the seriousness of the position. For the mast two years this has been brought home seriously to him by the economic conditions of the period.

Is this the year to at tempt this? he asked.
 The warden stated that the bud get for the coming year IS pelng given great consideration and ne said before 1t will have my approv- el we are not going to ask for any money until we find out where the money is going to come from.
 The democratic party he said IS inst as capable for watching the treasury of the borough as the re- nublican party.

 Hindenburg does both.
 He is a terror for his stenog- ra pfers and secretaries for the old man is a stickler about pnnctu- ation. Anybody who is guilty of careless commas or faulty con- struction will hear of 1t.
 When typewriter manuscripts are brought in to him for his sig nature, he goes over them with Q fine tooth comb, puts the commas in the right places and inserts the full stops, if these have been neg lected.
 He explains that once a battle was lost through the wrong inser- tion of a comma in the operation orders.

 Berlin, April 12.-"F'irst in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen!
 Just as for more than 100 years childish voices in Americas pub lie schools have chanted this praise of George Washington so, perhaps one hundred years from now little German boys and girls will be say ing the same thing about Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von linden burg.
 He was first in war, as field marshal and commander-in -chief of Germany's armies in the great conflict that scared the world.
 He has been first in peace. as president of the German republic in the nations trying years since 1925.
 Who Is this grim and rugged old man who sits in the presiden tial palace at Berlin in the shad- ows of his S4 years? IIG uftd0uotCuiyt tAiS ASHe''SS dug in recorded annals, that being the phrase the English use to designate an army officer who has returned from retirement to win fame.
 v When Hindenburg was past GO he retired from the German army and settled at Hanover. When nearly 70 he was dug out" by the ex-kaiser and made field marshal of all the German armies after he had beat the Russians to pulp X on the eastern front. When he was nearing 80, he was dug out" from ghis second retirement to become president of the republic.
 Though never any special ad- mirer of Kaiser Wilhelm, he gave the best and most devoted service of any of his generals. He proved himself a hero by leading Ger many's battered armies back home after the war was lost and the kaiser had run away to Holland. N; All his life a monarchist, the world expected him to be a mere chair warmer for the monarchist crowd when he was elected presi- dent. Hindenburg didn't. He took his oath to the republic and he has stuck to it with a fidelity that is beyond question.
 And what sort of a human being is this old President von Him denburg of Germany?
 He is built on big scale-big body. with big head. which looks as if it had been rough hewn from granite,
 In tefpresidential palace he sets Germans an example of frugal liv- ing ana hard work.
 He arises usually between seven and eight and immediately after breakfast takes walk in the big garden. s.gf
 Promptly at 9:30 he begins the dsy's work by receiving his per- sonal state secretary, Dr Miessner, and getting reports of all govern mental activities. He is thus busy until he eats lunch at 1880. Usually

paign getting him to agree to broadcast. He growled, but they finally got him before the ''mike', Eand the old man made quite speech. so much so that the an- nouncer, completely absorbed in what he was hearing, forgot to throw off the switch when the speech was ended. The result Was the vast German public heard the old man mutter, s
 ''Well, thank God. that's over!"H
 He would be the despair of an American presidential cam. paign manager. Some < pompous fellow will come to see him on some mission connected with the election, will be ushered into Him: denburg's study, espy a painting of the great soldier Won Moltke and point to it, saying:
 ,.Ah Excellence. by Lenbach. is,
 What the devil" the old man win growl, you surely did not come all the way here to talk to me about my paintings!" g
 But if the visitor comes right to the point and explains his mission. then the old fellow himself may suggest a trip around the house and, acting as guide, would show all his swords, banners and memen- toes.
 He has prodigious memory for, names and faces. 1t is an old trick with royalties, when they go on tour, to have their memories furnished them ready-made, A sec retary will look. up a card index and will approach royalty:
 ..Your Royal Highness, we are coming to Glogau. Seven years ago you met Heinrich Schmitz there at a bier-abend. He is an i'm portant man in the district. He Is . big fellow with yellowish hair and light brown beard"
 And, of course, His Royal High ness picks out Schmitz and "re- members everything.
 But this sort of fake is not neces- sary with Hindenburg. 1t is said that he really remembers thousands of his former comrades, recognizes them at sight.
 s. During the World war many fanciful tales about the old man arose. Perhaps one of the best. which is said to be ginuine and which is often told by Hindenburg himself, is this:
 In his campaign in East Prussia in the first year of the war-when his picture was not so well known he won a big victory at Inster- burg. A year later--on Sept II. 1915-he was on his way to inspect the front and his auto was headed for the road that, leads right through If1sterburg. But he found 1t barred by the local police. His chauffeur was told he could not drive through. When Hindenburg | leaned out and asked why, he got his answer:
 "Because service of thanksgiv- ing is being held in the market place in celebration of the first an- niversary of the liberation of the town by our great General Hinden- burg, that's why. And that ought 1 to be sufficient answer to you. Get along"
 Hindenburg got along-chuck- ling.

 Only once since he has been president has he remained up later than that. He attended a par liamentary beer evening and got to swapping yarns with Otto Braun, the socialist minister-presi- dent of the state of Prussia. Both Hindenburg and Otto Braun are mighty hunters. ~ &aH UJbu q,wasJb N Z
