LUDENDoRFF LEANS ON A REED

Field Marshal Ludendorff, thorough
ly Prussian, dismisses America as a
factor in the ultimate decision of the
war;. In doing so he pits the German
Twill to win" against the Twill to an
nihilate'' of the allies and reckons on
the instability of the Americans This
attitude is S typical of the entire
course of junkerdom that it might be
dismissed without serious or extensive
consideration. The military leaders of
Germany planned to avoid any inter
ference in the war on the part of
America, to be accomplished by fac
tional divisions among our people, says
Omaha Bee. This failed, but its fail
ure has taught the Potsdam plotters
no lesson. In their purblindness they
cannot conceive, much less compre-
bend, the spirit that has brought us
into the war. MaterialiSts in all they
do, they have no thought of fighting to
sustain an ideal and refuse to credit
Americans with having entered the
conflict for any reason more noble or
worthy than the sordid considerations
that animate the Germans. In meas
uring his opponents by his own stand
ard, Ludendorff is preparing for even
greater disappointment than he has
yet endured. He is leaning on a reed
when he banks on success to be
achieved by reason of failure of Amer
leans to be steadfast in the great job.
