LUDENDORFF, DEFEATED IS
LOSING POPULARITY
(By Newspaper Enterprise ASSN

ny newspaper Enterprise ASS NJ
Paris, France. Oct. 19.-The great
Ludendorff is slipping. AS an idol his
stock is on the toboggan. Even the
newspapers in Germany have plucked
up courage to include him in the List
Of Reasons Why Germany Is Losing"
They admit that he guessed wrong"
Here are four reasons which one
Berlin paper gives for the Hun re-
verses:
4. That German great headquarters
greatly underestimated the reserves OF
Marshal Foch.
2. That German reserves themselves
have been considerably weakened by
their strenuous attempts to break
through last spring.
3. That Ludendorff erred in thinking
it not necessary to build impregnable
defenses.
T. That the morale of the German
troops has been weakened. owing to
bad influences from the rear.
Neutral papers comment on the Ger
man reasons" as probably marking the
beginning OF the end OF Ludendorff
They ypoint out to the gradual lesson
ing OF Hindenburg's popularity and his
eventual oblivion. They think Luden-
dorff Is riding the same road.
The German newspaper apolosists
say Ludendorff thought open fighting
would continue. making it unnecessary
for him to build strong defenses ION

ROUMANIANS ASK FOR
THEIR COMPLETE LIBERATION

Washington, Oct i9-Alarmed al
| the prospective fate of their fellow
countrymen in Pennsylvania when dis
solution of the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire vcomes, the Roumanian National
League of America today issued the
following statement from its head
quarters in Washington:
THE Roumanian National League
of America, having in view renewed
efforts of the Hungarians to falsiiy
history and truth so as to be able TO
continue even after the now inevitable
downfall of the Austro- Hungarian
dualiSm to Cypress the Roumanians,
SlovakS and Serbs OF Hungary, pro-
tests with all its energy against dese
attempts TO hoodwink the good faith
Of the democracies of the world.
1T also calls attention of the Am
erican people to the cynicism exhibit
ed by the leading Ragyar circles in
proposing to appoint as delegates to
the future peace conference Count
Apponyi, the most ferocious tyrant
of the subject races of Hungary and
the too famous author of the law
bearing his name which closed 2,975
Roumanian schools.
The Roumanians Of America, all
natives of the Austro-Hnngarian en-
ire, see no other possible betterment
OF the situation OF the 100000 Rou-
manians living under the Austrian
and Hungarian yoke than their COM
plete liberation and their union with
their brethern OF Roumania.
This is the only solution that
would fulfill their legitimate expecta-
tions and be in accord with the noble
principles of justice and national
declaration for the realization of
which this great republic is fighting"
