IIELFFERIGII IS SEEN AS POWER DEIIINDJIIRONE Unpopular Minister May Usurp Von Kuehlman's Duties, 'Tis Feared. COPENHAGEN, Aug. 7. Will Dr. Von Kuehlmann or Dr. KarlHelfferich, vice chancellor, be he real director of foreign policy under the administration of Dr. Michaelis, the Imperial German chancellor? This is the political problem of the hour in connection with the Bhakeup of cabinets in Germany. It is known the versatile Dr. Helfferich desires to have a hand in steering Germany's new course in world politics after the war, and it is rumored that the new chancellor, unacquainted as he is with international affairs, desires to retain the ex-bank director (Dr. Helfferich as his special adviser and mouthpiece, particularly for this field. Needed at Peace Board In fact, one of the avowed reasons for Dr. Helfferich's retention, despite his present unpopularity in the Reichstag was that his services are indispensable in peace negotiations. The Berlin Tageblatt, the Local Anzejger and the Vossische Zeitung all refer to the possibility of a conflict as Dr. Von Kuehlmann, it is understood, Is disinclined to permit himself to be relegated to a subordinate place. - A round feature of the shakeup is the consideration shown the Catholic center party, whose demand for representation in the imperial and Prussian cabinets for the Roman Catholic population was recognized by the appointment of three Roman Catholics, Spahn,Waldow and Kuehlmann. With a revocation of the antiJesuit and Polish expropriation laws, also part of the centrist program, that party is considered to have done very well aa a result of the parliamentary crisis. Newspapers Aggrieved While the radical and socialist press is dissatisfied at the absence of any marked concession to parliamentarism in the new cabinets and at the failure to consult the Reichstag in any way on the appointments, newspapers of the opposite camp are aggrieved at the shelving of Dr. Beseler, Prussian minister of justice; Count Loebell, Prussian minister of agriculture, and other stand-patters on Prussian franchise reform. The Tages Zeitung shows its dissatlsfaction in a short cool non-committal paragraph of greeting to the new administration and by giving far more space to sketches of the departing statesmen than by principles of the new appointees. Herr Zimmerman, ex-foreign secretary, in an article in the Lokal Anzeiger, scolds Dr. Michaelis for jettisoning those tried and trusty officials in favor of political novices of untried worth. Both Are Criticized. The Vossische Zeitung severely criticizes the appointments of Dr. Helfferich and Dr. Von Kuehlmann on the ground that both favor the reapprochment of England and not of Russia as a basis of post bellum policy. It says Dr. Helfferich was Do. Von Bethmann-Hollweg's evil genius in foreign affairs, who first delayed unrestricted submarine operations by getting out statistics and then discredited it by impossible predictions. Theodor Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt scoffs at all the appointments except that of Dr. Von Kuehlmann, whom he advises to use his elbows vigorously to gain room to run his own department and prevent intrusion by Dr. Helfferich. The Lokal Anzeiger also advises a firm policy and holds out as an enticement the glittering opportunity of leading the premier military power of the world to that Just and permanent peace which will be as great a victory for Germany on the diplomatic field as that of HIndenburg on the field of war. The Anzeiger's adoption of the phrase "peace by understanding" does not imply any change of heart in the paper, which Is committed absolutely to a powerful pan-German peace.

WRITE LETTERS TO TARS, CARE N. Y. POSTMASTER All Mail Should be Addressed Definitely or it May go Astray.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Hundreds of letters addressed to men on board ships of the United States Navy go astray, for lack of proper information on the part of senders on the right way to address them. All mail to bluejackets at sea should be addressed first of all in a legible hand writing; next of importance is to know positively on which ship the man is or was stationed, says an official announcement. A letter to John Avery Smith on board the II. S. S. South Carolina, should be addressed as follows: John Avery Smith, U. S. S. SOUTH CAROLINA, Postmaster, New York City, N. Y. Write to Washington. If a correspondent does not know to which ship a man has been assign

ed, write to the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, Washington, giving his name in full, home address, place of enlistment and the brench of service in which h enlisted. There are five separate branches in the Navy, first, the Regular Navy; second, the

Marine Corps; third, the National Nav

al Volunteers; fourth, The. National

Naval Reserve Force, and fifth the Naval Reserve Flying Corps. When one is not certain that the

man sought has enlisted in the Navy, but would like to trace him, the following letter addressed to the bureau' of

Navigation would serve as a guide: Give Full Details. "Bureau of Navigation, "Navy Department "Washington, D. C.

"Is there a man in the Navy by the name of John Avery Smith, age about thirty-one years; height five feet eight inches; weight about one hundred and seventy pounds; brown hair, and blue eyes; home address is Cumberland,

Maryland? If so please notify. "Yours very truly, "Mrs. John Avery Smith, "152 Franklin St., "Boston, Mass." If men enlisting in the Navy will

furnish relatives and friends with the

following information, much time, wor

ry and patience will be saved. They

should give their name In full, rating,

in which branch of service they have enlisted, place of enlistment and if possible, to which ship they are as

signed. If these suggestions are fol

lowed, mail will reach its destination

with little loss of time. The address to all ' men on board ships is Postmaster, N. Y.

SOUTH SIDERS NOT TO PUSH BRIDGE

On account of the unusual situation that now confronts the county commissioners through the inactivity of the bond market and the inability to sell bridge bonds, members of the South Side Improvement association decided not to push their demand for the South Side bridge, but to leave the matter in the hands of the association's bridge

committee.

It is understood the association will be content with a definite promise from the commissioners that the

bridge will be built as soon as the Eur opean war is finished.

The work of keeping In repair the thousands of signal and other flags used by the American destroyers keeps several men busy nearly all their duty hours.

A Convenient Way to Buy Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Etc. It is inconvenient for many people to furnish their homes complete at one fell swoop. Especially is this so in the case of young married couples, who prefer to keep their nest egg intact in the savings bank for the proverbial "rainy day." Naturally one looks around for a solution of the home furnishing problem, and the most feasible and economical way is via the "Romey Club Plan." Why is this so? Because the merchandise is reliable. Because there are no interest charges. Because there are no embarrassing situations. Because payments are arranged most conveniently.
