ing ordnance expenditures. Accord

b. Frankfurter, expert adviser of the
war claims board. the Jones and
Laughlin Steel Company. of Pitts
burgh. with the aid or connivance OF

claim practically $350,O0O greater

excessive amount of the award made
by the zone claims board at Pitts

SHOULD BE


On Friday, August 29th, Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, called the at
tention Of the United States senate to
a series of articles which had started
in certain large newspapers of this
country telling Ludendorff's story of
the great war, and he inserted a tele-
gram from a citizen of Portland
commencing the Portland O~regonian
for it's refusal to print further
chapters of this story and recom-
mending that the federal government
should forbid at once the publication
of this story in every paper in the
United States.
why should our dead and manned
soldiers at home be profaned with
Ludendorff's story indicating Hun
brutalities ?" the Portland man asked,
and Senator Chamberlain, after
quoting from Current Opinion to show
the miserable character of this mas
ter of propaganda" asked, Are the

the German standpoint and to have
the German theory of the reason of
the war, Germany's innocence in it's
instigation, it's harmless carrying on
of the war, through the instrumental
ity of the story of this man..
rs it proposed to publish serially
or in any other way such a thing
as that?' asked Senator Lodge. And
when Chamberlain replied in the af-
irmative, Lodge said, Il trust it will
not be DONE"
81 for one," said Chamberlain,
hope that the newspapers of the
country will without any action on
the part of Congress, but simply in
spired by the same motives of pa
triotism which animated them during
the war, decline absolutely to print
this story of the war by the man who
was SO largely responsible for Ger
man cruelty and brutality"
Nevertheless the New York World
and other papers are now running
the details of the collapse of Germany
and why she lost the war as told in
"~Ludendorff's own story" and this is
labeled al event in journalism"
Yet the World brags of its patriot
ism.
TT is sufficient to say that the first
chapters are not in accord with the
preliminary announcements of the
proposed serial" said the Portland
Oregonian, announcing its cancellation
of the Ludendorff story.

THE HOME
MERCHANT

When sickness or trouble comes
to us, or hard luck, OF lean times
when work is scarce, and we need a
bit of help to tide us over until things
brighten up a bit, it is the home mer-
chant we turn to for that aid and
comfort-not the merchant in some
other town. And nine times out of
ten he responds, and extends us
credit, and helps us I'VE the rough
places in the road, carrying us some
times for months until we get on our
feet again. How many thousands
know this to be true? The home mer-
chant knows it is true, for his books
show it. And SO when things get
well with us again we ought to re-
member those things. and show the
home merchant that we appreciate
his kindness and his v ending
friendship. But how easy we forget.
