Copenhagen, Oct. 2T-Gen. Luden-
dorff. first quartermaster general OF
the German army, has resigned says
q telegram from Berlin. In accept
ing his resignation the Emperor has
decreed that the lower Rhenish in
fantry regiment No. SO of which Gen.
Lndendorff has long been command
err, shall bear his name.
In the resignation of Gen. Luden-
dorff Germany loses what has often
been described as her Military
BRAIN"
Unknown before the war. Gen. Luz
Gendorff sprang into prominence in
the fall of 1914 as chief of staff to
field marshal Won Hindenburg. then
4 general, in the operations against
the Russians. When Won Hinden-
burg was given the chief command
in august. 1916. Ludendorff was ap-
pointed first quartermaster general,
but his position in reality has been
chief of staff and collaboration with
Won Hindenburg.
Soon after his appointment as first
quarterma ster- general, Ludendorff
began to be looked upon as the real
Boss" Of Germany and was recog-
nizel as the representative of the
pan Germans at Great headquarters.
1t was Ludendorff who brought
about the retirement Of Chancellor
Won Bethmann Ho!lweg and he was
reprted to have been responsible for
the appointment to the chancellor
ship Of Michaelis and Won Hertling,
both of whom We're described as stop
gaps. The generals rule as first
quartz rmaster general has almost
amounted to military dictatorship.
Gen. Ludendorff was reported to
have been the organizer of the Ger
man offensive of 1918. The plan call
ed for offensive operations on the
western front which would split the
British and French armies and COM
pei the allies to beg for peace before
the strength of the American army
could be felt to any great extent. 1t
was planned that If the offensive fail
ed then Germany would resort to
diplomatic campaign in order to ob-
tain peace.
Since the defeat of the German Of

Remarkable Record American
Army. in First Big Operation
In Less Than Months Time

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct 26-By the
Associated Press)-In its first major
operation against the Germans. con-
sidering the clearing out Of the St.
Mihiel salient as local affair, the
American army in a few days less
than month has liberated more
than As villag(s and advanced to an
average depth of ten miles, freeing
1s5 square miles of territory. In the
offensive the Americans have cap
tured more than 10000 prisoners.
The Americans attacked on a front
of 20 miles from the Argonne to the
Mouse and the advance has been
made in the face of almost insur-
mountable difficulties due principally
to the nature of the ground which is
covered with hills, deep ravines and
woods. In addition the Americans
had fronting them four organized
systems of trenches-the Hindenburg
line, the Hagan position, the Volker
position, and the kriembilde posi-
tions.
They have forced their way
through all these lines. Ahead Of
them lies Freya. Il position which has
been reached at one point in the re-
gion of the Bantheville wood.
The advance has been particular
ly difficult because the Germans have
resisted every foot Of the way and
have used more than 3S divisions on
the 2O-mile front. The enemy contin-
ues TO make formidable effort to
hold this front in order to protect
his great lateral lines of communi-
cation running through Hirson. Me-
zieres, Sedan, Montmedy and Lon
guynn. This line already is threat
ened and should the Germans lose 1t
