Taps will be sounded. A pastor will read short prayer while the casket is ifted upon an artillery caisson.
 Officers will precede the caisson afoot, carrying Hindenburg's mih- tary decorations and his field mar shal's baton on cushions.
 As the procession starts, huge fires will be lighted at each of the eight towers on the Tannenbers Memorial, 50 miles away. They will be kept burning for two weeks, at- tended by 96 tiremen working in shifts.

 Avcrted Worse Catastrophe
 "When the November revolu- tion succeeded in destroying the German nation, the then already historic figure of the field mar shal general at least averted worse catastrophe.
 For the second time the gen. eral resigned and for the second time he was recalled. On April 26. 1925, the nation elected him Reich's president and thereby without knowing it then-made him protector of the new nation al revolution.
 II here fulfill the truth when I pint out before the German people in deep thanksgiving for the immeasurable service which the general field marshal rem dered through lending his name and enabling uniflcation of the best elements of Germany's past and much-yearned for better ment of the future.
 Since the hour when I was privileged to place the oath as Reich's chancellor in his hands, I perceived ever more and more the graciousness of fate which gave us this fatherly and benev- olent patron.
 "This figure, like a mystic arch, spanned time from the tan gled revolution of 1S48 over an inconceivably long path to the national rebirth of 1888. German folk can only be happy over the arrangement of providence which placed it's most noble and re- Spected man and soldier.
 Enfold Him in Hearts
 we who not only had the for tune to know him, but also each one who was privileged to do his part to achieve the wonder of this new resurrection of our folk, desire in thankful remembrance to enfold the picture o this great German in our hearts.
 "We desire to preserve it as a precious testament of great era and pass it to generations which follow us. Whoever so keeps faith in his people should never himself be forgotten!
 Prays to Almighty Since fate singled us out to lead the Reich and the people, we can only pray to the Almighty to permit our albor and struggle for the happiness of our people to prosper. May he also give us strength at all times to devote ourselves to preserving the free dom of the German folk and the honor of the German nation.
 "Especially may He graciously permit us to find the right path in order to guarantee our people happiness and peace and protect them from disaster and war, even as this great one always sincerely and whole-heartedly desired.
 "Deputies of the German Reichstag! Men and women! German people!
 "In this wocful hour I beg all, from the passing moment to look into the future. Let the strong conviction enter our hearts Reich President Field Marshal General Von Hindenburg Is not dead. He lives. for since he died. he is moving above us among the immortals of our nation. sur rounded by the great spirits of the past, as the eternal protector of the German Reich and peo- nle."

 The greatest struggle in history is forever linked with that name o1 Tannenberg," he said. It was al this point that he said politica leadership equal to the country's military leadership would have averted disaster.
 Speaks of, Own Destiny
 Hitler recalled the 1925 election in which Hindenburg was elected president, and then, referring to his own appointment as chancellor January 30, 1883, he said:
 "I expressed the gratitude of the whole nation to the president for concluding an alliance between venerable tradition and forces working for the future.
 Ever since I was allowed tc take my oath of office to him have been grateful to fate for the opportunity of serving such a mas ter
 "He who served the nation with such faithfulness," said Hitler never will lack faithful remem- brance.
 Deputies and German people! l ask every one at this moment tC look to the future.
 President Hindenburg is not dead. He is forever with us, sur. rounded by the great heroes of the past"

Oklahoma City, Aug 6-(UP)- There were 100 head of horses standing in the pasture near tho barns when I stopped to visit Der B. Van Vector, Oklahoma pioneer and owner af 10000 acres.
 The horses were boney. Nags we would call them in the city where the society for prevention oi cruelty to animals probably would have them killed as a merciful ges- ture.
 Look at those horses" said Van Vector. 'I guess 1 don't have to tell you they are starving. Starving for both feed and water. They were good horses not long ago. Now they . are crow bait. God knows what l will do with them"
 Van Vector looked out over his acres. burned brown and bare of sustenance. His water holes. eX- cept one, have dried up. A fork of the Red River. passing through his place, is merely a dry. dusty gully. His plight is that of thou sands in the ranch country. He looked at the horses, turned away and went on with a review of farm udTOSHlpS.
 "Cattle are the same way. They can't graZe on bare land. I've got 1,600 head in the Osage hills on pasture, and 700 head here.
 See the north fork of the Red river there. Dry as a bone. First time ever remember it quit flow ing. I've got one little waterhole left.
 "I'm going to sell all the cattle. No use of keeping them to die. The pasture bill this winter would be $S5,000. I cant pay it.
 This reservoir I built here at the house Git covered half an acre) cost me $5,000. It will soon be empty.
 I've been right re for 42 years. and I've never seen anything like this.

-Four years ago I was worth a quarter of a million. Unless things change quickly, I'm broke. I've certainly fought to keep on top.
 ''It looks like nature has me whipped. This spring 1 sold $6,O0O worth of horses to pay taxes.
 "I don't know about this crop re- duction program. The government cattle buying will help me a little. 1 can salvage some money by sell ing to the government. If 1 didn't sell them they would die.
 But there ought to be some- thing done about levelling up things. Roosevelt is trying hard enough, but I don't think he's talk ing the right track.
 We ought to have price fixing. I mean on everything.
 Now l don't believe in this con- fiscation and redistribution of property, I'm not for that. But I think we ought to have a fairer break some way"
 As Van Vector talked, clouds of fine, whitish-yellow sand blew up out of the Red River bed, where his "cowhands" were hcrding gaunt horses to pasture.

German league Lut also Venice and Lombardy. The Balkan states were tributary provinces of the Turkish empire.
 Prussia itself like other states in the German league was inter- nally weak, and incapable of in- spring its people with real ideas. The shame of Olmuetz burned in the breasts of the few true pa triots.
 Prince Wilhelm became king of Prussia.
 "The youth Hindenburg, how ever, experienced the great tri- umvirate which effected the political and military reorgani- Zation of our nation. Bismarck, Moltke and Roon entered history. While the American union vic- toriously concludes the Civil war. Prussia's road goes from the Dueppcl ramparts to Koenig- graetz.
 "In these regiments marches a juvenile second lieutenant, brave and enthusiastic, namely, Paul Von Hindenburg Shrapnel pierces his helmet, and thus the young fighter gets his fiery bap- tisn.

When Bismarck finished reading the proclamation regarding the new states power and brilliancy and it's will to enrich itself through gifts of peace and kultur and hoched the new Reich's kaiser for the first time, young linden burg's sword flashed upward in the oath of allegiance to the kaiser of the Reich.
 "A life of work for the new Reich begins. The. great emperor dies. A second and a third suc- ceed. Bismarck is dismissed. Roon and Moltke close their eyes. Yet Germany grows as a guarantor of peace and true European order. The world as- sumes new face. In all branch es of human development one re- volutionizing invention follows another.
 Germany becomes world power. After his life of service to this Reich Commanding General Von Hindenburg, aged GA, re- tires March 19. 1911. Thereby his service seemed ended.

 "On Aug 22, 1924, Hindenburg was commissioned in high com mand of the army in East Prus- sia. Eight days later. the German nation and the world first learned of the appointment and thereby received knowledge of the new colonel general.
