This method has a double value.
First, it teaches the children that

! Second, it makes them listeners in

be done. 1t is a good plan, when
very young children are allowed to
be at table with guests, to allow them
to have all of their meal at the

The great mistake, made by so

Russian front only the first line men
had guns, the others being armed
with clubs!
All this may have been true. of
course, but the remarkable thing
about it was that the German gov
ernment circulated the reports as
widely as possible, never realizing
apparently, the raw Inconsistency
of enlarging upon the total unpre-
paredness of the English, French
and Russians to wage war while
they obstinately contended that 1t
was the Allies and not the Germans
who started the conflict
Eventually, officers and soldiers
returning from the western front
on furlough or passing through the
country en- route from one front
to the other, brought the report of
the defeat before Paris. Soldiers
who participated in that disastrous
retreat wrote from the new trenches
to their friends and relatives telling
of the terrible experiences they had
undergone, when they went for days
with nothing to eat but raw pota-
toes and turnips which they picked
from the fields.
When these reports finally spread
through Germany the people began
to realize that their generals in the
west were not meeting with the
same success that Won Hindenburg
had had in the east and Won Hin
denburg became the idol of the peo-
pie Immediately. fact that was very
distasteful to the high command.
The Kaiser's dislike of Won Hin
denburg was of long standing. He
had meyer forgiven that general for
the mistake he made during mill
tary maneuvers in peace time when
by a brilliant stroke of strategy he
had succeeded in capturing the
Kaiser's forces, including the Kaiser
and his who.e staff! When war was
declared, Hindenburg was a retired
citizen in Hanover and he would
have remained in that capacity If the
Kaiser could have had his way. The
fact that Hindenburg lacked social
status and was particularly gruff in
manner no doubt had much to do
with the disfavor in which the Kais-
er held him.
In the early days of the war,
however, when the Russians were
into East Prussia, the high
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-26

command felt itself compelled to
dismiss the German general who was
responsible for that defeat, ana
Hindenburg was hailed by the peo-
pie as the one man who could stem
the tide. The Kaiser was accord
ingly compelled to acquiesce and
Hindenburg was placed in charge
of the army in the east. How COM
pletely he vindicated the confidence
the German people had in him is
already we'll known. He swept the
Russians into the Masurian Lakes
and snatched victory oIt of the jaws
of defeat.
His success only increased the
Kaiser's dislike of him and every
obstacle was placed in his way. For
nine months the Kaiser withheld
sufficient troops to enable linden
burg to follow up his successful
campaign, all the available men and
supplies being sent to Won Machen-
sen and Won Falkenhayn instead to
give them an opportunity to distin-
guish themselves and gain some of
the glory and popularity which Won
Hindenburg seemed to be monopo-
lizing.
1t is reported that at this period
the Kaiser suggested certain tactics
to Won Hindenburg and that the gen.
eral responded by unbuckling his
sword and offering to give up his
command. Gladly would the Kaiser
have accepted his resignation but
even that imperious monarch dared
not so antagoniZe public opinion. He
yielded TO his recalcitrant general
and from that time on allowed him
to go his own way.
Hindenburg' star was now in the
ascendancy. Won Moltke, the Kais-
er's favorite, had popularly disgrace
ed himself by the failure of the Ger
mans at the Marine and by the sue
cess of the Belgian and English
armies in escaping from Antwerp
over a single pontoon bridge. His
place as commander in chief was
then given to Won Falkenhayn, the
reason given for Won Moltke's re-
tirement being his failing health"
Then came the failure of the Ger
mans at Verdun and the approach
ing entry of Roumania into the war
on the side of the Allies, and Falk-
enhayn in turn fell from grace. The
high command at this time tried to
prevent the Kaiser from talking to
Hindenburg but he was so worried
called Hindenburg and Falkenhayn
to him for a conference. 1t is said
that the latter tried to take the GEN.
ter of the floor and do the talking,
but although he was higher in COM
mand, Hindenburg told him to shut
his mouth" adding: when 1 fin
ish talking to His Majesty you may
begin" Then he pointed out to the
Kaiser some of Falkenhayn's great
mistakes, remarking: Who ever
heard of a general attacking his en-
emy at his strongest point"-refer-
ring to the campaign against Ver-
dun.
The Kaiser was apparently so i'm
pressed with Hindenburg's argu-
ments that, distasteful as it was to
him to do so, he appointed the peo-
pies idol as commander in chief in
Falkenhayn's place. Jealous as he
was of that generals popularity, he
