VOn Hindenburg Dead Following
 Violent Outburst

(Continued From Page One) suffering from an acute nervous dis ease. The newspaper declared it hao learned from a reliable source that his mental capacity was much anected and that he was confined in a private sanitarium. It added that the field marshal had taken no re- sponsible part in the offensive on the western front.
 At the outbreak of the war Field Marshal Von Hindenburg was a gen eral in retirement. He was credit ed with evolving and carrying out the campaign against the Russians in East Prussia which resulted in a ser ious Russian defeat at Tannenburg, for which he was promoted to field marshal. He continued to command the German forces on the Russian front until August 30, 1916, when he was appointed chief of the general staff in succession to Gen. Von Fall kenhayn. When he became chief of the general staff Gen. Ludendorff, who had acted as his chief of staff on the Russian front, came with him as his right hand man with the title of chief quartermaster general.
 Field Marshal Paul Beneckendorff und Von Hindenburg was 70 years old last September 2S.
 The newspaper Les Nouvelles, which reports the death of the Ger man leader, is a newspaper in the French language published in The Hague.
 The violent interview between Von Hindenburg and Emperor William occurred on May 16, Les Nouvelles says. It was followed by an apopIec- tic stroke which ultimately resulted in the field marshaTs death. The newspaper says it's informa- ton was obtained from good sources in the occupied district of Belgium.

BASTILE DAY
 PROGRAM AT THE
 PARK TOMORROW

Through the activity of the Bridge port War bureau this city will join in spirit with the French in celebration Of Bastile day tomorrow and thus re- turn the compliment that was paid to the United States 10 days ago in the observance by France and our allies of Independence day, July 4. Bastile day is to France fhat the Fourth of July is to America. It marks the an- niversary of the fall of the great medieval prison which was the em- blem of tyranny and oppression. There, on July 14, 1789, France lighted the torch of liberty which 1t has kept burning against European absolu- tism.
 All over the United States tomorrow tribute will be paid to the sister re- public which accepted the gage of battel and has remained unconqurede battle and has remained unconqurede horde. As French blood and treasure were poured out that Ameria might try the first great experiment in self government, so American blood and treasure are being poured into France that democracy may not perish from the earth.' It Is in recognition of that kindred spirit of liberty that ac- tuates both nations that the United States tomorrow rejoices with the French in Bastile day.
 During the concert at Seaside park tomorrow night a brief 1ntermlssion will give opportunity for the War Blu reau program, which opens with the singing of the "Marsellaise'' by Jo- ceph Wieler, the audience joining in the chorus. Mayor Wilson will intro duce Father Masicotte, pastor of St. Anthony's French R. c. church, as chairman, and Father Masicotte will speak briefly, and present the Rev. A. c. Campbell of the Washington Park M. E. church, one of the U. S. Ship ping board speakers, who will deliver the principal Bastile day address. Community singing of America" and 'The Star Spangled Banner" led by St. Johns church choir, will close the exercises, after which the band con- cert wil be resumed.
