July IB Up until last May, Iouls Cohen was a traveling sales, man, who devoted most of his earnings to his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs Louis Cohen, Sr., who then lived at 124 South Third street, Brooklyn But vthe time came early In May when Louis forsook the sample case and donned the khaki for Uncle Sam. and, in doing so, he made a sacrifice that makes his death in action in France note worthy. For Cohen had an older brother whose remuneration was much more than his. Ths brother was called In the draft. That left the support of tho parents on Louis. His salary did not compare with his brother's, so he went to the draft board and suggested that he be allowed to exchange places with his brother.

York 7'llfa Co. Antaterdam, July l"i - Tho speech of Count Th Hertllng, the German Imperial Chancellor, In the main committee of the Reichstag, was on lines agreeing with all forecasts.

Von Kuehlmann did .not leave the Foreign Office so suddenly because the policy waB to be changed Von Hlntze comes not to give effect to any alteration. Thus Hertling tried to soothe the Left He cheered the Right by severe con demnation of President Wilson and Bal four, and also bv the virtual admission that imperial headquarters do and are entitled to keep a strict eye on the Gov ernment's doings The Chancellor's speech. Indeed, was little more than a paraphrase of previous comments on the situation made by such party authorities as the North German Gazette and the "Black" Kreuz Zeltung German democratic papers need only re turn to their utterances of the day be fore to obtain all they need for criticism of the speech Thus "the old course," the "old policy," remains unchanged, but the cry of Vorwaerts and the Tageblatt Is in unison. What la the "Old rollrj"? "What in heaven's name Is the 'old policy''' sas the Tageblatt "Anv as surance that tomorrow's policy will be the same as yesterday's Is not worth much, because nobody knows In the" least what Hertling's policy up to now has been If the policy is not to be changed, why has Von Kuehlmann had to go?" Indeed, round about his going there appears to hang considerable mvstery. It Is now accepted that Von Kuehlmann went to headquarters on Saturday, 'July G. without any Intention of resigning "The highest Government personalities," as the Frankfurter Zeltung savs, "did not expect that he would return as a private Individual He went to discuss the situation created in the east bv the assassination of Count von Mlrbach, German ambassador tp Russia " 'In the discussion," sajs the Berlin Conttnued on Pare v.
