SAYS ALLIES LOSSES
HEAVIEST AT SOMME

Berlin. Oct. t0.--In defense OF his
administrative career as chief of
staff of the German armies In 1915
and 1916. General Erich Won Falken-
hayn denies that German losses at
Verdun were excessive. He declares
they were under those of the enemy.
German defensive operations at the
Somme, he declares, were efsectiye
under direction whereas only limited
results previously had been achiev-
ed. The success of the English and
French at the Somme. he claims,
were possible only because of Aus
trian collapse which necessitated the
dispatch of heavy reinforcements to
the eastern front.
Won Falkenhayn declares the swift
success OF the Rumanian campaign
which he commanded after his dis
missal rs chief of stan was due pri-
marily to exhaustive preparations of
the general staff before his retire
ment.

NELSON PREFERS
Japan T0GERMANY
Minnesota Senator Says Opponents
TO League Are Living In Past,
and Paint Lurid Pictures

Washington, Oct. 1O.-Senator
Nelson, republican Of Minnesota,
pleading In the senate for lasting
peace. declared he could not sympa-
thize with the sentiment OF the
Eleague OF nations opponents that
would have this country crawl into
closed shell with no other label
than the Monroe doctrine.
Statesmanship which is oblivIous
to the importance OF providing by
all reasonable methods against the
recurrence of war" said Senator
Nelson. and insists on standing still
until war actually occurs. is short
sighted. lives in the past. lacks a
world vision and overlooks the fact
that worlds war should result In a
worlds peace, and that such peace
should be OF permanent character" I"
The senator charged that when all
other arguments against the peace
treaty failed. those who openly or
covertly desired to defeat It, resorted
to a scare about England and Jap
anese, 'and paint in lurid colors the
threatening dangers from them"
This was the favorite policy. he
said. adopted by those who during
the war sympathized with the enemy.
There was a time not long ago,
the Minnesota senator declared when
the United States sent warships to
"chastise Barbary pirates without
even a declaration OF war" while
now when still technically at war.
I'VE grow nervous over the landing
of few American marines in a small
part Of the Dalmatian coast" Th,S
nervousness. he added, was like the
greater nervousness manifested to-
ward England and Japan.
As to Shantung, while / am clear
that 1t should be restored to China.
