HINDENBURG SPEAKS.
One Talk of Campaign Designed to
Show Good Health.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
HANOVER, April 20.-"I hope the
foreign press now understands that
if elected 1 will not go to Berlin
either in a wheel chair or on a gun
carriage" said the old field marshal,
Won Hindenburg, as he sat over beer,
sandwiches and vegetable salad in
the Stadthalle, after he had made his
only campaign speech 90 select au-
dience of German and foreign cor
respondents and notables of the Con-
servative party.
Continuing, the old man, six feet
tall and heavy, who had stood on his
feet for two hours Sunday and who
On Sunday night had read aloud for
IL minutes, said: II would be willing
to match my walking ability with that
of Herr Marx"
Aside from one address which he
will broadcast next week, this was
Hindenburg's last utterance before
the election. "Non-party," national
and peaceful are adiectives which
describe the Hindenburg platform.
Except for single reference to the
necessity Of freeing Germany from
the charge of being responsible for
the war, there is absolutely nothing
In his speech which could not be ut
tered by former Chancellor Marx, his
opponent for the presidency.
Outlines Objective.
Il state here in all clearness," said
the old field marshal, that L am
seeking nothing but what my op-
ponents claim exclusively for them
selves, namely fo assure the Gerpoa N
people place among other peoples
In full sovereignty and freedom
This was strange campaign meet
ing. The various orators, excepting
Hindenburg, addressed not the audi.
ence but the gray-haired field mar.
shall. The chief purpose of the meet.
ing was to show the foreign cor.
respondents, and through them the
world, that Hindenburg was able to
stand the strain of the presidency.

RACE TO POLE SEEN.
Amundsen's Planes and Algarsson
Blimp May Compete.
BY JAMES wHsRToN

BY RADIO FROM S. s. FARM,
KINGS BAY. Spitzenbergen, April 19.
1t looks like a race between the
planes of the Norwegian Ace Clubs
polar expedition and Algarsson's s
blimp. Therefore. Roald Amundsen,
Ellsworth and others of the party are
rushing the assembling of their two
dorniers.
Tuesday the Farm and the Hobby
broke through 3 miles of pack ice
to the landing here. One plane, the
25, has been landed already and the
mechanics are at work installing the
motor. The other, the "a, is lying
on the ice alongside the Hobby
Until the news of Algarsson reached
Kings Bay it had been planned to
have the first plane ready April -
and the second May 3. Now as soon
as one is in shape it will make trial
flights. Then when the second plane
is assembled the party will be ready
to move northward to Danes Island.
or beyond If the water is open. The
first fine day the flyers will hop off,
possibly before the middle of May
The weather the past few days has
been clear.
Amundsen Is Pleased.
When Amundsen learned that
Algarsson was preparing to sail from
Liverpool for Spitzbergen at the end
of April ne grinned and said that
he was pleased, as 1t would give zest
to the polar dash.
Amundsen does not fear Algarsson's S
plans; nevertheless, he is resolved not
to be caught mapping.
Most of the members of the expedi-
ton are now housed fairly comfort
ably in shacks at Lands End. The
first real cold is expected to stop all
assembling in the open, so the me-
chanics may be in for some hardship.
The temperature has been around 5
above.
