SAYS GERMANY
DID NOT FORCE
WAR ON ALLIES
We Repudiate Accusation That
Germany Was Responsible
Says Hindenburg

Berlin, Sept. 19.-P)-Germany's
challenge to her late enemies on the
subject Of war guilt, as broadcast by
President Won Hndenburg at the
dedication of the Tennenberg battle
memorial, was received generally to-
day as prelude to a more vigorous
campaign for the moral rehabilita-
ton Of the Reich in the eyes Of the
world.
Time has not softened the sting
of paragraph 231 of the treaty Of
Versailles, which declares that the
war was forced on the Allied powers
by Germany and her allies, and
which was denounced from public
platform, press and pulpit here as
an untruth to which the German
signatories were forced to subscribe
under duress.
The president in his speech yester-
day declared that Germany had un-
sheathed the sword with a pure
conscience and in self defense. The
memory Of those Germans who fell
fighting for the freedom of their
country" and the honor Of those
still living, he said, "enjoin me here
and now to declare solemnly: The
accusation that Germany was re-
sponsible for this greatest of all
wars we hereby repudiate. '+++* '
Germany is ready at any moment to
prove this fact before impartial
judges"
His declaration was frantically
applauded. The speech was preced-
ed by a dramatic reunion with
General Ludendorff, the nationalist
whom the president had not received
at any previous function since his
elevation to the head Of the republic.

Message From Coolidge
A message from President Cool

convention opened, was read and
greeted with thunderous applause.
When Louise Marin, the French
minister Of pensions, was introduced,
someone in the gallery shouted "Long

quickly drowned in cheers while the

. Sportsmanship
SECOND LETTER COMING
BY ALAN J. GOULD


Chicago, Sept. 19.-(AP) With
both gladiators pronounced in the
"pink," their training siege COM
pleted except for light and artistic
finishing touches, the three-day in
terval before the Dempsey Tunney
heavyweight championship battle
Thursday promised today to develop
into . "battle Of open letters"
The opening salvo Of literary
broadsides, lending a breezier touch
to the "ballyhoo" for the greatest
ring spectacle Of all time, came
from Jack Dempsey in the form Of
an "open letter" to Gene Tunney,
copyrighted and published in this
mornings issue of the Chicago Her
aid and Examiner.
Agreement Recalled
Recalling gossip that the title
fight last September in Philadelphia
was fixed" but at the same time
admitting he was ''beaten fairly and
squarely," Dempsey's "letter" re-
vived discussion of the so-called
business agreement made just prior
to the 1926 battle, in which Billy
Gibson, Tunney's manager, agreed
to pay Max (Boo Boo) Hoff, Phila-
delphia fight figure, 20 per cent of
Tunney's earnings, providing the
former marine won the title, in con-
sideration Of . proposed loan Of
$50, 900 by Hoff to Gibson. Gibson,
however, did not get the loan and
Hoff did not collect the 20 per cent.
Dempsey's 'letter," as published
by the Herald and Examiner, de-
voted most Of its approximately
1900 words to questions relating to
the Hoff- Gibson contract, talk OF
alleged "heayy plunging" on Tunney
at Philadelphia by gamblers and
gossip Of the fight being '.fixed" for
Gene to win.
Writes Answer Himself
In . 44-word reply, also published
in an "open letter." Tunney labeled
Dempseys literary production as
"trash," questioned the form :
champions sportsmanship and con-
cluded with this postscript:
"Phi. ! might add that I wrote
this letter myself"
The Herald and Examiner an.
nounced that it would publish an
other remarkable open letter" un-
der Dempsey's signature tomorrow,
thus suggesting to war correspond
ents that more words than blows
may be exchanged before the debate
is settled in the 10-round title bout
at Soldier field.
Tunney, however, is not likely to
reply to any further communicates
from the challenger. The champion,
obviously annoyed, indicated rather
strongly to his friends that he
would let his fists finish the argu-
ment in the ring.
The effect Of the "open letter.
submitted today was viewed by the
correspondents largely as q trans.
parent attempt to surround the forth
coming title battle with q "grudge"
This is in contrast with the
rather friendly manner, out Of the
ring, in which Jack and Gene pre-
have treated each other.
Attitudes Of mutual admiration and
respect had been shown by both
fighters before a. well as after their
championship conflict last year.
