HINDENBuRC'S TRICKS
DELIGHT TO GERMANS

BERLIN, June 18.-A favorite pas
time of patriotic Germans at present
is to tell stories Of the ruses by which
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, whose
popularity is undiminished. deceived
the Russians during the campaign In
East Prussia.
One of his tricks was to change the
entire topography Of the districts In
front OF the enemy.
After having transformed the old
roads into fields, he laid out new
roads across the former fields. This
new topography was recorded on mil
ttary maps which were then intention
ally lost near the Russian outposts
and the Russian armies advanced
along the roads which Hindenburg had
prepared for them carefully, marking
the exact range of each part of them
for the benefit Of the Prussian artil-
lery.
