“The moral character of the United States is of more im
portance than any alliance,”
--JOHN ADAMS TO SECRETARY JAY, OCTORER 17, 1785.
Ludendorff Book Confession ?
Of Colossal German Failure
EGINNING next Sunday and contin-
B ing thereafter in daily installments in
hoth The Sunday Amerviecan and The
Georgian, these papers will print the story
of the war as written by General Luden
dorff. Getting this book of Ludendorff for
newspaper publication has been called “‘the
most stupendous newspaper achievement in
the history of journalism.’’
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon last Fri
day in the Sepate expressed the hope that
the newspapers of the United States would
‘“deelige absolutely to print the story of this
man who was responsible for the brutality
and rmthlessness of the war.’’
It is the purpose of The Georgian to keep
its readers fully informed on all matters of
importanee, without bias and without fear.
Nothing ean be gained by keeping the people
in ignorance or by remaining in ignorance
one’s self. Senator Chamberlain' in the
course of his remarks said:
L “The United States has had over 200,000 cas
_ualties as a result of German cruelty, Luden
dorff was a ferocious supporter of unrestricted
submarine warfare and favored bombardment
of unfortified towns and the killing of women
and children. He was a clever propagandist
with the press of Europe. Are his methods to
be allowed to succeed in the United States and
slyly instill into American minds a thought of
German's innocence in the war, and a belief
in the kindliness of German purposes?
Senator Chamberlain is, no doubf, right
in his estimate of the character of Luden
dorff, "but it is because Ludendorff is who
and what he is that gives importance and
historieal valye to his story. No one will
gseek to defend Ludendorff s character nor
the cruelty of his methods of conducting war
fare. But the people of America do want to
know the mental modus of this man and the
things he has to say. The American people
are not fools, unable to think for themselves
and arrive at conclusions for themselves, It
would be silly to assume that the people of
America ean be deceived by Ludendorff even
if he should attempt to ‘‘slyly instill into
American minds a thought of Germany's in
mnoecence in the war.’’
Senator Chamberlain should not assume
that the editors of the greatest newspapers
in America and England are not alive to the
hest interests of their respective countries,
and that only he is wise. The Ludendorff
book is not propaganda. It is a confession.
The largest cash advance ever paid in the
history of the publishing business was not
made for this Ludendorff manuscript sight
unseen. Some of the greatest publicists in
the world passed upon this work before it
was purchased, and among them was Sir
George Hutchinson, the great English pub
lisher, and Lord Northeliffe, owner and ed
itor of the London Times. It is not to be
assumed that the editors of the greatest
newspapers in America and Great Britain
are so unmindful of their obligations to their
readers and the best interests of their re
spoctive countries that they would allow
Ludendorff or any other German general to
use their columns to spread German propa
ganda. Such an assumption is the height of
stupidity.
There have been mountains of war liter
ature, but very little of it with an authori
tative character has come from the German
gide. It is true that hundreds of columns
and pages have been printed about Ger
many during and since the war, but it has
been practically all the work of outside cor
respondents and much of it hearsay. of
ihside information from high sourees there
has been practically none.
Senator Chamberlain, having no knowl
edge of the contents of the Ludendorff book,
assumes that it “*defends everything Ger
many, did in the confliet,” to quote his own
words, . This ‘statement is far from the
facts. The Ludendorff book is not a defense
or justification of the German crimes. It is
# frank confession in detail of the most co-
Jossal failure of might against right in the
world's history. Ludeendorff admits that
from 1916 on the German cause seemed hope-
Jess, and lays bare the impotenee and weak
ness of both the German armies and the s
perial statesmen,
American newspapers of every shade'of
olitieal opinion—Democratic, Republican,
mpendcm-—hn‘e been bidding against
‘other for the privilege of publication
woorn— AT EANTA @S- GEORGIAN =
of this great news story. The prices offered
Were enormous.
Among the other leading newspapers that
will publish the Ludendorff articles are:
Louisville Courier-Journal (Democratic).
Cineinnati Enquirer (Democratic).
New York World (Independent Demo
cratic).
Chicago Daitly News (Independent).
Toronto Star (Independent).
St. Louis Post-Dispateh (Independent
Demoeratic).
San Francisco Examiner (Independent).
Los Angeles Xxaminer (Independent).
Seattle Star (Independent).
Pittsburg Gazette-Times (Republican).
In Atlanta the successful bidder was The
Atlanta Georgian and Sunday American,
It must be said, ‘not without a sense of
gshame for the profession, that some news
papers who failed to secure.the story have
lately been lending themselves to propagan
da against it. In some cases they have taken
the attitude that the story was of little or no
importance, and in other instances they have
taken the attitude of Senator Chamberlain,
For the information of Senator Cham
herlain and the public generally, here are a
few high spots from the first three hundred
pages of Ludendorff’s story already trans.
lated, making quite elear the nature of the
work :
Ludendorff TELLS how Germany feared
Holland and Denmark would join the allies
and give her her death-blow on those unpro
tected frontiers which she had not a single
man available to defend.
He RELATES in detail how the high com
mand saw nothing but defeat facing them
in 1916, and of the countless efforts made to
bring about peace.
He EXPLAINS that at uo time had he
any hope of the collapse of any of the allied
nations. :
He CONFESSES that Verdun was a colos
sal mistake, with its ghastly toll of wasted
lives and material.
He T‘gu of the battle of the Somme
and admits the terrific effectiveness of Mar
shal Haig’s policy of attrition which caused
huge losses that Germany could ill afford.
Ile FRANKLY A.D-%TI that the weak
ened man power of the German avmy and
the shortage of munitions on the western
front was more alarmingly serious than the
allies ever suspected.
