WASHINGTON, July 16. =
Kaiser Wilhelm has stakej his all
ON blood and iron aft.e Eearken-
ing to his military men.
That is how International ex-
perts here today sized up the Ger
man situation, with - Imam
HollweG out and the bgreaucrat
Michaelis chancellor.
The military men have told the
kaiser, according to Information
here, that Germany's mill airy ma
chine can win the war and he need
not heed the growing camor of
those who want peace without an
nexations or indemnit,es.
Resignation of Hollweg. the
man who could stradaIe between
the all-war junkers and the more
peaceful social democrats and CEN
ter party. indicates clearly to ex-
perts here that from now on there
will be no compromising.
AS authorities see 1t, linden
burg and Ludendorff are to have
carte blanche-and deliver the
goods or take the consequences.
The kaiser's program will be to
still the murmurings of his people
by preaching the doctrines of his
military men and claiming that
German arms will be victorious If
the nation only hangs on.
Michaelis faces q delicate situa-
ton. There is the peace resolut-
ton supported by the reichstag
majority parties which will deter
mine at the outset if he is to take
his orders from the militarists or
accept the reichstag's will.
Out of this situation, experts
here expect the next great deed in
the German internal crisis.

As yet DR.. Michaelis, the new
chancellor, has made no statement
Of his policies. His position is
unknown. But expressions from
German newspapers received here
today generally are to the effect
that tn new chancellor must ac-
cept the reichstag maiority's will.
This is in spite of the interpre-
tation of neutrals that the unhors-

a victory for the crown prince and
Won Hindenburg is pressing their
relentless war program.

the conditions.
These called for the enunciation as a
fundamental principle Of foreign pol
ICY Of openly pursuing the aim OF
reaching as soon as possible general
peace without annexation or indemnity.
The provisional government was un-
able to agree to such principle because
it did not consider possible any re-
nunciation of the principles set forth
in it's proclamation OF April 9. The
provisional government further thinks
it necessary to confirm the unity Of all
the allied fronts and insists on an
energetic struggle against anarchy.
To the financial and economic re-
forms mentioned by the delegates tho
government raises no objections, re-
garding it a part of its task to realize
such reforms. The executive commit

Sault ste. Marie, Mich, May 16-
Six men were killed and several others
seriously injured In an explosion this
morning at the end Of the Fort Brady
pier. Most OF the victims were laborers.
1t is believed dynamite stored under
the dock exploded. Soldiers were or
dered to patrol the area swept by the

A fire In the quartermasters build

Fment has been made regarding the
cause.
one OF the men killed was George
Cook, member OF the United States
coast guard cutter Mackinac crew. The
Mackinac was some distance from her
moorings when the explosion occurred.
This fact probably saved her from de-
struction.
Army officers attempting to compile
a death list said It was probable one
or more persons were blown to pieces.
Other bodies may have been blown in
the st. Marie river. No trace has been
found Of several persons on the dock at
the time OF the explosion.
