BERNIE Oct. 25-Thc resi- gnatiOn OF Chancellor MI
chaeis and other changes in IT, various Imperial Depart
ments of Germany have not been unexpected ChanceI-
Or Michaeis has been losing for two months When ne
was named Chancellor to succeed Bethmann-HOIweg
was believed that the change in the administration was
only for the purpose OF establishing stronger military
power The first disappointment caused by MlchaeS was
when he gave his maiden speech before the Rechstag re-
garding peace His speech was absolute disappOnt-
ment Michaelis rambled and said nothing Socialists
then started trouble camorng for terms upon which there
might he a possible peace and the Rechstag was then
thrown into turmoil and has been in one continuous
round Of trouble since.
On October 18th one Socialist newspaper in Berlin
stated that the Socialists had decided to vote against the
new war credit of ten billion marks unless MichaellS re-
signed This credit is to be submitted to the RelchStag III
December Since that date the Socialists have made re-
heated demands that MChaCls resign and have starred
various economic and political disputes which have threat
ened a general upheayal in the German government.
One Berlin newspaper, military organ, also the
Hamburg Fremdenblatt last week announced that there
was discernibe indication that certain forces were work
on the belief that military dictatorship would come and
that Mchaes would be the dictator. Two Socialist Or
oans at once replied that if the Imperial German govern
ment desired funds for the continuance Of the Mi
chaelis would have to resign before December
From information reaching here during the past
week the political situation was becoming near Crisis ana
the Kaiser had been summoned to return to Berlin from
the German army headquarters.
When the Reichstag adjourned on October 18TH leay-
mo behind anything but favorable impression Of the
work accomplished observers then believed that the stu
alton would sooner OF later lead to the forced retirement
of Mchaes It was stated by those high in authority that
the Chancellor could not last another month.
Todays developments have borne out all SOcialistc
forecasts
