able.
Amsterdam, Aug. 4 (via London) -
The appointment of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to the supreme COM
mand on the Eastern front is hailed by
the German papers as a masterful
stroke.
The Hamburger Nachrichten saws:
"A desire long since cherished by our
people, but never directly expressed,
is now fulfilled. In the present crisis
on the Eastern front the consolidation
Of the army groups was a necessity.
All commanders of the Eastern armies
will ungrudgingly submit to Field
Marshal Won Hindenbgrg's authority"
The Koelniche VoIks Zeitung saws:
-"Germanys confidence in her army
leaders in the East was never shaken
but the appointment of Won linden
burg incr eases this confidence to cer-
tainty."
