WASHINGTON, May 5.-The text Of
spondence between General Won
and Chancellor Scheide-
mann, in which the former Quarter-
master general of the German army de-
fends himself against the Chancellor's
criticisms, have been received here
through official channels.
The first letter, dated February %,
1919, from Ludendorff to Scheidemann,
follows:
"On my return to Germany have
learned details of your excellency's re-
marks about me and your exchange Of
letters with Won Hindenburg.
"Your excellency has termed an ad
venturer a man who stakes all on one
card without considering the conse-

may entail. Such an adventurer have

Washington, May 3o--With its sig

but consecrated by the knowledge of
what the loss of so many Of the best
of young American manhood has won
for the world, memorial day this year
brings TO the nation a full realization
of the price paid to rid the world OF
autocracy. AT the same time II
brings especially to those whose dear
ones paid the supreme price, a proud
knowledge that America took her
rightful place in the world events OF
the past year with all her mighty
power and resources and that our gal
liant boys had such a decisive part in
shattering the Hohnezollern dream OF
world dominion.

MONOGRAM NIL JOIN
WILLARD CAMP MONDAY

championship bout July 4, was all
smiles today as result of a telegram
he received from Walter Monahan
stating the heavyweight tighter would

Monohan has been with an army hos

time, but was recently transferred to
Newport News, Va. For some time
efforts have been made to hasten
Monohan's discharge to insure his
presence in Wizards camp when the
big fellow settles down to hard train
ing.
Word that the discharge has been
granted and that Monohan will be
here in time to boss the training job
takes a load off Archer's' mind and
doubtless will make the champion feel
easier when he hears it.
"Monohan is the best trainer in the
world, and a wonderful sparring part
ner in addition" Archer declared to-
day. HE weighs go pounds now.
This will be the third big bout he has
trained Jess for, that at Havana being
the first
Archer stated willard will positively
be here not later than Monday.
