His Imperial Majesty the Kai- (1. D. Wilkinson ser is reported from Amsterdam J. Scott Harston to have sent the
following B. W. Looker
telegram
Marshal
Hindenburg :-
TCD
"In this, your decision, you again show proof of your great talents as a general, and it occu- pice a worthy place sext to your great success in the East.
"Brit, a new base has been laid for the further direction of the War.
The smooth, regular course of all measures effected so far, ia again a new glory for the work of my chief command."
Sending telegrams is a habit of the Kainer's, but after the messages have been despatched, he sometimes regrets his sction. He may possibly come to do so in this instance, for on reflection it will bardly appear that the withdrawal on the Somme is a legitimate c1x290 for COD- gratulation.

Harshal von Hindenburg has always been a lucky gener-i. Ia the first month of the war he was called from the half-pay list to take over the command in the East Prussian district which had been bis constant study through- out his military career. He gain- ed an opportunity of entangling. his enemy. in un impossible
position, and thus secured the only decisive victory won in the first months of the war. Thanks to this success he was appointed to the chief command on the
Eastern front, and in this post, by determination and tenacity, sided by the efforts of a tealous and competent staff, he was able to retain the prestige which he bad so fortunately obtained, though the main military operation on this front was achieved by his rival von Mackensen. Finally he was called to the chief opio- mani when von Falkenhayn was Adisgraced in consequence of the failure at Verdun, but be has not yet performed any exploit to ipcrease bis reputation.
