WORLD LEAGUE IS CONDEMNED BY MTTERSON Scheme to Have America Underwrite Combustions of Europe, He Claims. WASHINGTON. July 21. Henry Watterson, former editor, and president ot the league for the Preservation of American Independence, today Issued a statement declaring the league of nations was a scheme to hare the United States underwrite the combustions of Europe. Colonel Watterson said: "The proposed league of nations Is, In my opinion, a scheme to hare the United States pull England's chesnuts and the chesnuts of France out of the fire. "It -would hare to underwrite the combustions of Europe. The bedrock of the religion of humanity from which It springs Is In the chimera of racial brotherhood, and the chimera of racial brotherhood is In the visionary theories of self-exploiting philosophers more learned In books than in life. "America should stand as a refuge of hope and example of wisdom to the beleaguered of all lands. "We are strong enough to make our Isolation effective, to punish the selfish and protect the stricken, and we only shall weaken our moral power and International influence by high-sounding verbal covenants and one-sided alllaances that, while bringing many responsibilities, put us at a universal disadvantage." State Guard Head Hot in

Favor of Cavalry Unit INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. July 21. Plans for the re-establlshment of the Indiana National Guard are being made rapidly In the office of Harry B. Smith, adjutant general, and It is expected arrangements tor mustering In units in the new organization will be completed within the next month. A meeting of those Interested In the guard will be called by General Smith In a few days. According to Information Issued by the war department recently, Indiana will be allowed to organize one regiment of Infantry, one of cavalry and one ot artillery. In discussing this allotment, the adjutant general said: "I realize that the war department. In calling upon the various states for certain kinds of troops, has in view the organization of the National Guard from a national standpoint, 1. e., the formation of such units In the states as will, combined, make up a complete army. The organization of a regiment of cavalry, or even ot artillery, in Indiana, as outlined by the war department, is practically prohibited by the enormous cost which It would entail, the building of armories being one item that would involve staggering expense. "It Is my hope to get the plan for Indiana changed so as to Include two regiments ot infantry; two, or possibly three batteries of artillery, and a machine gun battalion, eliminating the cavalry. There will be an engineer unit and a radio section, along with a hospital corps, etc."

Rev. Backas Preaches on Travel as Faith Helper Travel, as a means of increasing Christian faith, was urged by the Rev.

A. J. Backus, at Grace Methodist church Sunday morning. Dr. Backus, who recently returned from a vacation, part of which was spent at the Methodist centenary at Columbus, O., told the congregation of the wonderful experiences that were gained through travel, such as were enjoyed by the huge crowd of Methodists who attended the centenary. The travels of Paul, which Rev. Backus pointed out, were largely responsible for his enriched faith. Rev. Backus' sermon was on "The Full Assurance of Faith."

Buck Wenger, night sergeant of the Richmond police department, had tome awful moments in Hamilton a few days ago, when he. Sheriff Carr, and Assistant Chief of Police McNally went down to testify In the West trial. Wenger got away from the courtroom earl' and drove the sheriff's car to the Elk's club, leaving the little thing hitched in front. When he came out an hour later, the car was gone. He and the Hamilton police force searched frantically for an hour, and at last found the missing link in a garage. Sheriff Carr was in the vicinity, so Buck finally suspected a practical Joke. Ho wa3 right. But he had toino awful moments.

