tary. , Should this report be confirmed
it would mean the return of the ar
istocratic traditions of the German
'service.
Count Brockdorff-Rantzau is
'"born," in the German sense of the
word, and highly connected at court
through his twin brother, who holds
a high court position, and through
his mother, Countess Brockdorff
Kantzau, mistress of the robes to the
empress and one of the most master
ful and dominant personages in court
life.-''.,: - .
The new foreign secretary has a
superficial reputation for being some
thing of a sluggard and a late riser,
with small taste for society. But,
beneath, he is a man of firm, strong
hand,, with considerable energy for
execution. He is about the only
German diplomat who has won the
approval of the amateur diplomatic
courtiers of Germany for keeping
the diplomatic house in order ana
checking infractions of what Ger
mans regard as the neutral attitude
of the foreign press. He is a cousin
of Count von Bcrnstorff and unmar
ried. Michaelis Policy in Doubt.
Copenhagen, July IS. Germany's
first commoner . chancellor, Dr.
i George Michaelis, a bureaucrat with
out even a noble "von" before his
name, has as yet given no indication
of his policy regarding reform and
peace. 1 '
Neither the conservatives nor the
liberals have ventured to call him
their 'own. -. -;4vv" ,jit
Thi , chancellor's first step, , whicli
might be interpreted as an indication
of an open, mind, was to receive rep
resentatives of the two divergent
' groups in the Reichstag and permit
them to explain their respective stand
points, the chancellor playing the role
of listener to the conversations con
ducted by the vice chancellor, Dr.
Karl -Helfferich, and the Reichstag
representatives.
The German paper unite In char
acterizations of his energy and fair
mindedness, but are most reserved in
their predictions of his " probable
policy. The papers aligned lor the
so-called German peace are perhaps
a shade more enthusiastic about the
political possibilities under the new
regime than the radical and socialist
organs. .
The Cologne Volks Zcitune. the
Catholic organ of pan-German sym
pathies, says Ut. Michaelis tmdoubt
i-d!y 6tands nearer the right than the
left narties.
The line of the comment evidently
emanating from Wilhelmstrasse is
that the new chancellor regards as his
mission the restoration of the internal
harmony of the ration, whatever
policy may be adopted.
No matter what else may result, the
change whi undoubtedly mean the
ilisappearance of the von Betnmann
Hollweg peace program.

f -M l
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg's policy
regarding the ultimate aims of the war
had from the beginning been a per
sonal one, in "which the chancellor
above the parties" had formed a pro
trrain above parliamentary parties, the
military authorities and the emperor
alike, and he endeavored by gentle,
steady pressure and suggestion to im
pose it upon a changctul sovereign
oscillating between vistas of brilliant
ayibition and realization of cold facts;
upon the puissant military caste repre
sented by Field Marshal von Hinden-
burg and oenerai juudendorn, and a
blundering, unbrilltant parliament
The appointment of Dr. Michaelis
undoubtedly means a new deal of the
cards. Berlin papers which were pub
lished before the appointment of Dr,
Michaelis was known, throw further
light on the circumstances of Dr. von
Rehtmann-HollwegV retirement. To
show that the emperor was confronted
, by the necessity ot dropping the im

which, including the war minister,

New York, July 16. -Although the
United States circuit court of appeals
some weeks since rendered a.i opin
ion granting on every point sub
mitted the injunction sought by the
Associated Press to restrain the Inter
national News Service from pirating
news belonging to the forme; 'organ

been postponed by the attempts of
the defendant organization through
its counsel, bamuel Untermyer, to
obtain a stay, first, from the circuit
court, of appeals;, second, from the
district court, and, third, from a jus
tice of the supreme court ot the
United States. .
Order is Entered.
All three requests having been re
fused, the order has been entered by
direction of Judge Augustus N. Hand,
of the United States district court of
the southern district of New York

Service from three practices:

them, or any such members, to com

defendant to take or appropriate, for
consideration or otherwise, any news
received from or gathered for com
plainant, and from purchasing, receiv

news so obtained.

by the complainant or any, of its mem
bers, or from editions of newspapers
published by any of complainants
members, until its commercial value
as news to the complainant and all of
its members has passed away."
Although the court found the Asso
ciated Press was' not guilty of an"
such forms of piracy, it having vol

counter injunction also issue in that

Organization in Fifteen States
Yet Incomplete and Thou
sand Districts Have Not
Reported.
Washington, July 16. On the basis
of advices today from various states
where the organization work of the
exemption boards has not been com
pleted War department officials said
the drawing for the army selective
conscription hardly could be held be
fore Saturday at the earliest.
Fifteen states have not reported the
completion of their exemption board
organization. The process followed
by the boards is to file two copies of
their completed and numbered lists
of registrants as soon as the serial
numbers have been arranged. One
copy is mailed to the provost marshal
general in Washington and the other
to the governor of the state. Less
than 1,000 of the 4.5S9 districts
are still to be heard from in Washing
ton and probably only a few hundred
have noit reported as yet to the gov
ernors. In California, for instance, the gov
ernor would receive his copy from
any exemption board four or five days
before the mail would bring to Wash
ington a copy of the provost marshal
general. The governor would report
tovthe provost marshal general only
when every district in his tate had
been heard from.
