HINDENBURG'S CONTEMPT
FOR THE ALL-HIGHEST. The Berne correspondent of the 'ldea Nazionale' states that among the latest stories- of Hindenburg is one which eays that feelings of jealousy and personal dislike between him and the Kaiser have reached an actute stage. It is asserted that Germany's military hero permits himself the ' -utmost freedom in criticising the policy of the Kaiser, and makes no effort to" hide his contempt for the Emperor's military incompetence. For a long time the Fieldmarshal has neglected to consult the Kaiser on military operations, and latterly he has not even troubled to send reports to him.' The Emperor, it is said, has many times reprimanded Hindenburg for his great discourtesy, and to General Ludendorff has fallen the thankless task of smoothing over the differences between the two. For the Crown Prince and other German kings and princes Hindenburg openly evinces a profound dislike. He completely ignores the Kings of Bavaria and Saxony and the Grand Duke of Baden. It is further declared that in Court circles the insolence of Hindenburg has • become intolerable, and that he is cordially hated by the Empress on account of his "incredibly gross manners."
