BERLIN. Aug. 17. (Special Cable.)
Official and political circles are eager
ly watching the United States senate's
peace deliberations. The present gov
ernment has a vital interest ln the
speediest possible ratification by Amer-
ica, as every day's delay helps to under
mine the young and none too strong
republic and strengthen the reaction
ary forces. .
This is because non-ratification by
America Is blocking the return of Ger
man prisoners, according to the popular
German view, and their long-expected
but long-delayed return i fast becom
ing a burning and pos-5i!y explosive
issue. Mass meetings are beginning to
be held In various parts of Germany
protesting against the further deten
tion of i their prisoners and loudly
clamoring for the . government to get
them home.
The most recent of these mass meet
ings were marked by sensational
scenes, radical speakers whipping their
audiences to a frantic and emotional
pitch, with women weeping, shrieking
and going into hysterics.
The government's strongest popular
argument for the signing of peace was
to get the prisoners home quickly, and
it is now taunted by the reactionary
nationalistic opposition with Its fail
ure to do so despite the signing and
the rushing of ratification by Ger.
many.

BERLIN. Aug., 15. (Special Cabbie.)
When Japan demanded Tsingtau a
cry of raging Indignation went through
Germany. Never had the silent men
of Nippon hinted that German pos
session of Eastern Asiatic soil was
vexatious to them. Now they have
used the hour of Germany's great-
I est need to place brusquely on record
an assertion or rights wntcn Deiongea
not to them but to China, which they
seem to regard as their ward.
Kiaochou had cost us a tall heap
of millions, which were lost with the
acquiescence of the allies In this as
sertion. Since, however, Japan had
never previously entertained the
thought of this acquisition even as
Frarce had hoped never to let itself
into the war except to the extent that
self-interest dictated the fire of rage
here soon disappeared in smoke, for
there are other grievances more ur
gent, which are voiced in reproaches
of disloyalty and breaches of alliance
against Italy and Roumania.
Reprojirbea Without Reasoa.
These reproacb.es are really without
reason, tor these countries were neither
pledged to participate in a war declared
by Germany, nor were they prevented
by any agreement from throwing the
weight of their arms into the scale
of the attacked side.
Japan really had obligations to Ger.
man leach' rs and to the German at
titude which favored them In their war
ag&inst Russia. It seems the height
of ingratitude that they should fall
upon Germany with a brusque ultima
tum. Yet they quickly have received
German condonation.
"They will need us yet, and we will
need them," one hears everywhere. The
quite unjustifiable rage, as I, a preacher
in the wilderness, said hundreds of
times, over the supply of arms to Ger
many's enemies by America, . and the
madness of the militarists, which suf
fered the delusion that without war the
conflicting interests of the great na
tions could not be disentangled,, led to
the following chain of thought:
Japan will not wait until the United

In , f ' . . ,v war, from the

an
d
has been declared
to be the most re-
tion ever given to
the public by one
of the principal
actors in the
drama that rocked
the globe and
tumbled thrones.
It is the history
of Germany's side
in the war, told
by one most close
ly in touch with
the events of that period in the
central powers a chronicle for
which the world has waited
since the gage .of battle was
hurled by the Hun in 1914.
Whatever views one may hold
of Germany defeated, of the men
who dictated her policies and di
rected her campaigns, the fact
remains beyond dispute that Lu
dendorff towered above his Prus
sian fellows In the strife for
world dominion, and that none is
better fitted to analyze and re
cord the circumstances which led
to the struggle, the bitter cam
paigns that ended in inglorious
defeat, and the inwardness of the
German spirit as Germans inter
pret it.

CHINESE AVIATOR. KILLED
Licensed Flier Accompanying Stu-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17. Chin
Hoy, a Chinese student, was killed in
stantly and Chin Chang, a licensed
Chinese aviator, who recently arrived
here from the east, was injured seri
ously late today at Redwood City, 30
miles southwest of San Francisco, when
an airplane ln which they were flying
crashed into the earth from an approxi
mate height of 2000 feet.
According to Chang he had taken Hoy
on an instruction flight, the latter sit
ting in the front seat of the plane,
while Chang occupied the rear seat.
Chang said Hoy apparently had at
tempted to experiment with the con
trols in the front seat. Chang called
Instructions to Hoy, but the roar of the
motor drowned his voice.
Within ' a few feet of the ground
Chang was successful partly ln putting
the plane into a glide but not soon
enough to- avoid striking with force
enough to demolish the plane..

Subserviency to President Resented
by Own Party; Get-Together
With McXary Group Promised.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 17. The league of nation
contest is regarded as in the last phase
of the fighting. It is learned today
on good authority that there is about
to be a eet-toeether of republican res
ervationists and democrats in spite of
the Wilson edict that there shall be no
compromise.
The McNary group, as the reserva
tionists have come to be designated, it
is ascertained, has received overture
from democratic senators which prob
ably mean a hasty settlement of the
question of the treaty ratification.
The democratic senators say that they
are not willing to go any furtl r with
the president's demand that there shall
be no compromise. They are willing,
they say, to accept any reasonable res
ervations, and they admit frankly
feeling that their constitutions demand
some clearer assertions of American
rights.
Protests Cause Alarm.
The utter subserviency of the ma
jority of democratic senators to Presi
dent Wilson has almost put the dem
ocratic party on the rocks, it is pri
vately admitted by a few. Alarm is
shown at the protests coming from
democratic sources in Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, Ken
tucky and a half-dozen other states
demanding that the democrats stan
pat and fight."
The formation of two new parties i
Texas, both of them making an issue of
President Wilson's principal policies,
have set party leaders to thinking.
New worry is afforded democratic
party leaders in Washington by the
news today that the Carranza govern
ment has expelled William Cummings,
British agent, from that country.
Mexican Situation Viewed.
This action of Carranza is expected
to force the hand of this government,
because it has been hinted here that
the two or three foreign governments
exacted from Mr. Wilson during the
conferences in Paris a promise that he
would do some cleaning up in Mexico
soon if Carranza's attitude did not
change.
Republicans today found significance

I family each gave three sons to the
theory advanced by fellow aviators is
that they were forced to land, either
on the American or Mexican side of
the border in the wild country of the
' Big Bend district and were made
prisoners by the Mexican bandits, who
make marauding trips across the bor
der at frequent Intervals in search of
cattle and other property which they
carry off to Mexico.
Waeo It became known at Fort Bliss
tonigftV that the aviators were re
ported held by Mexican bandits, there
was much discussion among army offi
cers of the possibility of American
troops crossing the border in search
of the bandits who were holding the
aviators prisoners. This was discredit
ed by higher officers for two reasons.
The principal one advanced was that
the aviators would be killed if an ex
pedition crossed in pursuit of the
bandits. The other reason was that
orders for expeditions to cross the bor
der ln the Big Bend district apply only
ta the pursuit of bandits who have
stolen property on the American side,
and then only to follow a "hot trail."
