Unknown Until 1914,

Copenhagen, Oct. 28.--In the resig-
nation of General Ludendorff Ger
many loses what often has been de-
scribed as her military brain
Unknown before the war, General
Enrich Ludendorff sprang into promi-
nence in the fall of 1914 as chief of
staff to Field Marshal Won linden
burg, then a general, in the opera
tons against the Russians. When
Won Hindenburg received the chief
command in August, 1916, Ludendortt
was appointed first quartermaster
general, but his position in reality has
been chief of staff and collaboration
with Won Hindenburg.
Soon after his appointment as first
quartermaster general LudendOrff be-
gan to be looked upon as the real
boss of Germany, and was recog-
nized as the representative of the Pan
Germans at Great Headquarters. 1T
was Ludendorff who brought about
the retirement of Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H ollweg, and he was re-
puted to have been responsible for the
appointment to the chancellorship of
Michaelis and Won Hertlingr both of
whom were described as stopgaps.
The generals rule as first quarter
master-general has almost amounted
to military dictatorship.
Geenral Ludendorff was reported to
have been the originator Of the plan
of the German offensive of 1918. The
plan called for offensive operations on
the 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
extent. 1t was planned that If the

that all in the house surrender. The
response was another volley from the
road house windows.
Lieut.. Hamlin ordered his men to
surround the house. He went to a
window, smashed the blinds off and
broke the glass. Pushing his revolv-
er into the room, he repeated his de-
mand. The inmates, who had gone
upstairs, refused to come out
The soldiers then rushed the house,
smashing in the front door. They
went through the rooms covering men
and women with revolvers. Evidently
frightened by this quick action, the
inmates made no further resistance
