Calls Problem Difficult.
II consider it very difficult to find
measures of guarantee nature which
could really compel all nations to
adopt moral policy in state affairs.
l should certainly be very happy IL
1t should come to pass in my old age
that the policies of nations were de-
termined by sound common sense.
But we are not that far as yet
The field marshal contends that his
election would have no effect on Ger

Denies Political Aspect.
Answer-''To begin with, it is not
true that my candidacy has a partisan
political character. AS for the rest, 1
am convinced and have positive data
for my opinion that financial world
problems as they relate to Germany
have nothing whatever to do with the
election of the nations head"
Won Hindenburg expressed the opin-

interview Marshal Won Hindenburg's
attention was directed to a statement
in a Berlin daily newspaper that the

Lieut.. Col. Won F'eldmann remarked
that the field marshal had not seen
the Hohenzollerns in very long
time.
Hindenburg Loves Dog.
Seldom if ever has there been

master and animal than that between
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, Ger
man presidential candidate, and his
shepherd dog, Rolf" in the opinion
of Capt. Won Kuegelgen, who is Won
Hindenburg's secretary, aide and
companion.
Rolf was presented to the field

Dog Breeders Association, after in
truders had entered his premises, caus-

who watches his master with fond
concern and with an intelligence de-

walking through the parks and about
the outskirts of the city.

limited to an occasionallightc cigarette.
He smokes no cigars and his after
noon nap is religiously observed.
