"Like Lincoln"
Newsgatherers crowded with darting pencils around Baron Adolph George Otto Ago von Maltzan last week in Berlin. They heard the Baron tell with gusto about "my wonderful trip through America." His words had weight and interest because Baron von Maltzan is German Ambassador to the U. S. Home on a brief vacation, he said:
"I have learned that the German in whom Americans are most interested is President von Hindenburg. He is often compared with Washington, but I believe that he is more like Lincoln. He is not, like Washington, the founder of his country; but, like Lincoln, he is the preserver of its unity and the reconciler of its two hostile camps [Monarchist and Socialist]."
