COPENHAGEN, July 14. Field Marshal von Hindcnliurg and General Ludendorff have arrived at Berlin and began conferences at once with the Crown Prince and the Kaiser himself, according to official dispatches received here today. This is the second time in a week that von Hindenburg and Ludendorff have been summoned from the front to Berlin on the Kaiser's orders. LONDON. July 14. Imperial Chancellor von Bethmnnn-Holl-weg's resignation has been nccepted by the Kaiser, according to the Taegllcho Rund schau.

The story Is circulated by the Wolff News Bureau, generally known as the ofllclal ijency of the Government.

Sensational rumors that the Kaiser has lost his throne were current In Holland to day. They are unconfirmed. The Amster dam correspondent of the Morning Tost cabled today as follows: Rumors are current here that Em peror William has abdicated In favor of Ms son, Prince Joachim, his sixth son. They are unconfirmed and must be taken with all reserve. With the Important Crown Council ses sions and the summoning of Von Hinden burg and Ludendorff to Berlin, London Is watching the situation with marked Interest REICHSTAG'S POSITION The Center party's demand as to Ger many's peace terms Is finding support In the Reichstag because it Is felt adoption of these suggestions by the Government would be effective answer to the Entente's claims that Germany must be crushed to achieve Its democratization. If the Government ap proves the Center's pollcy.iU Is held this act would show Germany's democracy at this present time. For this reason the situation In the Reichstag today was regarded as having an Important bearing on the war's end, Rumors of the resignation of Chancellor Hollweg arose through the fact that prior to the meeting of the Crown Council, he, with all other Prussian ministers, tendered his resignation to the Emperor. The cabi net officers desired that the Kaiser bo not pampered In dealing with the situation. PARLIMENTARY REFORM Today It was held the Kaiser's promise of Prussian electoral reforms had solved the question which started the present crisis. But this was held to be of minor interest to the parliamentary reform now foremost In the agitation of the Centrists, .ui number of ofllclals, however, held that J 'question would never have been raised If the Prussian reforms had been promised t-an earlier date. There were repeated conferences today Mtweeir the Emperor, the Crown Council, the Chancellor and the Crown Prince with their confidential advisers and parlla mentary leaders.
