FRANCE TRUTHFUL
IN NH|ST0RY OF WAR
German Official Story Less
Impartial, Early Volumes
Received Here Indicate.

The nations involved on both sides
of the World War now is telling their
real stories of what actually happened
for the first time.
France, Great Britain, Germany
and the United States all are engaged
in the monumental task of preparing
for publication the details of the
movements of their armies on all the
fronts. When these works are fin
iShed they will fill scores of volumes
and will be almost entirely devoid Of
propaganda or excuses.
The first two volumes of the Ger
man account, which is expected to
run about 80 volumes in all. have Just
been received at the War Department
library and are being devoured
eagerly by American officers who
served as observers during the early
days of the war.
French Story Dispassionate.
The first two volumes of the French
account also. which are declared to be
the coolest. most impartial and Scien-
tific story of military action yet writ
ten. also have been secured. The
French and German accounts of the
Neither of the combatants seeks to
claim glory, and errors which led to
disastrous defeats are chronicled as
fully as brilliant actions.
The German account, however. is
by no means so impartial as the

reason is not that the Germans seek
to ignore reverSes, but that they
apologize for them, commenting on

into victories if somebody had not
erred, if the forces had been numeri-
cally superior or the source of sup
plies equally near at hand.
The same criticism also is made of
the British account, of which also two
volumes have been issued. The au-
thorS sometimes try to tell what
would have happened if conditions had
been different.
The histories are being prepared by
the general staffs of the three coun-
tries and are intended largely as con.
tributions to military science.
U. S. Story Underway.
The American general staff is work
ing on the same proposition, but has
no funds now available for publica-
ton. The British army, because of
reduced appropriations, has been
obliged to curtail it's original plan for
a monumental military history, but
will publish much the same material
on a reduced scale. The French and
German officers appear to have been
provided with sufficient appropriations
to carry out the work as planned.
The slow progress of such work is
illustrated by the fact that the COM

Russian-Japanese war in 1905 has just

FURTHER HEARING
Action Taken in International
Harvester Case and Cement
Plant Controversy.

Attorney General Sargent has au
thorized an appeal to the Supreme
Court on the international Harvester
Co. case, and has arranged that pc
titions be drawn requesting a rehear
ing by the Supreme Court of the
Maple Flooring and Cement Manu-
facturers' Protective Association cases
The latest decision in the Harvester
case, which was begun in 1912, when
the Government charged that the
company was a combination in re-
straint of trade, was handed down
May 10 by the Federal District Court
at Chicago, denying the Government s
supplemental petition for further re-
lief under the consent decree of 1918.
Attorney Generals Comment.
1t is the view of the Government
the Attorney General announced, that
the decree accomplished nothing in
the direction of restoring competitive
conditions in the industry. In the
Supreme Court, he said, decision in
the appeal may rest upon the mean.
ing of competitive conditions"
1.-The decree said Mr.. Sargent
"presupposes that such conditions did
not exist in the harvester industry
and provided for the disposition of
certain of the Harvester Co.'S prop
critics to bring about such conditions
THE District Court, in finding such
conditions to exist, apparently adopted
the test laid down by the Supreme
Court in the steel case, which was
decided after the decree of 1918 was
entered The ultimate question for
decision is whether the supplemental
petition is governed by the law of the
decree or by the later rule of the
Supreme Court in the steel case"
In the trade association cases the
Supreme Court held that trade as
sociations could legally collect and
distribute trade statistics so long as
the information was not used to con.
troll prices of production.
The court held in these cases that
trade associations could legally col
lect and distribute trade statistics
so long as the information was not
used to control prices of production
The object Of the petitions, it was
announced, will not be to obtain a
reconsideration of the principles of
law ennunciated by the Supreme
Court in it's recent decisions, but to
point out that the evidence in these
cases brings them within prior de-
ciston of the Supreme Court, the
authority of which has not been
questioned"
"The whole effort" the depart
ment's announcement said, will be
to show that the evidence leads ir-
resistibly to the conclusion that the
defendants, through their associa :
tions, had agreed to maintain prices
and otherwise restrain trade within
the prior decisions of the Supreme
Court in the hardwood lumber and
linseed oil cases.

P. D. HEAD WARNS
MAIL CHAUFFEURS
Must Obey Traffic Rules or
Risk Dismissal, Postmaster
Mooney Says.
Sunday

Operators Of vehicles under the ju-
risdiction of the City Post Office need
expect, no sympathy or assistance
from Postmaster William NJ. Mooney
If they fall into the hands of the police
for willful violation of traffic regu-
lationS.
Mr. Mooney has addressed a com.
munication to all operators of postal
vehicles here emphasizing that ex-
ceptions made in the regulations which
allow the postal cars considerable lat
1tude must not be construed az
granting the operators high license on
the streets. In other words these eX-
ceptionS are not to be taken advantage
of except as the circumstances require
IL to be done. The operators Of our
vehicles are almost without. exception
efficient and perform their duties in
telligently and with credit to them
selves and to the service. want
these men TO know that such service
is fully appreciated.
My own observation. however. and
information received from other
sources. CompelS the opinion that a
few, some operating in the day time
and some at night, but more especial
ly at night. are inclined to he forget
ful of the regulations a nd of the rights
of others and knowingly commit in
fractions which they would hesitate
to commit openly or aboVebOard.
Il am addressing this warning par
ticularly to the small minority last
referred to and ! desire to say EN-
phatically that unless there is an inn
mediate reformation on their part
they may expect ultimately to fall into
the hands of the police, in which event
no sympathy. or assistance may be
expected from this Office. On the con-
trary, if persisted in, these sinister
violations undoubtedly will result in
the ultimate removal of the offenders"
A copy of the warning" was trans
mitted by Mr.. Mooney to NJ. o. Ed
ridge. director of traffic. who, in
knowledgins receipt of it, said he had
referred it to the acting superintendent
of police with the request it be sent TO
all precinct captains for information
of their men.

Farmers and suburban home own
ers everywhere will sympathize with
the Middletown, NJ j. farmer who
last Sunday fired a shot gun into a
load of picnickers who had trampled
his flower beds after stealing all the
flowers they could carry.
Auto "trippers," as they are called
in some localities, are worse than
the seven-year itch or the Seven
Plaques of Egypt. They are pes
tilential vermin with garbage can
hearts and pole cat souls.
1t is only just and right that
stringent laws are being passed in
every state providing for the pun
ishment of these nivvering vandals.
Pennsylvania passed a law this year
providing for $500. fine and three
years in Jail for mutations of trees
shrubs, flowers and fruits and other
dissertations on private and public
property.

the Governments agents could

stead of dissipatng their time and
the public's money in futile dry en-
forcement.
