Hertlings Success
Depends on Support
Of Reichstag Majority

COPENHAGEN. Nov. 4.-Satistac-
ton Of the liberal elements OF the
German population and press with the
new administration in Germany seems
mixed and half way. II is based rather
upon the assumption that Count Won
Hertling, the Imperial Chancellor, -
entering Office as the representative Of
the majority Of Parliament than upon
Won Hertling's personality, and he evil
IDENTIFY will last only as long as ne con-
duets his administration SIS the repre-
sentative OF the majority party.
As far as the indications. gathered
from the German newspapers, or the
Developments OF the last week are con-
cerned. this assumption seems, for the
present at least, justified. Count Won
Hertling, notwithstanding his age and
previous record, has shown pliability
and elasticity toward the demands Or
the majority party, which were scarcely
expected. and the success OF the Won
Hertling era will depend largely on the
ability of the Reichstag majority to
hold together and agree upon a policy
which Won Hertli-g will be wiling and
able TO represent.
The pan-German movement has an
swered the appointment Of Won Hert-
ling with a straight declaration OF war,
based on his known and suspected at
titude on peace terms and the belief
that he is inclined to make peace on a
basis which will permit later rap
prochement with the western powers.
Count Won Hertiing's views on Bel
GUM, however, at least as late as ms
programme speech before the Bavarlan
Diet October %, were not those which
the Entente powers and the United
States are considered likely to accept.
They were phrased wholly in words
that a settlement of the Belgian prob
lem probably would be obtainable un-
der an "offer 70 guarantee that this
land in the future be no longer the
object or the means OF hostile IN
trigues," meaning that Belgium's ante
bellum policy must be altered IN favor
of Germany. presumably by some
checks inconsistent with its full irde-
pendence.
A decision on the appointment Of
subordinate ministers IN Germany will
not be taken until the return OF Count
Won Hertling from trip to Munich,
where he has gone to turn over the
affairs Of Bavarian Premier TO his sue
cessor. according to some OF the Berlin
papers.
The "Vorwaerts," the Socialist organ,
insists that he must appoint several
radical members OF Parliament TO avoid
the impression that the new admins
tration will base its policy on the Cen
trum and National Liberal bloc. all the
present parliamentary ministers having
been drawn from those two parties

Burden of Overcoming the
Submarine Rests on
Shipbuilders Here
Increased Effort
Is Sea Lords Aim
America Must Build at the
Rate of 5000, 900 Tons
a Year
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Nov. Sir Eric Ged-
des's comprehensive and businesslike
statement on the naval situation in the
Commons yesterday has met with lit
orally nationwide approval. II was
probably the most successful maiden
speech ever delivered in Parliament.
Yet IL is likely to prove dangerous
If taken in the United States to mean
that the submarine menace has been
successfully cOmbated and that, there
fore, the need for increased efforts
toward building ships is removed.
Adroit in Statistics
Geddes made particularly adroit
use of his submarine statistics 10 sub
stantiate the old Admiralty argument
against the publication Of precise fig
ures of British tonnage losses, but
from what he did say and utterances
on the subject by LLOYD George tn,
following facts can logically and at
the same time accurately be deducod
Before the end Of the year Britain
alone will have lost about 500 big ships,
that is, those over 1000 tons, and
averaging about 1000 tons.
This conclusion can be arrived at in
NUMBER OF ways. ferhapS the clear
est is TO take Lloyd Georges declara-
ton that the average monthly losses
Of big ships is less than 100000 tons,
this net loss not taking into account
ships replaced by building, purchase or
seizure.
When the Premier says "less than
100000" he obviously means "more than
200, 000"-therefore, taking 100000 "a
the lowest possible monthly average,
and considering the average ship as of
1000 tons, IL will be seen that the loss
amounts TO 30 ships a month, or 600
a year.
The 500 ships Britain alone lost
would be sufficient TO carry all Of Eng
lands wheat imports during the year,
and they probably would be able to
handle imports amounting to 12.000,00
tons yearly. A thousand ships would
be more than sufficient to carry the en-
tire food supply.
Falling Behind in Race
Moreover, England is falling behind
daily in the race to turn out ships as
fast as they are sunk. At present she
is not producing one for every two sent
to the bottom. This logical conclusion
can be drawn from Lloyd Georges dec
laration. Gross losses are between

