LUDsNDoRFF.

Ludendorff has quit cold. He is the
military genius of Germany produced
by this war as Won Moltke was pro-
duced in the previous war with France.
Ludendorff was the new Moltke the

a keen military mind, complete agree

bloody ruthless in war policy, super
man" from the middle class out-Herod-
ing the Herods of aristocracy.
1t was Ludendorff who organized
Germany for effective war work. 1t
was his word and according to his plans
that industrial, agricultural and social
Germany was formed into one mighty
machine to produce munitions and food
and the entire labor of the country was
modified for the war.
He it was who planned the great Of
fensive Of this spring, the push that
was TO divide the allied armies and end
with Paris and the channel ports. There
is no doubt that the German people ac-
cepted without question the assurances
of the military that the drive would
succeed and foresaw a triumphant end
to the war. The disappointment of the
army and citizenry may be imagined
better than described when defeat came
and retreat took the place of advance
Ludendorff saw the fabric OF his fame
dissolve in the mists of the Marine
where that of Won Falkenhayn had
faded and Germany saw herself defeat
ed and conquered.
Ludendorf, wolf of war that he is,
would die fighting in the last ditch
Germany. however seems to have come
to different conclusion. The resigna-
ton Of Ludendorf is one Of the surest
signs that Germany is ready to make
the best terms possible.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The common sense OF the situation
leads to the conclusion that the activi-
ties of our country in this war will
be better promoted by the election Of
the republican candidates for the SEN
ate and house" says the Burlington
Hawkeye. 1t will be positive assur-
ance that the war will be carried to
successful conclusion and that the
idealists and pacifists and narrow
minded partisans will not be permitted
TO rob the country of its just reward
for the tremendous sacrifices that have
been made in behalf of liberty and self
government"

well as the republicans at home in all

A New Cabinet Officer.

England has learned administra-
tive experiments by a succession of
failures that would have staggered
almost any other nation. She has
changed cabinet officers, changed
war lords and naval heads. She has
invented new policies of labor and
discovered that the department
which will undoubtedly prove to be
one of the most important, if not
the most important one to bring
the war to a successful conclusion
must be carried on under one head.
That is the department of aero
nautics. In this country we are
learning by experience where we
ought to have learned by precept,
Aviation is a brand-new art which
has sprung up during the war. 1t
cannot be compared to the navy.
with its different units: it canno,
be compared to the army, with its
different departments. 1t is sui
generis. For the army to manage
aviation is to presume the miracle
OF accomplishment. For the navy
to do so would be the same thing.
England found that it would not
work. 1t is absolutely logical that
this great new branch of service,
growing daily in Importance by
leaps and strides, should command
department by itself.-Thomas F.
