Berlin. - Hindenburg, Mackensen,
Observation-Disclosures are the names to
conjure with in Germany today. Into
the hands of three masters OF war,
tried in the awful fire Of the last two
years, the kaiser has committed the
greatest military machine in the world
and all lesser chieftains now bow
down before them.
There comes time in titanic strug-
giles when dictators become impera.
tive. Great leaders give way to the
greatest. A Grant or Napoleon Of in
exOrable will curbs the mighty and
fuses all the vast forces of a nation
into united effort.
That is Germany's situation today.
Encircled by the iron band" Of enc
mics the kaiser has sacrificed even the
astute Won Falkenhayn, who himself
succeeded the clever Won Moltke in the
early days of the war and for two
years had been head Of the great gen.
eral staff. Now he in turn must yield
place to more splendid genius, Hin
denburg.
Hindenburg is the great rock on
many and her allies center. Luden-
dorff is his ''alter ego," his second self,
his understudy, who stands by his side
watching with eagle eye ready to polish
and round off his chiefs plans.
Mackensen is the thunderbolt, the
master of offensives, the mail-clad fist
with which Hindenburg strikes. He is
now in charge Of the desperate situa-
ton around Roumania, where he is at
tempting to shock Germany's latest en-
envy by such a smashing blow from
the south that the ROumanian attacks
on other sides will weaken.
German soldiers often call Macken-
sen "the Archangel Michael with
flaming sword" Teuton officers taken
prisoner in Russia recently told "Pe-
troff," the famous war correspondent
Of the Russkoe Slovo, how he made
score of Austrian generals cover be-
fore him and how he burned q message
from the kaiser.
Petroff describes two war councils
held by Mackensen this summer. The
first took place at Kovel, 10 Austrian
generals Of high rank being present.
"At the opening of the sitting" says
Petroft, "Prince Leopold Of Bavaria,
especially sent by the kaiser, handed
to Won Mackensen a letter from the
kaiser. Won Mackensen rose to his
feet and began to read the important
document. Prince Leopold also stood
up. Won Mackensen read in silence,
becoming pensive, often frowning. 1t
was evident that the letter contained
numerous questions, and that Prince
Leopold knew their order and char
acter. While Won Mackensen was
reading Prince Leopold was actually,
as it were, counting every expression
on the face of the Carpathian ar
changed. AS he read, Won Mackensen
sometimes paused to think over the
question dealt with in the letter, re-
plying with determination and reso-
luton, Yes At other moments he
uttered resolute NO. Prince Leo
pOld marked these down.
No Answer to Kaiser.
"Having finished reading, Won Mack
ensen again became pensive, closed
his eyes, and shook his head. Then
he rolled the letter up and lighted
it at gas burner used for the pur-

GREAT TRIuMV|RATE NOW RULES

Years, the German Emperor Has Committed the Con-

"At the conclusion of the official de-
alterations Mackensen frankly told the
Austrian generals it was in their in
terests to obey the German general
staff.

country from INVASION said he, you
should at least obey those who have

"When the Austrians had left, Mack

Motor 1rucks to Market.

Motor Trucks to Market.
With the possible exception Of the
territory around Boston, motor trucks
are now giving better service In South
New Jersey than in any other part OF
the country. That is noted farm and

miles to market night after night, and
out of all this may come q partial solu-
ton of transportation troubles. 1t Is
very doubtful if there will ever be an
other extended trolley line built in
New Jersey, because the auto pas
senger service will take its place. Mo-
tor truck service will, in like manner,
absorb more and more of express and
freight traffic and do it cheaper and
with better satisfaction to the shipper.

paper in his hand until it burnt to

Mackensen remained silent.

moved from active service as they
were not capable enough. Some of
the Austrian commanders asked If
there was any hope of clearing the
Russians from Austrian territory, as
had previously been done.
Work In Perfect Accord.
"'Our emperor answered Macken-
sen, is not carrying on war merely for
military glory. Neither is war being
waged for gaining pieces Of territory,
but solely for the defense Of our fa-
therland. You must leave it to us to
decide what must and what can be
dOne.'"
This would indicate that linden
burg and Mackensen work in per-
feet accord at present. OF linden
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) a sportive
play on his name. It 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 RELOCATION 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,
q 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
"The Collapse" which was circulated
only among the members Of the war
council and his few private friends.
Tn thiS hook no wrote:
"Our East Prussian frontier seems
strong but is weak. No army can hold
it. The natural boundaries are either
from Danzig through Posen to Rati-
Dor, or the present Russian fortified
line, that is from Riga to kracow. 1t
is for you to decide"
Since then the great general staff
has made known it's decision. On the
publication of his booklet, Hindenburg
came into his own, and even the Ca
marilla, who hated him for his indie
