The pan-German party triumphed
over its opponents and forced the
resignation of Foreign Minister Won
Kuehlmann because of his peace i'm
possible by force" speech, and then
proceeded to pick Admiral Won HintZe,
the trlckiest and most disreputable of
Teuton diplomats, as his successor.
Great excitement In the reichstag re-
suited and the socialists agreed not to
vote the war credit, which could not
be passed without their aid, until The
new minister had announced his pol.
icies. Won Hintze is swashbuckling
milltarlst and the creature of Admiral
Won Tlrpltz. AS minister to China he
disgraced himself, and us minister to
Mexico he deliberately stirred UP a
row between Huerta and Carranzn In
order TO embrOil the United States
The French press accepts the selec-
tiOn Of Won Hintze as evidence that
the mllitarists in Germany are strong
er than the diplomats and are deter
mined upon war TO the finish. They
believe he will do the pan.Germans
much more harm than good.

There were no major operations on
the italian front last week, but the
Italians increasingly harassed the
enemy by raids and sorties and In the
mountain region improved their own
positions considerably. The American
aviators on that front kept up their
excellent work.
On the western front there was an
omin0us silence on tie part Of the
Huns. The usual 40 days needed by
them to organize a NV drive had
nearly expired, but 81 hey did not
start. However, abno actlvity was
observed behind their $, especially
in the regions where e Americans

In preparation for the next big drive
Won Hlndenburg called for million
more men, to be taken from the fac
tories, their places being filed by pris-
oners and foreigners, and, contrary to
agreements, by exchanged prisoners of
war. Recruits of sixteen, seventeen
and eighteen years are being called,
and everything indicates that the su-
preme command Is straining every
nerve to end the war this year. To
encourage the troops there has been
a systematic campaign TO mislead
them as to Americas participation In
the war, The people now refuse to
believe we are taking an active part
In the conflict or that there are more
than n few thousands of our men In

many predictions that the kaiser

his course. But after breaking off

Victory Aim of
Commander

American SeapIane Training Camp,
1taly.-"The watchwords Of this camp
are efficiency, friendship, victory,
remarked the American commander
as he stood on the beach Of the lake
directing the afternoons flying. "The
efficiency is for our boys. the friend
ship for our frinds. the Italians, and
the victory is the destruction Of the
enemy" he explained.
If anything. the work in a training
camp here is apt to be harder than
IN a similar camp at home. In addi-
ton to the usual routing Of flying and
studying. the students must learn
French and Italian or both, to know
the names Of machine parts, tech
meal terms. and to know how to find
their way about.
The aviators have found that they
must know a good manv phrases and
sentences If they would understand
the italian mechanics. motor drivers,
and aviators. So the Americans al
ready have begun studying Italian as
studies. Most Of them know the
meaning Of a long list Of words en-
ployed for taking off. banking, turn
ing, gliding, diving. shaking and
landing.
A good deal Of Italian has been
picked up by the aviators right in
the village where the people are very
friendly and do not laugh at the
weird expressions used by the Amer
leans. whom they have adopted as
their very own. The younger aviators,
whose ears are keener. have the adj
vantage in learning the language and
they find It comes in handy at the
mess tables. The mess of the entire
camp is located in a fine old Middle
Age place. The entire kitchen and
first floor has been turned over to
them, and there they eat surrounded
by frescoed walls and ceilings typical
Of an italy of other days. The mess
Is overseen by a chef formerly with
the Duke d'Abruzzi and the Ameri-
cans are said to be among the best
fed soldiers in Italy-all for SO cents
day.
The aviators repay the chef, Con-
sotino, by teaching him American
slang.
