LY NO MORE HOUNDING Bitter StruggZle Between Falkenhayn OF FREED CONVICT and Hindenburg Ends With Dis- placement of Former as Chief. | London, Aug. 31, 11 a. m.—The dis- placement of Gen. von Falkenhayn as | German chief of staff and the ap- | pointment of Field Marshal von Hin- ‘ denburg to that post are said by Reu- | ter's correspondent at Berne to mark | the end of long and bitter strife be- tween these men. Field Marshal von Hindenburg, he sa) is believed gen- | erally to favor the moderate policy of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollwes, while Gen. von Falkenhayn is among the opponents of the chancellor. The Frankfurter Zeitung says the | change comes as a complete surprise, i and adds: ! “It is impossible that two men of full temperamental independence of each other, who also are widely sep- | arated geographically, could direct and command at such a decisive time. At such a time it is absolutely neces- sary that everything shall be done | to consolidate and increase our forces to the utmost. Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gen. von Ludendorf (appointed Field Marshal von Hin- denburg's chief of staff) form a com- bination which unites allf Germans and | all who are fighting on the German ' side, cheering them and encouraging ; them in the belief that victory will be ours.” CONSTANTINE AT ATHENS | | No Confirmation of Reported Flight of Greek King Received—Reported He Escaped With Uhlan Escort.
