WC.TU. Rolls Up Sleeves for Finish Fight
With Nicotine in Every State Of the Union
Contests Arranged and Re-
wards Offered for Best ES-
say on "ViciousneSs of Those
Given to Use of Weed"

Washington, Aug. 2-After a
two months inquiry conducted in
this city, Chicago, San Francisco
and elsewhere to determine whether
there was a concerted campaign to
bar the use of tobacco, now that
liquor has gone by the boards, the
association, opposed to national
prohibition, issued a statement here
charging that the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union was back
ing a movement to have anti-nico-
tine laws enacted in every state in
the union.
Aim at Sale, Use, Export.
The w. c. T. u. will celebrate its
fiftieth anniversary five years hence,
and TIE organization is hopeful of
having congress submit a constitu-
tional amendment before March 20,
1924, its semi-centennial, forbidding
the cultivation, sale, use or export
of the weed for smoking or chew
ing purposes, the statement
charged
The $1OOO,OOO "drive" begun last
March by the White Ribboners, it
is alleged, has for its object the
crushing of demon nicotine, and to
this end the nti-prohibitionists say.
$300,00C will be expended ostensibly
on Child welfare" health and NOR
atty" education and information
and other propaganda methods by
means of the churches and public
schools.
Hard on the Old Man"
The association Opposed to Ma
tional Prohibition further charges
the w. c. T. U. with planning to
finance its compaign against tobac-
CO without appealing directly for
funds or naming the purpose for
which the money is to be expended.
In support of this it asserts that al
ready. lin the guise of public school
recitation books which hagrantly
violate the sanctity of home and
filial DEVOTION" fathers who use to-
bacco are portrayed as filthy and
unfit for childish caresses."
James Arthur Seavey, managing
director of the association, in ex-
planning the reasons for the inves-
tigatior~ said it was started to clear
up whether or not the same pro-
fessional and paid prohibitionists
who foisted the eighteenth amend
ment upon the nation without pop
ular vote were behind the tobacco
crusade, despite their eager denials.""
Would Bar Cigarets.
The investigation disclosed, said
the statement, that bill has been
introduced in the Georgia legisla-
ture to prohibit the use of tobacco
in any form and that measures have
been taken in the legislatures of
other southern and western states
to put ban on cigarets. The Anti
Saloon league IS also accused of
actively aiding the w. c. T. U. cru
sade and of having indorsed the
slogan. Nicotine next"
DR.. P. Charles Green of Philadel-
phia was said to have protested to
the public school authorities OF his
city for permitting, he said, the w.
c. 7. U. to establish medal contests
and offer money rewards to pupils
for the best essays on the vicious
ness" OF the tobacco habit.

KAISER WANTED
PEACEDISCUSSED
IN u. S. CAPITAL
Ludendorff, Hindenburg and
Emperor All Lost Nerve
lust Prior to Armistice.

Berlin. Aug. 2-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The former German
emperor's statement on October q,
1918, that he had reached an unal-
terab1e determination to sue for a
separate peace within "a hours and
to demand an immediate armistice,
is one of the many revelations of
German war diplomacy contained in
the white book" published at Wei
mar
The former emperor's decision to
seek peace Immediately, according
to documents in the white book, he
considered necessary because he be-
lieved the people both unable and
unwilling to continue the war. The
former German rulers conscience
was said to forbid him to permit
further bloodshed.
Washington the Center.
More than a month earlier, in
September, according to the docu-
ments, General Ludendorff heard
that bulgaria had offered to sign a
separate peace. In the official dis
cussion of direct appeal to the
United States it was agreed that
Washington should be designated
as the center of peace negotiat tons,
as a matter of politeness. Austria
was consulted by telephone regard
ing the proposed appeal
On October /, Field Marshal vor
Hindenburg telegraphed to Vice
Chancellor Friedrich Won Payer.
stating that if Prince Max of Baden
should form a government, he would
agree to the appeal for peace being
delayed until the next morning, but
he insisted that the peace offer be
sent Immediately if there were any
doubts about the formation of the
Max government.
Ludendorff Lost Nerve.
On the same day General Groener
reported that General Ludendorff
had declared that delay would be
fatal, that the formation of new
government should not be awaited
and that a break in the military
line was possible at any minute
and that any peace offer obtained
would be unfavorable. General
Groener said it was his impression
General Ludendorff had lost his
nerve completely
Prince Max Immediately inquired
if Won Hindenburg was unable to
hold the front. He received an an
swer that the army stood by its de-
mand for an immediate peace offer.
Prince Max still held the matter
of peace was premature, but other
members Of the cabinet slde1 with
General Ludendo-ft ard maintained
tia; the military verdict must We al
l,erei to because if he situat ton
shm.ld be made worse by President
Wilson'S answer, the 'rmy wcu' d
seek to dodge responsibility.

