Colonel Repington states that all Germany will acclaim Marshal von Hindenbnrg's appointment. The change is an admission 'of the.failure of'.General' von Falkenhayu's strategy since Verdun and the Somiiie. Von Fulkenhayii has not shown elasticity and leaves Marshal von Himlcnburg the most unfavourable conditions on several .fronts, Von Hiudenburg needs watching. While the Russo-Rumanians devastate the plahis.oi' Hungary, von llindenbiirg will probably try a great movement from Kovel, or, using his superior railways, may strike elsewhere. The German armies are still of good strength and in good heart and the reserves are suflicieiit to allow a strong offensive. We .must expect Marshal von Ujnilciiburg to strike a desperate blow; that's his character. The new broom will attempt a clean sweep.

Mr W, J. Wild, Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mail, writes that General von Ealkoniinyii goes because the Huns are in a panic. ' Marshal 'Von iliudcndenburg's appointment is an Jndisf putnblc confession of disaster and impending 1 rout. • Von Falkeuhayn was the pillar of the War Party' ■■ which forced the war, and it is therefore significant • that the Kaiser has deserted the General Staff for .the populace as represented by the people's idol. ■ Quarrelling among the German high command was notorious, anil : General von Falkculiayn and von llindenburg ferociously . warred for the Kaiser's fa'vour, Von 'Falkculiayn enjoyed uninterrupted personal contact with the Kaiser, and his influence predominated, whilst von llindenburg whined incessantly foi'.roiiil'oi'cciiicnts tu'cniiblc him to break through the Russians since the iWnqiie-'t' 'of Poland. . The matter reached a climax in dune, when the ho\ylingof the popular "Napoleon" became so insistent that the Kaiser and von Fulkcnhayirwent to the East, at'tciwjiieh Von.llindenburg's influence held the Emperor fast, ' ("Router's Tcli'gniuis.") ' AMSTERDAM, August 31. The Kaiser has written to General von Falkculiayn that he does not wish to oppose the hitter's desire to be relieved of office, and confers upon him the Imperial Order and assures him his salary will be continued till he is reemployed.