U.S.. Must Beat U-Boats
Goddess Speech Shows

300, 900 and 400, 1000, while net losses are
between 100000 and 100000 tons. In
other words. more than 80 per cent Of
Brltain's tonnage are net losses.
Besides these net losses in big ships
there is the question of little ones,
which, while they DO not begin to ap-
proach the total tonnage OF the large
vessels sunk, still average perhaps half
& million tons a month.
There were as many submarines
sunk during the last quarter" Sir
Eric Geddes said, "as in the whole of
record, especially when it is considered
that this means from 40 TO so per cent
OF all raidng U-boats operating in the
North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean since
the beginning Of the war have been
sunk. This statement is quite as op
timistic as the Premier's recent dec
laration, that as many submarines were
sunk in the ten months of this year as
from the beginning of the war until
January, 1917. Yet these statements
must not be taken in too rosy light,
when it is considered that. despite this
success, October sinkings were worse
than September's, and also that-ac-
cording TO an equally authoritative
statement from an Admiralty source
the British navy has not yet bagged
its hundredth submarine.
A prominent American arriving from
New York to-day says this opinion still
exists: "The submarines are pretty
we'll in hand" To such persons IS
hold this view, which is not only err
roneous, but dangerous, the Geddes
speech might appear to be a confrma-
ton of their belief. 1t isn't; it is a
plain statement of the truth of the
case, which, if Investigated, will show
that the menace still exists. This men
ace won't be checked; that is, the
world will not have caught up with
the submarine and be producing ships
in tonnage equivalent to that sunk, un-
til the United States produces at the
rate Of 100000 tons a year.

Provisional Government Is
Not To Be Hampered by
Obstructionists
Peace Aims Stated
Democratic Newspaper Has
No Desire for Premature
End of War
fstaf Corsspondencel

PETROGRAD, Nov. (Delayed).-
The first voting of the new Provisional
Council establishes clearly that the So
cialists have failed TO gain the upper
hand. The Socialists went into to-day S
session with every assurance OF
strong majority, and their failure TO
present the expected strength can only
mean that the Provisional Government
in the future will not be harassed by a
Socialist majority.
To-day's session also brought out a
firm determination on the part OF the
Provisional Council to work for DEM
ocratic peace that will keep intact the
fruits Of the revolution. Russia stands
for peace, but not for premature peace
that will destroy all that has been done
TO free the country from the sores OF
the old regime.
The first day Of voting on motions in
the Provisional Council gave rather
definite idea OF the proportionate
strength of the parties. Five motions
Of closure were presented, of which the
most extreme was the international
lists. The motion of the right wing was
represented by bloc of Cadets, Zemst-
vos, Cossacks and Cooperative Social
lists. The Cadet motion was passed in
the first voting, 1O2 to 95, but on re-
balloting it was rejected, 1879 to 1856
However, this proved very little, as the
humber of members of the Provisional
Council exceeds five hundred and there
were q grea. number of absentees. II
is none the less clear that the forces
are evenly divided and that there is
not to be a large Socialist majority, az

Appointment Thought 10
Be a Victory for Par
liamentarism
Choice Is Regarded
AS Revolutionary
Kaiser Feared to Risk An
other CHARACTERISTIC
Crisis

BERNE, Nov. 4.-The appointment OF
Count Won Hertling as Imperial Ger
man Chancellor is ooked upon here
as revolution IN the political Ire OF
Germany. In high official quarters the
anpointment is said to shift the centre
Of the peace fight away from the Prus-
sian military circles toward Muhlch
and Vienna. and consequently it is con-
sidered tremendously significant FOR
the rest of the world.
A majority Of the South German and
Austrian newspapers reflect the gen.
eral standpoint of the republican Ger
mans of Switzerland, who undis-
guisedly are happy over the appoint
ment of Won Hertling, which they re-
gard not as a Bavarian victory over the
Prussians, but as a farreaching good
omen for a peace understanding.
Count Won Hertling Is expected by
them. through his close Austrian con-
nections, to be able to strengthen the
peace ideas of Count CZernIn Won
Chudenitz, the Austro-Hungarian For
eign Minister, in the German council,
instead Of discarding them, as another
Chancellor might.
Kaiser Took Initiative
The choice of Count Won Hertling Is
hailed everywhere here as a victory for
parliamentarism but il is little known
that Emperor William, and not Won
Hertling, took the initiative in the
parliamentary consultations. Emperor
William told Won Hertling he could have
the CHARACTERISTIC on condition that he
showed that the majority in the
Reichstag was behind him, it is said.
He added that he was unalterably OPP
posed to any one who, like DR..
Michaelis, the retiring Chancellor, was
merely pawn for one or the other
group and who would likely be obliged
to resign soon.
Thereupon, it is said, Won Hertling
saw the party leaders, and gained the
assurance first of the support Of the
Centrsts. whose particular head he had
been, and then swung around TO the
position of benevolent neutrality of the
Liberals, National Liberals and Social

The case of G. M. Johnson against

and had undertaken various duties of
the farm, and the pay for which he
sued. This was the last jury case,
and on its completion the entire
