WIAT WASHINGTON THINKS OF

(Yown Prince, Have (lained Full
Control — Indications 81*0 That
o Kmperor William’s Ultimate Re
tirement is Forecast by the Treiid
of the Latest Developments.
Dispatches received in Washington
from official and semi-official
sources concerning the situation in
Germany seem to leave no room for
doubt that the Crown Prince has at
tained an ascendency in the imperial
councils which means a curtailment
of the prestige and authority of Em
peror William and indicates his ulti
mate retirement.
Leaders of the militarist party un
der Field Marshal Hindenburg and
Gen. Ludendorff, who recognize the
Crown Prince as the imperial fam
ily’s representative of their policies,
appear to have gained complete con
trol of the government, and it is be
lieved that this faction dictated, the
appointment of Dr. Georg Michielis
as imperial chancellor to succeed von
Bethmann-Hollweg. -
The preliminary reforms agreed to
by the Kmperor and the crown coun
cil are couched in such uncertain
terms that they are regarded .as
meaning nothing or na requiring a
suspension of Judgment as to their
•cope and effort But the internal
situation affected by the reputed
grunting of these reforms decrease#

Intelligence reaching Washington
Indicates that Germany has treated
Austria with little consideration, but
has not driven the Vienna govern
ment to a consideration of a separate
peace. Berlin’s overbearing atti
tude, however, has irritated Aus
trians of every degree, and an in
teresting situation has been created,
which* it Is predicted, will require
the application/of Germany’s re
sources to prevent embarrassment to
her. l.- <
From its diplomatic agencies In
Allied and neutral countries • in
Europe the state department receiv
ed dispatches telling of the political
crisis in Germany, but it admitted
that none of them has given the gov
ernment a clear Insight into what
has happened and is happening in
Germany. Officials confess that they
are very* much in the dark.
The little they know leads them
to believe, they say, that the change
in the chancellorship has not pro
duced a situation as favorable to the
Allied cause as might have been sur
mised from the prior knowledge of
the attacks made in the Reichstag
on the chancellor and his policies.
While officials wish it to be un
derstood that they are depending
mostly on surmise, they are of the
opinion that the critical aspect of
Germany’s affairs are internal and
not her military policies, and are
inclined to think that nothing has
occurred to change the manner of
conduct of the war. The demand
was mainly for parliamentary re
forms. and the officials In question
aay they have found nothing to cause

•‘There is no likelihood that under

the German people will be allowed
to express their own convictions and
opinions. The war will go on with
the German idea of annexations and
indemnities prevailing.
“The peace move, of which so
much has been said lately, is an
enormous German fraud by which
the Allied countries will not be de
luded. The German political crisis
was created, to impress the, outside

will not accept any proposal of peace
unless it is in accordance with the
principles declared over and over
