...with his troops, ready to take what was coming to him. There came another retirement for Old Paul until 1925, when Junker and Royalist factions decided that the way to restore the monarchy was to elect Old Paul, most faithful of the Kaiser's servants, President of the Reich to succeed President Ebert. They did, but they forgot the old man's sense of duty. When he took the oath to defend the German Constitution he meant every word of it. He has not deviated.

The Realm or Reich remains-as a republic. Last week the victorious Imperial banners of 1871 were unfurled again in the Reichstag (this time by steel-helmeted Republican troops) and old Paul von Hindenburg, President of the Republic, searched his heart. He is 83. To a microphone, directly after...
