The Munich Trial.

Tomorrow an interesting judicial
show will lAe staged at Munich, when
Lu6endorff,, Hitler and some other
, Of last November will be put on trial
for treas son. All Germany is on tiptoe
over the affair, both because of the
!! prominence of the leading defendant
and the possibility of startling dis.
closures regarding the backing of the
"putsch.''
Ludendprff's friends. il seems, have
endeavored to create an atmosphere
of sympathy for. him by getting a
statement from Marshal Hindenbur-g
| in his faNC". But the old chief has
declined to take stand for OF against
his former lieutenant In a statement
just published he expresses the hope
that the arial may shcw that ''all the
actions OF my dear comrade and aide
were Influenced solely by love for the
father!and"
Apparently there is no expectation
that Lud endcrff will be severely pun
ished. There can be no doubt Of his
connection with the Hitler movement.
! which sought to overthrow the gov
ernment in Bavaria in the monarch
ical interest. He was right in the
front of it. His name was used in all
the proclanations. He was taken
prisoner with the other leaders on the
occasion of the rathskeller revolt.
But even so. it is believed that if con-
victed, which would seem certain, he
will get off with a reprimand, while
Hitler, the real leader and fomenter
of the 'putsch." is likely to be ex-
PEELED from the state as an "undesir-
able foreigner" he being an Austrian
citizen.
Memory OF the trials at Leipzig of
German officers accused of war crimes
will be revived by this procedure at
Munich. 1t will be interesting to see
if there is any difference in the treat.

crimes against the German state and
those whose offenses were committed

both the Germans and the French
would have been unchanged, and
there would have been no occasion for
the experts to meet.
Thus. in the view Of this authority,
Ruhr occupation has succeeded
through its failure. 1t has been justi-
fled by the results that are now de-
veloping. 1t clarified the situation by
teaching both French and Germans a
lesson. Fortunately 1t has been q prac.
tically bl6Odless occupation. There has
been some disorder, with sacrifice of
comparatively very few lives It has
been enormously expensive, but If 1t
has led to the acceptance by the Ger.
mans Of the inevitability of payment.
and by the French of the necessity to
compromise to the point of Germany's
actual ability to pay, 1t has been, in

land Of uniformity In gas tax. When
the bill came before the House its
strongest advocates were committed
either to the bill as originally framed
or to it's approximation by a thousand
dollar exemption Of the personal tax
on automobiles. The most vigorous
opposition to the bill demanded from
Maryland tag reciprocity for the Dis
trict as right without the exaction
of any price payment in consideration.
In the end both advocates and op-
ponents Of the bill abandoned every
contention that they had made in the
interest of the District and blistered
the Capital with a new additional mil
lion-dollar tax, establishing a hurtful,
dangerous precedent.

To which the New York Evening
World adds. after all. neither Phila-
delphia nor any other city can be made
over by the police alone. The civic
bility must be awakened and put to
work. Perhaps Philadelphia is more
in need of conversion than crusade.
Maybe the fear Of the Lord must be
the crooks" Then, again, as the
Roanoke World News remarks. "such
campaigns merely remove part of the
scum and filth which have risen to
the top of city'S life out of the mud
and rottenness at the bottom of the
millennium it will be necessary for
the people of any city to clean out
their hearts down to their feshy bot
toms and to keep them clean" The
Harrisburg Telegraph, backing up
Gen. Butler T ON the start, expresses
the view that he Is showing others
how to do II. and proving that when
thing can't be done it is usually
done" thereby influencing other
Pennsylvania communities.

'The sword Of the soldier is essen
TALLY a police weapon" the Boston
Transcript holds. and there is no
reason why 1T should not be employed

clean out the Augean stable at Phila-

come Butler will be handicapped the

Philadelphia. in the end. must re-
form itself if 1t hopes to achieve
anything but sham and superficial
purity" The action In Philadelphia
naturally attracts attention to other
emergencies, and the Ann Arbor
Times declares Tf the marines them
selves were called out to enforce pro-
hibition 1t would be enforced in short
order-anywhere and any time. Such
method might, indeed. be adopted
with beneficial results in some of the
