LUDENDoRFF-s DISCLOSURES

of the war, had come to be the master
of German policy, discloses the work.
ings of the German mind. Ludendorff,
whose confessions are being published
daily in The Plain Dealer. does not
envisage himself as man making a
confession or as an apologist. He
writes as a cold blooded historian, tell
ing why Germany lost. He sees no
inevitable justice in the outcome of the
war. He does not regret the U-boat
horribleness. He makes no apology for
poison gas, or for any other German
many's Mistakes with never an express
sion of contrition.
Ludendorffs story is very good read
ing. 1t is excellent material for the
historian. 1t is fine stuff for the
strategist. 1t is wonderful data for the
psychologist. But, more than that all
this, it is a valuable exhibition Of
Prussianism unrepentant Prussianism
is beaten down into the dust, but Prus-
sianism, through the voice of Erich
Won Ludendorff. declares that Prus-
sianism has no word of sorrow for it's
more than monumental crime. Erich
Won Ludendorff feels no measure BILE
regret for the Germans who were kill
ed They were no more than cogs in a
majestically ungodly machine. Could
such man be expected to talk of sor-
row for the iniquities of Germany's
armed might? All the atrociousness Of
German warning is discussed as dispas-
sionately as country schoolmaster's
exposition of the rule of three.
Germanism has raised it's ugly head
in the United States. The armistice has
brought tolerance. and the German dis
loyalists. who for part of two years
were checked into silence, are again

lated frightfulness should once more

Auditorium and High
School Buildings

ID IRMINGHAM'S election for bond
~ issues for four and half mil
lions dollars respectively for high
schools, grammar schools, auditorium,
lefty hall and fire department, having
been carried by overwhelming ma
jorities the people naturally wonder
why the work of one or more of these
projects is not under way.
The main thing has been accom-
|plished-the ratification of the bond
tissue proposition.
The city commission is mindful of
the situation, and it has been decided
that bids for bonds for the high
schools will be advertised for on De-
Icember /.
The bonds will be in demand and
lit may be assumed that ground will
be broken for the Central High school
early in the spring; and for the Wood
lawn High school by February.
The auditorium and the city hall
will probably be financed under the
same head, that is to say by develop
ling scheme of revenue from the
rentals from the present city hall.
It may be several months before this
is accomplished, but its safe to say
that the auditorium will be we'll under
way by March or April.
The auditorium will be a large and
building and it will take a
year to complete it; but Birmingham
will have the satisfaction of know
ing when it is ready for occupancy the
city will have one of the handsomest
edifices in the country.
The city commission and the advis-
DRY committee will meet this week to
consider the question of details of the
auditorium. 1t is none too early. A
site must be optioned and many other
features looked after. Let's have as
early start on the building as posi-

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
81 so many of our would-be inter-
IN nationalist are frank to tell us
II these days that there is no Amer
lean type, that our institutions are with
out results in character forming and our
the mind, it is rather pleasant to note
that General Pershing takes no stock in
any such balderdash, which can be safe
)ly left to the parlor socialists to null
over. For the general. in the moment of
his greatest triumph in his home coming,
never forgot the man in the trenches,
the doughboy; and when asked it did not
take him very long to say that the
American soldier was the finest soldier
in the world, and to give his reasons
therefor. What General Pershing said
the issue of war or the emergencies of
the battlefield. For, as he put it sue
cinctly, 1.-The American soldier is the
finest because of the way our boys are
raised From childhood he is encour-
aged to take the initiative and to feel
at the start that he is master Of his
own destiny. That is why he is able to
do what he did; and judging him from
what he did, we have every right to
boast and be proud of the American
doughboy, and there is no doubt Of
that"
That this evaluation by General Per-
shing is no idle compliment is borne out
by the fact Of what he and the boys did
in the six months which began about
June and ended on November II to bring
Germany to her knees. For while this
relatively brief period in which the
troops of the United States were actively
engaged in open warfare seems almost
negligible as compared with the four
years and more of the war as whole,
it was, as all the world knows today.
the determining period. and it was de-
termined by reason of the spirit and the
resources Of the American army and its
chief component. the doughhoys. For If
nothing else proved this, the famous
st. Mihiel drive. which in q hours forced
the enemy out of the territory it had
occupied for four years in the face Of
repeated attacks. and which released 200
square miles Of territory. captured 1881
prisoners, 45s guns and 752 machine guns,
would prove It. to say nothing Of the
great Meuse-Argonne offensive wherein
the Pershing strategy Of drawing the
best German divisions to our front to
consume them succeeded because the
army performed almost superhuman
feats.
That they were thus able to recall the
golden age Of the intrepid heroes whose
deeds have always fired the hearts a
youth in these concentrated six months
was due entirely to our American edu-
cation and to our method OF living. Gem
eral Pershing is quite right. We have a
national type, and as psychologist he
is also correct in attributing the success
Of the doughboy to his training in initial
