SOLF GETS LONDON POST

BERLIN, Aug. 27.-Dr. Haniel Won
Haimhausen, former counsellor of the
German Embassy at Washington. has
been selected for appointment as Ger
man Ambassador to the United States,
according to authoritative information
here.
Dr. w. s. Solf, Secretary for the
Colonies, is the selection for the Am
bassadorship to Great Britain, and Herr
Radowitz, former Under Secretary Of
State, for the Enthusiastically to China.
Fritz August Thlel. former German Con-
sular representative in Japan, has been
picked for the post of Ambassador at
Toxic.
The appointments of the men selected
for Amba ssa dorships, 1t is stated, depend
upon the attitude of the Powers in ques-
ton. If they send Charges d'Affaires to
Berlin. Germany will take like action
as to representation in the capitals of
such Powers.
There is no mention at pre- sent of the
selection of a German Ambassador to
France.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-No inquiry
has been made of the United States
as to whether Haniel Won Haimhausen
will be acceptable as Ambassador, but
there Is every indication that this Gov
eminent will not receive Haimhausen
or any one else formerly connected with
the embassy under the regime of Count
Won Bernstorff.
Almost every one connected with the
German Embassy in Washington in a
responsible position In the days pre-
ceding Americas entrance into the war
Is regarded by the Government as more
or less involved in the intrigues and
plots which stirred the country.
When 1t was proposed to send Count
Bernstorff to Paris at the head of the
German Peace Commission the Ameri-
can delegation let it be known promptly
that while perhaps they had no legal
right to dictate the personnel of the
German commission yet they would have
no communication with Bernstorff and
his appointment would certainly not aid
the Germans in getting the best peace
terms
Hatmhausen's attachment to the. Ger
man Peace Commission in the capacity
of secretary was scarcely less welcome,
but it was tolerated by the American
Commissioners for the reason that his
familiarity with the issues might make
him useful and his connection with the
operations of the German Embassy here
DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen was
named by the German Government as
delegate to the Versailles Peace Confer
ence. but resigned rather than sign the
terms submitted by the Allies.
Before the breach between this coun-
try and the German empire he was Coun-
sellor to the German Embassy at Wash
ington. AS such he was Ambassador
Won Bernstorff's chief aid and was in
charge of affairs when the Ambassador
was absent from Washington.
a, great part of the, prepared ,propa-
ganda of the embassy passed through
his hands, and he has been credited
with much activity along such lines. He
was frequently used by Won Bernstorfi
as unofficial go-between to carry the
ideas of the German staff to the Austro-
Hungarian Embassy. Won Bernstorff Is
said to have placed great faith in him.
He left the United States with the
Ambassadors party.
