L~UDENDORFF,s TOR

Gen. Won Ludendorff has written a history of the world war
which a syndicate is selling to newspapers throughout the country
Senator Chamberlain and Senator Knox have asked the papers
to refrain from publishing the story, They declare that il is pure
German propaganda, ..'
Ludendorff is pointed out as the foremost Of German propa-
gandists, whose door is open always to the reporter who will give
circulation to the material he has for public consumption,
The News Scimitar did not purchase the Ludendorff story
so it makes no especial difference to us, so far as this particular
story is concerned, what attitude the public may take toward it.
But it does seem that it is about time the newspapers were per-
mtted TO print something besides the stuff sent out by hired press
agents OF the government without having their patriotism assaned,
1t does not lie in the province of Senator Chamberlain nor any
other official to pass upon the patriotism OF the newspapers. 1t
is gratuitous for him to say that the vast majority of the papers
OF the United States were patriotic during the war, for they were,
and then add that he hopes they will continue to be patriotic
and not print something that he does not approve of and thereby
become, in the ~twinking of an eye, unpatriotic.
The freedom Of the press is not I. liberty that the humbest
individual does not possess, No reasonable newspaper and no
reasonable newspaper man wants to print anything about a man
that would not be said as readily to the persons face. The news.
papers do not need and do not deserve any special consideration.
They have no right to assail the character Of a man or an insti-
tuition without being held responsible in the courts. So long as
they exhibit a proper regard for the rights of others they are in
no danger, and any man who infringes upon the rights OF his
fellow man will sooner or later find himself in trouble.
IT anybody wants to print Gen. L~udendorffs version of The
war we can see no reason why 1t should not be done, and il any,
one does not want to read it there is no reason why they should
But there are a lot Of inqustive persons in this country.
They want to know what the Germans, the Italians, the French
and the Yaps are thinking and talking about. The best way to
give circulation to a story is to advertise that it is something that
should not be read, $50 M

CHINESE OFFICIAL RAPS
JAP CLAIMS IN SHANTUMG

NEW YORK, Sept, 5.-Tai Chi Quo,
Chinese technical delegate to the. peace
conference, replying to a statement by
Yosuke Matsuoka, secretary OF the Jap
anese peace delegation, regarding the
possibility of Japan's early withdrawal
from the province of Shantung, said to-
day:
German rights in Shantung originated
in an act of Prussian aggression and
piracy. Japan in driving Germany out
Of China prevented China from partic-
ipating In the joint An~glo-Japanese mill
tary operations against the German
forces in order to replace Germany in
Shantung.
although China was SO prevented by
Japan from participating in the recov-
cry of Kiao-Chau, yet in the actual
military operations in the Shantung
province the Chinese populace suffered
untold hardship and immense loss as
the result of acts of aggression ana
violence on the part of japanese SOL
diers.
"China would prefer to have Germany
in Shantung instead of Japan II that
were the only alternative, because a
ting is far removed from Germany,
while in the hands Of the Japanese
there is added danger to China on ac-
count of Japan's already strongly for
titled possessions in Korea and South

What many people have thought and a few quietly pre-
dcted may be coming to pass. AT least the whispering winds
and the solennly silent cables are bearing the message. Ger
many, defeated, but defiant, as not content to remain a memory,
and is trying to reach an understanding with Russia. This done,
Japan is to be taken into the new organization, and Italy is
being sounded. If these four powers unite there will be some
thing doing in Europe, at least, and we may have to sit I'D and
take notice il Japan and Mexico swing the combination against
us. We have a fleet in the Pacific, but in case of trouble we
will need the league of nations, and those in the senate who
are seeking to delay or destroy it will be anathema.
Our relations with Russia are chaotic, in spite of the tradi-
tonal friendship between the two countries. Friends or enc
mics, we cannot tell which, Our relations cannot be reduced
to terms OF diplomacy. Italy is much dissatisfied with the terms
OF the Paris conference, and, like all other Latin, and, to a large
extent, like all European countries, she believes in Machiavellian
diplomacy. We may have as early and as imperative a need
Tor the league OF nations as France or any other nation, and
the future is not withoutsits clouds.
Germany is our enemy without disguise or ambush, save as
she seeks an eligible place whence to strike. Italy has no love
for us. Fiume and the Adriatic coast are lost to her, and these
losses rankle in her bosom. The allies may have the power ant
influence to call a halt to the combination of the four power,
that is said to be i'll process of formation. If { is not done thu
future will see trouble on both sides of the Atlantic. Soutl
and Central America are profuse in their professions of pan
Amerlcanism, and their loyalty to their big brother to the north
but like Mexico, they are an uncertain quantity that canno
safely be trusted. Meantime we must look out prudently fo
ourselves and not forget that in spite of Hands across the sea,
Blood is thicker than water and other bushwah, England an,
Japan have a secret treaty, offensive and defensive.

The Public Be SerUgd
TO RUMANIA
FIRM, But POLITE

PARIS, Sept. 5.-(Havasl.-The note
OF the supreme council which Sir George
<. Clerk, Of the British foreign office,
- carrying to Bucharest, is couched
IN firm but cordial language, accord
ing TO the Petit Parisien today. II says

George is taking with him the rs radio
grams which the Rumanian delegation is
reported to have declared were sent
from Paris to the Rumanian govern
nlent within the last two weeks but
none OF which reached its destination,
Rumania claiming a similar failure OF
the various allied notes to reach her.
AS to the new allied note the Journal
says 1t declares the peace conference
considers Rumania as a faithful friend,
expresses the wish that its government
will not detach itself from tile body of
the allies, requests explanations on a
ricus points, asks that Rumania evac-
uate Hungary speedily and meanwhile
cease requisitioning supplies, while put
ting the material already requisitioned
at the disposal of the. allies for the
purpose of making a just division Of it
or its equivalent among the various ma
lions having claims against Hungary.

1t is very plain that the three youths
who committed such dastardly crime as
assaulting young girls IN Memphis

OF this sort within the last few years
has been confined to some fifteen or

clique"
Whenever those boys were arrested
for lettering (Which was very infre.-
uuent) they hardly ever were fined

one or more of these boys who are being
held for criminal assault. II the laws ol

tion with assaults on three young girls
last Friday night, had been discov-
cred by authorities Friday morning,
Longley seemed to have disappeared as
though the earth had opened and swal-
loved him.,
1t is believed by Sheriff o. H. Perry
that Longley had transportation in his
pocket to Atlanta, Ca, at the time he
fled from the scene OF the assault.
Longley had a medical examination
In Memphis several days before the
assault. He stated to the examining
physician that the examination was for
the purpose of enabling him to enter
n school at Atlanta, conducted by the
government,
While II is believed extremely UNI
likely that Longley would go to the
school, TO which II Is understood his
transportation already had been given
him. still, Sheriff Perry lnclines TO
the belief that Longley awaited himself
OF the transportation he had in his
pocket.

held In the county jail for alleged par
~ticipation with the assaults on the girls,
