...Kreuznach on the Rhine, G.H.Q. of the German Army from August 1916 to February 1918, gallant, gruff old President Paul von Hindenburg last week halted his triumphal tour of the liberated Rhine provinces (TIME, July 14 et seq.) to stalk stiffly about the buildings where he had worked so long, so dishearteningly.
