C. Banks, and son srg este] VON HINDENBURG DIES THIS MORNING (Continued from Page One) Germany, which in the meantime had become a‘republic, The death of Friederich Ebert, first presi- dent of the republic, caused grave concern among the proponents of that form of government. They, as well as the conservatives, re- ceived with consternation the an- nouncement that von Hindenberg had consented to run for presi- dent. . The old warrior, upon taking office and in a short time there- after, not only convinced the skeptical that their fears were groundless, but proved a disap- pointment to the monarchists and die-hards, Well Liked As President As President von Hindenburg} he was the type of man who ap- pealed to patriotic Germans by reason of their belief that he em- bodied all the stern Germanic vir-| tues—virile strength combined! with an unswerving devotion to} duty and great singleness of pur- pose. It was said of him that not! THE KEY cisions and acts of Great ored| quarters since August 29, 1916, and also that all proclamations | and orders of his Majesty, the Em- peror and King, concerning the waging of warfare, were issued upon my advice and upon my Fo: | sponsibility. I beg you, therefore, to inform the German people and the Allied governments of this declaration.” Von Hindenburg resigned com- mand of the German army June, 1919, and once more retired, at 72. No one, least of all him- self, had the faintest notion that he would ever be called upon to succeed Ebert, “the saddler presi- | dent,” who died in February,/| 1925. After the parties of the right! had been convinced by the pri-| mary election returns in March,/ 1925, :that their candidate, Lord Mayor Jarres of Duisburg, could not win in the finals, Admiral Al-' fred von Tirpita insisted that the only man in Germany who could} defeat Wilhelm Marx, the candi- date of Centrists, Socialists and Democrats, was “der Alte’”—the | Grand Old Man of Germany.

The union was 0 coming an ideal officer’s wife. She died in 1921. A son, Oscar, and two daughters, Irmengard and Annemarie, were born to them. both daughters married officers. President von Hindenburg was a grandfather many times over. Had Wide Experience Von Hindenburg’s actual ex- perience in battle previous to the great world conflict was gained in the Austro-Prussian and the Franco-Prussian wars, In addition to the national hon. ors that were conferred upon him for -his great victory at Tannen- berg in the World War, von Hin- denburg received honorary de- grees from nine German univer: sities and was made a freeman of as many-university towns. Koenigsberg, the capital of the liberated province of East Pr ja, conferred upon him a doctorate in all four faculties for “having com- pletely defeated and expelled the Muscovite hordes, thereby saving the German people from barbarism and achieving imperishable fame.” | Tannenberg - was followed a! week later by the battle of the Mazurian Lakes which definitely} disposed of the Russian menace! to Germany’s eastern border, Then } by a series of skillful moves, he} defeated the Russians again at} Lodz, Poland.

There the victor of Tannenberg presented the facts that resulted in the armistice pro-| posal to the Allies by Germany, | and it was he who conducted the! difficult task of withdrawing the disspirited German forces back} home and placed the army at the} disposal of the revolutionary gov-| rnment.
