which charged that Senator Var
daman is being abused, malign.
ed. misrepresented and slandered
by a hostile press, "Missourian.' -
writing in The Aberdeen Exam
liner, furnishes additional proof
that this thing is being done.
Missourian rehashes the same old
charges in the same old way,
submitting no testimony to dis
prove any item in the bill of par
ticulars cited by this paper.
His reply bears the unmistak-
able earmarks of lawyer, who
by adrOit lodges. seeks to evade
the points at issue by skillful ma
neuverings known only to men
of that ilk.
MissOurian does not controyert
that Senator Vardaman employ
ed the words of another which
that other assigned as the cause
for our entrance into the war
when he (Vardaman) repeated
the Objectionable words about
"stabbing Germany in the back. :"
A point not contrOverted in law
is admitted as fact by the defend
ant. In that sense Missourian
admits that the words about
"stabbing Germany in the back"
were repeated by Mr.. Vardaman
as the cause given by another for
our entrance into the war. We
would wager dollars to dough
nuts that Missourian has repeat
ed the same words numberless
times in his doomed to failure
effort to get Mr.. Vardaman's Sen
atorial scalp.
After the manner of lawyers,
he attempts TO muddle the fact
by impeaching the character of
the witness. He attacks the
standing of one Mr.. F. D. Lam
der who holds the original copy
of the interview. and who expos
ed the distorted version of it.
He asks who Lander's paymas-
ter ISL" We believe it is Mr.. Ian
der's conscience which always
rewards an honest man when he
has responded to the cause of |
justice. However, who Lander
is, is immaterial to the truth in
this case; facts are always truth
regardless of their source, or the
name by which that source is
called.
Lander might be called a pa
triot or a traitor. the truth of the
fact founded in the source, the

Americans Worry Won Hindenburo.
by ]. w. T. Mason, United Press War
Expert
NEW YORK, June 12.-Von linden
burg is showing serious uneasiness at
the terrible death toll which is being
exacted by the French along the Com
piegne front.
There is q noticeable weakening of
the German attack, which can be ac-
counted for only by the grave dang er
that is threatening Germany through
Hindenburg' mad slaughter of his re-
serves Compiegne is still for sale at
its adequate price in German blood,
but Hindenburg is pausing earlier in
the quest than he has done during any
of his three previous offensives this
spring.
There is being exerted at German
headquarters new influence. This
influence is the fighting quality of the
American troops. Hindenburg must
now realize that for every unit of his
reserves slaughtered in battle or i'm
modified by being put to protecting
extended fronts, at least two units OF
American fighting material is being
added to General Foch's strength.
The capture of Belleau wood by the
Americans yesterday cannot be re-
Earded as an isolated affair. Although
the scene of the engagement is nearly
forty miles away from the battle for
