II Won Hindenburg really has resigned
and laid aside his sword, Us dispatches from
the front indicate, then Germany has lost
the services Of the only leader developed by
the war who has been able to inspire both
soldiers and people with something akin to
reverence. Other military leaders have en-.
joyed the popular acclaim fof short time
only to be displaced, but the doughty field
marshal has been the national idol from
whom affection never wavered. From the
first great victory of the Mazufian Lakes he
went forward triunlphantly until he came
into contact with the allied wall OF steel
on the western front. There his plans were
overruled by Ludendorf and the Kaiser. and
the crown prince was permitted to have his
way, with consequent disaster after disaster
to German arms. Hindenburg, Of course, will
be made to bear the blame, but his passing
marks the SCATTERING of that war machine
which its creators had believed intincible.

HIS LAST ADDRESS IN ENGLAND
Speech in Manchester Today After Being Made
an Honorary Citizen of Great Indus

MANCHESTER, Dec. 30.-Presi-
dent Wilson carried his peace mes
sage into the heart Of England's In
dustrial center today. when he ad-
dressed several thousand working
men in Free Trade hall. He was re-
ceived with the widest enthusiasm
The president had run the gaInut
from the royalty Of London to the
homely piety of Carlisle and tho
humming activity of Manchester.
The quality OF his welcome was
unchanged in any Of these widely di-
vergent atmospheres.
From early morning the streets
were thronged in anticipation Of the
presidents appearance. He and his
immediate party arrived here from
Carlisle late yesterday and spent the
night as the guests of the lord mayor.
He rose early and started for the
hall at $50. Accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson, the lord mayor. the latter's
wife and the town clerk, he went to
the canal where they boarded the
White Star liner Majestic on which
they rode to the docks.
Leaving the canal the party pro-
ceeded to the town hall where VIII
son was made an honorary citizen of
Manchester.
From there he went to Free Trade
hall and delivered his second and
final public address in England. He
was given a great ovation as he rode
through the streets. The president
appeared to enjoy the freedom from
the semi restraint of the regal atmos'
phere In London.
His adaptability was never more
apparent than today.
President Wilson's visit to his
mothers former home in Carlisle
brought him into contact with the
inner spirit of the British people. :.
Picture a church in small town
with it's ordinary congregation mostly
old people; picture the front pews
occupied by the president, his wife,
the kings secretary and other digni-
taries, who joined in singing the
usual hymns and knelt on the wooden
floor in prayer and finally picture the
president in response to the pastors S
appeal, paying tribute to hts mother
and grandfather, with many of the
congregation In tears.
| From this humble scene. after a
visit to the cathedral, the president
returned to the kings train with Its
magnificent white enamelled wood
work and gorgeous fittings. each car
regal suite.
