GERMANY’S TROUBLES.

CENTRAL POWER STRENGTH. THE MEN NOW AVAILABLE. Received 10.20 NEW YORK Sept 11. Advices from Parts state that Germany had fourteen million men at the beginning of the war whereof 10,600,000 have since served. There^are now 5£ millions at the various fronts, while millions represent casualties, prisoners and the missing. AN ENORMOUS SENSATION. PROFOUND EFFECT ON ELECTIONS. LONDON, September 10. The "Daily Chronicle’s” Stockholm corespondent says that the revelations caused an enormous sensation in Stockholm. The effect on the elections now in progress will be profound, perhaps decisive. M. Branting, interviewed, said there was no need to call attention to the extreme gravity of the charge. If Hoewen cannot clear himself of assisting German representatives in their amiable business of marking down ships for disappearance, he has been irretrievalby compromised and cast a stain on Sweden’s reputation as an impartial neutral.
