HINDENBURG ANECDOTES.
The Cologne Volkszeitung publishes a number of anecdotes about Hindenburg. It Is related in the course of the article that on one occasion when the Kaiser asked Hindenburg what he did when he was excited. Hindenburg replied, “I whistle,” The Kaiser remarked, “I have never heard you 7 t , whistle,” whereupon Hindenburg replied quietly, “Well, I have never been excited yet.” The field-marshal had a good deal to say about the dragging on of the Russian peace 'negotiations. His remark about Trotsky was perhaps characteristic. “He, too,” said Hindenburg, “will pretty soon dangle from a lamp-post.”
