Field Marshal Count von Gottlieb Haeseler is called the father of the modern German army.'' He is severn ty-eight years old and is in active service at the front as a member of the general staff of the German crown prince. He has served with great dis tinction in the German army since he was a boy, fighting in the war against Denmark in 1864, against Austria in 1S86, and in the war against France in 187O-71. When the present war broke out Coun von Haese1er went to the kaiser and said: -Four majesty, lost rib in France in the war of 187O-71. I want to go back now and get it." He comes from an old Prus- sian noble family, all the male mem bers of which had served their kings for years. He is given credit for founding the German army on the lines laid down by the elder won NIo4tke.
