His party grew until it became the strong est in the state and in the Reichs- tag.
 Finally on January 30, 1883, the senile Hindenburg, President of the republic, made him Chancel- Tor. And in five short years, Hit Ter has become the most powerful and most-feared individual in Eu- rope.

THE sTooGE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The stooge's life is busy one, He must be on the dot, Give the cue to his side partner And be Johnny on the spot.
