SUMMARY OF THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

In the last six months there have
been several rumors of the death Of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
there have been many reports that
he has been in poor health. A dis
patch received in London Friday
from The Hague quoted a Dutch
traveller from Germany as declaring
that a report that the field marshal
was i'll and unable to participate in
the work at army headquarters, had
spread all over Germany. German
Newspapers were not permitted to
added that General Ludendorff, the
first quarterr1aster general had taken
over the field marsha's duties as
chief of the general staff. Keeping
step with reports of the field mar
shals health have been dispatches
from Germany indicating that the
field marshal and the emperor had
had disaereements concerning the
German offensive movement in the
west.
Late in May, Field Marshal Won
Rindenburg was reported i'll with
typhoid fever at Strassburg. The
field marshal on June f8 was re-
ported by Tho Tribune of Geneva to
be suffering from an acute nervous
disease. The newspaper declared it
had learned from a reliable source
that his mental capacity was much
affected and that he was confined in
a private sanitarium. 1t added that
the field marshal had taken no re-
sponsibIe part in the offensive on the
western front.
At the outbreak of the war Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg was in
general retirement. He was credited
with planning and carrying out the
campaign against the Russians in
East Prussia, which resulted in the
serious Russian defeat at Tannen-
burg, for which he was promoted to
field marshal. He continued to com.
mand the German forces on the Rus
sian front until August 30, 1916, when
he was appointed chief of the general
staff in succession to General Won
Falkenhayn. When he became chief
of general staff, General 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.
