MOSCOW IS ASTONISHED. Triumph Particularly Unwelcome to Russian Communists. By the Associated Press MOSCOW, April 28.—News of the election of Field Marshal von Hin denburg as President of Germany was received with astonishment in Soviet Russia, where people had been led to belfeve that the aged military leader had little chance of success. His tri- umph is especially un-velcome to the Russian Communists. avowed hostility to bolshevisr Some_Soviet leaders profess to see in the Nationalists' victory danger of restoration of the German monarchy and revival of the Teutonic military menace. The belief is even expressed by some that after a few months in office Von Hindenburg may attempt to have the former Crown Prince ap- pointed regent, with the ultimate ol ject of completely restoring the Ge: man crown In other bolshevik circles it is fear- | ed that Communism will be made one of the chief targets of the former war Jords among Von Hindenburg's en- tourage.

PARIS, April 28.—Germany's presi- dential election continues to occupy | the French public to the exclusion of | all else, and the newspapers today | print columns about it, with long ex- tracts of editorial comment from the press of the world. | An analogy is drawn In some politi- cal quarters between the choice of Field Marshal von Hindenburg as| President of the German republic and that of Marshal MacMahon as first President of the French third republic. Like MacMahon, Von Hindenburg is credited with royalist leanings, and the problem of the new flag against the old is expected to occupy him as it did the Frenchman. The- fact that MacMahon succumbed | after forcing the issue to a point re-| quiring new parliamentary elections is pointed to in Socialist and radical cir-| cles as giving hope that Sunday’s elec- | tion may turn out “less disastrously for peace” then they expected.
