In its place has risen anew, and this time, a really serious crisis, caused by the attempts of Chancellor Michael is, Vice Chancellor Helfferich and Minister of the Navy von Capelle to use the alleged plot in the (Jerman navy as a political weapon against the party of the extreme left in the Riechstag. It is not improbable German political observers point out that Chancellor Michaelis, in an hour of apparent success, sowed the seeds of his own downfall. Results May Be Slow.. Results ore not to be expected immediately as the Reichstag adjourns this week, but the now conditions of German political life, it is contended, will undoubtedly, from new on, work against von Bethmann-Holwegg's successor. The immediate result of the disclosures of Chancellor Michaelis and Vice Admiral Capelle have been that the government Socialists have been driven into coinplet opposition and into allignment with the radical Socialist, that the followers of PhiLip Sehcidemnnn have delivered a formal declaration of war against the government until Chancellor Michael is has been removed from office, and that the radicals, the members of the center ard even the National Liberals have criticised and condemned the Michaelis Capelle move as one which ought not to have been made until the government had full adequate proof of the complicity of the three radical Socialists in an actual conspiracy to mutiny. The Charges. Stripped of its embellishments, the government's statement reduced itself to the charge that agitation to enroll members for the radical Socialist party had been carried on in the navy', that leaflets had been distributed a;t^ that two of the executed sailors had visited Deputies Haase, Vogtherr and Dittmann. The three Socialists made a grebes play of the fact that the government had made no attempt to bring them to trial before or after the court-martial at Wilhelmshavcn, on August .'10. A large share of the press, despite the dislike for the radical Socialists, takes the standpoint that Chancellor Mich aolis misused the affair for political capital.
