Won KLUcK is RETIRED
German Commander Who Failed to
Take Paris


Berlin, via London, Oct 19.-Field
Marshal Alexander II. r. Won Kluck,
who commanded the right wing of the
German army in its sweep toward Par
is in the fall of 1914, has beer placed
on the retired list at his own request.
He had never returned to the front
since he was wounded by shrapnel in
March. 1915. The field marshal was
20 years old last May.
Field Marchal Won Kluck, who led
the first German army up TO within
thirty miles of Paris, was the most
conspicous German officer in the early
part of the war. He led the German
advance into France and swept on to-
ward Paris until the Fernch capital
was moved to Bordeaux, and it SEEM
ed certain that the city would have to
stand siege
Then, when it seemed as If no hui
man power could stop the advance,
the tide began to turn. Won Kluck
veered to the east instead of continu-
ing in a direct line toward Paris. In
the latter part of September, 1914, the
advance was checked slightly, the Al
lies pushed the German line back just
little and then on September % the
Germans began to march land.
The French followed up their Slight
gains with an army that came out
from Paris in taXicabs, touring cars
andauto trucks, and struck at Won
Kluck's flank. driving him back across
the Marne in one of the great battles
of modern warfare. In all that retire
ment of the German forces Won Kluck's
command, which was the right wing
of the advance, became the buffer for
the violent attacks OF the Allies.
Gen. Won Kluck was severely criti-
cised when the tide turned against
him for not pushing his advance
straight on into Paris. His critics
said he felt so sure that he would lead
an army of occupation into Paris with
in a week that he relaxed and rested
for day, and on that day the Allies
gained their foothold to strike back
successfully. He has been quoted as
saying Just before the battle of the
Marne that he would be in Paris with
in eight days.
Gen. Won Kluck is said to have been
wounded in March, 1915, by recklessly
exposing himself after stormy inter
view with Emperor William. 1t was
reported last August that he was soon
ia take command on the eastern front.
His son. Lieut.. Egon Won Kluck, was
reported killed at Middelkarke early
in 1915
Gen. Won Kluck was born in Muen.
ster, Germany, May 20, 1916, and en-
tered the army in 1876 He fought
in the war with Austria in 1866 and
in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
In the Franco-Prussian war he was
wounded twice. He has an iron cross
of the second class.
