PENSIONED BY Angry RULER
Remarkable Story of the Fall ano
Rise OF Gernany's Most Popular
GeneraI-Kaieer Forced to
Recall Him.

New York.-A wooden merchant of
this city has just returned from tour
of Germany, Austria and Holland, and
to a party Of his friends who had
luncheon with him he said that what
impressed him most in Germany was
the tremendous popularity of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. Every shop
window, every dwelling, every theater,
hotel, cafe and restaurant is placard-
ed with his picture. Plays, dishes,
children are named after him, and in
the street when his name is mentioned
in the course of conversation men lift
their hats.
Made Kaiser Prisoner.
"The story of Won Hindenburg's fall
and rise" said he, lis told with much
gusto. 1t appears that not very long
before the present war started the
kaiser and Won Hindenburg engaged
in sham battle during the regular
army maneuyers not far from the
Russian border. The kaiser was ut
terly defeated by Won Hindenburg's
strategy and maneuvers. Finally, Won
Hindenburg approached the kaiser
and said, Your majesty, you are my
prisoner
"The kaiser was furious and openly
showed his state CT mind. Shortly
after Vesl EinGeDhurg was pensiGned,
and the general belief was thst he
was on the shelf. However, they could
not keep him down. When the war
started Von Hindenbuvg wrote per-
sonal letter to the kaiser requesting
a command. To this she kaiser paid
NO attention. Influential friends, in
serceded Cor him, bUE to no agail.
Finally, when the Russians were on
the point of breaking through the
German lines, Won Hindenburg's Game
was again placed before the kaiser as
the only military man in Germany
who knew every inch of territory
along the Russian border. The kaiser
relented a&d placed him in comEand.
When Won Hfndcnburg received word
Of his command, he was dining in
little restaurant in Berlin. He did
aot stop I'd finish his, dinner, big left
at once f,w headquarters, laid cat his
plans and wired his Cs.lers, constituting
60 do SO as his train sped to the east
ern front. He made good-ss good
that he stands now even ablge the
Kaiser i1 the empire."
Ne Evidence of Suffering.
= liz
business man says that he nyticed no
evidence of suffering. He stopped at
the best hotels in the cities and never
paid more than FIVE MARKS a day.
While the menus were somewhat re-
strictad, especially regarding meas,
still, there was plenty to eat, and no
one need go hungry.
Il witnessed an interesting little in
ci3ent in Nuremberg" he said. 81
saw so French prisoners escorted
through the city by two German sol
dlers. They were showing them the
sights, stopping every now and then
to point out some particular historic
building. These German soldiers
spoke French flucntly, and the prison
ers were enjoying their experience
immensely. I was surprised to note
that there is no bitterness against the
French. Paradoxical as it may seem,
the Germans are very friendly to
them, even though at war with them.
There is veritable Niagara Of hatred,
however, against the EnglisE."

STRENGTHEN THE GREEN FRUIT

In national government, as in all

at least, hating the fluent and logical
cooperation of the nations brain

An Ad Mans Story.

During a convention of ad writ
ers held here some one told the
following:
"A man entered shop one cold
day and bought a wooden muffler.
When he opened the muffler he
found inside the photograph of a
beautiful girl with a note couch
ed in these terms:
If you are single please
write to me-
"A name and address followed,
and the man smiled. He was
single. He placed the photo on
his library table In a week he
had fallen in love with the pic
ture of the beautiful girl. So he
wrote to her.
"A week passed, during which
the bachelor was in fever of
Impotence. Finally he received
this terrific blow in the shape of
a letter:
Dear Sir: The Mary Jones
to whom you wrote was my grand
mother. She died nine years ago,
aged 81. Yours truly
Upon investigating this un-
usual case the broken hearted
bachelor discovered that he had
purchased the muffler from a
dealer who did not advertise.

MAYOR EpoEcoMe
REFUSES TO RUN.

The many friends of Mayor
Elgecomb have been urging him
to come out in the primaries for
representative from this county
on permenent roads platform,
claiming that they could secure
his nomination, without Il doubt,
and the chances very favorable
for his election, but Mr.. Edgecomb
has refused, flatly, to become a
candidate While he is heart and
soul in sympathy with the goods
roads movement which is sweep
ing the country and thinks our
representative, whoever he may
be, should be likewise, he still
refuses to run on the grounds
that he is not seeking political
honors, but prefers to remain at
home and enjoy life in his own
way after years of good hard
work. Mr.. Edgecomb would make
an ideal candidate, as he has the
confidence OF the people, is a
thorough business man in every
sense of the word and is keenly
alive to the issues of the day, but
ia person cannot deny his right
to enjoy his declining years of
life in peace and quiet rather
than in the turmoil and strife of
the political game.

It was the greatest gathering
Madison Square garden has ever
!seen. Many women were in the
throng.
Willard broke his right hand
in the third round, but little
blows from his fighting left kept
Moran at a distance. Moran's
best round was the third and his
worst probably was the seventh.
He was bleeding after the fifth
round, and his left eye was al
most closed at the end.
Willard was rushed TO the
ropes in the third and received
blow after blow on the face. The
|crowd sensed a knockout, but the
finishing punch was lacking.

BYRNES IS MAKING

PUSHING HIS FIGHT TO SECURE
ADDITIONAL DEFENSEs FOR
SOUTH CAROLINA COAST.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The efforts
of Congressman Byrnes of South
Carolina to see that the South Caro-.
lima coast is properly defended
against an enemy are being seriously
considered here.
In the plans for a general de-
fense of the Atlantic coast are pre-
parations for the heaviest class of
Notifications at the mouth of the
Chesapeake bay, it has become known
through testimony given before the
Sherley subcommittee Of the appro-
priations committee of the house.
Gen. William Crozier, chief of ordi-
nance of the army, appeared before
that committee yesterday and gave
considerable testimony on the neces-
sity for protecting that waterway.
He described it as one of the several
places where facilities for land op-
erations are so good that it is worth
while to fortify them, especially to

prevent that operation, notwith-
standing they are not places where
great damage can be done by the
guns Of a fleet" a
The general said further, in dis
cussing Chesapeake bay:
eve have Norfolk, defended at
Fort Monroe, Washington very much
over-defended and Baltimore defend
ed. But they (the enemy could
come into Chesapeake bay and estab-
lish base along that shore, then
send an army in any direction. There
are few such points as that" Char
lesion and New Orleans might be
damaged by long range fleet fire, he
said, and 12-inch guns with high an.
gle fire, giving them a range beyond
any guns afloat or contemplated for
navy ships, would answer the de-
tense purposes at such points. At
lantic City and Gloucester, Mass,
similarly might be victims of fleet
fire, he said, but their bombardment
would not injure the nations ability
to continue the war, and it is not
proposed to fortify them.
'It would be deplorable and very
unfortunate for the citizens" he add
ed, "but it is impracticable to defend
the whole coast against damage.
Certain points ere selected for
Notifications where the damage
would be so important as to affect
the fighting ability of the United
States. They are still not protected
against damage which could be done
by bodies of troops landed and
marched over land to one of these
cities.
"The theory is that we have plenty
of people and plenty Of resources to
take care of that condition, if we will
use them. If we will not use them,
there is no way to take care of it."
