Smith, the game and fish commissioner of the state, le enumerated in the list such personal shortcomings as malfeasance, insubordination, oliscene language, lying, drunk- enness, along with other official misdemeanors. that placed Mr, Smith in the totally undesirable class, fit only to be cast out of decent Democratic society, The goyernor requested that Mr. Smith at once file his resignation as fish and game com- missioner and remove his presence from the state house. After a mere stall at refusal to comply, Mr. Smith came forward with the resignatios, By vacating the office, Mr. Smith acknowledged that each and several, the governor's charges were true, and that he had no defense against the naging evidence in the hands of the governor. So much for the 1 . The sequel has more of amusement and less of tragedy in it. Immediately upon receiving Mr. Smith’s resignation of an office, he was unfit to hold, he was appointed a deputy com- missioner, with headquarte t Dubois, where he is now sery- ing the state he had, according to the governor's acet ation, so sadly dishonored, Now arises this question in the minds of the people. If Mr. Smith was guilty of the things that unfitted him for the commissioner's office, do those samt things qualify him for a deputyship, with almost equal powers, and opportunity to exercise the same old malfeasance, insubordination, lying, ob- scene language and drunkenness? There seems to be a slight inconsistency somewhere. Gerard's Opinion James W, Gerard, America’s war time ambassador to Ger- many, says, and he onght to kne “Europe will become once more an armed camp if Von Hindenburg remains in power. If I were u German I would have voted for Von Hindenburg, he will unite the factions in Germany, put down the Reds, face the Soviet and raise hell with the Allies.” From the War Zone from the Haw n front are conflicting.

S WHO IN_ THE DAY NEWS As Germany, in 1916, turned to Gen. Von Hindenburg as the one soldier capable of leading the forces of the central powers to so today, the same {m- perlal jeaders are attempting to induce the German people to place its faith once more inthe aged, field marshal. After long hesitation and two refus- als, the Mon- archists’ “man of nails" has bowed to the will of his kal- ser and his Be) party. .On Mar- VON HIRDENBURG = shal Von Hin- denburg's -shouldera rests the re- sponsibiiity of leading Germany. Paul Von Beneckendorff and Hin- denburg was born at Posen (then Ea Prussia). in 1847. His mill- tary career which was to extend over a period of three scote years, began in 1859, when he was a boy of 12 and entered a school for cadets. He took part in the wars of 1866 against Austria, and of 1870 against France. In the latter he won promotion. From that time he continued in the German army, slowly and persistently pushing his way to higher rank. - His ability brought him finally to the rank of Keneral and In this office he be- came a close friend of Kaiser Wil- heim. However, in 1911, a dispute arose between them and Gen, Hin- denburg retired from active service. His retirement was short-lived. In 1914 Wilhelm II turned to Hin- denburg as one of the commanders capable of taking charge of an army. He was given the 8th Army # sent to the eastern frontier, where he won his first victories against the Russians, particularly at Tannenburg. In 1915 he was made commander-in-chief of the eastern front and he directed the offensive against Warsaw. Stl higher honors came when he was made field marshal and then chief of the general staff, in which posi- tion he took the place of General Von Falkenhayn. From this time Hindenburg and Ludendorff were the directing powers of the Ger- man military forces, Hidenburg rose to immense popularity. Throughout the country he was hailed as the finest type of Ger- man. To him had been entrusted the destiny of the country and the people were confident of the, out- come. In Berlin a colossal wooden statue of Hindenburg was set up and it became almost an idol for the public; on payment of a cer- tain subscription Germans were per- mitted to drive a nail into the figure, the intention being to cover the entire plece until it became the true man of iron that {t represented, Hence the sobriquet “The Man of Nails.” Fame of another character came with the establishment of the “Hindenburg Line,” a defensive front of trenches, fortifications, barbed wire entanglements and ar- tillery emplacements that stretched from a point near “Ostend clear across to the Swiss border. The “line” was looked upon as inpreg- nable, capable of resisting every assault. Marshal Foch proved the contrary in 1918, Forced to accept the terms of the armistice that followed his defeat, Marshal Von Hindenburg submitted his resignation from the army on March 4, 1919, to President Ebert. It was accepted and when the peace treaty was signed in June 27, 1919, the old commander withdrew into Private life in Hanover. On July 9 of that year he made a grand gesture by volunteering to be judged in place of the kaiser, his sovereign and almost his god. His only: par- ticipation in political fe came in 1920, when he stood for the presi dency of the Reich and was de- feated.
