That structure must have been re

that. "A large part of the ground floor

that name, was sincnen

was saved by the application of the
simple remedy known to this day as
iimahia? or comDress. a
method of cure discovered by Prlessnltz
himself and. in tne case oi
i n .rtiiiiiiv aDDlied by him.
Soon after the boy's recovery the
grateful father presented to the City
of Posen the fountain wmi.ii
stands in front of Von Hindenberg s
birthplace. It was the intention of th.e
donor that the lofty stone pedestal
hnuM he surmounted by a figure of

posed, and the figure had been cast
In bronze when the Countess died. In
... h.uino' th bronze set up on
the pedestal the Count placed it above
Poland, and for many years the Pness
nitx memorial remained Incomplete.
A few years after his wife's death
the Count himself met a dreadful end.
His reason unbalanced by some unsuc
cessful movement in behalf of Poland,
he loaded an old cannon which stood
on the shore of a little lake on his
ar.aA kimsif in front of the
muzzle, applied the match, and got
bimself blown into eternity.
Story Ha Happy Eadlng.
The story of the statue has. however,
a reasonably happy ending.
Seven or eight years ago the devoted
municipal architect of Posen, Herr
Taubner, began an inquiry as to the
fate of the old models and drawings of
the statue of "Hygeia." That statue
Jiad been designed by the gifted Albert
Wolff a pupil of the great Rauch,
whose' glorious statue of Frederick the
Oreat adorns the lower end of Unter
den Linden. In Berlin.
Fortunatelv the director of the foun
dry at which" the original "Hygeia" had
been cast discovered the old models.
This fact was made known to the pres
ent head of the house of RaczynBki
and he expressed his desire to give the
money needed for the casting of a
new "Hygeia" for the old fountain. His
offer was accepted, and In 1908 the
Irlessnitz memorial, finished at last,
mas for the second time dedicated.
Walk a few paces south out of the
square which the Hindenburg birth
plare overlooks and you come to St.
Martlnstrasse, a long street of busi
ness houses. It runs westward three
quarters of a mile straight to a vast,
towered Romanesque building of stone
which is surrounded by gardens and
high walls and guarded by sentries at
every entrance.
In the square next to it rises a statue
of Prince Bismarck. Behind it stands
the monumental municipal theater,
where the best Polish actress in Posen
used to refuse to play, but where she
r.as appeared since the war began, for
the war has drawn the Poles and the
Oermans closer together, a result dis
tinctly outside the ante-bellum cal
culations of Russia.
Field Marshal I.Ives la Seclusion.
In the garden behind the Romanesque
building, which commands an extensive
group of other governmental buildings
in surrounding squares, there often
walks of a morniug -a silent, medita
tive old soldier who is getting almost
the only exercise he permits himself
in the course of his long days.
The soldier is Field Marshal von
Hindenburg. The building is the royal
castle or residens schloss of the pro
vince of Posen. and from its acres of
offices and corridors and halls of state
the war against Russia is being di
rected. It was five years a-building. and
was completed only in 1910. In it Paul
von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg.
returning to his home town from Han
over in his old' age. has established
himself to crown his life work.
When you read the dispatches con
cerning operations around Mlawa or
Bolimow. in Russia, and see the field
marshal's name mentioned in them, you
doubtless think of him as with the
troops. In a real sense he is. In
another he is not. The telephone and
tHa telegraph keep him in hourly and
quarter-hourly touch with them, but
the wonderful old brain that directs
the movements is busy in the residens
schloss.

From Kovno in Russia, on the extreme north, to Czernowitz, in Burko

made advances, and the shaded line shows virtually their new battle line.
This includes Plock and Lodz, in the Warsaw district, and Czentochow and
the Nida Valley, in Southern Poland, and Tarnow, in Galicia. The Germans
also claim the practical occupation of all the Carpathian passes by the com
bined German and Austro-Hungarian forces. ' v

generals and princes, but nobody pays
much attention to them. The castle
houses the tremendous personality of
Hindenburg, and that, to the world
outside, is all it means.
