WASHINGTON. D. C. Jul 11.
Germany's latest difficulties are re
garded as due largely to Internal
troubles, and are probably of a tran
sitory nature only, according to be
lief here.
Tbe dismissal of Secretary Simmer
man and even Chancellor Hollweg
himself Is considered' largely a sur
face movement, for not until the
great army general staff itself' is
reached will the real crustof German
militarism be broken.
