Germany's New Foreign Secretary
Opponent OF U-boat Reign.

Amsterdam. Aug. Tn a character
sketch Of DIR. Richard Won Kuehlmanrl,
Gust appointed German secretary for
foreign ,affairs) the Nieuwe Courant
OF The Hague says that DR.. Won
Kuehlman has always been a vigorous
opponent of ruthless submarine war
fare. He is also. says the newspaper,
a disciple of the policy of doing every
thing possible to avoid the further
alienation of Great Britain. believing
that after-the-war friendship be-
tween Great Britain and Germany is
necessary to the latter.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the Nieuwe
Courant adds, is an anti-annexationist
and the newspaper expresses the
opinion that in the foreign secretary
ship he will do his utmost to bring
about an understanding with England
at the earliest possible moment.

DIR. HeIfferich Wants Hand in

Copenhagen, Aug~5.-WiH Dr. Won
Kuehlmann or DR.. Karl Helfferich,
vice chancellor, be the real director of
foreign policy under the administra-
ton of DIR. Michaelis, the imperial
German chancellor?
This is the political problem of the
hour in connection with the shakeup
of cabinets in Germany.
1t is known the versatile DIR. Helf-
ferich desires to have hand in steer
ing Germany's new course in world
politics after the war and it is rumored
that the new chancellor, unacQuainted
as he is with international affairs, de-
sires to retain the ex-barlk director
{Dr. Helfferich) as his special ad-
wiser and mouthpiece, particularly for
this field.
New Chancellor Not Timid.
In fact one of the avowed reasons
for DIR. Helfferich's retention, despite
his present unpopularity in the reichs-
tag was that his views are indispensa-
BILE in peace negotiations. The Berlin
Tageblatt, the Lokal Anzeiger. and the

possibility of a conflict as DR.. Won

the Centrist program, that party is
considered to have done very well as a

wedge into the government. proved a
dismal failure. Macmillan Harden
earned Zimmermann's undying enmity
by describing him as type of good
consul general but no statesman On
the day that zimmerman was ap-
pointed, Harden called me on the tel
ephone and remarked that he feared
Zimmerman would do foolish
things" Events proved the accuracy
of Harden's judgment. Theodor
Wolf. Professor De1bruecke and other
noted liberal leaders declared to me
they had talked with hundreds of per-
sons in all walks of life and not one
approved or upheld Zimmermann's
idea to- give portions of the United
States to another country, even if it
were possible. One of the highest
members of the general staff charac-
terized the idea as 'idiotic'' and de-
clared that the Mexican affair was
the catastrophe" with America.
There was general agreement in
Berlin that Zimmermann's action
should have Immediately been dis
avowed by the government and the
foreign secretary dismissed within
| twenty-four hours. Failure to do this
and the keeping him in office was
one Of the contributory factors that
iedste the fall of Bethmann-H ollweg.
~ Gout Hurt Zimmerman.
Personally most agreeable and de-
lightfully frank, Zimmerman was
easily aroused and when his govt was
particularly troublesome, he was in
clined to blow up" When the sec
ond Lusitanfa note came and I asked
him what the government proposed to
do, he became so red in the face that
1 feared he would have apoplexy. He
pounded on the table till everything
on it jumped off onto the floor and
said things most undiplomatic. AL
most Immediately he apologized and
asked that remember his govt and to
forget what he had said.
He had a disposition to play strong
MARKHAM manners Politically he
leaned toward the Liberals with a
strong pan-German coloring.
That while Germany will continue
to stick it out" believing that by
steady nerves and firm attitude 1t
can best serve the cause of peace, the
new foreign secretary will begin his
s'feeling OUT there is little doubt.
Parties Won't Compromise.
1t is significant that Doctor SPAIN
is the only member of the reichstag
to go into the Prussian ministry and
that no reichstag members went into
the imperial cabinet. This would seem
to indicate that the Liberals. Demo-
Gratis and Socialists are not disposed
to compromise and other developments
NAV be looked for. SPAIN is the lead
er of the conservative wing of the
Catholic Centrist party. The demo-
cratic wing of that party is led by
Matthias Erzberger, who would like to
be the Lloyd George of Germany. He
it was who made the thrust which up
set both the Prussian ministry and
fine imperial cabinet and resulted in
the unseating of Bethmann- Hollweg.
