RUSSIANS MEW
TO GERMANY, SAYS
GEN. LUDEIORFE
. ' By Frank Mason
" , 'o.yrightl, 120
Berlin. July 31- Germany lies to
day at the mercy of Bolshevik Rus
' eia In a military sense, according to
General Krlc Ludendorff, former
quartermanter general of the - Ger
man army, chief of staff of Field
Marshal von Hlndenburg, and noted
during the war as the "brains of
the German army."
General Ludendorff declared that the
frontier of Kast Prussia, where the
Russians are reported ; to" have massed
65.000 troops, is virtually .unprotected
; and that the "reichswehr,' "the, present
standing army of Germany, 4s no mutch
for the veterans of the powerful army
of soviet Jiusfeia.
SIDESTEPS POLITICS
. General Ludendorff would not dis
cuss the political phase of the new sit
uation 'Which has been created Rus
sia's successful campaign against Po
land. " .'-.rt"''V
"An analysis of the present military
" situation convinces me that Germany Is
at the mercy of Bolshevik Russia," de
clared the general. 'The German
"reichswehr Is no match for the soviet
; armies." .
"Do you mean that the reichswehr
troops are Insufficient or incompetent
. to defend Germany from possible ag
, (rre.-tsion by the Russian army? the
- general was asked.
: "Troops must always be Judged In re
lation to their opponents." replied Lu
, dendorff. "The reichswehr soldiers have
not been through maneuvers nor battle
practice and cagjiot be used to defend
- our eastern frontier because a large pro
portion of the army would be required
to maintain order in" the interior of Ger
many. Attempted invasion by the Rus
sians might result in internal troubles by
their German sympathizers.
"On the other hand the Russians are
in good fighting"- shape and are well
trained. They have defeated the armies
of General Denlkin and Admiral Kolchak
and now today they have conquered the
Poles. They have greater numbers of
fighting men than we have.
GEIltfAXY'S WEAK SPOT
-I consider that the East Prussian
frontier is unprotected and Is therefore
Oermanj-s greatest danger spot. We
are solely dependent upon the good will
of Rusgta'a soviet army and it is an un
bearable position for any Btate to be in."
General Ludendorff was reminded of
reports that have been circulated from
time to time in allied countries that he
Is the leader ,of a Nationalist -Bolshevik
movement in Germany,,- He greeted this
remark with a hearty!' laugh and then
replied : .
- ""Anyone who believes this has cer
tainly given but little attention to what
I have written and-said on the subject.
But I must keep away from all politics.
I am a soldier. I only feel and care for
Germany's future."

"Hi
William Conner
"What - does an airplane, look like?"
asks William W. Courter. -
"Is It shaped, like a cigar or a bird, or
13 It different; from both?" .
I know what a horse looks like. I
have a very good Idea or what an auto
mobile looks like, but what, what does
an airplane look like?" ' ,
If an . airplane soars above the head
of William- Gourter he will ear, per
haps, the bombardment of its exhaust.
But while others looking upward see it
fly, he cannot. Day brings to him no
more suggestion of light than dark. He
is 32 years old and for 15 years he has
been blind. ' ;
You will find William Courter with
his unanswered question almost any day
now down at; the corner of Fifth and
Aldef streets. LAnd he finds some bright
ness in the very fact that he is there
and has something to do.
Out at 914 Kast Everett street, a wife
and five children are dependent on the
living the blind man can make. He was
long a familiar figure with hla package
of pencils and he made enough from
their sale to take care of the wife and
little 'ones. i
Then the clty adopted an ordinance
forbidding pencil sellers an other "men
dicants" the right to do business on the
Streets. What was William Courter to'
do? He came to The Journal with heart
full of "artxlety." Circulation Manager
your arms xuii or journals wnicn you
can sell." ; ' ' .
So .William - Courter is down at the
corner of .Bifth and Alder streets, and
whenever he sells a Journal he grows
happier. He knows life will be easier
for. the' little folks over on East Everett
street.

FRENCH
BLUEBEARD
CLAIMED TO HAVE
MURDERED MANY
Paris. July 31. (I., N. , S.) The
chain of evidence which the state Is
forging against Henri Landru. .the
modern ; French "bluebeard." : was
strengthened today - when medical
experts reported to the French Courts
that they had discovered proof that
three persons, probably women, had
been cut up and burned in Landru's
villa at Gambais.. -
Landru was originally accused of mur
dering fcpm 11 to 13 "wives" or "fiancees",-
for; their J property. , He. was ." ar
rested more than a year ago, but despite
the vigorous and ceaseless investigation
of the .police they were unable to gather
evidence sufficiently strong to put him
on trial for his life.
PRISONER IS COOL

