THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1919. PAGE. SEVEN. 1 Revolution Responsible For Collapse of Hun War Machine Says Hindenburg RELIEF AT LAST By Carl D. Groat (United Press .staff correspondent) eciia. Nor. 18. The final "judg znes of history" will show that the revolution was' only a "keystone of Germany's military collapse," Field Marshal Von Hindenburg; told the refchstag committee investigating the war. lack of cooperation, the weakness and (allure of political leaders and lack of support in his demand for cbedienoe was the -real cause of the disintegration of the German land and naval forces, he declared. Operators were doomed before the revolution. Von Hindenburg insisted, It only put the finishing jouches to Germany's collapse. Tank Entering Forecast Following Von Hindenburg, Erich Ludendorff, former, quartermaster general, who shared with the field marshal the command of Germany's land forces, declared the situation was "most serious" when he and Von Hindenburg assumed command. Ger- Tiitxiy's armies were -outnumbered ten to six he said, and inadequate equipment and ammunition caused heavy losses. During Von Hindenburg's testimony yesterday the probers, produced re ports from Daniel Von Halmhausen former secretary of the German em bassy in Washington warning the im- Tierial government that America would enter the war if the threatened unrestricted submarine warfare was Started. . America's entry meant defeat for Germany, Von Haimbausen warned. according to his reports, adding that German-Americans in the United States generally were loyal to the Am' erican government. ( U-boat Decision Hard Ludendorff brushed these reports acide declaring that "such memoran da" always was referred to the "prop er sources." Von Hindenburg was inclined to give the reports more serious treatment. The decision for unrestricted under sea warfare was the "hardest" of the war, he admitted excepting only the armistice. Monarchists and pan-Germans stag ed a great demonstration as Von Hin denburg and Ludendorff came to the reichstag building yesterday. More than 2000 were gathered in front of the building in a blinding snow storm. "Hoch Hindenburg! Hoch Luden dorff!" the crowd shouted. Then a group started up Deutsch- land Uber Alles and soon the whole crowd was singing. As Hindenburg came to the reichstag steps the crowd sang "Hell Dir In Siegerkranz." Old Chiefs Cheered Imperial 'colors appeared from ev erywhere and many men bared ther heads in honor of their old chief. Inside the reichstag building Von Hindenburg found upon his desk a great bunch of lillles, tied with rib bons in the imperial colors. Heavily armed guards of the forces of Gustav Noske, minister of defense, plodded through the snow around the reichstag but made no attempt to stop the. demonstration in honor of the two Warriors. Machine guns were kept in readiness, however. Another demonstration, was staged as Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff left the reichstag. Monarchists again started "Hoch Hindenburg," but the anti-monarchists had gathered and drowned them with a eounter dem onstration, Ringing thfe Marseillaise and shouting "Hindenburg the slaughterer." Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 2. Charlie Chaplin, funny man, agrees with Max Under, t he French screen comedian who has Just reached New York, that the day of custard pies, blackberry Jam. slapstick and over ripe eggs aa screen laugh producers have gone. He thinks they were all right in their time but that comedy has ad vanced beyond that stage. "When a scene -presents a natural situation suggesting laughter the laugh belongs to the people in the audience and they take it," Chaplin com mented today. ' When a me chanical contrivance is resort ed to it may or may not pro duce laughter. But what is the result? The laugh generally belongs to the man operating the prop and the audience us ually lets him have it" So the price of custard pies can be expected to slump.
