Three-Minute Journeys

But far more attractive and in
teresting than Mogadishu is Nom
basa, the seaport of Britain's
Kenya colony. The population
consists of Europeans, Indians,
Goans, Arabs, Africans and other
races, and the heterogeneous col
lection offers a constant parade.
Just off the highway there are
public wells and one seems trans
ported back to the Middle Ages
as the natives come and go, not
with water jars, but with gasoline
cans which are balanced on
woolly pates. In the plantations
are little hutS, which are rooted
with the gasoline cans.
One of the most colorful ports
in Africa is ZANZIBAR, an island
of spices and ivory, with a real
sultan. The traveller hears the
cries of boys running along the
narrow streets of the town, and
then along comes a high, open
carriage carrying the sultan, his
purple or golden turban gleam-
ing in the SC1 n.

Gen. Won LudendOrff

Big, bulbouS, Snorting old Gen.
Erich Won Ludendorff seems to
have just about the heaviest hang
over of any of the main partici-
pants of the World War. In fact,
he doesn't seem to know the wars
over, and any mention of per
manent peace almost drives him
to a nervous breakdown. He
spawns angry documents, and just
now he is out with an apostrophe
of war as "the highest expression
Of the will for survival"
One Of the most articulate OF
the war.mongers, he has been
celebrating gore and vengeance
in various publications ever since
the Armistice. Just now, he has
arrived at an inflamed concep-
ton of what he calls "totalitarian
war" the main idea, if any, being
that the military, and its supreme
command, must be the absolute,
unasSailable, unqueStioned ruler Of
the state, to the complete sub
ordination Of all human, political
or economic interests.
This alone, he believes will
bring about the grade A war ne
longs for. Wearing plus-fours
and a hunting jacket. he stalks
around the ground cf his Munich
castle, with his hand on a re-
volver in his pocket, woofing and
growing about Jews, Americans
and F'reemasons, his three betes
noir, ready for them all. one or
singly, spelling for a fight;
He had a lot to do with get
ting millions Of Germans lined
up behind the old leather-necked
German gods, Wotan and his
mountain-top team of hammer
throwers and shotputters. If
there's anything that will make
the old man snort with rage, it's
a mention Of Christianity with
its doctrine of peace and forgive
ness. He gets fairly ogreish about
this. He's for all the he-man
gods.
MUDDLED WARRIOR
He has plenty of alibis for
Germany in the last war. An
important dispatch went wrong
and spoiled critical German
strategy in the closing days Of
the war. He has much gutteral
invective for the "dummkopfs"
Of the German high command
if they'd just left things to him
and not had those other dumb
generals interfering, he'd have
chased the French and the Eng
liSh right into the sea.
He was a magnificent figure in
the war, undoubtedly a great
strategist, just to give a blond
superman his due. He and Won
Hindenburg were co-idols, and
over glasses of schnapps they
voiced many a deep bass apos-
trophe to Deutschland Uber
Allies" Their friendship broke
when the less virulent Won Hin
denburg strung along with the
republic and tried to adjust him
self to new times. Won Luden-
dorff was an unreconstructed
monarchiSt.
When Won Hindenburg accepted
the presidency in 1925, old Won
Ludendorff went his way, but not
quietly. Issuing his own paper,

ingly Of the Revolution which he
declares was not "the quiet, gen.
tlemanly, AngloSaxon rernon.
STRANGE against illegalities that it
appeared to the not wholly disin-
terested Whig historian.
This Radical of the Laski-Frank-
furter school writes sneeringly Of
what he alleges to be "the still
more astonishing phenomenon Of
the rule Of judges, of the arroga-
ton to the Supreme Court Of an
almost Petrine power If binding
and loosing."
This English Radical would have
his readers believe that the Su.
preme Court is "a political body,
third chamber, regulating the
acts Of the executive and legiSla-
ture."
REVEALS PREFERENCE
This English Radical insinuates
that "the rights If minorities"
have been better protected in Eng
land and France and "for that
matter, Germany" than they
have been protected under the
American Constitution.
Throughout his book this Eng.
lish Radical reveals his prefer
ence for the English system to
the American system, for English
judges to American judges, for
English legislators to American
legislators.
There is nothing surprising in
all this. Some Englishmen have
never become reconciled to the
loss Of those colonies that have
since developed into the United
States Of America. They are un-
able to think, much less write, i'm
partially about Americans.
What is surprising is that any
institution of higher learning
calling itself American should
urge upon it's students the en-
bracing of such a book by an
alien Radical as a guide to the
study Of the American system of
government of which the Consti-
tuition is the cornerstone and the
Supreme Court of the United
States "the keystone of the arch"

