The Great War-1523d Dav
.ndenburg Is
Out After Row
With Kaiser
Continued from page 4

Austria's peace proposal late in Sep
tember the field marshal told the Ger
man people tcv'be hard"
Scventy-two Years of Age
The field marshal celebrated his
seventy birthday on October 2.
Won Hindenburg was on the reserve
list at the outbreak of the war. III
health had forced his retirement years
before he otherwise would have given
up active service.
Despite the fact that he was almost
constantly under the care of n
physician, he offered his services
promptly at the outbreak of the war
and asked to be assigned the task OF
defending the borders of East Prussia:
At that time the Kaiser had assembled
his forces under command of younger
men.
The result of the early part Of the
Russian campaign is we'll known. One
defeat after another was registered
along that East Prussia front, and it
was in desperation that the Kaiser
turned to the sixty-eight year old
general whose offer of services he had
previously scorned.
Carried Fight to Enemy
The campaign General Won Hinden-
burg waged was titanic in character.
The cold Man Of the Lakes" as he was
known, had but one great principle of
warfare. He brought it back to active
service with him. "Always Attack

promptly proceeded to put it into OK
ecution.
When Won HindeMburg eventually got
ready TO turn on the attacking Rus
SLAMS, he found himself outnumbe red
at least two to one, but his retreat bad
been directed toward Tannenburg and
the lake regions in the ncighborhood
When the moment for which he had
waited arrived, Won Hindcnburg sud-
denly ceased to retreat and from the
attacked became the attacker.
His victory was the greatest single
enc of the war, with the possible ex-
ception Of General Allenby's in Pales-
time. 1t involved the CAPTURE of more
than 100000 prisoners; the slaughter
Of as many more; the capture of scores
of cannon and huge stores of muni-
tons. Incidentally, hc saved East
Prussia.
From comparative oblivion Won Hin
denburg became the great popular hero
of Germany. The KAISER bestowed the
highest honors of the empire upon him
and later made him chief Of staff.
Iudendorf, who had been chief OF
staff on the east front now became
first quarterraster general. The gen
cral belief was that the "brains' of the
combination was Ludendorff. There
were some reports of friction between
the two, but the weight of evidence
would show they continued the closest
Of friends.

much strength as he can muster.
The Hindenburg system having been
smashed, the Germans naturally sup
pose they may be quickly called upon
to tight great battle. Along the
MAsnieres Beaurevoir line they have
mustered all possible strength.
Great Britan's armies, military Of
ilcers say, have secured satisfaction
from the German cry of despair and
have now forgotten it. They are con-
tinulng their olan to do their best to-
ward administering a defeat to the
enemy. Great events, the officers add,
may not be far distant.

Many Reasons

The shortage of good
coatings in this country is
an acknowledged fact. 1t
is more apparent here, we
are told, than in England.
Thus, these fine over
coats, made of rich Eng
lish fabrics, will fill a need
that would be untitled
otherwise.

Another

point: the fact that these
all-wool coats are SO sturdy
enhances their value.
Every man knows that
practical economy consists
in buying something that
gives adequate service and
satisfaction.

rain strikes it; that streaks
from the rays of the sun;

AUSTRIANS GATHER
FOR NEW ASSAULTS

ROME.-Premier Orlando inform
ed the chamber of deputies today
that it was permissible to say that
the Italian forces had won their
battle with the Austirans, and he
stated further that the attacking
Teuton forces had been checked with
the assistance of only small part
of the Italian reserves.
The battle situation on the Italian
front is unchanged today and there
are no infantry engagements in prog.
ress. The Austrians, however, are
gathering all their available men in
certain sections of the mountain
front and it is believed that there
will be a resumption of the fighting
at an early date.

DEPARTMENT IS
AUTHORIZED TO
EQUIP ARMIES
Expected That Central and South
America Will Supply Many
Men For Allies.

WASHINGTON, D. C-The twelve
billion dollar army appropriation bill
has been amended by the senate mill
tary committee so as to give the war
department authority to equip the
troops of any other nation engaged
in the war against Germany. Ger
tain restrictions as regards training
and equipment were planned by the
originally, but the COM
mittee has made the power general.
The object of the amendment is
to make it possible for the depart
ment to equip troops from the eight
Central and South American nations
which have several relations with
Germany and any others which may
break relations in the future. The
eight which arc now at war or are
ready to take up arms against the
kaiser have a fighting strength of
nearly three million men between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty
years, and Brazil alone could supply
close to a million men if the age
limit was increased.

TROOPS MOVING
ACROSS SEA IN
STEADY STREAM
Hundred Thousand American Soldiers
Cross Atlantic Within Period
of Week.

WASHINGTON, D C.-Accordiny
to statement made today to news
papermen by General Marsh, there
are now nine hundred thousand
American soldiers on the European
side of the Atlantic, that number
having been shipped to Europe by
the United States since this country
enterd the war. The general de-
clared that the nation is now five
months ahead of the program of
placing an army in France.
The fact that General Marsh an
nounced last week that there were
over eight hundred thousand men
overseas, today's statement of one
hundred thousand more shows the
rate of progress that is being made
by the war department.
Regarding the outlook in Europe,
General Marsh said that while the
general battle situation looks good
now, the present lull in the fighting
on the Wetsern front means that the
Germans are preparing for another
drive. Viewing the whole situation,
including the Italian front, he as
sured the newspapermen that the
Central powers are again held on
all fronts.

that the engineer of the Pullman
