The New German Chancellor.

Anno;n+ment of Count Won
Hertling as imperial German
chancellor is looked upon mere
as a revolution in the political
life of Germany. In high official
quarters the appointment is sa1o
to shift the center of the peace
fight away from the Prusslan
circles toward Munich and Vi
emma. and consequently it is con-
s;dered tremendously significant
for the rest Of the world.
Count Won Hertling is expect
ed by them through his close
Austrian connections to be aDle
to enhance the peace ideas OF
Count Czernon Won Chuden1tz,
the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister, in the German coun-
Gil.
The appointment of Count Won
Hertling is considered the most
remarkable as the military par
tv or Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg and General Won Lu-
dendorff, were not consulted
whereas they were sponsors 1or
DR.. Michael1s.
On the other hand, while En-
peror William and the conserv-
atives are known to have been
satisfied with DR.. Michaells, the
emperor none the less had made
up his mind not to risk a chan
cellorship crisis in few weeks
and took resource in the nearest
approach to parliamentarisn
Germany ever has known. DR.
Karl Helfferich probably will
be replaced by Herr Friedberg
national Liberal leader, or Herr
Won Payer, Progressive.
