VON SEECET'S SUCCESSOR.

BERLIN. Though at first disposed to take um- brage at President Hindenburg's besita- tion to confirm General von Seeckt's resignation, the Republican Press ex- Presses satisfaction that the President should have finally decided to reject the advice of certain Monarchists, who seem to have tried to influence him. These papers find comfort in reflecting that Hindenburg's loyal and good" sense" finally led him to turn a deaf our to those who would fain have seen him adopt a leis constitutional course. It is extreme-

SPYING MYSTERY.

Revelations of astonishing carelessness in high quarters with valuable naval and military documenta are made by Brigadier-General W. Hely-Hutchinson Waters, formerly military attaché in Russia and Germany, in a lively book at reminiscences called "Secret and Confidential," recently published inly regrettable, ag the Frankfurter

One day General Waters was ordered to recover the six copies and burn them. Lord Salisbury had a dim recollection" of seeing the report, and rather thought he had left it in the pocket of an old coat which he had given to a gardener." Mr. Balfour had no idea what had become of his copy, and in all four of these secrét documents were "missing."

In political matters he has been very reticent. In taking over the duties of chief of the German defence forces he becomes Dr. Gessler's chief military adviser.

Man Who Made the Kaiser Abdicate. PARIS.

The Echo de Paris recalls the fact that

it was General Here, who induced the Kaiser to take refuge in Holland,

It was in 1918, at the moment when the the German armies had

brought about, the revolution, that Gen- ral Heye was entrusted with the mission of announcing to the Kaiser the disaffer- tion of the army. He did it in the following terms:

The actual perpetrator was never dis-reverses to covered," says the general, "but Minister told me that he had no doubt about the ...that has an unrivalled and Plans having fallen into French hands." General Waters declares that in 1891 Extensive knowledge of the best Mr. Poulteney Bigelow, the famous media for all classes of Ad-the Kaiser to attack Russia unawares, in American traveller and writer, pressed vertisers,

General Waters was warned by the War Office "that if there should be any trouble with the Russian authorities the War Office would not only disown us altogether but would likewise infict punishment in order to show perfectly clean hands.

He spent some time spying out the Russian military arrangements in the hinterland of the German frontier, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing in the scare about an imminent Russian attack.

An Explanation.

The only explanation General Waters suggests why the British War Office spied for Germany is this:-

The matter was, of course, of the

also deepest interest to the British Government. From a cold-blooded point of view, struggle-gigantie as it was bound to be between the three lending military powers of Europe (Germany, Russia, and France), was likely to be extremely beneficial to ourselves, poli- tically and commercially. The tension in Asia would cease; Egypt--then a running sore in the French side would fall completely under our domination, our traders and workers would benefit enormously?"

General Waters wrote a confidentini re- port on the Russo-Japanese war-he was with the Russian: Army-and mentioned that a copy was required for the Prince of Wales-the present King General Grierson, at the War Office, said that it was too secret. General Waters point- ed out that King Edward wished the Prince to be acquainted with anything important, but Grierson replied: "When he becomes King he shall have a copy."

A copy of the report was eventually' 'sent to the Prince of Wales, on the orders of a superior authority,

As a result of this conversation the Kaiser decided to escape to Holland, but be hesitated to take immediate flight for fear of being considered a coward. He was willing to abdicate as Kaiser, bat wished to remain King of-Prússia, Ind the end General Heye succeeded in making him realise that by remaining in Germany he ran the risk of being Imade a prisoner, tried by court-martial, and shot by the revolutionaries.