He ACKNOWLEDGES that at the end of
1916 the German troops on the western front
were completely exhausted.
He ADMITS that the attempt to organ
ize the Polish army to inerease their availa
ble man power was a complete failure.
He EXPLAINS how ‘many of the fight
mg methods of the allies were adopted by
the German commanders.
He GIVES DETAILS of the serious frou
bles between German statesmen and the high
command on the one side and those of Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey on the other.
He REFERS AGAIN AND AGAIN in
terms of scathing bitterness to the ineffi
ciency and lack of co-operation of the im
perial governmeut.
He ADMITS REPEATEDLY the weak
ness of German statesmen, and lauds the
abilities of Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Wilson.
He CLAIMS that the constant talk of
peace hy German statesmen destroyved the
will of the people to wage war successfully.
He 001“‘:'“8 that the. campaign
against Roumania, which seemed a brilliant
military victory for Germany, left her in a
greatly weakened condition without compen
sating results.
He RECOGNIZED the allied determina
tion to defeat the central powers and to ae
cept no other ending of the war.
He TELLS of the unwillingness of those
in power to take any responsibility for un
restricted U-boat warfare, and divulges who
actually gave the order at last.
He REVEALS that Germdny hoped in
September, 1916, that President Wilson
would act as a go-between for peace. Says
the German government knew in Novem
ber, 1916, of President Wilson's plans for
his note of December 18, on “Peace With.
out Vietory."
He TELLS how Von Bernstorff attempted
to further Wilson's peace plans and to keep
the United States out of war.
. He ADMITS that the gllied propaganda
against Germany throughout the wordd was
eminently suceessful in contrast to the com
plete failure of yhe German propaganda.
He Bm;“unj)tho publication
of Bernhardi's book.
He ADMITB the so-called strategic re
treat to the Hindenburg line was actually a
necessity with no alternative,
lHle THROWS NEW LIGHT on the at
tempts of Germany to embroil Mexico with
the United States. .

on in the world.
She's always !
polite to the right people and ab- ’
sent-minded to the wrong ones. i

fine taste in hats already. !
“Kate's pretty, too. She'll be
Landsome when ‘she's grown up, |
and she'll know how to make ten l
dollars lcok like a hundred. Oh, |
I'm not worried about Kate. |
“Mary—now Mary’s different, {
“Mary has a good, steady brain |
of her ‘own, all right. But she's i
eagily deceived; she loves,every- |
body and everything.
“Mary’s always bringing home |
some alley cat, or coaxing a dog
with a lame foot to follow *her. |
“She gave her best hat away the |
other day to a little girl who came |
to school in a queer old hat and !
was made fun of for it by the rest :
of the children. |
“Mary is'nt pretty. But I'd rather |
look at her than to look at any |
pretty girl in the world, and I be- |
lieve there’ll be a good many people |
who'il feei that way as long as she |
lives.
WHY DESERT KATE. |
“There's something sweet and !
honest, and wholesome and lovable, |
about Mary. You can't look at her |
without wanting tc make her smile |
anu see her eves shine, ’
“Kate will be successful. Mary |
is going to he happy.”
Kat® and Mary are the little
caughters of the man who ought to
know, and of course I like Mary the f
better, ¢
But I wonder if something can't |
be dore for XKate, {
If she were stupid, slow, dull of |
comprehension, we'd all strain ‘
every nerve to send her to the best |
schools and have her read the best ]
books, and we'd make up excuses i
for her and try to cover up her |
blunders. 8o why shculd we desert {
poor Kate without a bit of trying to ;
improve her just because it is her i
heart that is stupid and not the
mind?
Why not? i
I've sgeen children go to boarding |
school, vain, selfish, critical, cold- !
hearted creatures, and come home |
Findly, sympathetic and gentle— ‘
that's because they'd been brought
up wrong at home.
They'd never had a chance to i
think with their hearts at all
Now, if Kate were my little girl,
first of all I'd get her some good,
interesting books to read, hooks
that minimize the importance of
clothes, wholesome, clean, jolly
books full of wholesome, clean
minded, joliy girls. And if I caught
people talking clothes and money |
and appearances to Kate, I'd make |
pretty sure she didn't see much of |
those particular people very soon ’
again. And I wouldn't talk about
clothes and money and social posi- I
tion myself or even think about ‘
them, either, for children are as |
sensitive to atmosphere as a plant |
is sensitive to sunshine
I'd eultivate poor Katie's meager i
little keart. I'd make her see how
much fun it is to be kind and what
a lot of juy there is in generosity
Oh, no, 1 could never make a |
Mary of ner, of course' I
People will always admire Kate, {
very few will love her, 3 |
No one will spend mueh time l
admiring Mary-—-they'd be too |
busy loving her for that, |
Cun the heart be cultivated. as ‘
well as the minad?
thn a cold, selfish, ealeulating
nature he warmed and broadened |
and deepened and sweetened? g
I belleve it can and, oh, how |
worth while it would he to try? |
What I 8 there in the world half |
#0 Intercsting us watching the de- |
velopmert and the growth and the ,
strengthening of a 4 human soul.
THE HEART GARDEN.
I'd rather be the mother of two
girls like Kate and Mary, or tweo
boys like a certain John and Jim 1
know, thun to have the most beau
tiful garden and the finest palace to
live in, in all the world, |
In the wirter the garden does not
grew, and there are times when
tilaces are not only very cold, ‘but
very lonely i
But the human heart-—gh, that is
a garden worth cultivating indeed!
Poor Kate I'm awfully sorry for
hier. 1 don't think she's going to |
have what I call a really good time |
in life-do you? |
