It was Ludendorff who as quarter master general of the German general staff was. next to the
kaiser, the almost military dictator. Now he has written his great story—a story of defense,
of excuses, of explanation, and bares his heart and innermost secrets of the German military1
party. His story— the greatest contribution, from a German standpoint, to the history of the
war—will begin in the Austin American this Sunday, Sept. 7, and continue daily and Sunday
until Ludendorff's secrets are all told. If you would understand the war, you must read Luden-

By Ansociated Press to th* Austin Ameriean
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 4.-
President Wlison told a crowd of
several thousand in Ind tanapolia
Thursday night that no one believed
the league of nations would make all
warn impossible, but that he ex-
pected it to make war "improbable."
James P. Goodrich, republican gov-
ernor of Indiana, in a brief address,
welcomed the president.
When the governor mentioned that
the meeting was to hear the presi-
dent the crowd cheered for several
minutes and the governor could not
stop them by presenting Mr. Wilson.
"Article X," declared the preeident.
"speaks the conscience of the world.
"It goes to the heart of thia whole
bad business."
"At present," he said, "we have to
mind our own business, but under
the covenant of the league, we can
mind other peonies business."
There was not an oppressed peo-
ple anywhere, he said, that could not
get attention for its case under the
league.
He did not mention any oppressed
people by name, but many of his
heurers remarktd that they thought
he spoke of the case of Ireland.
Referring to the Shantung settle-
ment, the president pointed out that
Japan repeatedly had promised to
returne the peninsula to China.
He did not go into the subject
at length, however, but mentioned
it in emphasising that the covenant
would refuse to recognise the validity
of secret treaties.
The president’s speech was inter-
rupted several times by noise in the
tear of the great hall
Hia voice did not carry and many
persons on the outskirts. Unable to
hear, left the hall.
After the president had proceeded
for a few minutes, he was forced to
suspend while the police closed the
doors.
The preeident* next scheduled ad-

WASHINGTON, Sept.' 4.—Regret

The President said it was not his
purpose during the trip to "debate*’
the treaty, but to expound it.
Mr. Wilson began by saying that
he had "ehafed at th enpfngemnit
of Washington, and wan glad to get
out to make his report to the peo-
ple."
In the first place, the president
said, the treaty undertook to punish
Germany, but that there was no
. thought to overwhelmingly crush any
’ great people.
1 Restraiut in Reparations.
' "Restraint had been exercised." he
said, "and there was provision for
making the reparation no greeter
, than Germany could pay."
The president said he had been
. astonished at statements of the treaty
। and was convinced many of them
, were made by men who had not read
. it or else had failed to comprehend
its meaning.
The league of natiops. the president
, declared, was formed in fulfillment
of the promise that the United States
was fighting this war to "end busi-
ness of that sort" forever.
Not, to establish the league, he
r said, would be "unfaithful" to those I
l who had died.
• In Fvent of Rejection.
“If we do not do this thing," he
declared, "we have neglected the
central covenant we promised our
people.
"The league of nations 1* the only
thing that can prevent “the recur-
। rence of this catastrophe.”
Besides this, the president con-
tinued. the treaty "tears away" the
chains of oppression and gives small
i nationalities the right to live their
own lives.
Fought for American Ides.
“That," he said, "was the Ameri-
< an position and I was glad to fight
for it."
Italy, the president continued, had
presented to the conference a con-
trary propose! in her request for
Flume :
Though there were only scattered 1
Italian settlements there, he declared.
Italy wanted Flume for strategic and <
military purposes.
If there were a league of na- i
tions, he asserted, Italy would not ।
need that foothold.
“I’d rather have everybody on my 1
side." he continued, “than be armed i
to the teeth.**
Referring to criticism that the I
treaty violated American traditions. «
Mi Wilson said he was proud that 4
hr. toe. belonged to the “old revolu-
fear or favor, the whole Germat aide

it »UI not be a justfication, but
