SHODLDPUMSH
HUNS TO BLAME
FOR OUTBREAK
AMSTERDAM, March 13 (By the
Associated Pi-ass).—“It is the right
of our enemies to punish those re
sponsible if there are men on the
German side who are to blame for
this war,” declare 1 Field Marshal von
Bnelow, retired, in an interview with
the Berlin correspondent of the Han
delsblad. Von Buolow commanded the
Second German army in 1911, was
engaged in the fighting near Mau
beuge and was retired in 1915 awing
tc a paralytic stroke from which he
has not yet quite recovered.
“As an old soldier, I have not
learned to ask for mercy,” continued
the field marshal. “I only ark for
justice for the German people. We
soldiers went out to fight by the
kaiser’s orders because the govern
ment said the country was in danger.
It was not our task as soldiers to in
vetigate. If we had been told the
truth our duty waa merely to obey.
It the German people were misled
when they were told that they were
assailed by a superior number of ene
mies, then may a curse be on those
who, by false dealings, made three
quarters of mankind the enemies of
a great peace-loving people. If there
are wretches who deceived us when
they said we were attacked, then
they deserve the severest punishment,
whoever they may be.
“But to destroy a great nation be
cause' it is misled by a few people is
to sin against the spirit of human
justice.”
The field marshal, who is o:.’.e of the
founders of the society called the
German Society for Civic Education,
declared that Germany was now in
the throes of a moral revolution. The
materialistic philosophy, he said,
would give way to a new one which
would bo crowned by the victor of the
social idea.
“The one aim of the German So
ciety for Civic Education,” he said,
“is to bring the German peop’e back
to the religion of human love. We
ask all the Intellectual and moral
leaders of the woild to join us in
forming an international community.
It was the materialistic and mechani
cal conception of the world which
ruined Germany. It will also destroy
our enemies if they do not see that it
is the spirit of the citlsens which con
structs a state."

MUST MEET WAR BILLS
WITH LOAN-GOV. LYNCH
To the Citizens of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District:
The Fifth “Victory” Liberty
Loan is in sight. Let us thank God
that it is not just the Fifth Loan.
Victory means the end of the war,
the end of loans, the dawn of peace
JAMES K. LYNCH
Governor, 12th Federal Reserve District
and prosperity. It means that the
market price of government bonds
will soon stabilize at par or better.
It also means that commercial, agri
cultural, and industrial affairs will
stabilize, and that the Hun-inspired
clamor will cease.
We were advised that the war
would last through 1919, probably
through 1920, so we were prepared I
for that; to have done less would
have been suicide. We prepared to
crush the Hun on his own ground,
and he prudently quit. It cost us
some money but it saved the lives of
half a million of our men. Was
money ever better spent ?
Now we have bills to pay, prom
ises to make good, our men to bring
home. This will take from five to
six billion dollars. Let us get ready
and raise it. A big task, but the
last, and therefore easy. All to
gether, shoulder to shoulder, and
the loan goes over!
The “Ninety-first” is the Pacific
Coast Division; remember their
achievement, and honor ourselves
by living up to it.

HEADS NAVAL WAR COLLEGE
Admiral William S. Sims, com
mander of the American fleet in Euro
pean waters, will be relieved of his
present duties to assume the presi
dency of (he United States Naval War
college at Newport, It. I., it is an
nounced by Secretary Daniels. It is
expected that Admiral Sims will take
up his new post.
Secretary Daniels has asked for
the naval war college twice the ap
propriation of last year. Plans have
been made for its comprehensive ex
pansion until its work reaches officers
throughout the fleet.
Secretary Daniels is now preach
ing the necessity for the largest navy
in the world for the United States. He
says:
“Suppose the powers do not now
agree to curtail armament? Then It is
entirely obvious to all that the United
pBMBWMWMMlWBWO Wt»**rnN»wipopw untaul amici', n aiic is to ii:uiiAr tier tieatiujr
as a leader of the democratic Impulse,
if she is to play her proper part in the protection of small nations, the preser
vation of the freedom of the seas for them and for the world at large, must
have a navy that will be as powerful as that of any nation In the world.
“In case of a world police I am quite certain that It would be improper
for America even to consider the proposition of contributing a number «t
units smaller than that contributed by the greatest other power.”
I FIRST-CLASS FIGHTING YANK
A striking tribute to the courage
and skill of Brig. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, commanding the Eighty-fourth
brigade of the Forty-second (Itainbow)
division, was given by Maj. Gen.
Charles T. Menoher, formerly in com
mand of the division, in a letter to
General Pershing, urging for a second
time the promotion of General Mae
Arthur to the rank of major general.
It reviews (the record of General
MacArthur and discloses that the
young officer, a major of engineers
when*the Unified States entered the
war, has been twice wounded, baa
been decorated by both the French
and American governments for per
sonal gallantry in action, und in addi
tion has been twice recommended for
the French Legion of Honor,
“The contributions made to cur
military establishment by this general
officer already have hud far-reaching
effects,” writes General Menoher. “He
uus siuuu mr me actual pnysical command or lurgc conies or troops in dutuc,
not for a day, but for days’ duration, and I believe has actually commanded
larger bodies of troops in the battle line than any other officer in our army
with, in eacli instance, conspicuous success.
“He has developed, combined and applied the use of infantry and cor
related armies with an effect upon the enemy, a husbandry of his own forces
and means and a resourcefulness which no other American commander In the
field has.
“His efforts have been untiring, uninterrupted and without the least re
gard for his personal safety.”
NEW DOCTRINE BY SENATOR KNOX |
Senator P. C. Knox of Pennsyl
vania, formerly secretary of state, has
propounded to the.senate a new Amer
ican doctrine In international affairs.
Holding that Washington’s caution
. against entangling foreign alliances
should not militate against a close as
sociation of the United States and
other great nations for world welfare,
and that his proposal would strengthen
the Monroe doctrine, the senator enun
ciated his n*v doctrine thus:
“If a situation should arise In
which any power or combination of
powers should directly or Indirectly
menace the freedom and peace of Eu
rope, the United States would regard
such situation with grave concern as a
menace to Its own freedom and peace
and would consult with other powers
affected with a view to concerted ac
tion for the removal of such menace.”
The Pennsylvania senator spoke
In kle niMMMalnn
to place the senate on record as faroting the postponement of consideration
of a league of nations and the freedom of the seas question until after the
settlement of the Immediate issues of the great war at the peace conference.