'of the generals alterations, as
they took shape after the war,
and the state of Germany today.
One must observe that Germany
moved a lot farther over toward
General Won Ludendorff and his
most extreme psychoSiS than did
the General toward republican
Germany.
The Reich met him more than
half way. He was out early, far
ahead of Hitler, with his fantastic
race theories and his anti-Semitic
believing. They go all the way
and beyond, on this. He was for
getting babies "hoching" and
"heiling" and goose-stepping as
soon as they could walk, and there,
too, he wins official record.
His glorification of war and

Ihe kept Germany inflamed and
eager for one more round Of blood
letting. When Won Hindenburg
died in August, 1884, there were
tributes at the bier from almost
everybody in the realm save the
ferocious and muddled old Won
Ludendorff. Several years ago he
formed his Tannenburg Band for
the revival of the old gods. When
it was going good, Goering, Goe-
bells and the others took it over,
more or less sidetracking the
general.
There's nothing slothful about
him and right away he thought
up new line, the ':totalitarian
war;" and he won't be happy until
he gets it. There is something
disquieting about a bird's-eye view

CHOSEN COMPANY
Although there is an increas-
ing willingness on the part Of per
sons generally to allow them
selves to be fingerprinted by the
Bureau of Investigation, there re-
mains a certain hesitancy about
being catalogued with criminals.
j. Edgar Hoover, director OF
Investigation, whose direction has
caused the gigantic increase in
the fingerprint section of his Of
flee, has ordered that a portion of
the files be set aside for those in
dividuals who have been finger
printed for other than criminal

PERMANENT RECORD
Entire communities throughout
the United States, schools, lunch
con clubs, and other organiza-
tions, as well as some Of the most
prominent men in the nation, have
consented to be finger-printed for
their own protection in event Of
accident.
Disasters such as the Moro

The Human Side of the News = By
By Edwin C. Hill

lbloodshed found q more than
adequate paraphrase in Adolf
Hitler's "Mein Kampf." AS a
matter of fact, there isn't any
slavering haunch, paunch and
jowl stuff in the entire Won
Ludendorff rubric Of hate in
which the Nazi didn't see him
and raise him.
It is puzzling and q bit dis
heartening to consider the ram.
pant old general against the
background Of his youth, and to
consider the sane and solvent
Germany of earlier days. Young
Won Ludendorff was the son Of
a successful, easy-going, old
fashioned merchant. When he
was in his early teens, his
teachers blanked him on every
thing, and he was put in the
army. He never had been good
at book-learning, but he disclosed
rare aptitude for military tech
nique and strategy and advanced
rapidly.
Then, as now, the old feudal
,Junker psychology prevailed IN
the army, and Won Ludendor1t'
getting an overdose of this in his
youth, became rabid with the
passing of the years.
He has, of course. done MS
share to make Germany what 1t
is today. I can't find that his
torians seem to know much as to
lust what extent bold, errant,
and fanatical men have shaped
human affairs. Certainly the
NapoleonS and the BismarcKS
have had profound effects on
civilization.
EXTREMISTS
r. appears that the great man"
theory of history is gaining, with
such distinguished writer's as Ber.
trand Russell coming over to tnat
side of the argument. It is, per
haps, all to the good that here
we confine our yell masters TO
football. In times Of such stress
as that from which we now seem
to be emerging one cannot cite a
single instance in which the more
ululant statesmen have tossed IN
anything helpful.
several of the more strident
Utopians seem to be piping down.
during the last few months. We
have had our share Of r1proar1ng
statesmen, our share Of extremists
of one sort Of insanity.
I sometimes wonder If our Gov
ernment, devised primarily to pro
vide q balance between the ex'
tremes of Capitalization and de-
Capitalization, between the too-aS-
sertive individual and the too-re-
pressive state. hasn't had a lot to
do with keeping us sane. AT any
rate, it's a good time to tend to
our own knitting and not to take
too seriously the opinionated ana
clamorouS expounderS Of this idea
or that.
There is in America a ira
ditional and doubtless wholesome
skepticism about overheated and
overweight politicians. Old Abe
Lincoln never had to yell to make
himself heard, or remembered.
There's every reason to be friendly
to Continental Europe - and
equally good reasons for immunity
against its prevailing obSeSSionS.

