LONDON. July 11.--The fall of For
eign Secretary Won Kuehlmann was
arranged by German army headQuar-
ter and Is regarded In Germany as the
introduction Of an open pan-German
regime under the control of the mill
tary leaders, special dispatches from
Holland say. 1t Is described as the
biggest OF series of pan-German vic
tories and the pan-German newspapers
do not disguise their delight over it.
Reports OF the appointment of Ad-
miral Won Hintze as foreign secretary,
are accepted as final by the pan-Ger-
man papers, which contend that this
involves no change In policy. This
contention, however, as well as the
assurance that Won HintZe is not a
pan-German, is false, according to the
correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph.
Won Hintze is described by him as a
swashbuckler, and an intimate and
creaure of Admiral Won Tirpitz, the
pan-German leaedr.
Much excitement was caused in the
corridors Of the Reichstag Tuesday by
q rumor that Won Hintze had been ap-
pointed foreign secretary. After the
socialists had Informed the president
they were not prepared to vote the
war credit until they knew what for
eign policy Won Hintze was going to
pursue. II was agreed as way out Of

would result from the majority social
lists Joining the minority group in re-
jecting the war credit, that the full
sitting should be adjourned so hat the
house could 60 into committee for a
confidantial discuSsiOn
The result of this gathering was that
the semi-oficial announcement of Won
Hintze's appointment took tentative
form, saying merely that he had been
named as Won Kuehlmanns success

Relations between Germany and

NOT THE TIME.

AS the Loudoun Times says, we
are at war and every man beyond u
fighting age is needed III the place he
is accustomed to fill and where his
training makes him the most useful.
This is no time for political fights,
fights that become more bitter as
they proceed than those upon the
battle field, and leave behind them
far more wounds ans, far more hurts
than even modern warfare. This is
no time for dissentions among men
and divisions in parties. It is nc
time for personal ambitions to sup
plant patriotism even though patriot
ism today demands of men many
things that are not in entire accord
with their personal wishes and ambi-
tions. This is no time to stir up the
passions of men in political battles
and divert them from the duties that
lie before them. It is a time. how
ever, when there should be as few
unnecessary changes and Interruptions
as possible in he:conducting of both
public and private affairs. 1t is a
time when those already in position
should be given support and not be
weakened by needless opposition. 1t
is time when each man should stick
at his post and not look for another
he likes better.

turned over to the Federal district

The raid was said to have been
made in connection with the arrest

STARVATION IN GERMANY.

While epilepsy and insanity will'fol-
low in the wake Of the starvation That
is slowly strangling Germany, food
rationing is building sturdy and
healthy people in England, France
and America. This is the opinion OF
Professor Hadlicks, noted Russian
scientist, head of the division OF
physical anthropology Of the Smith
scnian institute in Washington, who
is conducting a study Of the effects OF
the world food shortage. "Malnutrl-
ton has SO weakened the resistance Of
the German people," Professor Had
ticks said, "that it may take CEN
tury before the undernourished and
disease-stricken people can be re-
stored to their former soundness OF
health The facts are being hidden
from the world; but alarming reports
by German scientists are known to be
in the hands Of the imperial govern
ment. The continued malnutritlon has
brought widespread gastro-intestinal
disorders and increased infant NOR
tally to an alarming point.
The bulk of the people are exposed
to a complication Of diseases which
will leave their traces Tor genera
tions to come. German newspapers
reaching the outside, world, Professor
Hadlicks said, indicate the German in
ternal condition.
Reading of the Berlin Vossische
Zeitung gives the impression one per-
son of every three in the empire is
suffering from dysentery. An alarm
ing increase in deaths from phthisis
in Berlin is shown by reports of the
Berlin statistical bureau. Pneumonia
deaths also have increased, as have
those from pleurisy.
AS to infant mortality, states the
Vorwaerts the rate is unusually high
this year in Berlin.

ActlOn Dawes EldHt-
iNewburgh, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-An at
tempt to blow up machinery in the
plant of the Nexburg Shipyards COM
pany here was frustrated, but only
after a guard had picked up a bomb
and hurled it out of danger. 1t ex-
ploded and did some damage, but not
not enough to delay work at the
plant.
The bomb was placed under a COM
pressor machine in one of the build
ings by stranger who escaped after
beating the guard, William Hogan,
who discovered him near the machine
and demanded his workman's badge.
The man was bending over and sud-

guard over the head with club.
Hogan was dazed, hut on Receiving
from the blow started his search
which resulted in discovering suspi-
cious looking object under the ma
chine. He hurled it as far as he
could and the bomb exploded when if
struck, tearing up the floor and break

The attempt to damage the machin-