thinking of the arrival OF the German
in Paris as we were a year ago, W.
we have to consider new Boisnesise
offensive, which may pass the slSluia
which might even conceivapiy ari'e
at the Rhine, obliterating in us ad-
vance all those national conceplions
in the minds of the smaller people
which were and should be the best
guaranty we have against enw storm
which has many points in common
with the storm which destroyed no
man civilization and for centuries
turned Europe back to barbarism.
A New and Great Threat.
/ do not think it is possible to ex-
aggerate the extent of pessimism, OF
apprehension, today in Paris, not
amongst members of the peace con-
ference, whose minds are fixed on
drawing lines between Poles and Ger
mans and Serbs and Roumanians
which would allocate fairly a certain
number of villages whose names are
unkonwn to the world, but amongst
these people who know the east OF
Europe, who have seen the new storm
arising, and who realize that we shall
not impossibly find ourselves before
the end of the next four months has
come in a situation as perilous as that
we faced at the moment when Ger
man troops overran KENNEL mountain
and reached the last line of defense on
the road to Calais.

rolled here in the last four months,
and allied strategy as it unrolled in
the world for nearly four years, which
only terminated when German artil-
lery was within range of Amiens and
the breach between the British and
French armies seemed about to be-
come permanent. In case OF war we
had a dozen different strategies de-
pendent on the ideas of dozen diff
ferent nations. We made war in Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa. We sent troops
needed in Flanders to Gallipoli, and
we kept them at Gallipoli until the
doom of Serbia had been sealed. We
invited Roumania to her own ruin
without any capacity for aiding her
or any accurate knowledge Of her con-
ditions. We threw awayq armies,
wasted our resources, and continued
to regard the German as beaten up to
that hour when he emerged victori-
Gus from what was, up to that mo-
ment, the greatest struggle of human
history, when, after four years, the
fate of Paris was again in jeopardy
and the arrival of Germany at the
channel ports was once more posi-
bility.
We have been doing the same thing
in Paris. There has been the same
blindness, the same inability to see
the whole field from a single point
of view, and we have about reached
the same result. Today we are not

new menace of Bolshevism, tenfold
more serious that the German often
sive of last year.
1t is a mistake to hold President
Wilson responsible primarily for the
delays and failures of the Paris con-
ference. Had Europe possessed a
clear and well-defined policy when
Mr.. Wilson reached France, he would
have been compelled to fashion his
policy in conformity with that. But
when America came to Europe for the
peace conference, it found Europe
with no policy, no unity Of command,
no comprehensive plan for settling the
world war. Mr.. Lloyd George was en-
gagged in an election, France was ut
terly exhausted with the terrible
strain of the struggle, and only be-
ginning the enormous task Of opening
her railroads and her highways
through the devastated provinces and
bringing food and fuel to millions OF
people suddenly freed from the Ger
man yoke. AS for Italy, she was en-
gagged in solving to her own satisfac-
ton the problem Of the Adriatic,
which alone concerned or interested
her.
Like the Military Policy.
l do not think there ever was a
parallel in history more complete than
the parallel between the strategy OF
the Paris conference, as 1t has I'm,

CRISIS NOW
[continued From Page One.1

there should be German dissatisfac-
ton in the future. Finally, the quarrel
between the Jugo-Slavs and the Ital-
ians continues, and still another of
those people who should be our allies
in the east against Bolshevism is dis
integrating under attacks which the
Paris conference permits to continue.
In sum, this is the situation: We
had on the eastern frontiers of Rus
STA and in the south of Europe almost
100,000,000 people who were the best
possible barrier against Bolshevism,
who needed only our material support
and assurance of our recognition of
their ultimate demands for the future,
not merely to check Bolshvism east
of the Niemen and the Dneister, but
to throw it back on Moscow Sub
stantially we have thrown away the
practical value of this aid. Substan-
TALLY we have permitted these people
to disintegrate and become them
selves material for Bolshevism at
home. Instead of erecting a barrier
against this fame coming out of Rus
STA, we actually assisted in transform
ing these margin states into in fam
mable material.
Poland Will Be Helpless.
We can no longer safely count on
the Poles, the Czecho-Slovaks the
Roumanians an dthe Ukrainians as an
adequate or even powerful obstacle
to Bolshevik advance. and we have to
consider the possibility that Bolshev-
ism will in the next few weeks sweep
into all of them and conceivably over
whelm all of them. We know that