LONDON, July 21. Among the German army and navy officers and civilians who must stand trial for crimes committed during the late war are at least a half dozen in addition to the ex-kaiser who may be classed as leaders of great Influence and prominence in the old Germany. Two princes, an ex-cabinet member and several famous generals are found on the long list In the International rogues' gallery. Some may be tried In Paris, others In Brussels, while still others may face their doom in London and be imprisoned in the famous old Tower. Before the peace treaty was signed notice was given to Germany that she would be required to surrender Bome offenders for trial before a tribunal representing five chief allied and asociate powers, but no names were mentioned. It seems to be assured that the defendants will include the following men: Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,, known to his admirers as "the anvil of the west," who Is reported in official documents to have ordered his men to take no Blrtishers alive. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle compiled and edited a record of the evidence on which Great Britain based her charge that Rupprechet was responsible also for deportations from Lille, Roubaix, Turcolng and other towns. Von Capelle on List Admiral Edward Charles Ernest von Capelle, the German minister of marine succeeding von Tirpitz, is the cabinet member who faces arraignment for restricted submarine warfare. He is held responsible not only for the policy of general Uboat activity, but for the atrocities practiced by their commanders. He is of plebian birth, and achieved his high post because con Tirpitz found him an apt and industrious pupil. His father was a manufacturer at Celle, in Hanover, and claimed Huguenot descent; and the son was not raised to the nobility until 1912, after he had demonstrated to the then Kaiser his prospective usefulness. The administration of von Capelle was premised on the success of Uboat warfare, and Its failure, with the attempted revolt in 1917 of crews at Wilhelmshaven, caused his downfall.

While he was minister he gave out many boastful statements of the success of the U-boats, and repeatedly asserted that England was being starved. Field Marshal August van Mackensen la charged with thefts. Incendiarism and executions in his spectacular onslaught into Rumania in 1916. He seized vast stocks of grain, a million head of cattle, two million sheep and goats, a third of a million pigs, and j 69,000,000 marks In gold. His men set the torch to Rumanian villages, ! and are said to have ehot down Ru

manian prisoners solely for terrorization. Most Pitiless German. To his admirers, von Mackensen was known as "The Sphinx." He was regarded as the most pitiless of the Germans in high command. He had served In the war of 1870 against

France, and then had retired for three years to practice law, but he found that too tame and re-entered the army. He was practically unknown, even in Germany, until he undertook to command the campaign against the Russians, early in 1915; but his spectacular victories over an enemy almost unarmed made him an idol at home. Then he was commissioned successively to overrun the little nations of Serbia and Rumania, anad his successes there fixed him the more firmly in favor at Berlin. It is not recorded that he ever whipped an enemy of his size, but his cruelties, his cynicism, and the practices of his troops against the homes and the people of Rumania in paraticular, gained for him an undesirable distinction abroad. The capature of Mackensen was a fitting conclusion to a career which seems always to have been a grandstand play. He had required 170.000 men to keep the Rumanians in subjection, and when the Austro-Hungar-ian government made its peace with Italy he sought to withdraw these troops through Hungary. This was contrary to the terms of the treaty; Hungary could not permit the passage of German troops. And so this leader

whom the Germans had praised as a master strategest and conqueror,

was interned" in Hungary with his whole army, just as though all of them were unarmed enemy aliens! Field Marhall von Mackensen is seventy years old. He and Hindenburg are the only holders of the grand cross of the iron cross. His age may protect him from extremely severe punishment. Von Below an Incendiary Gen. Otto von Below is charged with the burning of Ardenne and the shooting of 100 persons. He served in Russia, then made an ineffectual effort to save Monastir, and later led the Austro-German forces In the offensive against the Italians along the Isonzo in October, 1917. In congratulation of the success of that campaign. General von Below received the following characteristic message of felicitation from the kaiser: Our faithless former ally has experienced what German strength and German wrath can accomplish. With me, the fatherland thanks its incomparable Bons. Forward with Gottl In the following winter General

von Below was transferred to the command of the German armies on the French front, and was In the Bapaume secor part of the time, then south of the Aisne. In 1918 he was in charge east of Arras, and was credited with being one of the ablest of the German commanders. Later he was shifted again to the Alps, with 126,000 reinforcements for the Austrians, and was put in command against the Italians In an effort to save the situation there. Other German leaders who probably will be required to face trial are Baron von der Lancken, head of the German political department in Brussels during the war, who might have saved Ediih Cavell and Captain Fryatt, but refused; Commanders Valentiner and von Forstner and Lieutenant Werner, U-boat pirates; General Llman von Landers, head of GermanTurkish forces in Asia Minor, who acquiesced in the Armenian massacres, and General Baron Kurt von Manteuffel, who was military commander of Louvain when Miss Cavell was slain, and is held jointly responsible with Baron von der Lancken for her death.
