LUDENDORFF'S
PLAN EXPOSED
Gen. Sir Frederick Mau-
rice Analyses Failure
Of General.

London. Oct. 10.-General Sir
Frederick Maurice, who has now
Joined the stan OF the Daily News.
in discussing the military situation
on the Western front in that paper
points out that Ludendorff's plan
was to fall back slowly on the Sies-
fried system. and by the time the
weather broke to be completely es-
tablished in his well-built lines,
while we were left in the devastated
area of the Somms battlefields- He
continues: This plan has been de-
feated mainly by Sir Douglas Haig's
generalship. and the superb fighting
OF the British army. In the battles
of August 8, Of Bapaume at the end
of August. and OF the Drocourt
Switch on September 2, the enemy
was forced to fight. not with rear
guards, but with his main forces.
He was hustled into his Siegfried
system before he was ready to go
back. and had to fight desperately
hard in his attempts to hold on to
IL. and has again been defeated and
driven out OF it. His one attempt
to shorten his front in the south
was anticipated and defeated by
General Pershing just as Sir Doug
las Haig anticipated. and defeated
him on the Somme-"
No Economics Earned.
The broad result OF all this pro-
tracted fighting has thus been that,
so far from effecting economies by
his withdrawals, the enemy has been
Obliged to expend men at a greater
rate than ever. and the crisis in his
man power has gone from bad to
worse.
II calculate that. since the second
battle of the Mnrne, the Germans
have lost 10000 prisoners, have suf-
fered casualties amounting to about
100000, and, as they have been un-
able to make, good these enormous
losses, they have had to reduce their
establishments on the Western front
by not less than 10000 men.
During this same period the allied
strength on the Western front has
been growing steadily as more and
more American troops have come
into the field. So the balance Of mill
tary power in the West Is changing
very rapidly in our favor. This Is
the main fact to keep in mind In
considering the military situation In
the West. It f. Of more Importance
. than the piercing OF the enemy 5
strongest defenses or the recapture
of great towns. The enemy's COM
rnftments in the West are greater
than he can meet, and he must re-
dr,re them"

But when one took closeup at him it. was very ap- parent that he had only q buck pri- Vate's uniform. Without any ado he was forthwith given the order to for ward march" and he hiked right over to Commercial street. There he was given private room No ,.

 The pass he produced was issued at Fort Slocum and gave him liberty be- tween the hours of 4.3o p. m. and a. n1 Immediately the military au- thorities at Fort Slocum were noti- fled and Private Gill was locked up. At the same time his vision of a dinner party with a, pal and friend" disa ppeared.

BUILDING RESTRICTIONS
Not Be Readily Granted in the Flu

Building Inspector Arthur x. Ru~ therford is in receipt of a communi~ cation from the district committee Cn capital issues in relation to new build ing operations. The notice states that the war industries board will not grant priority orders on building materials for non-war construction work The letter suggests that applications be referred to the board before action is taken.
 The board consists of authorized representatives of agencies connecteT with war industries and supplies. The action has been taken because it has come to the notice of the government that certain public building and other improvements are content plated, which work will not contribute toward winning the war. This work will in volve the utiliza ton of labor. material and capital otherwise required for war purposes. New undertakings not es- sential to or contributing to the win ming of the war. directly or indirectly, should be discoura ged. To that end the board will withhold from such projects the priority assistance.
 Permits hereafter granted will first be transmitted to this board.
