BERLIN, Dec. 19.—" Coward or martyr?" Is again the burning question confronting the German ration following the publication of the ex-Kaiser's correspondence with Field Marshal von Hindenburg In which the former Emperor "passed the buck” for his flight Into Holland following the collapse of the German army. Publication of the letters was designed to prove 'William was not guilty of cowardice in fleeing from Germany and that he had attempted to prevent the war. NATIONALIST PRESS ACCEPTS STATEMENTS. The entire nationalist press has accepted all the statements in the letters as true and is fairly reveling in eulogies of the “noble sacrifice" of the former war lord. The only Jarring note was sounded by some of the Junker newspapers, which expressed the opinion that the ex-Kai-ser’s place at the moment of the nation’s greatest trial was at the head of the army. The Junker papers put responsibility upon Hindenburg for proposing the exKaiser’s flight, but say that the advice should not have been taken. Leaders of the Junker faction criticise the revelations as “Hindenburg’s Christmas present to the nation.” It has come as a shock, however, 1n view of the fact that it was sprung at the hour of Germany’s admitted bankruptcy and on the eve of the conference with Premier Lloyd George and Premier Briand in London. It is feared that the correspondence will furnish ammunition to the French lrreconcllables. As to Hindenburg, his unshaken loyalty to his old sovereign is universally admitted. Even enemies of the aged veteran praise his devo'ion. CRITICS HOLD FLIGHT UNPARDONABLE MISTAKE. Impartial critics not allied with the Nationalist-junker groups contend that the ex-Kaiser's flight was an unpardonable mistake. They argue that instead of averting internal bloodshed, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back—the camel being Prussian army dis.lpUne. With the war lord gone, the bottom dropped out. The opinion was widely held that while the kaiser’s correspondence might soften the titterness against him, it was not sufficient to creat ony sympathy in bis behalf, or raise any desire for his return. It was declared freely that Germany—now a land of apathy, indifference and uncertainties—ls through witu William and the former Crown Prince, his son.

SHANK WOULD PERMIT JITNEY BUSSES TO RUN Favors Modification of Ordinance Prohibiting Competition. RECOMMENDS BOND PLAN Modification of the Jitney bos regulation ordinance to permit Jitneys to operate upon any 'Greets they desire to use, provided they meet hign bond requirements now In the law Is favored by Samuel Lewis Shank, mayor-elect. The ordinance was drawn so as to legislate Jitneys off of streets where street cars run for the purpose of granting the Indianapolis Street Railway Company's demand that it be relieved of jitney competition. The jitneys now are permitted to un on inch streets, but can not receive or discharge passengers thereon. Mr. Shank also announced that he hopes to obtain either the repeal or modification of the anti-open vault ordinance. If the measure can not be repealed, he hopes it can be changed so as to permit property owners three years instead of one to make sewer connections or install sceptic tanks. FAVORS ZONE CARFARE PLAN. In return for loosening the jitney regulations, Mr. Shank said he would f_vor permitting the street railway company to collect fares under the zone system whereby 5 cents would be the cost of a short ride and 10 cents a long haul. Courteous treatment of patients and visitors at the city hospital and betterment of the ambulance service as well as establishment of a follow-up system of caring for patients after they leave the hospital, are things which the new board of public health hopes to accomplish, Dr. E. E. Hodgin, chairman, said. Dr. Hodgin said he is interested in taking better care of mothers and babies while they are in the obstetrical ward and after they are sent home. Mr. Shank and Herman F. Rikhoff, appointee for chief of police, are considering suggestions for changes in the traffic regulation system, brought from Detroit by City Councilman-elect Walter W. .Wise. OFFENDERS TOLD TO GO SETTLE. Mr. Wise said in Detroit traffic regulations offenders are given a sticker by the polii eman who catches them and directed :o go to police headquarters to pay their assessment. At headquarters a card index system is kept. If it is the violator's first offense he is assessed $1; second. $3 and subsequent offense in any one year, $5. If tbu person with the sticker thinks he has been unjustly handled he can take his case to city eouft. This saves busy persons a trip to city court if they wish to pay the assesgmen. Mr. Wise pointed out. Detroit collected more than SBO,OOO in assessments last year, few-people going to court. WISE RECOMMENDS ONE-WAY SYSTEM. One-way traffic streets and the tower system of traffic control were recommended by Mr. Wise. Miss Rachel Bray, Miss Helen Franke and Miss Geneve Means, policewomen under the age of 30, have tendered their resignations, effective Jan. 1, to Miss Clara Burnside, captain of policewomen. They said since Mr. Shank had talLed so much about young women in police work, possibly he would change his attitude toward the department if they got out of it. Mr. Shank intends to abolish the women's division. Eggleton Funeral Held From Home Funeral service for Peyton W.
