HINDENBERG PUT ONE BILL SHEPHERD RELATES HITHERTO UNKNOWN STORY OF THE CAMPAIGN IN THE EAST WOVER ON BERLIN WAR OFFICE CRITICS By William G. Shepherd PRZEMYSL, Austria, — (By Mat! to New York.)—1 have had Sn Insight into some of the af- fairs which have Greatest interest and excite Ment in the German war office. Just as this war In itself out- @oes fiction, so some of the Scenes that have occurred tn the war offices have outrun tm- Agination. There have been moments so exciting that even the staidest generals have cheered aloud in their offices. An Instance of this was the @ccasion when Gen. Von Hin- Genders, whose name has since Become world famous, was re Stored to the army. Perhaps it is not generally Kriown that Hindenberg and the kaiser were personal enemies, It ts the truth, however, The kaiser bimself put Htn- @enbderg on the pension list six Years ago in a fit of a Against him. Hindenberg heartbroken; at 67 years of Bis career seemed smashed. ‘When the war broke out the kaiser ordered lists should be Prepared, including the name of every general who might help Germany Hindenberg’s name was not put on the list. The kalser noticed the omission “Where's Hindenberg?” he asked. “Germany needs him.” That was one of the first surprises the war office sus tained. But a greater surprise was tn store for the men in the big stone butiding In Berlin in con- nection with this same Hinden- berg. Hindenberg has been a one {dea man throughout his life. Every German general in the War office is a speciclist on Some tactic or plan, but Hin- denberg was considered almost “queer” in regard to a certain plan he had for crushing a Rus- sian force in Eastern Prussia. He had figured when he was & young officer that, if Germany and Russia ever fought each ether and tha’ if Russian troope started Berlin by way of Eastern Prussia, and that, If on their march they got mear Konigsberg or Tannen- berg, that if he were in charge of German troops in Eastern Prussia—if al! these “ifs” came true, he woul lor caused the in German court circles for staking his career and his place in German military history on such a slim and, apparently, impracticable chance. He was called “Swampy Hin- donde by hia intimates, Many of his holidays he spent | | | in the lake country in Bastern Pruss! tudying the ground, There was not a mudhole tn the area that he did not know; ite width, Its depth, the nature of the oarth around it, Paet ern Prussia swampa were his lite study TAMMANY CHIEF AND HiS INDIAN BRIDE ARE HONEYMOONING AT PALM BEACH, FLA.
