MAX NOT LONG FOR
JOB OF CHANCELLOR
SAYS DUTCH REPORT

London, Monday, Oct. 14-Dispatch-
es from Holland report there is
probability of another turnover in
the German chancellorship. The
Berlin National Zeitung prints a re-
port Of meeting on Saturday by an
inter-party committee at which dis
cussion turned to the letter Prince
Macmillan wrote to Prince Alexan-
der of Hohenlohe. revealing mark
eddy different attitude in political
affairs from that proposed IN his re-
cent address before the Reichstag.
Rotterdam reports to the Telegram
say that Prince Max's resignation
is probable and that his probable
successor will be DR.. w. S. Solf. the
new foreign minister. or Philip
Scheidemann, secretary Of state with
out portfolio. The correspondent at
tributes this development to the
which he says the Kaiser wished to
announce two months ago but was
dissuaded by the Empress and 9TH
ers. The dispatch reiterates the story
that Emperor William is suffering
from a mental depression which is
causing his friends anxiety.
The letter from Prince Macmillan
to Prince Alexander of Hohenlohe.
written on January II, was an ex-
PLANTATION of an address made by
Prince Macmillan in the Chamber
of Deputies ut Baden. This address
was known as the Sermon on the
Mont" The letter showed that Max
milan was reactionary in his polit-
ical attitude and that he was at that
time firm supporter of the German
roval family and the pan-Germans.
