Berlin.-Some interesting sidelights
on the career of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg are contained in a biog-
raphy of the leader of Germany's
eastern forces just issued by his
brother. who takes the pen name
Bernhard Won Burgdorn."
The future hero of all Germany
fought through the war Of 1866 and
later the Franco Prussian war. In
cluded in the book are letters sent by
Won Hindenburg to his parents from
the front. Shortly before the begin
ming of the war of 1866, Hindenburg
wrote:
1T is high time for the linden
burgs to smell powder. Our family
has been singularly neglected in that
respect"
Less than a week later he wrote:
Sorry as / am for not having had
an opportunity to see you once more

full and most honorable death; II am

In another letter written few days
later Hindenburg says:

Soon after this was written linden
burg came within an inch of being
killed. He describes his experience
as follows:
"A bullet pierced the eagle on my
helmet, struck my head without
wounding me severely and came out
behind the eagle. fell unconscious;
my men gathered around me. thinking
me dead. Half an inch deeper and the

A vivid description of the feelings
of a soldier during his first battle is
given in another letter as follows:
IF I had to describe the feelings
that permeated my soul just before the
battle would say they were these:
