pendence, could not stay his further
progress.
At the beginning Of the war he was
beaten, as he had fOreseen, for he had
been ordered to hold the line that was
untenable. When he had been sew
eral times seriously defeated, he In
formed the general staff that he re-
quired no further instructions, but
would fight In accordance with his own
plans. 1t was then that he began to
clear the province, and finally, by the
crushing defeat at the Masurian lakes,
he smashed Russia's military activity
for at least twelve months.
Gets Crown Princes Supplies.
He has never bowed the knee to the
Camarilla. According to the calcula.
lions of the general stan, the German
troops were to hibernate In the large
cities of Russia, but their winter quar-
ters proved to be the frozen fields. No
provision for skin coats had been
made, and, In spite Of the heavy de-
liveries that were being sent to the
Camarilla generals on the western
front, Hindenburg obtained no salts

sitions.

signment, which he ordered to be

which were then at Thorn. The horri.
fed official Informed him that the
skins were for the army OF the crown
prince, and therefore could not be
taken away. Hindenburg swore
volume OF oaths, and In the end OBJ
tanned them.
Some Of the great character traits
Of Hindenburg are his piety, his love
for the fatherland and his faithful.
ness to the kaiser. When he was
young lieutenant he used to carry the
New Testament In his breast pocket.
This saved his life during the Franco
German war. A bullet struck the book
but did not penetrate all the pages.
1t Is well-known fact that In the
church of Glauwitz Hindenburg prayed
aloud for victory. Hindenburg's pri-
vate life Is absolutely clean. He new
er played cards or drank excessively
and he hardly ever smoked.
Hindenburg never speaks OF fate or
luck. He does not talk about genius,
but he believes that God helped him.
God helped me to gain victory, and
the kaiser gave me the soldiers, he
made me commander, he trusted me.
Be grateful to God and the kaiser,
do not thank me-" Is what he told the
people of East Prussia when they
came to thank and praise him as their
deliverer.

burg, who became famous early In the.
war by winning the two great battles
In East Prussia and twice throwing
back the Russian invaders, more Is
known than of Mackensen and hun
dreds Of reams have been written
about him.
He has always shown himself quite
independent of the great general staff,
of which he Is now the head.
He was ever a man Of mystery and
scarcely known outside military cir
cles when the war began.
In army circles he was called "der
verruckte Hinter den Burg" (the in
sane one behind the burg) sportive
play on his name. II Is even limited
the supposedly omniscient great gen.
eral staff once printed behind his name
in the secret army list the blue cross
that denotes incompetence and is the
precursor Of an early relegation to the
despised reserve.
On one point Hindenburg was de-
cidedly mad, and that was his study of
East Prussia. In order to be free from
military restriction he requested his
dismissal, that he might the more con-
veniently study the topography Of the
frontier. Often he could be seen wan.
dering lonesomely along some by-path,
unsafe by reason Of border smugglers,
a towering, mastery, brooding figure.
He devoted years TO his beloved
study and when his plans were COM
pleted he retired to Karlsbad, where
he wrote a little red book entitled
1.-THE Collapse" which was circulated
only among the members of the war
council and his few private friends.
In this book he wrote:
"Our East Prussian frontier seems
strong but is weak. No army can hold
1t. The natural boundaries are either
from Danzig through Posen to Rati-
Dor, or the present Russian fortified
line, that is from Riga to Kracow. II
is for you to decide"
Since then the great general staff
has made known Its decision. On the
publication of his booklet, Hindeuburg
came into his own, and even the Ca

Underwood viii Urge Settle
ment Of Wage Disputes
Through !. C. C.
SAYS STRIKE is IMPOSSIBLE
Car Shortage Has Shown Need
for Legislative Improvement,
He Asserts.

Prepared to urge more strongly
than ever the idea that the wages Of
the railroad employees of the country
should be fxed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, just as the affairs
of the railroads are regulated by that
body, Senator Underwood of Alabama
has arrived in Washington for the
opening of the railroad inquiry Mon.
day by the joint Congressional com.
mittee, of which he Is a member.
Senator Underwood supported such
a plan last session. Now, with the
railroad wage controversy once more
imminent, he IL more than ever con-
WINGED It should be adopted.
"As ] said before the Senate last
session." said Senator Underwood,
the public interest in the railroads
of'the country is supreme. 1t is
greater than that of the managers or

strike In this country is impossible.

public simply cannot tolerate the in.

would cause"
VIII Take Up Labor Question.
The joint committee, which Is to
meet Monday, will take up the rail-
road wage and labor problem, in the
opinion of Senator Underwood.
THAT IL one OF the questions IL was
supposed to consider" said he. "Of
course, the scope OF the inquiry OF the
committee Ia of the broadest kind. 1t
includes the railroad labor problem,

Urges Arbitration Court.
THE men being prevented from

them something in return. As see it
there should be some permanent
court of arbitration to settle wage
questions, and the Interstate Com
merce Commission is the body which
seems to me best fitted for the pur-
pose"
Everywhere, according to Senator I'm
derwood, there is interest In the railroad
situation. The car shortage, he said
had impressed on the business men and
Shippeprs OF his state the need for legis-
lation which would tend to improve con-
ditions.

to make as of the very highest impor-
lance" said Senator Underwood. Pub

or the alternative will be Government

tee which In about to sit will center pub

The Elderly safety Pin.

The safety pin and the hook and eye
are generally supposed to be modern
inventions. The former, in fact, has
been credited to Queen Victoria She
may have Improved upon it, but GER
tain1y she is not entitled to the dis
finction Of having Invented it. Nu-
merous specimens Of the useful con-
trIvance have been found In the ruins
of Crete. Some of them are in the
museum OF the University of Pennsy1-
'vania, and the museum has also a
hook and eye from the same place.
Both the safety pins and the hook
and eye now in the museum were
made ait least 800 hundred years be-
fore Christ. Some are made of bronze,
but amber or some other material was
often used on the more elaborate pins.
Some were even made Of finely
wrought gold--Youth's Companion.

THE SMITH-MURRAY co.
His Magic Bank Account.

At one time the famous author Rud.
yard Kipling always used to pay HE
bills. no matter how small they hap
pened to be, by check. After awhile
he discovered, to his amazement, that
his banking account showed a much
bigger balance than the counterfoils of
his check book warranted. In fact, al
though he was drawing checks for
small amounts almost daily, his money
at the bank did not seem to dwindlu
in the least.
For a long time he was at loss to
account for this astonishing fact until
one day, happening to visit an Office
where the principal was an enthusiastic
autograph collector, he saw one of his
own checks framed and hanging on
the wall
Then it was that the mystery was
solved. It appeared that the local shop.
keepers found that they could get more
for Kipling's checks by selling them to
autograph hunters than they coulE by
cashing them at the bank, and thus it
was that, although the author kept ON
drawing money his capital remained
almost stationary.
