The sixty hours spent in freight cars

LONDON, July l4.-The political tur-
moil which has been convulsing Ger
many ever since Russia's first start
ling success on the resumption of her
offensive has eliminated for the pres
ent in the resignation OF the imperial
Chancellor. DR.. Won Bethmann-H oll-
veg. but all indications serve to show
that his resignation, far from being
the last act i'm the drama. is but the
beginning OF fnr-reaching Developments
which are bound to affect the fabric of
the German empire. and have momen-
tous consequences OIL the progress Of
tho European struggle. The resisna-
ton OF the Chancellor came in the
end quite unexpectedly. for DIR. Won
Bethmann-H ollwcg. in the prolonged
party discussions and heated debates
of the main committee of the Reich
stag. which have been proceeding all
through the week, seemed to have
triumphed over his Opponents. who
have been clamorins for his head. by
making concessions which were tam
tamount to the formation OF kind
OF imperial coalition ministry.
At the same time, the Chancellor, by
the declaration that Germany was de-
fensively lighting for the freedom of
her territorial possessions evolved a
formula that seemed satisfactory to
both those who clamorcd for peace by

SITUATION CHANGED WHEN
CROWN PRINCE ENTERS
In all this, DR.. Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg was strongly backed by the En-
peror. The advent of the Crown Prince
upon the scene, summoned by his i'm
perial father to share the delibera-
tions affecting the future OF the dy-
nasty. seems to have changed entire
ly the position with regard to the i'm
perial Chancellor. The Crown Prince
at once took a leading part In the dis
cussions with the party leaders, and
his ancient hostility toward DR.. Won
Bethmann-H ollwcg. coupled with his
notorious dislike for political reform
undoubtedly precipitated the Chancel-
lor's resignation.

British attacks near Lombaertzyde

"A strong fire was begun towards
evening against our now positions on

night near Lombaertzyde broke down
with heavy losses under our defensive

throughout the discussions, and that
section Of the press has been clamor-
ing for Il joint dictatorship by them,

the Emperor has just decrced, or for
the movement toward diminution Of

ward peace, on which the Austrian
Emperor has been doing his utmost
TO persuade the German Emperor to
embark.
EMPEROR CHARLES BACKED
MOST POWERFUL STATE
The Bavarian ministers have been
among the most active in the Berlin
contributions and the fact that the
Centre Catholic party has rallied to
the peace gospel preached by Matthias
ErzberGcr directly on his return from
Vienna. where he saw Emperor Charles,
shows that the Austrian Emperor is
backed in his determination to secure
peace by at least one. and that tho
most powerful Of the states in the
German empire. Whether other south
crn German states will join in what
appears to be movement toward the
remuneration Of Prussian hegemony,
events in no distant future probably
will show.

evils. Secretary Baker wrote. In part:
"ln the training camps already
established. or soon to DO established.
largo bodies of mon, selected primarily
from tho youth of the country. will be
gathered together for period OF in
tensive discipline and training. The
greater proportion of this force will
probably be made up of young men
who have not become accustomed to
contact with either tho saloon or the
prostitute. and who will be Mt that
plastic and generous period OF life
when their service to their country
should be surrounded by safeguards
against temptations to which they are
not accustomed.
RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT
OPEN TO QUESTION
Our responsibility in this matter is
not open to question. We cannot al
low these young men. most Of whom
have been drafted to service, to be
surrounded by a vicious and demoraliz-
ing environment. nor can we leave
anything undone which will protect
them from unhealthy influences and
crude forms of temptation. Not only
havo we an unacceptable responsibility
munitics from which these young men
are selected. but. from the standpoint
of our duty and our determination to
create an efficient army, we are bound,
as IL military necessity. to do every
thing in our power to conserve the
vitality OF the men In the training
camps
II am determined that our new
training camps. as we'll as the sur
rounding zones within an effective
radius. shall not be places of tempta-
ton and peril. We are not going to
be able TO obtain the conditions neces-
sary to the health and vitality OF our
soldiers without the full cooperation
of the local authorities in the cities
and towns near which our camps are
located. or through which our soldiers
will be passing In transit to other

and support Of the local communities.
II the desired end cannot DO otherwise

from those neighborhoods In which
clean conditions cannot be secured"
The attitude OF the War Department
and other governmental agencies gives
assurance that no effort Will be spared
for tho repression OF Vicious condi-
tons through Official action. but Gov
ernor Stuart said there remained a
wide field for the activities of civilian
agencies. since local problems can best

Neville Chamberlain. England
director OF national service. has be-
lui. his spring drive.
Great Britain's army will require
laree drafts OF men during the COM
ing summer, to replace those killed,
wounded. and tired out in the COM
ing Big Push on the western front
Chamberlain believes that these re-
|cruite can only be found in industries
which are essential to war. Fracti-
Ically every Briton Of military age
aud fit, not engaged in an .indis-
pensable occupation has put on, or
been forced into. khaki. The COM
ing levy to repienish the fighting
forces of the empire will call men
employed in industries Of primary
importance.
Substitutes for these men, there
fore. must be found at once.
Not only must their places be
filled, but the tireless director is
planning to extend national service
in many directions. Loyd-George
has said. and all England knows,
that such service, together With rig
id food economy and reciprocal
methods on the high seas, Is vital
factor in the war against the sub
marine blockade. If national ser
vice slackens through failure of the
nations manhood to respond to the
call. the output Of food, clothing,
and all essentials will be seriously
diminished.
''The labor of the country must
be organized, Chamberlain said. in
making his new appeal for half a
million recruits for the land army -
Men must be transferred from the
less essential Industries to those OF
first Importance
''one OF the principles OF national
service is that eEery man should be
