New Chancellor Refuses To Consult

of MichaeIis.

Copenhagen, Nov. 6.-The new Ger
man c%hancellor's evident intention
to take the reins into his own hands
has brought about a situation that
is Of chief interest in Berlin politics.
The Reichstag, responsible for the
overthrow Of Michaelis, is already
being fuoted by his successor, Won
Hertling.
All indications are that the new
chancellor intends to do as he pleases
about the naming of his cabinet.
The two opposing parties, the Rad

are even this early showing open hos.
tility to the chancellor.
To Have Other Support.
Chancellor Won Hertling evidently
will have behind him, at the start
at least, the united support of all
other parties in the Reichstag.
He will be started on his way
with a formal vote of confidence after
his speech outlining his policy.

writing letters home. Behind the

young men were busy passing out

the men were sending home. One of

the American Y. M. C. A. mas erected
q large building for our soldiers and a
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. G. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed on account Of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
Of the British Y. M. G. A.
A fleet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. G. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
dn which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
Of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any ~discourtesy

portance of this service can be esti.
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half of these sleep in Y.

Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. G.. A. has erected a big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each of
the big draft camps, and huge chautau-

is seeing to it that every man who

teaching the men to sing the popular

keep up their spirits.
