Won HINTzE GETS PLACE
Succeeds Won KuehImann as
German Foreign Secretary.
Considered Most Notorious Master of
Intrigue in German Diplomatic
Service.

London, July 11.-Resignation of
Foreign Minister Kuehlmann, finally
confirmed, is interpreted as a pan
German victory.
This view is strengthened by the
report that Admiral Won Hintze will
succeed Mr.. Kuehlmann as he not
only is close to the kaiser, but is a
friend and supporter of Admiral voa
Tirpitz and Admiral Schroeder, lead
ers of the Belgian annexationists.
However, it is considered here that
a pan-German foreign minister is not
so dangerous to the Allies as one of
the kuehlmann type, who masked Ger
many's plan of conquest under con
tinual tricky peace offensives, giving
Allied pacifists debating material
London newspapers devote consider
able space to discussion of Won
Hintze's history. He is generally char.
acterized as the most notorious macter
of intrigue in the German diplomatic
service.

The Bolsheviki are being driven

to the elimination of the Bolsheviki in
a short time.
The question of Intervention, how.

MANY PAPERS FACE INQUIRY
Government Said to Have Evidence
Against Pro-German Publications.

Against Pro-German Publications.
New York, July 1.-THE department
of Justice Ii Is said, has complete eyi
dence against many publications
which before the entrance OF the Unit
ed States into the war were violently
pro-German. These papers, according
to a high federal official, when they
saw the futility of continuing the Ted.
tonic policy after the outbreak of the
war, suddenly became very patriotic.
This was revealed in connection with
the arrest of DR.. e. A. Rumeiy, princi-
pal owner of the New York Evening
Mail, which, 1t is charged, was flnanc-
ed by German government funds.
When the armistice is declared. and
the imperial German government
which has supplied them with cash, is
smashed and broken, begging for
peace from the victorious Allies the
federal authorities believe the publi-
cations will show themselves in their
true colors.

Further extension of the battle to
the eastward will involve Serbian
troops. The Italians appear to be
pushing forward at great speed.
The Italian command, it is known,

lion soldiers in Albania under General
Ameglio, the veteran of the Turco-
Italian war.
More than 1900 prisoners and a
great quantity of material have been
captured

between the western slopes Of the
ridge and the Adriatic, and getting
around into the Austrian rear, de-
stroyed bridges over the Semini river
to the north.
The Italian infantry captured the
town of Fieri and took important
heikhts. More than 1900 prisoners
were taken in the advance.
