TEUTON PREMIER WILL ANNOUNCE POLICYTHURSDAY v (Continued tfrom Fas Om.) 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. How Hollweg Failed. ADMIRAL VON CAPELLE TO RESIGN Admiral von Cp1U, German Minister of Marine, suc cessor to the infamous von Tirpits, may be forced to resign as a re sult of tne cabinet crisis reported from Berlin. iVf Til 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 pcrial chancellor or virtually the en tire Prussian cabinet, the member of which, including the war minister, General von Stein, a soldier, not nolilican. submitted their resignations declaring that they could not remain it von : Bctlimann-Hollweg was' re . tained. ; Senate Expected to Pass Aviation Bill Promptly Washington, July 16. -A speedy passage by the senate of the $640,000, 0U0 aviation bill, passed by the house Saturday, was predicted today by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee.

DRAFT DRAWING MAY BEGIN SATURDAY 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. N Thrills. "This seems to be a very dangerous precipice," remarked the tourist.
