HINDENBURG'S APPOINTMENT
HAS CONFIDENCE OF GERMANY. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) _- LONDON, August 31. The Times, in a leading article, says: '.General von Falkenhayn's dismissal, almost with ignominy, is the penalty for his failure at Yerdun. General von Hindenburg's appointment as Chief of Staff makes it possible to deceive the German nation for a few months longer. We will do well to take him seriously, recognising him as a man of big, but simple ideas. Germany has awakened and sees her plight for the first time, and is growing swiftly fearful of the future. Yon Hindenburg is the only man who could order a ruthless shortening of the Western front without producing a collapse of public faith." ZURICH, August 31. Yon Hindenburg has given the notorious General Bernhardi the command of an Austrian army corps in the Kovel sector. CENTRAL POWERS CONFER. COUNCIL OF WAR IN VIENNA. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) NEW YORK, August 30. A War Council of the Central Powers lias been summoned at Vienna to consider Roumania's entry into the war. King Ferdinand of Bulgaria will attend.
