The Governor of Connecticut,

In childhood we lock them up IN
schools, forcing knowledge into
them by a pumping process, when
they ought to be out of doors. And
when they are old we turn them

radio sets, which is about as intel

twenty billion dollars worth of Sc

to put it mildly.

In addition to Ludendorff there
are eight other defendants.
Both Ludendorff and Hitler are

their country with almost fanatic
ardor. Both served in the war
Ludendorff as chief of staff to
Hindenburg and quartermaster gen.

both are charged with high treason,
the penalty for which is death.

He answered all questions in q

AFTER the formal reading of the

International NeMa Service.

Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty expects to resign from
the Cabinet as soon as he has
made his defense to the charges
against him in the Senate-if
events do not force his retirement
before that time.
Confirmed by Friends.
This is the understanding that
prevailed today among the Attor-
ney Generals friends and confidants.
He personally believes he can dis
prove every charge made by Sen.
ator Burton K. Wheeler CD of
Montana. He believes he can prove
them all to be Of political origin.
Strongly convinced of this, and
confident that President Coolidge
is back of him, at least to the ex-
tent of not requesting his resigna-
ton until he mas had his day in
court. the Attorney General has
begun the preparation of his de-
tense.
White House Silent.
There is reason to believe that
this plan Of Daugherty's has been
discussed with President Coolidge
and that it has his sanction. al.
though the White House has been
careful to observe almost complete
silence as to the Attorney General
status.
