KAISER AT IRE
HELM—EURTHER
CHANGES MADE
_
Bulletin—LONDON. Oct. 25. — German Imperial
C hancellor Michaelis has placed his portfolio in the hands
of the Emperor. This is the announcement received in a
dispatch from Amsterdam and its authenticity is not
doubted.
For the past few days it has been reported and then
denied that Michaelis was to resign. Today’s report, com
ing from a source of undoubted authority, is believed to be
correct, and Michaelis. having seen the handwriting on the
wall, has quit.
Michaelis has had a stormy career of months in his
chancellorship. None ol the Allies has doubted but that
he was only the goat and sooner or later the Kaiser would
be forced to remove him. as he was a disappointment Irom
the beginning, not onh for the Imperial government, but
lo all other parties.
VICE-CHANCELLOR RELIEVED OF HIS DUTIES
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 25.—An official Berlin telegram
says that an Imperial decree has been issued declaring that
the social, economic and political tasks have been trans
ferred from the Ministry of the Interior to a new Imperial
Department of Economics.
The same decree, according to the official informa

KAISER HAS RETURNED TO RERUN {

r
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 25. — The Kaiser returned to “
Berlin last Tuesday it is officially announced here, this in- f

summoned to Berlin and immediately began dealing with
the political crisis, particularly as it affected the chancel

CHANGE OF AFFAIRS NOT UNEXPECTED 1
--
BERNE, Oct. 25.—The resignation of Chancellor Mi- f
chaelis and other changes in 11. o various Imperial Depart
ments of Germany have not been unexpected. ( hancel
lor Michaelis has been losing for two months. When he '
was named Chancellor to succeed Bethmann-Hollweg it '
was believed that the change in the administration was
only for the purpose of establishing a stronger military
power. The first disappointment caused by Michaelis was
when he gave his maiden speech before the Reichstag re
garding peace. His speech was an absolute disappoint
ment. Michaelis rambled and said nothing. Socialists
then started trouble clamoring for terms upon which there
might he a possible peace and the Reichstag was then
thrown into a turmoil and has been in one continuous
(
round ot trouble since.
. -w % 1 *
On October 17tb one Socialist newspaper in uemn
stated that the Socialists had decided to vote against the
new war credit of ten billion marks unless Michaelis re
signed. This credit is to be submitted to the Reichstag in
December. Since that date the Socialists have made re
peated demands that Michaelis resign and have started
! various economic and political disputes which have threat- J
cried a general upheaval in the German government.
One Berlin newspaper, a military organ, also the
Hamburg Fromdenblatt, last week announced that there ■
was a discernible indication that certain forces were work
on the belief that a military dictatorship would come and ,
that Michaelis would be the dictator. Two Socialist or
gans at once replied that if the Imperial German govern
ment desired funds for the continuance of the war, Mi
i chaelis would have to resign before December.
From information reaching here during the past
• week the political situation was becoming near a crisis and 1
i the Kaiser had been summoned to return to Berlin from
the German army headquarters.
; When the Reichstag adjourned on Octolier 13th, leav
! ing behind anything but a favorable impression of the
| work accomplished, observers then believed that the situ
i ation would sooner or later lead to the lorced retirement
of Michaelis. It was stated by those high in authority that!
the Chancellor could not last another month. ]
Today’s developments have borne out all Socialistic ,
j forecasts.

NEWS OF FAR
NORTH OF NOME
Leaving Bailey island, Captain Mar
1 tin Anderson, better known by the so
| briquet of Chechaeo Martin, recently
| returned to Nome with his schooner,
| the Anna Olga, dropping anchor in
| Nome roadstead, says a recent issue
|; of the Nome Nugget.
I Not one word has been heard of the
1 Stefansson expedition, good, bad or
1 indifferent, but as tthey are in Pat
i | rick’s land, completing the survey of
31 the new land, it was not likely that
i! they would hear of him.
This season marked the latest break
3 of ice ever in the north. And when
■ Martin left late in August it was still
3 solid to the eastward. This was the
3 latest break-up in the history of the
3 Mackenzie, the river breaking up sev
^ eral weeks later than usual.
Whales were plentiful in the north
and when Captain Anderson was leav- j
ing the “the bowheads were blowing!
off inshore.”
Joe Bernard is at the Copper Mine
river, hunting, trapping, exploring and
collecting curios.
The Mission schooner which was |
brought down the Mackenzie river and
which was valued at $7000 was burn
ed and totally destroyed last winter.
Fire broke out in the engine room and
was too strong to control.
The redoubtable Pete Bernard was
at Cape Kellett and the Mary Sachs!
still on the beach in Banks Land. Alec
Allan with his schooner El Sueno, with
a shaft somewhat bent by bucking ice,
was at Warren Point, happy and well.
Around Banks Land on August 10th
it was solid ice.
