General Ludendorrr was reported to
have been the originator OF the plan
OF the Germans offensive OF 1918. The
plan called for offensive operations on
tho western front which would split
the British and French armies and
compel the allies TO beg for peace be-
fore the strength OF the American army
could be available TO any. great cx-
tent. II was planned that IL tho often
sire failed. then Germany would resort
TO diplomatic campaign in order to
obtain peace.
Since the death of the German omen
sirc and the successful offensive of
Marshal Foch, reports from Germany
have been &c the effect thar Ludendorfr
and Won HindenburE were losing their
popularity in Germany. both because
peace did not result from the German
attacks and because of the heavy casu-
alties suffered by the Germans. As first
quartermaster-g general, General l.uden-
dorm was responsible for the official
statements issued from German general
headquarters. He is the man who has
