C. Kittel, facing federal charges in
volving their administration of a
bank, both being convicted.
The schedule of liabilities and as
sets is approximately as follows:
Liabilities Assets

Friction Likely Between
DR.. Won Kuehlman and
DR.. Karl Helfferich
BOTH WOULD DIRECT
THE FOREIGN POLICY

cessioRs in Shakeup
lRv Associated Press.l

Copenhagen, Aug. 7.-Whether DR.
Won Kuehlmann or DIR. Kari
Helfferich. vice chancellor, will be
the real director of foreign policy
under the administration of DR.
Michalis the Imperial German chan
cellor, is the problem in connection
with the cabinet shake up in Ger
many.
1t is known that DR.. Helfferich
desires to have a hand in steering
Germany's new course in world
politics after the war, and it is
rumored that the new chancellor un-
acquainted as he is with interna-
tional affairs desires to retain DR..
Helfferich as his special advisor.
One of the avowed reasons for DR..
Helfferich's retentions despite his
present unpopularity in the Reich
stag, was that his services are
indispensable to peace negotiations.
Certain Berlin newspapers refer
to the possibility of conflict as DIR.
Won Kuehlmann, it is understood, is
disinclined to permit himself to be
relegated to a subordinate place.
A second feature of the shake up
is the consideration shown the Cath
olic center party whose demand for
representation in the Imperial and
Pruhsian cabinet for the Roman
Catholic population was recognized
Catholics, SPAIN, s WaldoW and
Kuehlmann. With the revocation of
the anti-Jesuit and Polish expropria-
ton laws also part of the centrist
program, that party is considered to
have done we'll.
While the Radical and Socialist
press is dissatisfied at the absence
of any marked concession to parli-
mentarism in the new cabinet and
at the failure to consult the Reich
stag In any way on the appointment,
newspapers of the opposite camp are
aggrieved at the shelving of DIR.

Herr Zimmerman, ex-foreign
secretary, in an article in one paper
scolds Mr.. Michaelis for jettisoning
those tried and trusty, officials in
favor OF political novices OF uritried

Another paper severely criticizes
the appointment of DIR. Helfferich
and DR.. Won Kuehlmann on the
ground that both favor the reap
proachment of England and not of
Russia as a basis of post bellum
policy. 1t says DR.. Helfferich was
DR.. Won Bethmann HoIlweg's evil
genius in foreign affairs, who first
delayed unrestricted submarine war
fare by getting out statistics and
then discredited it by impossible
predictions.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 4. The
crews Of seven vessels, six of which
were sunk by German submarines
off the Azores islands, were brought
here yesterday by a French steamer
which took them on board at port
Of call on her voyage from Eu-
rope.
The vessels sunk by submarines
were:
Italian bark Doris. 1853 tons;
Canadian schooner Whitening
Gertrude; American fourmasted
schooner John Twohy, 1,019 tons;
Norwegian steamer Ellen, 1877 tons;
Norwegian steamer Hanseat, 1858
tons; Norwegian steamer Horland,
2,472 tons.
The seventh vessel, the British
schooner Conqueror, OF $50 tons. was
abandoned and went down June IL
off Flores after she had sprung a
leak in rough weather. She en-
countered no submarines, according
to her crew.
The sinking of these vessels, ex-
cept the Ellen, Doris, and
Wilhelmina Gertrude had been
previously reported. Captain Lothe
of the Ellen said that his vessel car
ried eleven locomotives OF large size
intended for use on railroads which
American engineers are constructing
behind the battle lines in France.
The procedure of the Germans was
the same in all cases. according to
the crews. The vessels were stop
ped, boarded by the submarine COM
mander and the men ordered to the
life boats. after which mines or
bombs were placed in the ships and
exploded. Then the submarine towed
the life boats a few miles toward
shore and gave them the right direc-
.tion before submerging. 1t required
two days or more In most instances
for the crews TO sail and row 70 St.

has been designated who will re-
ceive information of such cases and
take appeals to the district board
and inform the local board. For this
reason. the public is entitled to know
the grounds upon which claims for
exemption or discharge are being
asked by registered men. Local

ed Immediately to make available TO
the press from day to day the names
Of persons claiming exception or dis

claims are based, and in general the
number of cases that are being dis
posed of by the board from day to
day. This instruction does not ap-
ply Of course to discharges on the
grounds Of physical disqualifica-
ton"
ALL PROCEEDINGS
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
This is taken to mean that all pro-
ceedings of the local boards will be
open to the public, and that any
citizen. who takes exceptions 70 any
exemptions granted for causes other
than physical ability will have a
right to be heard and his protest
must be considered.

discharged and who fail to report for
examination or reporting decline
TO submit to a physical examination
are, according TO instructions receiv-
ed, to be reported on special forms