Attorney General Homer S. Cum
mings charges that 2,047 Govern
ment-owned firearms have been
stolen from armories and other
public institutions in little more
than two years, and in doing so
lodges an accusation of careless
ness against officials Of those
places from which he contends
gangland secured lethal weapons.
The Attorney Generals own de-
partment exercises the most ex'
treme caution to prevent theft OF
firearms from its own offices.
DECEPTIVE
Although it has on exhibit scores
Of firearms that have all the ap.
pearance Of being deadly, the De
partment Of Justice has taken
steps to bring disappointment to
any thief who might steal them.
Weapons on exhibit are invari-
ably treated with corrosive acids
on one side so that, while they
appear to be in working order,
they are actually out Of commits
sion.
In the drive to curb the sale Of
firearms, the National Capital has
written on its statute books law
which forces all persons who wish
to buy guns to apply to the police
for permission to make the pur'
chase.
SALES GROW
Since enactment Of that law gun
statesmen contend their sales have
increased by sizeable percentages.
Strange to say, however, the
sales are not made to criminals.
It is reported that criminals,
knowing the check-up will be
made, do not apply but that
since the law was written per
sons Of good reputation have in
creased their purchases.

NOTES

American Legionnaires, who
have been tested as to their pa
triotism by the heat of battle in
the great and most terrible war
America has ever known, resen.
the attitude of some publications in
an attempt to belittle them in the
minds of the American public.
Confirming the attitude of the
National Commander of the Le-
gion, Frank Belgrano, jr., the de-
partment Commander of Washing
ton Homer Jones points to the ac-
tivities of the more than a hundred
and fifty posts in this state that
are fighting to improve the condi-
tons in their community.
stake the so-ealled bonus for
instance" says Jones in a COM
munication to Commander DR.. P.
O. Stone of Robert w. Ely post, "if
and when congress realizes its OBJ
legation it will mean that $34,-079,-
306.15 for the state of Washing
ton. It was computed by econo-
mists that this money will turn
hands ten times and that it will
aid realtor, grocer, farmer, mer-
chant, banker and all alike. 1t
is depression activity that will
resound time and time again thru
out the commonwealth"
There are q great many activi-
ties for which the Legionnaire re-
ceives the commentator of his
neighbor. There is the childwel-
fare program, safety programs,
Americanism, community better
ments, and others too numerous to
mention"
"The Legion is founded on con-
tinuation of service to the coun-
try, yet there are those who would
abuse the high purposes to add or
save dollars. While the Legion is
human, because of its wide men,
bership, it's critics are inhumane."
Under the direction of Walter
Talbot, chairman of the commit
tee on education of war orphans
for the state department Of the
American Legion, a survey IS being
made Of war orphans, according to
Commander DR.. Paul o. Stone of
Robert w. Ely post.
Although the federal government
allows assistance to war orphans,
says Talbot, Washington is one Of
the % states that has failed to sup
port the federal program with adj
ditional help. War orphans in
clude children whose fathers died
after discharge from service with
in the dates of April 6, 1917 and
July 2, 1921, as well as those whose
fathers were killed or died in the
service" And Talbot concludes, at
applies to children whose mothers
are still alive, as well as those who
have lost both parents. 1t is esti-
mated that we have in our state
119 war orphans, but there has
been no census taken since June 1,
1888"
Any war orphans in this sec
tion are requested to communicate
with Adjutant Herbert j. O'Hearn
of Robert w. Ely post, who will in
turn inform Walter Talbot at Col
fax, Washington.
