Falling Miitarism
Berne. Oct. 2S-~Tho resignation
Of General ven Ludendorrt has caus-
ell sensation throughout Swiizor
land and the Central Empires. and is
commented on Us a sign that Ger
man militarism is really abdlcating
Among the German and Austrian
peoples anger and ind gnation is in
ereasing over the fact that the mill
tary situation has been so long con
oealed or wrongly presented.
Brains OF Army
In the resignation OF General Lud
endorff. Germany losses what often
has been described as her military
brain.
Unknown before the war. General
Erich Ludendorn sprang into prom
inenee in the fall of 1911 as chief of
staff TO Field Marshal Won linden,
burg. then general in the opera
tons against the Russians. When
Won Hindenburg was given the chief
command in August 1916. Luden-
dorff was appointed first quarter
master General but his position in
reality has been chief of staff and
collaboration with Won Hindenburg,
Soon after his appointment as FIRST
guartermaster general. Ludendorff
began to be looked upon as the real
boss Of Germany and was recog.
nized as the representative OF the
Pan.Germans at Great Headquarters
II was Ludendorff who brought about
the retirement of Chancellor Won
Bethman-Hollweg and he was reput-
ed to have been responsible for the
appointment to the Chancellorship
of Michaeis and Won Hertlng, both
of whom were described as stop
gaps. The Generals rule as first
quartermaster general has almost
amounted TO military dictatorship.
Planned Offensive
General Ludendorff was reported
TO have been the originator of the
plan of the German offensive in
1918. The plan called for offensive
operations on the western front
which would split the British and
French Armies and compel the Al,
lies to beg for peace before the
strength of the American army could
be available to any great extent ! It
was planned that If the offensive
failed then Germany would resort to
Ia diplomatic campaigning to obtain
peace.
Since the death Of the German of
|fensive and the successful offensive
OF Marshal Foch reports from Ger
many have been to the effect that
Ludendorlf and Won Hindenburg
we're losing their popularity in Ger
many, both because peace did not
result from the German attacks and
because of the heavy casualties suf-
fered by the Germans.
AS first quartermaster general,
General Ludendorff was responsible

Private Axcl Gahnberg Writes That
En- Route to Europe He Was
Hungry All the Time.

Axel Gahnberg. Of this city, enlisted
in the Eighth Battalion of the Army
Medical Corps, now with the American
Expeditionary Forces, recently ar
rived overseas, has written to his
mother telling her of the trip across
and his first impressions of Europe.
Writing on April 4, Private Calm
berg states that the trip across the
ocean was none too pleasant, because
only two meals a day were served on
the boat, and this found him hungry
most Of the time. His appetite was
further sharpened, he writes, by the
fact that at Zach table there was only
one tin of each thing, and those at
one end of the table took more than
their share leaving but little for those
at the other end.
The climate is damp and chilly, the
young soldier writes, but what he
misses most is American candy, and
he looks forward with pleasant anti
cipation to the time when the COM
pany canteen is opened. At the camp
where he is located at present are a
lot Of German prisoners of war en-
gagged in cutting wood, and their life,

stay" The people are all dressed
alike and it is hard to tell an 1S-year-
old girl from an old woman, as they
all wear 18th century costumes.

GERMANS WOUND THEMSELVES.

The Hague, April 24.-In view Of
the fact that the Germans are trying
to create the impression that Amerl-
can troops at the front lack courage
and that some have committed suicide
to avoid going into the trenches. in
teresting testimony is given by
traveller, who has seen Red Cross
trains passing through Aachen from
the great offensive. He states that
hundreds of German soldiers have
been wounded in the left hand, and
that these wounds seem to have been
self-inf1icted with rifles in order that
they may not have to go to the front.
The traveller says that there are 5000
to 5000 wounded men in Aachen and
that 500 or 500 pass through daily.
The lightly wounded are we'll cared
for, but those who are severely
wounded are transported to the other
end of Germany, often dying on their
long journey.
