were LudcndOrff'S clerks and the Refchstag was machine for re- cording his will. Not since Napo- Icon has so much actual power been concentrated in the hands of n single man as this type-Prussian welded in the last phase of Ger many's desperate gamble for the mastery of the world.
 There is plenty of the old Prus- sian synicism in Ludcndorffs mar rative. He talks in the spirit of Frederick the Great, to whom noth- ing was immortal except failure, nothing criminal except lack of sue cess. A characteristic example is LudendOrff's reference to the Ger man intrigues with Mexico, which were exposed when the United states government made public the Zimmermann note. The shameless ness of this plot against a country with which Germany was then at peace brings nc rebuke from Luden- dorff. What incenses him is the fact that "in spite of my warnings the Foreign Office had used mn am tiquated and easily deciphersbIe code.
 With equal frankness, Ludendorff confesses that the United States was driven into the war as a mat ter of General staff policy. with the help of our submarines.- he says, i've reckoned on decision in our favor, at the very latest be- fore America with her new armies could intervene ip the war;
 Senator Cham berlain, Senator Lodge and other timid patriots who h.I nre unfit to form any opinions of their own have protested against the publication of the Ludeudorff memoirs on the ground that they are .'proPaganda." To be sure they are propaganda, but not the kind of propaganda that these Senators suspect. On the whole they are the most complete vindication of the United States, it's policies md it's motives, that any American could desire. But were they less so, their publication would be no less journalistic duty.
 They are an essential part of the record. and the American pe0- pie are quite competent to estimate them at their exact value. Nobody is going to turn back the clock of history and give the victory to Im- periaI Germany because of any thing that Ludenderff says, nl- though this is what Senator Cham bcrlain and Senator Lodge seem to fear.
 The time has come to end all this direct and indirect censorship, give the American people the evidence and let them draw their own con- c1usiOns. They are not babies who must be kept forever in intellectual swaddling clothes, pap-fed on bot tied opinions. There has been too much of that already. The war Is over and anybody who is now afraid of n ghost.
 The World Is not impressed by any of the protests that have been made against the publication of the Ludendorff memoirs. We wish only that all the secret archives of tho Imperial German government. that all the personal narratives of the men who were masters of Germany during this conflict. could be drag ged forthwith into light. We can conceive of no other revelations that would do SO much to stabilize the world politically and write the final epitaph of imperial ambi- ton. Whatever attempts mny be made at defense or extension, his tory provides 10 more impressive warning.

believe in just peace. Up till now the enemy had invariably rejected a peace by understanding. Should we, in &the actual situation, have offered him Alsace-Lorraine. parts of the pro vince of Posen and an indemnity? (This observation is reply to Ger man critics who have charged he could have avoided the great slaughter of 1918 by offering reasonable terms of restitution to the entente.)
 Nor did the imperial government mem tion the possibility of peace. Secretary of State Von Kuhlman, who was sup posed to be conducting the whole of our foreign policy, was first at Brest and then at Bucharest Neither he nor the imperial chancellor had been able to open up any negotiations which might have led to peace without further fight ing.
 They probably continued their en- deavors in that direction, in spite of the ententes refusal of the invitation to Brest. 1t was their duty to spare the people and army further fighting: if possible. Count Hertling's decIara- tion of February 25, in which he took his stand on President Wilson's four (sic) points of February II, had met with no response from the entente.
 SECRET PEACE FEELERS
 Colonel Won Haeften had just been visiting foreign countries, in order to discuss questions relating to propa- ganda. Without my Knowledge. he es- tablished communication with sub ject of one of the enemy countries, who was acquainted with the objects and intentions of the authorities in London and Washington, and made me a verbal report on the subject.
 The terms then demanded of us were so severe that only a defeated Germany could have acceded to them. The colonel further informed me that the then Reichstag deputy. Conrad Hauszmann, who has since confirmed this statement, and Herr Max War burg Hamburg had also tried to ne , gotiate peace but without success The government, never informed me of these events, though it must have known of them.
 nm alI the more surprised that it did not contradict the rumor that a peace would have been arranged in March if I had not insisted on at- tacking. I personally requested the imperial chancellor and the vice chancellor to do so.. They both of them refrained. without ever giving me any reason for it.
 Early in March G. H. c. left Kreuz- nach,swhere it had been for more than a year.
 The new headquarters had in the meantime been established at Spa. We got every accommodation there. The offices were in the Hotel Britannique. in which I had been billeted before Curing our invasion of Belgium in the autumn of 1914. Spa was much nearer inc front and with NarYierS.

IS Qdlly III tillS newspaper. To the Editor of The Age-HeraId
 As reader of your paper, I enter Of the Ludendorff articles that are now daily appearing in your paper. l am not unmindfuI of the fact that great newspaper has and should exercise considerable latitude. At the same time i, Is my humble Judgment that these articles are German propagaaGa, pure and simple. Earlier in the German con troyersy your paper published a series of articles purporting to come from the pen of one Dr. Davis, the reputed dentist of the kaiser. These in my judgment were Ger man propaganda. l do not believe that this kind of subject matter should now appear In American papers. It has seemed strange to me that great American papers would permit such articles in its columns. It Is true they may be paid for but this is n time when real true Americans should not quibbie over money matters when the honor and safety of the coun- try are involved. It Is significant to me that the Ludendorff articles should appear in the press of the country just at the time when the ratification of the treaty Is in- volved and when President Wilson Is putting forth his best effort to sound the sentiment of the nation and to make the ratification an accomplished fact. In my opinion both the Davis articles and the ones that are now running in your paper are poisoned with German ism through and through. I find in discussing this matter that I do not stand alone in my opinion. I have heard both the Davis articles and the Ludendorff articles con- demned far and wide.
 In conclusion permit me to say that it is my opinion that the ef- feet of these articles is anti-Am- erican and that no true American newspaper should publish them. I appreciate The AEe-HeraId and consider it one of the most re- liable papers in the state, but I do not think that such things should be published in it.
 Yours truly,
 W. s. WEIGH. Bessemer, September II, 1919.

The Ludendorff articles are now ap- bearing in approximately seventy five of the leading newspapers of America. The Age-Herald paid for the publica- tion rights in Alabama the highest price ever paid for newspaper feature in the southern states. In view of MT. Welch's critism The Age-Herald feels that the New York World has already replied to similar criticism in such ad- mirable manner that it cannot do better than reproduce herewith an edi- torial which appeared in that news paper last Sunday It reads:
 It is to Ludendorffs memoirs
 that we must look for the explana-
 tion from the German point of
 view of the debacIe that left an em-
 pire in ruins.
 In many respects LudendOrff is
 the most dramatic ms we'll as the
 most sinister figure of the war,
 for he is the very embodiment of
 Prussian militarism. Emerging from
 Obscurity, he became by virture of
 his military talents and his domf-
 hating personality the dictator of
 Germany. He was the army and he
 was the civil government. The
 Kaiser was n puppet. The Chan
