FRENCH GENERALSBE
GERMANY, HARDEN SAYS
Foch Far Superior to Hun Leaders,
He Declares-Calls Former En-
peror a Culprit.

PARIS, December IS (Havas).-
Harden, the German edi-
tor, in an interview has declared to
the correspondent of the Temps that
Germany was beaten by the superior
strategy of the French generals. Mar
shall Foch, he declared, was a mill
tary leader far above Ludendorff, who
had never been victorious on the
front. AS for Won Hindenburg, the
editor characterized him as little
more than 4 figur. .ead.
Harden expressed fear that the loss
Of Alsace-Lorraine would be for Ger
many wound like that suffered by
France, but he hoped that the Dor
derS would have no great important e
in the future.
He considered that the former en-
peror was not directly responsible for
the war, but that he was a great cui-
prit. for he should have been able to
avoid the catastrophe, but had not the
to say mo" at the last mo-
ment.
Concerning the present situation in
Germany, Harden believed 1t very
crisis is imminent, the revolution be-
more and moro the agitation
Of delirium. He feared the extension
of the bolshevist movement in Ger
many, IL that country were obliged
to make too great sacrifices. But he
was convinced that the socialist rev.
olution would have no influence on
France, of which the national spirit
was not prone to Marxism.

DEBS' COUNSEL ATTACKS
GOVERNMENTS POSITION
In Motion for Reversal of Judg-
ment Attorney Denies Right to
Regulate Discussion.

The right of the government. in
exercising war powers, to regulate
public discussion and freedom of
speech was denied by counsel for
Eugene V. Debs in a brief filed yes
terday in the Supreme Court. asking
reversal Of judgments sentencing
Debs to ten years Imprisonment be-
cause of statements made in a
speech in Canton, Ohio, June 16 last.
Declaring Debs' conviction rests
squarely upon his 'seditious temper.
the brief arraignS the courts of the
country because of their attitude to-
ward the espionage act.
practically all of the cases since
the adoption of the espionage act. in
dealing with the right OF free speech"
said the brief. while giving some
measure of verbal recognition to that
right. have abruptly swept aside any
consideration of such right in con-
fiict with the general war purposes of
the government. The inference of
these decisions and the obvious theory
of the amendments to the espionage
act added in May, 1918, in that public
discussions can be constitutionally
controlled as an incident to the war
power. We earnestly submit that
such Interpretation of the right of
free speech is careless sweeping
aside of the most vital principle of
American freedom, not only without
affirmative constitutional warrant, but
in the face Of the direct prohibition
of the first constitutional amend
ment."

URGES ISSUE OF MEDALS
TO THE DRAFT OFFICIALS
Secretary Baker Would Reward the
Men Who Administered Selec-
tive Service Law.

Legislation authorizing medals for
members of Army draft boards and
state officials who helped administer
the selective service law was urged
yesterday by Secretary Baker in a
letter to Chairman Dent of the House
military committee.
In all the vast and exTgent work
of the war" Mr.. Baker wrote. mo
enacted by the Congress
stands out more completely justified
in the wisdom of its policy than the
selective service system.
Comparisons among citizens of the
country who performed each in his
own place service in the national
cause would be invidious. and yet 1
venture to doubt whether there has
been more inspiring picture of
fidelity than was given by members
of these boards"
