The Hagup, June 29. Von Kuehlmann haa not et ten dered his resignation, and the Ger man papers seem to agree that his fall is not imminent. They admit a Kuehl mann crisis, but ngree that It is con fined to him and that the Government has a steady majority In the Reichstag. The Weser Zeitung considers It e traordlnary that the shadows which the people thought had disappeared for good reappear at eery ministerial crisis. This time It Is again the much hated Hclfferlch, the Kaiser's friend, who Is said to have his eye on the for eign- secretaryship.. The papers remindtneir reaaers oi the circumstances under which Helf ferlch disappeared from the political arena last autumn and that It was the same strong majority which now sup ports the Government that banished him. Even the Loknl Anzelger, which calls for a strong, practical business man and sas that Germany's eco nomic future will be In the new sec retary's hands, strongly dlsappioves Helfferleh. The paper sajs that "among the splendid, representatives of oir overseas trade there surely must be a few men to choose from who would be suitable for the foreign secretaryship." Mistake to Hasten Crisis All the papers agree that. In 'Uew of the critical times, It would be a mistake to hasten a crisis and that Kuehlmann must have time to wind up affairs now In hand, especially the Rumanian peace. Vorwaerts, which is full of contempt for Kuehlminn since Tuesday's speech. considers that a change at tnis junc ture would mean serious consequences, and declares that the Kuehlmann crisis means a. Chancellor crisis, and one for the whole Government ' The Cologne Gazette sajs that there Is no question of Kuehlmann's Immediate resignation, as some papers maintained, and that Kuehlmann Indicated his Inten tion of not resigning by announcing that he would speak on reform In the diplo matic ser Ice. The Vosslsche Zeitung advises that the situation must be allowed to develop quietly and that the Rumanian peace treaty must be settled. It says that, nbove all, any Improvisation must he avoided, so that the crisis will not be allowed to become acute. " Talk of Kuehlmann't Fall The Cologne Volkszeltung points out that Important domestic and foreign po litical questions hav'e taken a back seat, and in the Reichstag corridors the mem bers talk only of Kuehlmann's fall. It says that Kuehlmann will, of course, ilrsrflnlsh his suit against the Deutsche Zeitung and the Rumanian treat). Not even his friends, It alleges, supported him. The Berliner Tageblatt remarks that in the 'Reichstag the Kuehlmann resig nation Is discussed, and that the Left agrees fhat It would result In serious LOnsequences. The Reichstag majority has decided to tllscontinue the debates on foreign politics and the original list of speakers has been discarded, with the exception of Social Democrats, who Insist on asking certain questions.

By MAJ. GEN. .MAURICE Former Director nf Military Operations of the British Army London, June 29. The recent debates on the national service In the House of Commons have done much to clear the air. A great deal of misunderstanding and confusion would havo been avoided If the. Government cmiM tint tat,-.. .. I'wgMiZy-wZw 1 Intolts confidence 1 T"'""M ear,ler- presslon made by the statements which the Ministers made after the Ger. man attack of March 21 was that our own armies In 4 France had been kept up to strength , and that those which k tne Allies could Illarr. H In the field on the 1 western front were approximately equal I to the forces- which the e n e m v rrmiri UI-.N. MAUBICB bring against them We now know that the Government, In making this comparison, was not taking Into account the men whom Germanj could bring over from the east nor the relative provision made by Germany anc by the Allies for keeping up their armies In the field during the first half of the campaign of 1918. Napoleon said that In war the greatest general Is he who makes the fewest m'stakes, and the tasks which confront governments In a national war are not less Intricate and complicated than those with which the commanders In the field have to deal. Mistakes therefore are Inevitable, but the best way of over coming and avoiding their repetition Is a frank acknowledgment that, they have been made. Anxious to Know ed Now that we have had to call upon our older classes, and the fathers of families and the men upon whom the efficiency of business, both large and small, depends, ar6 called to the colors, the country Is anxious to know exactly what the need Is and to be assured that the best possible use Is being trnde of the men now being taken for the army. Application of national service In the midst of war Is an extraordinary, diffi cult and complicated business In order that It might bo passed by general con sent numerous pledges had to be given which have In the long run Interfered with its smooth working and with the evenness of Its application. Injustices have, therefore, been frequent and un avoidable, for the burden which has fallen upon the man taken has often been greater than would have been borne by tho man who, owing to the defects of a hasty Improvlslon, was left. When our difficulties are compared with those of a country such as France, which has for long and In the quiet times of peaco perfected the. machinery of national service, where every man knows the call which may be made upon him and approximately vhen it will have to be met, it is to the undoing credit of our country that they havo been over come with so little friction and with such general good will. But the process of overcoming these difficulties is, as Sir Auckland Geddes has just explained, a very slow business The Intention Is that 7 per cent of the older men shall be posted to the army this year, but now wo are Informed, at the end of June, that lessthan one-third of 1 per cent has actuary been posted We also know that after these older men have been posted they nre used by the military authorities to replace oung er men combed out of the auxiliary services behind the front so as to release them for the fighting line. This also must obviously take time. When our methods are so cumbrous unavoidably cumbrous It Is obvious that we have to look, as I have repeated ly said, a long way ahead. We did not look far enough ahead and therefore, as the prime minister has just said, the "emergency Is a serious one; It Is an overwhelming one." The Germans have brought over more and more men from nussla, and the Allies have not had a corresponding number of fresh reserves ready to place In the field. We have had heavy'Iosses and men have not been ready In sufficient numbers to make them good. That this Is So is clear from what the Both Stores 19 So. I lth A quick Serriea Mai'i key.
