Is the Constitution Unconstitutional? BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1419, by Frank Crane) IT IS HISTORY A reading of the first chapter of Ludendorff’s book on the world war, which will appear in The Star, reveals the fact that so far as the former German military commander is concerned, the old Hunnish ideas dominate. He is unre- generate, unyielding in his attitude and in his justification of unrestricted sub- marine warfare and other shocking methods “‘made in Germany. From the standpoint of history, it is well that Ludendorff has not changed. His book will be on that account a more reliable guide to a study of the Hun The philosophy, psychology, and morals of the Hun leaders have been wide- ‘ly discussed. Now comes Ludendorff himself to prove, by the very arrogance of the views he sets out in his book, the case against Germany. He apparently is willing to assume responsibility for many of the things which shocked the world. At least, he does not admit their immorality and impropriety. There isn’t a chance of one man or woman in one hundred million who could be influenced to believe as Ludendorff believes. His beok will not make con- If — it - have hs Ba — ill, ho , shed light on the workings of the Hun mind. It will explain some be incidents in the great war which have hitherto been rather clouded. Because it is bound to be reckoned as part of the history of the war, the Lu- dendorff book has already aroused world-wide interest, and as his story unfolds, will grow more and more interesting. | The High Cost of Beauty The hour seems to have arrived.
