Says LudendOrf
Blocked Peace
Continued from PAGE One

Continued from PAGE One
only head of an Allied Power who did
not appear to have this in mind. EN-
peror William could not bring himself
to yield Alsace and Lorraine.
Regarding Emperor William, I feel
that he did not want the war, but he
did not know how to get out Of II. In
this, l believe, the heads of the Entente
Powers are wrong, for they probably
believe he caused the struggle. I was
minister to Rumania when the war be-
gan, and i honestly believe that no one
wanted hostilties to begin have the
impression that neither Emperor Francis
Joseph, Emperor William nor their min
listers wanted war l might explain the
fact that war was started by saying
that there was too much diplomatic
bluff1ng, with every one looking for
the other fellow to recede from his
position.
Every way to get out of tho war
was tried by us excepting war with
Germany. When one considers how
much weaker than Germany we were
he can see how impossible It was for
me to dictate terms. Now, IL President
Wilson finds 1t difficult to impress his
Views on the Entente, how was it pos
sible for man like me to do anything
with Germany?
II hope that an agreement to disarm
will be reached. President Wilson Is
the man who is able to bring this
about. believe his plan for q league
OF nations Is feasible and would solve
the whole problem
Il have shown In public addresses
why power to punish any nation resort
ing to arms is the only way to keep the
peace. signed the peace trsaty of
Brest-Litovsk, but we got nothing from
It, This fact is worthy of mention. 1t
was Ludendorff who forced DR.. Rich
ard Won Kuehlmann, the German For
eign Secretary, to make that peace. We
occupied the southern end of the line,
whereas Germany had her troops against
the line on the north. General Hoff-
mann then declared he would move on
Petrograd If Leon Trotsky, the Bolshe-
vik Foreign Minister, did not sign the
treaty.
Doctor Won Kuehlmann and I had
hoped to make peace with Russia on the
basis of President Wilson's principles,
but Ludendorff always telegraphed No
to our proposals. l worked day and
night to bring Doctor Won Kuehlmann
and Trotsky together. At the last mo-
ment the later sent his famous telegram
to the world demanding that the Ger
man people revolt and destroy their
Government. This telegram inflamed
Berlin, which denounced Trotsky as a
man with whom it would not treat.
Then Trotsky was informed that the
German troops would occupy Courland
and Lithuania and would advance on
Petrograd."

Cologne, Dec. delayed.
At midday yesterday, that is. Fri.
day, December 6, our first cavalry
patrols entered Cologne and, riding
to the swing bridge, which has re.
placed the old bridge of boats, were
the first British soldiers to reach the
Rhine. This morning one sentry lad
Of the Eighteenth Hussars was posted
on the town side Of the bridge and
another on the other side opposite the
village of Deutz famous as far back as
Roman times as the bridgehead of Co
logne. Facing him on that side was
a German sentry in uniform bearing
arms, the last of the rear guard OF
the German army.
l walked on the bridge this morn
ing and, leaning over it, looked down
the waters OF, the Rhine, and eAen
then could hardly believe that we were
there and had reached that goal which
used to be spoken Of as n grim jest
in the dugouts near Ypres and on
the Somme, when it seemed easier to
get to heaven than to this German
river and this was so to many thou
sands of our men three months ago.
I went into Bapaume on the morning
Of its capture and even then the IDEA
that we should be on tho Rhine to-
day would have seemed q fantastic
vision. But there this morning were
our Hussars with our sentries keeping
guard and down below the bridges
on the wayside some of our men were
cleaning their machine guns in the
center of a German crowd, and in
the streets were some OF our armored
cars, at which the people of Cologne
stared from tram.cars and sidewalks.
People Not Unfriendly
The young Hussar pacing the bridge
looked lonely among all those Ger.
man civilians about him, looking at
his kit and giving him side look glances
as they passed. One Of my friends
spoke to him and asked how he was
getting on.
"The people are not unfriendly," he
