 MT and Mrs Von Hindenburg, honored guests at the funeral, officers and soldiers of the army:
 Twice in his life is soldier praised and honored-after vic- tory and after death.
 "When the name of the gen. eral field marshal Reich's presi- dent first resounded through the German nation there already lay behind him long, completed life of fight and work.
 "A young officer of great kings, IT year old, marched onto the battlefield of Koenigs- graetz and received as his -bap- tism his first wound.
 -Four years later he witnessed the proclamation of his kingly war lord to the position of Ger man emperor. In the following years he cooperated in shaping the might of the Reich under it's new leadership.
 His Completed Career
 "When Commanding General Won Hindenburg on March II, 1911, took leave of the army he looked back on completed career of Prussian officer in both the field and peace time service.
 Ut was a proud time. After centuries of long powerlessness, after eternal confusion and dis union. the German tribes were united by the gifted leadership of one man.
 A German nation could be newly formed.
 ''The weakness of Germans in former centuries, which had oft en shamed them. and which had often been exhibited, receded be- fore the undreameG of strength "a wonderful sensation-in this epoch of resurrection of the Ger man empire.
 "In fulillment of duty he helped, in storms and battles as we'll as in the immeasurable work of education and prepara- tion in peace.
 And indeed the name of this man, just as were the names of innumerable other officers, re- mained hidden from the German people. Only a little circle in the nation then knew this nameless one, characterized though he was by quiet fulfillment of duty.
 "When the German people 3 and a half years later heard the name of (Generalob- erst> Von Hindenburg, the storms of the World war were breaking over Europe.
 Called by the Kaiser
 'In the darkest hours the kaiser called the general from retirement and transferred to him command of the armies in East Prussia.
 "Six days later the thunder of cannon shook this wonderful countryside of the knightly or ders of former days, and three days later church bells rang throughout Germany.
 ''The battle of Tanpenburg had been won.
 "A victory was won which can hardly be matched in history. A valuable piece of German terri tory was snatched from the grasp of further devastation.
 "In a Germany moved by grat- itude, millions of German men and women repeated the name of the army who with his assist ance effected this marvellous salvation.
 Historic Events Took Place
 What events are included in these twenty years between Aug ust 2S, 1914, and today?
 "A war which makes all mem ories and presentations of for mer ones look like nothing.
 "A tremendous succession of battles, fights, terrible crises. unique victories followed each other in quick succession.
 Hope fights against doubts. assurance struggles with de- spair; the nation is ever sum- moned to the defense of its very existence; in defense of their ex- istences millions fulfilled their duty faithfully and obediently.
 During the next century the German people will not be ob- liged to rehabilitate its honor!
 "NeSer have soldiers been braver. never more enduring, never readier for sacrifice.
