LATE GENERAL RESPONSIBLE FOR TREBIZOND,
("Times" and Sydney "Sun" Services.)
(Rec. April 25, 6 p.m.) ■ . London, April 24. According to reports from Amsterdam, German Press comments on the late Field-Marshal Von der Goltz (whose' death from spotted fever at Bagdad was reported on Monday) are luke-warm in tone. Several newspapers doscribe him as an admirable theorist, but unable'to demonstrate his strategy in the present war. The "Echo de Beige" (Belgian) wonders whether Von der Goltz really died of typhus. It points out'that'Lis death occurred immediately after the fall of Trebizond, for which he was personally responsible. The French Press thinks that his death and the fall of Trebizond will probably spell the ruin of German influence in the East. GERMAN GENERAL COMMANDING AT SMYRNA.
