Von Waldersee Recall Reported by German Government
The State Department in Washington received a notification from Berlin indicating that Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, on duty in China as commander in chief of allied forces, would be recalled. The message did not mention pulling back Germany’s large Chinese contingent, but officials believe the recalls may align with reducing German forces. There is talk that von Waldersee has sought transport, and no successor has been proposed by Germany or the powers. The United States indicated it would not nominate a candidate for his replacement.
