ImpcriaI Chancellor Resigns.

BERNE. July 12.-The Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin says the German
imperial chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, has resigned. Emp
eror william. the newspaper adds.
has postponed his decision whether
to accept the chancellor's resignation.
A telegram from Berlin today says
that It was the intervention of the
crown prince that carried the chan
cellor to tender his resignation.
An official com munication issued
in Berlin yesterday says Emperor
William expressed the opinion that
the political and constitutional ie-
forms demanded by the reichstag are
such that they concern not merely
himself but his successor inasmuch
as they would be permanent. For
this reason the emperor summoned the
crown prince to attend one or more
crown councils at which final decisions
regarding the extent to which the
crown and the government will make
concessions to the relchstag will be
reached

TULSA LARGEST UNIT
FOR DRAFT IN NATION
Failure to Estimate Tulsa'S
Growth Creates Unwieldly
District Here.

According to the statement of Ad-
jutant General ANGEL carp, the city
of Tulsa is the largest unit for regis
tration in the United States and con-
sequently more men will be drawn
from the city than from any other dis
trict.
The reason for the state OF affairs
is that the government figured Tulsa
as having a population of 10000 and
consequently made one district Of the
whole city. Muskogee. with half
Tulsa's population, Is divided into two
units, while oklahoma City. with a
little more than Tulsa, has three dis
tricts.
Other than giving Tulsa a little
notoriety, the fact Of being the
largest district will have no effect ex-
cert that it makes the work OF the
Tulsa city exemption board heavier
than for any other boards. Tulsa s
population is estimated by the gov
ernment in its latest bulletin at
10000
Despite the unusual amount of
work required by the local board, it
was among the first In the nation to
gets its list of names with new serial
numbers into the national hcadquar-
terS.
