French War Head, 111, Resigns as Result of Friction With Senate Special to the Telegraph ! Paris, March 17. General Joseph Simon Gallleni, Minister of War, lias re signed because of ill health, and Gen eral Charles Roque has been appointed so succeed him. General Gallieni lias been the French Minister of War since October, 1915. Before that, he was military governor I of Paris. i Before the war broke out there had been a feud of thirty years' standing ! between General Joffre and General Gallleni. They had not shaken hands nor exchanged friendly greetings dur ing that period. With tne declaration ,of war, they buried the hatchet and promised to co-operate with each other to the fullest degree for the good of their country. Since then there have been no indications of a reopening of ; the feud. Friction With tlie Senate I There has. however, been frequent I friction between Gallieni and the French Senate, as a result of which Gallieni lias more than once threatened |to resign. Ex-Premier Georges Cleni ! enceau. head of the Senate army com mission, .lias been an outspoken critic ! of the ministry and of the conduct of the war. Much of this criticism has been di | rected against alleged faults in the French aviation service. It may be sig nificant in this connection that General Roque, who succeeds Gallieni, was formerly inspector general of the air service and is an authority on matters of military aviation. DR. HO LI AY EG TO QVIT? By Associated Press London. March 17.—Dr. Von Beth niann-Hollweg, the Imperial chancel lor. may follow Admiral Von Tirpitz into retirement, according to a dis patch from Geneva to the Daily Ex press, quoting Berlin reports which also state that Prince Bernhard Von Buclow. the former chancellor, will soon leave Lucerne For Berlin. WANTS SEA FIGHT By Associated Press Paris, March 17.—The retirement of Admiral Von Tirpitz is considered in French official circles, according to the Paris newspapers, to be due to i the fact that he has opposed tjie com ing out of the German fleet while Em peror William desires to see it en ; gage the British naval forces. House of Commons Holds Protracted Session Over Married Recruits Problem By Associated Press London, March 17. —It was well past i 1 o'clock ths morning when the House 'of Commons adjourned after a pro tracted debate nominally on army estimates but really covering a wide range of topics. There were many heated passages regarding the problem of calling up married men. Sir John A. Simon, ex secretary for home affairs, among others, appeared as the champion of the married men. but his speech met with sharp criticism for other cham pions of the married men owing to his argument that there was danger of over recruiting. It was announced in the lobby of the House of Commons that a con ference will take place Saturday at the war office between the high mili- i tary authorities and the recruiting commanders when the require ments of the army in regard to men will be fully discussed. Among the proposals now# being considered is that of extending the military age for single men to to years. There is also a widespread feel ing that the compulsion act should be ! extended to the married men as a ; considerable part of the ill-feeling among married men now being called up is due to the fact that those who voluntarily enrolled under the Derby scheme must go into the army while 1 married men who declined in invita- , tion to enroll are allowed to con-! tinue in their civil occupations. The real seriousness of feeling 1 throughout the country on this matter was reflected in the House of Com- 1 mons where members showed tho , state of their minds on the vote for adjournment. The government de manded adjournment until Tuesday but part Mans of the married men urged a continuation of the session ! untl the question of the married men j was properly settled. The government got its wish, but only after a division was carried by a ! bare six votes. This is the most seri , ous division the coalition government i has yet had to face. Submarine War Will Go Limits Set in Memorandum; Von Hollweg to Resign? By Associated Press Berlin, March 16, via London, March 17.—German officials repeat the state ment that submarine warfare will go on in the limits set by the German Memorandum to neutral powers of 1 ; last month, hut that the demands of those who wished to see the indiscrim inate torpedoing of "whatever comes I in front of the torpedo tubes," to use | the expression of one of those who | advocate this policy, will not be ful- ■ tilled. This is also the deduction which ■ those acquainted with the situation declare can be drawn from the resig- ■ nation of Admiral Von Tirpitz, which ; was foreshadowed a few days ago by ' the reports of his illness. The con clusion Is said to be strengthened by the fact that Admiral Von Capelle has been chosen as the new minister. lie is known merely as an excellent ad ministrative officer, not having had ship command in the last twenty-five years. During this period he has been at the admiralty, first as advisor on military affairs, then in the budget departments and finally as head of the administrative department He was looked on as the right hand man of Admiral Von Tirpitz until his re- j Urement last November.

Insists Upon Rigid Economy in Framing New German War Budget By Associated I'rcss Berlin, March 17 —(By Wireless) Dr. Karl Helfferlch, secretary of the • Imperial Treasury, introduced in the J Reichstag yesterday the budget pro- i posals and bills for new war taxes. ; 'Dr. Helfferlch insisted upon the neces- . Isity of rigid economy in framing the j budget, saying: "We shall put on the brakes where ■ ever we can." The secretary pointed out that an increase in revenue by taxation was : necessary, although he said every \ German expected peace would bring ! financial advantages. After stating that war expenses were not included : in the budget, he referred to the fact that the Influence of the war was noticeable in the increase of interest |on the public debt, which was 1,268,- ■ 000,000 marks last year, and is now I 2,303,000,000 marks. He said the budget showed a deficit of 480,000,000 | marks, which was to be covered by) ! new war tuxes. Dr. Helfferich urged the Reichstag ! to expedite the financial legislation, i saying that the new taxes would pro vide 10,000,000 marks each week for carrying on ihe war. The secretary compared the finan ' cial resources of Germany as ex hibited during the war, with those of i her enemies. He said Prance up to | the present had not raised even ten billion marks in war loans, and that | England had raised between 18,000,- ,000,000 and 19,000,000,000 marks, of | which 13,000,000,000 was in the form I .of a short term floating debt. Ger -1 many, ho said, had raised 25,000,000,- 000 marks and all the loans had been consolidated. At the same time the cost of the war in January and \ February fell below 2,000,000,000 J j marks. German savings banks, the secre- j 1 tary continued, now have deposits of 1500,000,000 marks in excess of 1914,' in addition to which 4,500.000,000■ marks has been withdrawn from the banks for war loan investments. | Germany's enemies.
