SEECKT’S DOWNFALL
A WOMAN’S PERSUASION. FRENCH DIPLOMATS PLEASED. LONDON, Oct. S. The downfall of General von Seeckt who resigned command of the German Army, according to the Berlin correspondent of the “Daily News,” was due to tho ex-Crown Princess Cecile, mother of Prince Wilhelm. They met lat a ball, and tho princess begged that Wilhelm might be allowed to receive a military training. Von Seeckt at first was evasive, but in the end he yielded to pressure exerted by- Monarchist officers. A message from Paris gays the resignation of Von Seeckt has been well received in French diplomatic circles. They assume that President Hindenburg and the Cabinet will accept it, and thus create a favourable atmosphere for the development of tho reprochement begun by M. Brlanoi and Herr Stressemann in their conversation at Thory.
