The ardor with which the senator
pressed his attack was interpreted
by his associates here as meaning
that he now regards the Wilson for

HUN REPORTS
GIVE WILSON
MUCH CREDIT
President Knew Situation in
1916 But Germany Was
Too Stubborn.
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN. July 19.-The report Of
the second subcommittee of the
committee of investigation on Pres't
Wilson's peace effort during the
winter of 1916-1917 prepared by
Prof. Sinsheimer, former socialist
member of the reichstag, draws the
conclusion that Pres't Wilson'S ac-
tion made peace overtures possible,
but that the German government not
availing itself Of them, instead took
a stand for unrestricted U-bOat war
fare.
The report. made available in full
here Monday is signed by six MEM
bers Of the different political par
ties. II is a grave indictment Of
Germany's military dictatOrS at the
time. The report shows how the
economists o. Chancellor Won Beth
mann -Hollweg's civil government,
even DR.. Karl Helfferich, then min
lister of finance, did not believe un-
restricted U-ooat warfare could in
sure German victory. As the gravest
mistake, the report mentions the
fact that Americas resources were
completely under estimated.
Prevent Troops.
The report says il was argued the
submarines would prevent the trans
portation of American troops IF
there were any. 1t further declares
that the submarines failed TO terror
ize sufficiently neutral shipping:
that no sufficient attention was paid
% -
many's enemies.
And. finally, that when America
entered the war the military author
tiles failed 10 make adequate pro-
vision for its inevitable lengthy pro-
traction.
Furthermore" the report goes
on, no arguments against U-boat
war were permitted to be placed
at any time before the reichstag.
The report especially mentions the
Withholding from the public knowl-
edge of the COmmuniCa tiOns from
Or. Haniel Won Haimhausen, former
chancellor of the German embassy
at Washington; DR. Franz Won Pa
pen, former military attache 10 the
EN- bassy, and DR.. Heinrich r Al
bert, former commercial attache 10
the embassy, who, being familiar
with the American situation, in
sistently warned against unrestricted
U-boat warfare The report men
tions Won Papen's message to Cen
Erich Won Falkenhayn, former chief
OF the German staff. If you fail
TO keep the United States out YOU
have lost the war"
Mistaken Policy.
The capitulation of the civil gov
ernments misgivings TO what now.
has proved to he the mistaken policy
Of frightfulness and the fact that
the reichstag was kept in ignorance
Of the true situation, was, accord
ing 10 the report, the cause Of Ger
many'S collapse
The historical blame OF Ger
many's political government is" the
report continues. that on the vital
question OF Germany's existence II
allowed TO happen that which in its
conviction was peEnicious 10 the
country. The blame Of the military
leadership is that, knowing unre-
stricted U-boat warfare would in
evitably entail Americas entry. ii

SERPENT MOUND" IN OHIO
SYMBOL OF OLD RELIGION

WEST UNION, GA great SER
pent 1900 feet long, built of earth
andstone, a symbol of the religion
of ancient peoples, stands a few
miles from here as the most inter-
esting and important earthwork left
by the mound builders of Ohio.
Situated in a rather secluded spot,
supposedly selected by the mound
builders for privacy in performing
their ancient rites, the massive rep
tile winds, gracefully back from a
glen 10 higher land. The serpent's
head rests upon a rock platform
which presents a precipitous face to
the descending sun and is about 100
feet high. The jaws of the mouth
are widely extended in the act Of
swallowing an egg, represented by
an oval ridge of earth.
AS the mound builders shaped the
body they caused it to make four
large folds as it tapered back to the
tail, which is folded in three COM
plete and close coils.
The land about this curious relic
of primitive days is low at the head,
but gradually ascends toward the
tail. There is ample room on all
sides for a gathering of many people
and the belief is expressed that the
idol worshippers gathered on all sides
of their altar to pour forth praise,
or beseech forgiveness Inc blessings
from the beautifully hideous god Of
their own creation.
The Serpent Mound" was pur-
chased by Professor 4. w. Putnam,
of the Peabody Museum, Cambridge,
Mass, in 1887, along with about 20
acres of adjacent land and shortly
afterward a beautiful public park
was laid out, on the ground. Thus
in present days the spot of reverence
sacred to the people who preceded
civilization in the nation is used 'as
a playground for picnickers and
pleasure seekers. The deed to the
land is vested in the museum attach
ed TO Harvard University.
Those who have made a study of
the work of the mound builders have
estimated hat in Ohio alone there
are over 10000 mounds and from
1900 to 1000 enclosures standing
as monuments to their work. BY the
study of ancient implements and bur-
ial places found in and neal these
mystery hills it has been found pos
sible to form a conception of their
life.

100000 IN BONDS
FOR MORE HOUSES

BY stan Correspondent.
DETROIT, Mich. - The Detroit
Board of Commerce will stand back
Of the Detroit Housing Corporations
proposal to float a bond issue of
$500, 900 for building additional
homes for workers in the city. This
was made clear when 95 per cent. of
the boards membership endorsed
the idea. Virtual pledges on the
part of the entire membership of the
board were made to subscribe most
of the fund.
The commercial organization has
just completed a survey tending to
show that the growth of Detroit.
both in population and industry, is
being retarded by the house short
age. 1t was revealed that workers
are paying from $40 to 500 per
month for places in which to live
and that many workmen either are
leaving Detroit for other cities or
are threatening to do SO.
The bonds hat the members of
the board are asked to buy are in
denominations of 500, $500 and
$1,000, maturing semi-annually.
They are to be secured by mort
cages. !.
William Stocking, statistician of
the board, reports a big reduction in
house construction during July. The
number of permits was SCI fewer in
