JUNKERS' VICTORY
London Sees Triumph of Crown

At That, Unrest Is Yet Far
From Revolution Stage.

London, July 16.-The time for an
uprising in Germany. which will
sweep away autocracy is still far dis
tart, according to the views of the
afternoon press today, commenting on
the situation created in Germany's
switch of premiers.
The Pail Mall Gazette's opinion was
typical.
1.-The German crisis" the newspa-
per asserted, has ended, as usual, in
a practical reminder that the kaiser
and the army are the supreme rae
tors in the control of Germany.
Germany will continue her atti-
tude of turbulence. There is an album
dant vague ferment among her popu-
lation, but the desperate agony that
alone begets courage for revolution, is
still far distant"
Third Junker Victory.
This is the third famous junker
victory since the war started" de-
clared the Manchester Guardian. 'sThe
first was the German decision to wage
war: the second was the institution
of unlimited submarine operations.

own judgment to be overthrown by
the crown prince and the junkers

more than merely retard the progress
| of democracy in the empire was one
on which observers differed. The
crown prince and his group now seem
to have triumphed.
George Michaelis is a commoner-
! but he is regarded a typical
Prussian beaucratic. Those who have

clare he may be expected to carry
out faithfully all of the beaucrats'
policies, compromising only when he
| is given permission by his imperial
master.
What Will Scheidemann Say?
The greatest curiosity was manifest
here over what Philip Schefdemann,
! the German majority Socialist. might
have to say over Miehaelis's selection.
/ Scheidemann has been a consistent
supporter of the government. He was
the governments catspaw used on the

peace with Russia at the "Interna-
tional Socialist conference at Stock

pointment to head the constitution
