 Amsterdam, Oct. 29.--Nothing ex- rept the abdication of the German emperor or the retirement of Field Marshal von Hindenburg could have struck the German public imagina- Htion more forcibly than the resigna- < tion of the popular idol in Germany, General Ludendorff. As the Vor- waerts of Berlin, the German social < list organ, puts it, the resignation of Ludendorff means that the military .element in Germany hence forth is divested of political influence.
 The Vorwaerts, which has no re- grets for the departing army lead- Ter, says: What has happened was bound to happen, even if Germany had won. The German social democ- raey was determined not to permit a German victory being turned into a victory under the old system"
 The newspaper hints darkly that much more in the same direction yet remains to be done."
 Theodor Wolff in Tageblatt, re- lates at length the history of the past few days. He declares it was Lu- dendorff who was at the back of the armistice proposal, but afterwards recanted because he objected to con- stitutional changes involving the subordination of the military to the civil authorities. Then, says Wolff followed Hindenburg's telegram to the effect that the army rejected President Wilson's demands for ca- pltulation. This was the signal for general onslaught by the Pan-G Ger man organs upon the government, put the government stood firm and Chancellor Maximilian of Baden, rom sick bed, gave clear instruc- tlons that there was to be no surren- uer to military dictation, with the result te that Ludendorff departed Gin nigh dudgeon."
 The Dictator Falls.
 Herr Wolff devotes a long article 1o the departed army chief who, he says ruled Germany for two years ske a dictator. For Ludendorff's lail' he planes Ludendorff's domi- aeerlng personality and overween- thing. M
 Nothing" says Wolff. "could be aone Tn Germany without his sane Avn, His interference extended ab- 1.,0.y 0o,aIely to everything. Whenever pOnelcal affairs had to be settled, -uaendorff was there."
