AID who would likely be oblig-
cd 10 resign soon.
Thcrcupon It is said Won Hcrtling
saw the party leaders. and gained the
assurance first Of the support of the
CentriEts, whose particular head No
had been and then swung round to the
position of benevolent neutrality of the
Liberals, National Liberals and Social
lists. whose opposition had been nota :
bly, diminishing. He thus was left with
only tho Conservatives against him.
The appointment Of Count Won Hert-
ling is considered the more remarkable
as the military party of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburs and Gen. Won Luden-
dorff first quarter master general, were
not consulted. whereas they were spOn-
sors for DR.. Michaels.
On the other hand. while Emperor!
William and the Conservatives are
known to have been satisfied with DR..
Mcihaelis. the Emperor none the less
had made up his mind not to risk a
Chancel.Orship crisis in A few weeks
and took recourse in the nearest APP
proach to parliamentarism Germany
