OJ Ludendorff’s Story il bs In many respects Ludendorff is the most dramatic as well as the most sinister figure of the war, for he is the very embodiment of Prussian militarism. Emerging from ob- “geurity, he became by virtue of his military talents and his dominating personality the dictator of Germany, He was the army and he was the civil government. The kaiser Was a puppet. The chancellor and the foreign minister were Ludendorff’s clerks and the reichstag was a machine for recording his will. Not since Napoleon has so much actual power been concentrated in the hands of a single man as this type-Prussian wielded in the last phase of Ger- many’s desperate gamble for the mastery of the world. There is plenty of the old Prussian cynicism in Luden- dorff’s narrative. He talks in the spirit of Frederick the Great, to whom nothing v immoral except failure, nothing inal except lack of success. A characteristic example Ludendorff’s reference to the German intrigues with Mexico, which were exposed when the United States gov ernment made public the Zimmermann note. The shame- Tessness of this plot against a country with which Ger Many was then at peace brings no rebuke from Ludendorff What incenses him is the fact that “in spite of my warnings the foreign office had used an antiquated and easily de- cipherable code.” With equal frankness, Ludendorff confesses that the United States was driven into the war as a matter of gen- eral staff policy. “With the help of our submarines,” he “we reckoned on a decision in our favor, at the very latest, before America, with her new armies, could intervene in the war.” Senator Chamberlain, Senator Lodge and other timid ts who believe that the American people are unfit to any opinions of their own have protested against the tion of the Ludendorff memoirs on the ground that are “propaganda.” ‘To be sure they are propaganda, not the kind of propaganda that these senators suspect. the whole they are the most complete vindication of the ited States, its policies and its motives, that any Ameri- an could desire. But were they less so, their publication ‘would be no less a journalistic duty. !You Never Know Your Luck on a Motor Trip. Ty mietT pe SAFER, OSWALD | iB 5 They are an essential part of the record, and the Ameri ‘ean people are quite competent to estimate them at their value. Nobody is going to turn back the clock of all and give the victory to imperial Germany because of tor berlain and Senator Lodge seem to fear. The time has come to end all this direct and indirect ip, give the American people the evidence and let er ares their own conclusions. They are not babies who ‘must be kept forever in intellectual swaddling clothes, pape fed on bottled opinions. There has been too much of that ly. The war is over, and anybody who is now afraid ‘of German propaganda is afraid of a ghost. The World is not impressed by any of the protests that have been made against the publication of the Ludendorff Memoirs. We wish only that all the secret archives of the eee German government, that all the personal nar- of the men who were masters of Germany during this conflict, could be dragged forthwith into light. We can ceive of no other revelations that would do so much to bilize the world politically and write the final epitaph of ial ambition. Whatever attempts may be made at defense or extenuation, history provides no more impressive warning.—New York World.

Corn —e | Europe knows nothing of corn as human food. - Eighty per cent of the world’s corn is produced here in the United States. | And with the passing of the horse and mule the market- of our corn crop will become a problem. low that Europe is forced to buy wheat of us. be an ideal time to enforce a little knowledge of her. During the late war we required ourselves to purchase @ertain substitutes with our wheat flour, and the same rule it might our corn might now be applied in the way of corn to those European | Mations now buying our wheat. Food habits are the strongest of all habits of all people| of the earth, and it frequently requires drastic means to change them even in the interest of health and economy. Then, in addition to this enforcement, the proper de- it of our government might apply a little educa- advertising. Tt used to be that when a concern wanted to put, say, a Bew pancake four on the market they hired a negro mammy with a bandana handkerchief on her head to demonstrate it in grocery stores and on county fair grounds by giving} out samples of the finished product to the throng and instructing the housewives in the proper mixture and _ technique. This idea might now apply to Europe, not only in the ease of corn pancakes, but corn pone and corn bread. The government certainly found the value of advertising during the war and it might now apply the knowledge for the future disposal of a part of our corn crop in Europe. Corn flour, under the ordinary processes of milling, is mot adapted to raised bread-making, by reason of the! fact that it will not retain moisture as in the case of wheat flour. But there is a process which wag in use by certain corn| millers of the country and by which corn can be used for! light bread making and even the finest pastries, It is accomplished by removing the hull and germ of the corn, grinding it to a certain reduction and then pass- ing thru hot rolls. While the finished product is in a flake form, yet it has _ the quality of retaining moisture and by the use of w hite corn, bread or cake baked from it is as white as that from pow flour. a is process can no more complex nor expensive the that employed in the production of the ner rides of wheat flour. This material can also be used as a highly nutritive base for candies and other forms of confections. This process of treating corn could be supplied to Euro- pean millers as a means of marketing our corn crop abroad. This would not be a difficult task; for European millers long ago adapted our milling machinery and processes— Liverpool now being a sort of Minneapolis of the old world, Ludendorff still speaks of the “success” of Germ _ submarine operations. If that be success, give nt tobe of failure every time!

And now is the time for a certain type of young man to join the army. The type mentioned is the youth of clean habits, sound body, and instincts of decency, who ‘wants to train himself for self-support and learn a useful trade, and who is without dependents, This sort of youth can find no better training place than the United States Army. It will not cost him a cent. He will be well fed and cared for. He will come out of his three years’ service with: 1. A body in tip-top trim, hard, strong, and healthy, with no bad habits. A spirit keen and disciplined. He will have learned Teamplay, or how to get along with people, which is an invaluable on. Also courage, how to overcome obstacles, how to master his own weakness, and how | to be efficient. 3. A mind trained by a practical course of instruction. He will no longer have to depend upon the strength of his hands alone. He will be able to take his place among the | ranks of the more intelligent, and hence bet- ter paid, workers.
