1t is said of Paul Won Beneckendorff
und Won Hindenburg, commander in
chief of the German forces in East
Prussia that he is one of the most
skillful strategists now fighting for the
kaiser. Born III lS47, Won Hindenburg
had reached the post of chief of staff
of the Eighth army corps in 1911 and
for three years previous to the present
war had lived in retirement When
the outbreak came he WIS placed in
command OF the kaiser's armies op-
Grating against the forces of the czar.
General Won Hindenburg received
his baptism of fire in the war against
Austria In 1866 in which he distin-
guished himself. For his valor at the
battle of Koeniggraetz. In which he
served as lieutenant, he was decorat-
ed with the order Of the Red Eagle with
crossed swords. This was an honor
quite unprecedented. as the order Is
ordinarily only conferred on officers
of high rank During the Franco
Prussian war he behaved so calamity
at the battle OF Sedan that the order
of the Iron Cross was pinned on his
breast by order Of the emperor.
Since then Won Hindenburg has ad-
vanced through all grades up to his
present rank. In 1900 he was made
major general and three years later
was promoted to lieutenant general
and placed In command of the Fourth
army corps. With appointment tc the
present post came advance to the rank
Of general oberst colonel general. This
is a rank between that Of general and
field marshal. 1t is not held In any 9th
or army than the German.

MILLioNAiRE's SON
FACES MURDER TRIAL

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 5-Malcolm Gif-
ford, Jr., the 19-year-old son of a
wealthy manufacturer of Hudson, N.
Y, will probably be retired here on
the charge of killing Frank J. Clute,
chauffer, on April 1, 1913. The case
Is expected to be set for this months S
term of court. Clifford was tried early
in the summer, but the jury disagreed.
Young Clifford, who was released
a few weeks ago from the Albany PEN
itentiary on bail, is recovering his
health, and his friends state he has
been sent to a private school.
Clute was shot to death while driv-
ing an unidentified man to Troy from
here. The passenger shot Clute In
the back of the head, robbed him.
threw his body into ditch and fed.
The slayer was known to have worn a
gray overcoat and a light fedora hat.
On the same night, April /, 1913,
Clifford, who had been expelled from a
private school month before, but had
never gone home, left the honse of a
friend in Troy, ostensibly TO attend
dance. He was garbed in a dress
suit, a gray overcoat and light fe-
dora hat, it is said. But instead of go
ing to the dance immediately, he dis.
appeared. Clifford later appeared at
the dance. Witnesses who testified
before the grand jury stated that his
clothing was soiled. The next day
II was testified, the youth put his ov
ercoat in one friends suit case, his
hat in another, borrowed a cap and
left for home.
The police found Clifford at Chath
am, Mass, and brought him here to
answer the charge. His parents were
unaware of his predicament until his
arrest. The boy bore good reputa
tion in Hudson, and great deal OF
sympathy is manifested for his par
ents.

The Government Fisheries Bureau is
anxious to Introduce to American din
ner tables the "shing frog" a finny
delicacy, which up to the present has
been neglected largely because the
creature is not pretty to look at.
The fishing frog" is also known as
the "goosefish." 1t attains length
over three feet. 1t is a bottom fish,
and feeds largely upon founders, soul
pins, starfishes and crabs. Nearly all
mouth and stomach, it can swallow a
fish nearly as large as itself, and,
though a clumsy swimmer, it often
captures by surprise even birds and
mammals at the surface of the water.
There is authentic record of the TAX
Ing, OF seven wild ducks from the stom-
acn OF one of these goosefishes, whose
greediness may be inferred from the
fact that in Massachusetts Bay they
annoy fishermen by swallowing the
wooden buoys attached to lobster pots.
They are very common all along the
North Atlantic coast, and are especial
ly remarkable for the means they u.s.
ually adopt to capture prey. The
goosefish is solitary creature Hid

buried in mud with only its mouth pro
truding, it lies in ambush for victims
