| Washington, July 14.-Selection OF
camp sites for the national guard has
been completed when Secretary Baker
approved Hattiesburg, Miss, and AL
exandria, La, and announced the
change of the Fayetteville, N. c., site

Will Call First Increment Sunday.
The first increment of the guard
will be called into the service of the
federal government next Sunday, al
though the draft clause of the national
defense act will not be applied to any
of the guardsmen until August 5.
Movement to the camp sites can be-
gin within few days, as supplies suf-
ficient for the men already have been
secured.
The fact that the guard is to be I'M
der training even before drawing for
the selective army begins, indicative
that of the men drawn, the first to see
service will be those assigned to fill
vacancies in the guard or the regulars.
Probably the first men turned into
the army by this process will go to
these two forces and they may be I'M
der orders to join their regiments in

No announcement has been made as
to the course to be followed with guard
already in the federal serv-
ice and which are doing valuable
work in guarding property all over the
country.
There are more than $4,000 guards
men now on the federal pay roll for
this duty Whether they are to be re-
Iieved and sent forward to the camps
Or maintained at their present posts
has not been stated.

Only Way Out of Political Chaos shak-

Amsterdam, July 14.-Out of the pc
man empire to its foundation; Their,
seems but one way out-the resigna
| ton not only of Chancellor Bethmann
Hollweg, but of the entire ministry
Late dispatches from Berlin indicat
ed that this was an immediate prob
ability. The resignation of Bethmann
Hollweg has been announced by the
Vossiche Zeitung. The emperor is
said to be holding his decision in
allegiance.
The one way out is not, however
confined to the mere resignation OF
the present cabinet and acceptance by
the emperor. A supplementary step
of tremendous historic consequence
must be taken to make the escape
from political revolt complete. Only
one man can take 1.-THE Kaiser.
Kaiser and Crown Prince Confer.
And those who know William II
and know the gravity of the crisis,
expect him to take that step. In a
long nocturnal heart to heart talk
with his throne heir, in the Potsdam
palace, whittier the crown prince hur-
ried by special train from the Verdun
front in response to his fathers sum-
mons, the momentous decision was
reached, it is believed.
Close observers here believe it is
the decision of the proud house of
Hohenzollern to bow to the will of the
people and make the first full conces-
sion since Wilhelm's grandfather was
crowned German emperor at Yer
sailles.
Would Be Master Stroke.
By master stroke which will cost
him great deal of his power, EN-
peror William is expected to solve the
situation. When the Reichstag meets
today or tomorrow for its official post
poned plenary resolution, the Kaiser
will make it known, it is predicted,
by an imperial message to the Ger
man people that he leaves to their
the appointment of
successor to Bethmann-Hollweg and
he rest of the cabinet.
Coalition Seen as Way Out.
Thus, and thus only-can the storm
De silenced, 1t is believed here. Po- |
