EMPEROR JOYOUS
OVER ELECTION
VON HINDENBURG
(Continued from Page One'
many months until in 1920, the Berlin
police confiscated what had once been
a valuable piece of imperial property.
Upon taking supreme, command of
the German armies, von Hindeburg j
reassured the waning hopes of the
people. They had expected a victo- j
rious short war and other command
ers had disappointed them. Von Hin
denburg prophesied the extermina
tion of France. He was at first op
posed to unrestricted U-boat warfare,
but finally favored it. He also was
accused of ordering the deportation
of thousands of men. women and chil
dren from Belgium and Northern
France into slavery in Germany. He
promised the emperor a strong Ger
man peace by August, 1917, and he
later said he would be in Paris by
April 1, 1918.
He was confident the struggle would
be won by Germany before America
could land an effective army overseas,
and derided the United States and
said its efforts reminded him of P. T.
Barnum. the showman. He built the
famous Hindenbdrg Line, a system of
communicating trenches and concrete
fortifications extending from the
North Sea to Switzerland. They were
supposed to be impregnable and the
highest type of German engineering
skill.
Von Hindenburg suffered the first
shock when after having ordered his j
troops to hold the town of Passchen
daele, Belguim. “at all costs,” a divi
sion of Canadians stormed the town
and captured it. British, American
and French gunners finally smashed
the famous line to pieces. Notwith
sanding his reverses he conducted a
safe retreat and received the tele
graphic congratulations of the War
Lord, but the Allied offensive made
resistance hopeless.
On October 3, 1918, von Hindenburg
was called to Berlin and there attend
ed the council at which Prince Maxi
milian of Baden was made chancellor.
There the conqueror of Tannenburg
presented the facts that on October
15 resulted in the armistice proposal
to the Allies by Germany. He told
his Bearers that to continue the strug
gle longer would only result in horri
ble losses and a devastated Germany.
The next day abusive * placards,
holding up vonHindenburg to obliquoy
and ridicule were posted all over the
empire. The man once the idol of
the nation was now detested and de
nounced and with his fall came top
pling down the Hohenzollern dynasty
which had failed to prove that “right
can be overcome by might.”
In an order to the army in the
field he announced that he support
ed all government peace moves. Sub
sequently the armistice signed and
the former emperor and crown prince
fugitives in Holland, he went to Eys
den and after a conference with the
j former emperor, placed the army at
; the disposal of the revolutionary gov
t eminent.
I
The former chief of the German
General Staff wrote his memoirs in
1919 and for them was said to have
received 4,000,000 marks. In them
von Hindenburg defended ex-Empe
ror William, admitted forcing the
ruthless U-boat war and explained
the causes which led up to the world
confilict. He resigned command of
the German army in June, 1919.
President Ebert, in assenting to
the Field Marshal’s request, express
ed the undying thanks of the German
people for von Hindenburg’s services
and self sacrifice.
Of late years sentiment in favor
of von Hindenburg has gradually in
creased resulting in his nomination
and election as president of the Ger
man republic.
NEW RAILROAD
INCORPORATED
Articles of incorporation of the
Prince William Sound Railroad Com
pany have been filed in the office of
the Secretary of Alaska. The incor
porators are George W. Robbins, Geo.
J. Love and Joseph L. Reed of Valdez.
The company is incorporated for one
hundred thousand dollars, divided
into 10,000 shares at $10 each, com
mon stock.
Members of the board of directors
to serve until a board is elected, are
George W. Robbins, George J. Love,
Joseph L. Reed, John E. Hughes, and
Chester J. Todd, all of Valdez.
The articles of incorporation call
for the construction of a main line of
railroad from some point on or near
tide water at the head of Passage Ca
nal, Prince William Sound, in a gen
eral westerly direction by a practi
cable route to a point on the Alaska
Railroad, at or near Portage, Alaska.
The original survey of the line from
the Alaska railroad to Portage Bay,
shows that a tunnel six miles long
would have to be constructed, and
part of this tunnel would run under
a live glacier. The estimated cost for
the short stretch of line, at 1915
prices for labor and material, was
about $15,000,000, but it has since
been stated that it would be impossi
ble to maintain a railroad up the val
ley from the Alaskan railroad owing
to annual floods, resulting from lakes
forming in the large glacier at the
head of the valley. Mr. John E. Bal
laine has all the survey and field notes
and is authority for saying that if a
railroad could have been built from
Portage Bay he would have built from
there instead of from Seward.
The $100,000 capital, if subscribed
would not construct a mile of the ne
cessary tunnel.
Testifying in her divorce suit, a St.
Paul woman said her husband got a
permanent wave while intoxicated.
He also waived appearance in court.

ROY CLARK AND
BRIDE ON WATSON
Roy E. Clark, accompanied by his
| bride of three months, arrived in
j Seward on the Admiral Watson this
morning en route to his home in Ko
diak, where he is connected with the
| Alaska Experiment Station at that
place.
Mr. Clark passed through Seward in
May, 1922, on his way to the states
to secure medical treatment. While
overseas he received a fractured
spine, and after returning to this
country everything seemed well until
he met with a slight accident which
! brought a relapse. He immediately
sought medical aid and left Kodiak for
Anchorage, where he consulted Dr.
Beeson who advised him to go outside
for help, as there were not enough
surgeons in Anchorage at the time to
perform the operation necessary.
Leaving here May 1 Mr. Clark went
to Seattle and immediately entered
the Swedish hospital, under care of
Dr. H. T. Buckner.
In order to remedy his splintered
spine it was necessary to perform an
operation on his shinbone and graft
from this onto his spine. This opera
tion being performed, the next wras
to cut into the spinal column and
graft onto the spine by what is known
by surgeons as the Albey operation.
The only operation of its kind ever
performed in Seattle was performed
on Mr. Clark, 37 surgeons being in at
tendance at the time.
After convalescing in the hospital
for several years he finally became
strong enough to be about, and about
three months ago was married to a
graduate nurse in the institution in
which he was so long confined. Mr.
Clark is bringing north with him two
police dogs of the German variety,
which will be used in the Kodiak ex
perimental station for breeding pur
poses. More will be added at a later
date.
About three years ago. when Mr.
Clark was in Kodiak, he proved up
on a homestead, and received his pat
ent before leaving for Seattle. He will
return to Kodiak on the Watson, which
leaves tonight at 6 o’clock, and live
on his homestead which adjoins the
experimental station.
