BERLIN, Nov. 18.-Germany's un
restricted U-boat campaign was ap
proved by Field Marshai Won Hinden
burg and General Ludendorff be
cause it was necessary TO prevent
Germany's soldiers from being killed
by American munitions and Ger
many's women and children from
being starved by the entente block
ade," the field marshal today told the
reichstag committee investigating the
war.
Germany would have declared un
restricted udersea warfare sooner
Ludendorff declared before the com
mittee, had she not feared Grea,
Britain would use it as a lever te
force Holland and Denmark to de
clare war upon Germany. The gov
ernment feared attacks from these
two small countries, particularly be.
cause troops were not available to
stave off new attacks. Ludendorf
said.
The proportionate strength of Ger
many and the allies was unfavorable
to German arms, from the start OF
the war, Won Hindenburg said, yet
Germany would have won, he de-
clared. had she been able to bring
about the same cooperation between
all elements that Great Britain and
France did.
Germany did not want war, Won
Hindenburg declared. Neither the
people, the kaiser, the government
nor the general staff desired armed
conflict, he said. The general stan,
particularly, he asserted, was fully
aware of the strength of the entente.
If it urged preparation for war it was
only because it considered its duty
to the nation, he declared.
Had there been solid cooperation
between the army and the home
land, however, we would have been
victorious"
Won Hindenburg said party inter
ests led to the breaking of the will
of victory"
Rumors of demonstrations by ma
tionalists and communists led the
government to place guards along
Won Hindenburg's route TO the reich
stag building. No disorders occur
red, however. Some members Of the
Lutzow corps were arrested in front
of Won Hindenburg's home for DEM
onstrating there yesterday.
No soldier believed Americas neu-
trality was honest General Luden-
dorff told the committee. President
Wilson placed Americas resources at
the disposal of the entente, he said
Ludendorff agreed with Won Hin
denburg's testimony that Germany
was stabbed in the back" by the
revolution.

spectacular train robberies in Wyo-

consideration for women and chill

his first holdup yesteray. he defied

The train was stopped and the
armed guards, led by United States
Marshal D. F. Hudson, passenger,
looked for the holdup. Apparently
going to Medicine Bow, Carlisle ran

just after posse had left the special

This nervy performance further con-
vinced the authoxities the hunted
man was Carlisle, whose career in
1916 was featured by similar deeds.
From the posses train the bandit
took three rifles and large quantity
of ammunition With these and an
other high-powered rifle, which he

Every train passing through Wyo-

bandit is not unexpected by the rail-
road officers. but they are certain
of his eventual capture.

Harrisonburg. July Paul Lam.
brother OF Bessie Lam. the fftaen-
year-old girl, who vas shot and kelI-
ed Tuesday In Brooks Gap. confeScd
yesterday in the Jail in Harrisonb burg
that he had shot and killed his sisier
when she was on her way through
the Gap. When asked what his Mo-
tive for the rash act was. he STAGED
that he could not help it, This
seems TO prove that the young n1an
is mentally deficient. Another lin
stance which lends color to this state

was dead. he took her out and partly
buried her in the earth. She re-
vived and made her way back home.
