imperial chanceiIor--Holl-

London-Kaiser Wilhelm has ao
copied the resignation of his imperial
chancellor, Theobald Won Bethmann'
Hollweg and has appointed DIR. George
Michaelis, under secretary of finance
for Prussia and privy counsellor, In
his place.
An official German wireless dispatch
with the information was announced
by the British admiralty here.
No further details were given. I'm
doubtedly, however. the whole Holl-
veg cabinet has fallen.
Chancellor Hollweg, in company
with other members of the Prussian
ministry, submitted his resignation to
the kaiser several days ago.
Dr. George Michaelis has been un-
der secretary of state for finance and
is one of the empires private counsel.
He has not figured extensively in re-
cent political discussions in Berlin.
The announcement was made here
by the admiralty which intercepted
this message from Berlin:
"Bethmann-H ollweg has resigned.
DR.. Michaelis, Prussian finance under
secretary, has been appointed chan
cellor."

friends back in the days when the kali

tended the University Of Bonn.
Through all the years since then Holl-
veg has served his royal friend faith
fully.
Germany's censorship has concealed
the full story of the political strife
which has now eliminated in the
downfall of toe empires most astute
and most powerful politician and
statesman. The reformers who pre-
cipitated the crisis originally marked
Hollweg for destruction purely be-
cause of his individual refusal to &C
quiesce in their demands for wide
electoral reforms and for a pledge that
Germany's peace aims do not contem
plate annexations.
