The maneuvers, covering prob- lems of attack and defense, pro- vided a further opportunity, Major Dillman wrote, “to demonstrate that airplanes are a great asset to the cavalry in any cooperative mission, both for observation and attack; seriously interfere with cavalry operations in open terrain, espe- clally it friendly aviation §s not available; and that both servicas should be jointly trained im sound and well understood methods and that this training should be part of the annual training program.

Oct. 3. — Presi- dent Paul Von Hindenburg on the occasicn of his eigh- tieth birthday yesterday re- ceived the greatest ovation seen in Berlin since William the First led the German armies through Brandenburg- er Gate in 1871 on their re- turn from the Franco-Prus- sian war. One millirn neo- fi!e lined the streets to greet him, BERLIN, Oct. 3.—The man who‘MExl SULDIERS failed when he led Germany against Democracy and, as para- doxical as ft may seem, the man who “saved Germany for Démo- cracy, celebrated ' his eightieth birthday yesterday. Field Marshal Pau] von Hinden- burg, Commander-in-Chief of the armies of Imperial Germany dur-) ing the World War, and the presi- dent of thé German Republic, de- bpite his four-score ‘years, is to- day the personification of vigor and extraordinary mental endow- ment. Barring Mussolini, he is un- questionably the outstanding fig- ure in Burope today. - It was during the long, arduous years of the Wcrld War, that President von Hindenburg, as lead- er of the allpowerful German army, strove vainly to defeat the cause of Democracy. From the role of a cadet at twenty, a sur- vivor of the famous Lichterfeldt Military school, Von Hindenburg rose to the eminent military posi- tion he held at the time of.the Kaiser's ilifated declaration = of war. His record during that world conflict is now a matter for the historians, 'Thousands of German soldiers went to'their deat@h with his name on their lips.

The city awoke today to find mutiny in' progress. The revolt of the three com- panies was carried out quietly, the mutineers making an orderly march through the streets at the dead of night, The destination of the men is unknown. The exact reason for the revolt fs not knmown although it is thought the mutingers are sup- porting the movement against the reelection of former President Ob- regon, which is being led by Gen- erals Sarrano and Gomez, whose whereabouts are not known.

There are not a few eritics among the Pittsburgh ° expert. who believed the Pirates “stag gered” into the pennant and thnt reaction from their hard fight will be a detriment rather than aid, and that the Yankees, any- way, pack too much of a punch to be checked. But if there is any lack of spirit of confidence in the Pirates, it is not eviden: in remarks of Bush or his team- mates.
