JAPANESE PRINCES TO WED to Heir of Former Em r of Korea. Tokio, Sept. 2.--Great interest has been caused in the Orient by the announcement that a marriage has been arranged between Prince Yi Yong, heir of the former Emperor of Korea, and the Japanese Princess Masako, eldest daughter of Prince Nashimoto, The betrothal already has been informally approved by Emperor Yoshihito, but will not be officially announced until necessary changes have been made in the regulations of the Japanese imperial marriages with foreigners or with the former imperial house of Korea. The betrothal has been arranged through the influence of Marshall Prince Terauchi, the Governor Gen- eral of Korea, and fulfills a long- cherished desire of the late Prince Ito;"who believed that the wedding of the Korean Prince with a Princess of the - imperial Japanese family would: do much: to strengthen and consolidate the relations between the Japanese and Korean people.

Much Speculation. London, Sept. 2.--Chief specula- | tion here regarding ¥ield Marshal von Hindenburg's policy is whether | and in what direction he will change Germany's plan of campaign, which to the moment he assumed Huthor- ity has been a plan, straightforward one, Military experts here believe that the vital military need of the Central Powers was the shortening of their line of defense, even before it was extended more than 200 miles by the addition of the Rumanian"boun- dary to the fighting front! Whether public opinion and polit- fecal interest, in view of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg's declaration 'that peace should be ' made on the basis of the present map of Europe. will permit any sacrifice of the terri- tory the Central Powers have gained estioned. 'Heretofore the Ger- man Government has discussed vie- tory and defeat chiefly in terms of the continental territory gained and los by the belligseenip f Not a Strategist. Field Marshal von Hindenburg has | been regarded here as a fighting gen- eral rather than a strategist. His success in the northeast is attributed largely to his intimate knowledge of the country to which he has devoted a lifelong study. . He 1s credited with the unshakable conviction that the war must be wom by ponuding Russia, whereas, Gen. von Falken- hayn was apparently committed to forcing a verdict on the western front, Some influential Brtish experts. notably the military correspondent of the Times, have hitherto criticized the establishment of an army at Sa- lonika as a dissipation of energy on sideshows. They contended that the Anglo-French forces should have been concentrated on the west- ern front. Premier Briand, on the other hand, fs credited with insist- ing on the Salonika enterprise, and with forcing his views upon the Brit- ish Staff. Opinion here has now swung entirely to the French strategy | in occupying Salonika. War Tidings. Serbian troops have entered Ru- mania, -joining Rumanian and Rus- sian armies.

Berlin, Sept. 2. --The appointment of Field Marshall von Hindefiburg as | chief of staff is regarded here as a measure of such far-reaching military and political consequences that even at this<¢lose range it is impossible fully to discern its significance. It is certain, however, that the investment of von Hindenburg with practically dletatorial powers is the most popular | thing the Kaiser has ever done. | There is more joy and enthusiasm | over the Field Marshal's elevation than over any victory since the earl-| jest months of the war. a4 While the gadical change was pre- | cipitated by Rumania's entry into the war, it is impossible to say | whether the decisive factor that in-| fluenced the Kaiser was the military necessity of centeritig the highest leadership on' all fronts in one han or the certainty of the tonic effect on the morale of the German nation. | Both considerations were undoubted- | ly important factors. To the American observer the most | interesting feature is the effect on| German public opinion.
