months were required. however. TO
show that the temper of the Germsn
naval ministry had undergone no es-
sential change.
Close Friend of Tirpitz
Won Capelle was close friend of
Won NrpltZ and previous to receiv-
ing the portfolio of Minister OF Ma

minlstratlon department of the Ad-

The projected resignation of Won

with Won Holtzendorf's passing.
Retirement Urged Before
During his term as head Of the Ger

has had an even stormier time than
most functionarles of the imperial
German regime. The first call for his
resignation was sounded when it was
learned that the battle Of Jutland had
not been the overwhelming Teutonic
triumph the naval dispatches had first
made It out 10 be. Won Holtzendorff s
appointment, however, saved the situa-
ton on this occasion.
Subsequently the demand for Won
Capelle's withdrawal was several
times renewed by the more recalci-
trant factions. the most serious press

the short-lived mutiny Of German
sailors last October. Won Capelle &C
