BRILLIANT RISE OF
MILITARY HERO.
Gen. Paul Won Beneckendorff and
Hindenburg received his marshals
baton from the Kaiser about two
months ago for defending the Rus
sian border. This had added to a
notable history OF military service
for Germany. He Is a native of
Posen. continuing long line of
army officers in his family. His
father. Robert Won Beneckendorff
and Hindenburg, had served as
Major. The son early chose an
army career and to that end had
training ut a military academy.
Ever since Paul Won Benecken-
dorff and Hlndenburg entered the
army, which he did in 1866 as
Lieutenant. he has been known af-
fectionately as one of the old guard,
first and last soldier. In his very
first year Of service he was at the
front in the war with Austria,
In this campaign. at the second
hattie of Trautenau on June 2S, he
distinguished himself in the sue
cessful assault of the village Soor,
by the first division of the third
Prussian foot guards. Tho division
was under command of Gen. Hitler
Won Gaertringen. The following
day the young Lieutenant was con-
spicuous in the taking of Koenigs-
hof by the same guard division.
Within week he was in another
engagement, the battle Of Koenig-
graetz.
Lieutenant Hindenburg served
through the Franco Prussiail War,
beginning in 1870. His regiment,
which was first engaged at the bat
ties of st. ,Privat and Sedan. became
part Of the army which besieged
Paris. For extraordinary conduct
during these campaigns he was dec

Owing TO the massing Of large bod
les men in the trenches, and the lack
of bathing facilities and clean cloth
ing, many severe cases of infection
have developed among the wounded.
In Belgium, especially, where the
trenches have been dug In a soil that
has for generations been heavily ma
nured for market gardening, the per-
centage Of infection is very high. In
comparison with other wars there is
also much higher proportion Of
shell and shrapnel wounds, due to the
increased use of artillery.
A new type of wound is that pro-
duced by the darts dropped from
