This policy is apparently car.
ried out so faithfully and sys.

to say a word of praise.
As for the car, it is the
third car in the low price
field that / have owned since
l jumped down from the high
price range. hoping that by
doing so 1 could get approx.

more than / expected.
/ think the outstanding
feature of the car is quiet

The body construction and

account for the former and

"The massive chimney stack is

Chimney stacks of the later houses

London.-German authors Of
ten have toyed with the idea of the
twilight of the gods and Richard
Wagner even wrote q famous opera
on the subject, but to-day Germans
are seeing played before their very
eyes fascinating drama-the twi-
light of the half-gods.
There are two of them, General
Erich Ludendorff and President
Hindenburg. Together they formed
the most famous companionship
and team work in the World war,
approached only distantly by the
well-known collaboration between
Foch and Weygand in the French
forces.
Ludendorff's decline and fall
from power, public worship and
esteem is as tragic as anything
ever handled by the immortal
Greek playwrights. His rise was
great. The opening days of the
World war found him in q COM
paratively minor military role,
doing his job in the German ad-
vance into Belgium. Hindenburg
was q soldier out of a job, buried
in Hanover as too old for the war
game Then the so-called Russian
steam roller crushed into East
Prussia and all Germany was dis
mayed.
Won Battles Together
The kaiser. who did not like
him, dug Hindenburg out of
his retirement and gave him
command in the east. AS his
chief of staff Wilhelm Second as
signed Ludendorff to him. The
two men did not even know each
other. Together they won the
great battles of the Masurian
Lakes and of Tannenberg, which
maddencd Germany with joy.
Legend had it that the conccp-
ton was Hindenburg's because
coming from that part of tho
world, he had studied every inch
of the ground. Another legend
had it that the plan was Luden-
dorff's.
Cold truth seems to be that
the whole conception of the cam
paign had been worked out by
General Max Won Hoffman long
| before the two heroes" arrived
on the scene.
However,, that may be, Luden-
dorff and Hindenburg got the
glory, the decorations and the re-
wards. Soon they were in charge
of the western front. Later they
were in supreme command.
Ludendorff, more positive
and ambitious character than
Hindenburg, became the real
master of Germany. When the
Kaiser came strutitng aroun G..
II. O., Erich the Great practical
ly told him to stick to his kaiser
ing and let the real soldiers do the
soldering. Afterwards he inter-
fered in internal politics too. He
caused the dismissal of chancellors
and cabinet ministers. In the WIN
ter of 1913 he nerved all Germany
up to one supreme attack on the
western front which was to bring
the final victory. 1t missed by
inches, two million Americans were
poured into the war area and Lu-
dendorff realized the game was
lost.
Planned Munich "Putsch"
In October of that year he
begged the kaiser's kinsman, Prince
Max Of Baden, then Chancellor to

It's Twilight For Hindenburg And Ludendorff


Joining II in the hope of causing
trouble to the government. At
IS there is little left for Luden-
dorff but death and a state fun
eral.
Hindenburg's case is peculiar.
He did not run away like Luden-
dorff He remained with his
troops, trusted them, led them
back home and then retired to
dignified silence. But In 1926
the reactionary and nationalist
forces again dug him out of his
home, ran him for president and
elected him. In 1882 most of
the people who had formerly
been for him, were now against
him. But the Center party, the
Socialists, all the Liberal ele-
ments supported him in his fight
with Hitler and reelected him
for another seven year term.
Hindenburg's Decline
The old man babe fair to be
even greater in peace than In war.
But seven months ago, through
the machinatoins of those in his
own encourage, he called Hitler to
the office of chancellor. 1t was
looked upon as a Betrayal by those
forces which had elected him in
1882. Since then he has gone into
rapid eclipse. He spends most of
his time at his East Prussian es-
tate. There is doubt whether the
Nazi troopers, who guard his
home, are a guard of honor or a
watch on a prisoner. He is shorn
now Of all real power. He, who
by a stroke of a pen, fired chan
cellors right and left, can no
longer do so. His whrit would
not run If he tried it on. Hitler.
The Nazis are the supreme
bosses and Hindenburg knows it.
At So he is a great figure-head
to whom the real powers do lip
service. He is in his twilight. He
Is doing a quiet fade-out.

saw the final crash coming. He
had no stomach for its conse.
quences. He resigned his post. He
fled in disguise to Sweden, fearful
of the wraht of the soldiers. That
cut some of the gilt off his crown
of glory. Later, seeing that MOTH
ing very terrible was being done
turned to Germany and settled in
Bavaria.
He hated the republic and all
it's works. Fate threw him into
contact with Adolph Hitler. To-
gether they planned the inglori-
ods "putsch" of 1923. When. a
handful of Bavarian regular SOL

sentenced to five years imprison-
ment In fortress, from which he
was soon freed by one of the gen.
eral amnesties then so much in
vogue in Germany.
Hitler VS. Ludcndorff
Hitler's star was now an as
cending one. Ludendorff's was
on the decline. Each formed a
party. Hitlers' grew. Luden-
dorffs stood still. He founded
little weekly paper and attack
ed Jews, Jesuits and Free Masons
as the real cause of Germany's
licking. He quarreled with all
his old friends, including Hind
enburg.
The other day the last and
most humiliating blow fell upon
him from his one-time ally, Hit
