SUMMONED TO BERLIN

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and General Ludendorff were again sum- moned to Berlin. not to interfere, ac- cordng to the unanimous accounts in the Berlin papers, in the political side of the situation, but to sidetrack tho proposed peace resolution by giving encouraging reports of the military situation and to inspire the members of the Reichstag with the belief in the possibility of obtaining that German peace worthy of the sacrifices made, '' to which Won Hindenburg over and over again had committed himself in his published replies to the memorials of pan German organizations.
 Before the selection of pr. Micha eils became known the papers generally agreed that Won Bethmann-Ho Hollweg' $ retirement would be accompa anied by sweeping changes-in the imperial and Prussian administrations. The feeling was general that large part of the secretariss of state and ministers who had been in office since and before the war and had exhausted their ef- ficiency and availability through long continuance at their posts under the tremendous responsibilities of the war should be replaced by fresh hands and brains without any membranes of the past.
 This in the ultimate analysis prob ably was one of the chief considera- tions impelling the Emperor to accept

1 Copenhagen, July 15.-Germany's first commoner chancellor, Dr. Georg Michaelis, a bureaucrat without even q noble Won before his name. has as yet given no indication of his policy re- garding reform and peace. Neither the conservatives nor the liberals have ven- tured to call him their own.
 | The chancellor's first step, which might be interpreted as an indication of an open mind, was to receive repre- sentatives of the two divergent groups in the Reichstag and permit them to explain their respective standpoints, the chancellor playing the role of listener to the conversations conducted by the vice chancellor. Dr. Karl Helf- ferich. and the Reichstag representa- tives The German papers unite in char acterizations of his energy and fair mindedness, but are most reserved in their predictions of his probab,s policy. The papers aligned for the so-called German peace are perhaps shade more enthusiastic about the political possi- bilities under the new regime than the radical and socialist organs.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung, the Catholic organ of pan-German sympa- thies. says Dr. Michaelis undoubtedly stands nearer the right than the left parties. The line of the comment evil dently emanating from Wilhemstrasse is that the new chancellor regards as his mission the restoration of the in- ternal harmony of the nation, what ever policy may be adopted. No matter what else may result. the change will undoubtedly mean the disappearance Of the Won Bethmann peace programme HOLLWEG'S AIMS PERSONAL Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollwegs policy regarding the ultimate aims of the war had from the beginning been a personal one, in which the chancellor above the parties" hsd formed programme above parliamentary parties, the mill tary authorities and the Emperor alike and he endeavored by gentle, steady pressure and suggestion to impose 1t upon a changeful sovereign oscillating between vistas of brilliant ambition and realizations of cold facts upon the puissant military caste represented by Field Marshal Von Rindenburg ana General Ludendorff and a blundering, unbrilliant Parliament.
 The appointment of Dr. Michaelis undoubtedly means a new deal or lhe cards. Berlin papers which were pub lished before the appointment of pr Michaelis was known. throw further light on the circumstances of Won Bethmann- Hollweg's retirement. They show that the Emperor was cQnfronSe ed by the necessity of dropping the imperial chancellor or virtually the entire Prussian cabinet. the members of which, including the war minister, General Won Stein. soldier, not politician submitted their resignations declaring that they could not remain if Won Bethmann- -Hollweg was retained
 The Baravian premier, Count Won Hertling, who favored moderate peace proposals but refused flatly to accept the idea of parliamentary ministry which would diminish Bavaria's spe- cial influence on the government, seems to have thrown himself into the struggle against Won Bethmann at the last minute The Bavarian centrtst members of the Reichstag started an anti-yon Bethmann revolt within the party and the crown prince made~valid his long standing objections to the imperial chancellor.

AN IMITATION OR
THE REAL THING

The Buick reputation, attained
after fourteen seasons Of success
fully stricking to the one great en-
eineering principle "Valve-in-Head-
Motor"-has perhaps made it the
most popular car in America, in its
class.
This is being proven beyond a
doubt each day by attempted emu
lation and imitation on the part of
competitors. Many times do they
say, "This feature is the same as
Buick" This car has just as much
power as Buick - This part is made
in the same factory that makes the
similar Buick part" etc.
If the name Buick implies abso-
Lutte correctness in design; complete
efficiency and accuracy in manufac-
turing methods; in other words, II
Buick involves the one real standard
which so many others are trying to
initiate, then why not, in all fair
less to yourself, buy the REAL |
Thing and not AN IMITATION?
