stated that neither Of the executives

BY German People.
HIS PRESENCE ON EAST
FRONT EQUAL TO ARMY
Kaiser Meets Crisis Brought About BY
Rumanian Entrance Into War BY
| Putting Most Able General In
Highest Ofiicc.

Berlin, via London, Aug. 29.-Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has been APP
pointed by the Kaiser chief Of the
German general staff to succeed Won
Falkenhyn. who has been dismissed,
This announcement was made to-
night.
The appointment of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg as chief of the Ger
man general staff is the most moment
GUS change made in the Kaiser's mill
tary command since the outbreak OF
moment the Teutonic Empires have
seen since the great conflict began.
Even military critics in the allied
countries have been frank TO concede
throughout the two years of war that
Won Hindenburg was the ahlest mill
tary genius at the Kaiser's command.
In Germany he has been idealized as a
national hero since his victory over
the Russins in the Masurian swamps
early in the war an dwith his victori-
Gus sweep through Western Russia
last fall. he won the admiration OF
the world.
There has been strong movement
afoet in Germany for many months
Kaiser to place Won Hindenburg at
the head OF the general staff, and
powerful influences have been brought
to bear toward that end.
German newspapers. copies of
which reached this country. recently,
indicated between the lines of the
comment by military crHics that
Hindenbufg's presence in Russia in
actual command of the German
armies in the East was more essen
tial than anything else. 1t was point
ed out that Il was chiefly his presence
there and the fear OF his plans that
kept Rumania from siding with the
allies. despite the victories of Gen
eral Bruilon. CAUTIOUSLY enough the
change is made a day after Rumania
has entered into the war.
General Won Falkenhyn has been
chief of the general staff since tho
retirement early in the war of Count
Helmuth Won Moltke, whose illness"
was generally attributed to the out
come OF the Marine battle. The APP
pointment OF Hindenburg In Falken-
hyn's- place is believed TO be less as
punishment for the latter than a
reward for the former. Coupled with
the necessity of having the ablest man
at the head OF the staff In that Of
strengthening the morale Of tho ar

The matter has been agitated for
