Elevation of Hindenburg Stroke of Kaiser to. Revive Spirits of
People, Who Are Becoming Skeptical.
A despatch from London- says:
Well-informed opinion here is that the
true measure of the effect which Rou-
Mania's entry into the war has had
upon the German higher Councils is
given by the removal of Gen; Von
Falkenhayn and the appointment of
von Hindenburg. The supersession
of von Moltke after the battle of the
Marne wasr 1 military pu ey mlita y in its
hearings, while the appointment of
Hindenburg because of the failure of
German diplomacy to keep Roumania'
out of the war is regarded as an "ex-
cited effort to satisfy public opinion"
in Germany.
A despatch" from The IIagae
says the change in the General Staff
has caused a sensation in Germany,
where the censorship so far does not
allow the publication of newspaper
comment. In the same• despatch it is
suggested that theplans i
Sugg p o s of H nden-
burg and Falkenhayn clashed because;
the latter did not wish to send troops"
to the eastern front, holding that the
eeisionain the war would come oni
d y
in the west, and that Roumania's
move caused the Kaiser suddenly to
take Hindenburg's side. The view
here, however, is rather that in plac-
ing Hindenburg the Kaiser plays his
last trump; that the German people
are losing faith in the reports of their
own press and the Kaiser hopes to
revive their spirits by invoking the
magic
'i
of Hindenburg's nbur name.
e g s na e.
Hindenburg's task in 1916 is com-
pared with that of Napoleon in 1814.
The Westminster Gazette draws at-
tention. to the fact that "von Hinden-
burg, von Tirpitz and von Bulow have,
as . the readers of the German news-
papers know, become associated in the
public mind with a policy of ruthless
war to the end as against a hankering
for peace, which is attributed to
Bethntann-Holweg, Falkenhayn and
the Emperor himself. ,,The latter hat
apparently thought it necessary to
r himself b y a dramatic stroke

and with Hindenburg in supreme con-
trol andall the extremists at

Bethmann-Holweg we may look out
for a fresh bout of frightfulness."
ROUMANIA SHARES
ALLIES' RESOURCES
Men, Money and Munitions to be
Handed Over Freely
for the War.
A despatch from London says:
Roumania already is being taken into
the heart of the Entente alliance and
is beginning to experience the great
benefits of having an +open aecount
with suds powers as Franee, Great
Britain and Russia. • She is sharing
in the funds and general resources of
the allies.
A consignment of .i+?reneh 75-miili-
metre guns and munitions for the
Roumanians has been shipped from
Russia into Roumania. Other French
war material, consigned eventually to
Roamaida, has been lying at the part
of Vladivostok, and has now been or-
dered immediately routed to Rou-
mania.
France's chief contribution to Rou-
mania is thus in the form of war ma-
terial. Roumanian artillery is at pre-
sent equipped in great part with
Krupp guns, many of which wero
received during the last six months in
part payment for the 681 ears of
grain andfresh meat sent from Rou-
mania to Germany.
Russia's contribution will be in the
form of troops. Besides undertaking
to guarantee Roumania's security on
the side of the Eastern Carpathians
and apart from the prospective oper-
ations of Russian forces through
Roumania against Bulgaria, Russia is
to provide 200,000 men to co-operate
with the Roumanians in Transyl-
vania.

Prisoners Say They Have Had
Enough of War -Shell
Craters Are Ponds.
A despatch from the British Front
in France' says: An Army officer and
ninety Germans surrendered in a
body near Guillemant on Wednesday,
They were sent out as usual with or-
ders to stick under the British shell
fire and against British infantry at-
tacks to the last man. But when the
British worked their way up on either
side of the exposed trench they held
up a white flag without making any
fight for it, They said that they had
suffered enough hardship and had had
enough of war and preferred to be
taken prisoners. The heavy down-
pour of rain continued all day, malting
ponds of the shell craters and turn-
ing the trenehes into mudholes.
While the German press is saying
that Roumania's entry will lengthen
the war, prisoners taken say that it
will shorten it, as is evident now
that Germany cannot win and had
better compromise than prolong the
struggle.
'"But we are not going to consider
any compromise," the British soldiers
tell them.
j The British who have received the
surrender of Germans say that with
characteristic organization they now
have what the British call a "surren-
der drill." When they come out of
their dugouts to give themselves up,
as in the case of the body on Wed-
nesday, they have all their letters,
papers and valuables in their hands,
ready as a peace offering to their
captors.
ERASE KAISER'S NAME

A despatch from Rome says :-
Workmen on Tuesday chopped off the
marble memorial names of Emperor
William and the German Crown
Prince, Frederick William, which had
been placed in the Senatorial Palace
on the ancient Capitol hill during a
visit of the German Emperor to Rome
twenty years ago. The names were
ordered removed by the city Govern-
ment.
OLD AGE PENSIONERS

A despatch from London says :-
In response bo prolonged agitation re-
gaiding the hardships suffered by
Government old age pensioners by
reason of the increase in the price of
necessaries, the Government has de-
cided in special cases to make an ad-
ditional allowance not exceeding half
a crown per week.
FRENCH RECOGNITION

A despatch from Paris says: -For
the first time since Italy entered the

nesday ordered that flags be raised on
all official buildings in recognition of

Germany, and by Roumania against

TWO LEPROSY CASES

A despatch from Victoria, B. C.,
says: Hardly had the medical auth-
orities taken in charge one case of bhe
dreaded disease leprosy, in the per-
son of a Chinese who had been a re-
sident of the local Chinese colony for
the last year, than the discovery was
made of another case, one more seri-
n
st. Within the last
day or two this second case, that of a
man who has been a resident of
Canada for some years, and who is in t
a deplorable condition through the
ravages of the malady, was discovered
by the Dominion medical aubhorities,
and is now incarcerated at the Isola-
tion Hospital.
