VON MOLTKE DEAD;
ORGANIZED MR MAN
fORCES FOR WATl
Jfcrttter Chief of Staff
' Stricken During Service
for Von der Goltz
QUIT COMMAND IN 1914
AMBTEHDAM, Juns 19. Lieutenant
(tenefal Hetmuth von Moltke, Chief of
the Supplementary General Start of the
army, died of apoplexy yesterday during a
Mrvtcs oi mourning In tho Itclclistng for
the late Field Marshal von tier Goltz, says
Berlin telegram received last night.
Lieutenant General von Moltke, 'who
was 68 years old, was a nephew of the
kite Field Marshal von Moltke, the great
strategist, who directed the victorious move
ments of tho German armies when they
achieved their triumph In tho Franco-Prussian
War of 1870-71. At tho time of his
uncle's death, In 1891, he was a major, but
In 1899 he was made a general, three years
later a lieutenant general and In 1902 Chief
of ths General Staff, In which last named
dice ho has been credited with having per
fected the splendid organization of tho Gcr
Man army.
During ths fall of 1914 announcements of
General von Moltko's Illness were followed
by reports that he had been superseded as
Chief of the General Staff. These, howover,
proved unfounded, but In December of that
Tear he retired from tho post, his falling
health. It was said, preventing his return
to the front Ho was succeeded by the
present head of tho Genoral Staff,' General
von Falkenhayn. In the January following
lie was appointed Chief of tho Supplemen
tary General Staff.
Whon the Kaiser elevated von Moltke to
the position of chief of staff many, both In
ten army and In civil life, mado harsh
criticism. They said von Moltko owed his
advance primarily to tho Emperor's passion
for the picturesque and his desire to havo
the magic name of Moltke at tho head ol
tho "brains department" of tho Gorman
Army.
But von Moltko's critics had their eyes
opened at tho first "Kaiser maneuvers," held
before ho had been chief Of tho general
staff for 10 months. The groat autumn
campaign had been distinguished by opera
tions that tho oft-quoted Marshal of France
would havo called "magnificent, but not
war." Tho Kaiser had a passion for thrill
ing cavalry charges over baro fields, which
made splendid moving pictures, but which
coat the lives of divisions In real war With
the taunts of his critics ringing In his ears
that he was a "Kaiser staff chief." von
Moltke'a first Innovation was to obliterate
ruthlessly tho plcturesquo from the
maneuvers. He gave tho troops gruelling,
practical operations night fighting, forced
inarches and all those exercises that have
made tho German army formidable.
The provlous chief of staff, Count
Echlleffen had attempted to opposce tho
Emperor's will and substltuto "real war"
for tho picturesque and had ben finally
forced to leave tho General Staff. Von
Moltke, with a will of steel, succeeded whore
he had failed, and his grow th In tho esteem
of the army was rapid thereafter. It was
through his Insistence that $350,000,000
was Bpent on tho army during tho year be
fore tho war.
At the time Von Moltke was retired as
chief of the General Staff, tho German
newspapers made guarded comments on tho
appointment of Von Falkenhayn, and said
that there had been a disagreement between
Von Moltke and the Emperor.

CAPTURE IMPORTANT.
The fata ot the city was sealed several
days ago, when the Russians pushed beyond
It, captured Snlatyn, on the River Pruth,
and cut tha railway communications from
tho northwest. Since then tho Austrlans
have been fighting desperately In the sub
urbs to gain time for the evacuation of the
city by their army and the removal of
military stores They are now being pur
sued Into the Carpathians,
Tho capture of tho city was reported here
last Friday, but the first ofnelal news of
Its evacuation was given yestertlay.
Tho capture Is an Important one, as It
entails tho command of several Important
railway lines. Tho city has been untenable
for several days because of the tremendous
Russian bombardment, which compelled tha
flight of the civil Inhabitants and tha evac
uation of the place by the Austrian forces.
It la expected that further details of tho
capture will show that both sides suffered
sanguinary losses.
NO DETAILS GIVEN.
Tho War Ofltce announces tho capturo of
Czornowltz In tho usual laconic terms It
gives no description of tho desperate fight
ing known to have occurred for tho croBslnxa
of tho Pruth River after tho Austrlans blew
up the bridges, but adds tho Interesting
fact that the Austrlans are being pushed
Into tho Carpathians, which Is the only
alternative to being driven Into Rumania,
where they would ba Interned.
This pursuit appears to show that tho
Russian cavalry is still actlvo, but military
critics hero nre beginning to wonder how
long tho Russians can maintain tho rapid
advance, which must bo tending to atton
