Speaking of the troubles and prob

Kitty Tandy, daughter of City Com

est difficulty is with the hayward ten
denotes of some of the young girls near
the training camp at Funston. Miss
Tandy is in charge of the work of the
homo service section work at Junction

often called upon to snatch some
brand from the burning, gently correct
the erring and set the young feet on
the straight and narrow path. In adj
dition. and this most often. Miss Tandy
says that the mothers of the sturdy
fighting men in training at Funston
deluge her with innumerable calls for
aid and overnight accommodations.
The soldiers too, she says. find the aid

SOME FACTS ABOUT
LUDEND0RFF FROM
INSIDE GERMANY

Ludendorff is Gerlnany's man of mys-
terry, the grim. inscrutahle, silent man
whose picture is on sale in every shop,
whose name is in every mouth but whose
real personality is hidden even from his
own countrymen.
Ludendorff is FIindenburg's indispens-
able righr-hand man. When Hindenburg
took command on the east front in mid
August, 1914( LudendorR was rushed from
Liege, where he had led the first brigade
to enter the conquered city, in a special
train all the way across Luxembourg and
the Rhineland across Hanover and the
Mark of Brandenburg to Hindenburg's
headquarters on the eastern frontier. He
became Hindenburg's Generalstabchef-
chief of his general staff.
Since then the two have been insep-
arabic When Hindenburg became chief
of the great general staff, commanding all
the armies of Gefmany-and as things
stand today that comes near to meaning
commanding all the combined German,
A ustro-Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Turk
ish armies-in September, Ludendorff
went with him. He succeeded General
Won tag-Loringhoven as first quarter
master general, Freytag succeeding
Moltke, the former chief of the grand gen
erai staff as chief of the supplementary
general staff.
There are those who say that Luden-
dorff is Hindenburg's brain, and that
Hindenburg's successes have been planned
by his silent. retiring assistant. Hin
denburg, when in the mood, becomes very
talkative and chatty, ana at such times