and cynical air'' under examination.. ,.- .
"I am as gentle as a dove and I would
not hurt the hair of a woman's head,"
was his favorite reply , to questions con
cerning p the ; -whereabouts of missing
woman with whom he was friendly.
Landru maintained a villa at Gambais,
situated, near the shore of a lake.- The
original theory was that he poisoned his
alleged victims, then cut up and-burned
the bodies and dumped the charred . re
mains . in the lake at night. The lake
had been ' dragged 'seven times and de
bris experts and the police were unable
to connect them with Landru's alleged
crime. ;
FIRES CP FURXACE - '
Neighbors of Landru said that he fre
quently -returned late ' at night and
started a roaring fire in the furnace of
the villa. -
The whole house would be lighted up
with the glow and black, greasy , smoke
would pour from the chimney. .
- Landru's real wife recently secured a
divorce from him after remaining loyal
for months after ' his arrest. Letters
seized in Landru's effects showed he had
74 "sweethearts." . -

the present system -of garbage han
dling: '"I'"' :'
Bids are to be in before September

one of the plans offered, will submit it
to the voters for'approvarat the Siovem

... There, are a - dozen" or more reputable
companies in the United States operating-
garbage disposal systems, and bids
will be Invited from these. City Com
missioner Blgelow is. in charge of the
municipal' incinerator and has been
gathering information relative to a more
effective collection plan. : "
He looks with favor on the Los An
geles plan.- A .company there operates
a reduction plant and pays the city for
the garbage as - it Is -delivered -to the
plant. This pays all the city's expense
of collection, and is said also to net the
city some profit, r The engineer for the
Los . Angeles plant is 'expected in Port
land in a few days by "Commissioner
Bigelow to canvass the local situation.
Under the present system in Portland
not more than-one third of the garbage
is actually disposed of at the Incinera
tor, it has been estimated. Private col
lectors gather the garbage - and charge
the residents . for the collection, and
many, people -refuse to pay:: these fees.
This results in many persons so dispos
ing of their garbage as - to create a
menace to the public health, according
to Dr. George Parrish, city health offi

For Peace League
At the regular. monthly meeting of the
Jackson club in room A Central library,
Friday evening. Will B. King, ex-counselor
for tlu reclamation department at
Washington, discussed the League of
Nations, treating it particularly from the
viewpoint of the American Bar associa

cipation of the , nations ., of the whole
world from horrors of war.

SOURCES OF FOE
By Raymond Clapper .
Marion, Ohio, July 31.(U. P.)
Determined ' to hold the offensive,
Warren 7 O. Harding T pointed his
heavy guns atr the financial sources
behind the Democratic campaign to
day, charging that "certain powerful
financial interests' interested in the
administration's foreign policies, are
prepared to contribute liberally to
the Democratic fund this year.
Harding also served notice that he ts
on his guard against efforts of Demo
cratic leaders to sidetrack the League of
Nations issue during' the campaign.
HARDIXO BREAKS SILSCE
. Although Harding had resolved to say
nothing on . the league question until
after Cox's acceptance speech, he was
unable to keep, silent after the state
ment of Democratic Chairman White,
declaring the- league Issue is not of
primary ; interest to the ' public and ex
pressing skepticism regarding the 11000
limit on campaign contributions proposed
by Republican leaders. ,
Harding retorted if the Democrats
have no intention of attempting a limi
tation of campaign contributions, they
will meet the disapproval of the country.
"Undoubtedly it is quite true that cer
tain : powerful international interests,
which' are deeply concerned in carrying
out the administration's foreign policy,
are prepared to . contribute Hbeptfly to
Democratic funds." Harding said. "Un
doubtedly it is true, too, that without
such contributions the Democrats would
find It very difficult to raise the funds
hey heed."
Harding declared Cox has failed thus
far to answer the question put in a re
cent statement Issued from his ; front
porch. ' "
COUNTRY WANTS TO KNOW -
"The more Democrats ; attempt to get
away from this question the more in
sistent the country will be to know what
they Intend to do If they ure entrusted
with the administration,"' Harding said.
Today the Republican candidate was
to receive the first delegation since his
acceptance a week ago. -
Fifteen . hundred " to 2000 members of
the Hardlng-Coolidge club from Rich
land and Crawford counties were to visit
the front porch.

members of Chicago's mercantile
aristocracy were involved in the mys
terious death here last night of Sam
uel T. A. Loft is. '

diamond brokerage firm, was found
dead In his flat. There were slight
marks on his head and chest but none
to indicate a fatal wound.

T. Shayne, former nationally known
furrier, was another principal, lie and
"Ruth Woods." whom he claimed an a '
fiancee, were held by police today, They
were with the hot-tempered Loftls when
he died.
"He insulted Ruth and she telephoned
me. I went to the flat at once and
Loftls opened the tloor-to admit me.
Right then he slipped to the floor un
conscious and a physician was called,"
Shayne said. He pronounced him dead.
"Miss Woods' disappeared from the
luxurious --flat shortly after the physi
cian had left. Shayne called the cor
oner's office, asking the official to visit
the flat at once.
"I'm in a hell of a hole." he told the
officer, . urging speed. Questioned by
officers, Shayne refused' to tgive "Miss
Woods' " name, asserting she was in no
way guilty and that publicity would dis
grace her.

was a note from Miss Josephine M. 1 law
sell. 23, his secretary. She had a room
iti. the Loftls flat, but left it when the
housekeeper went on her vacation. The
note was a wall that Loftls had Insulted
her publicly and privately. She "said
