 HE VAS FUR PEACE

COPENHAGEN. Feb. 2S-A dis ratch from Berlin quotes an interview with General Budendorff. former first quartcrmastcr general of the German army in which he repeats statements that he desired peace on the basis of the status quo both in 1917 and in 1918.
 Ludendorff is reported to have said that events in August of last year showed that the value of some units in the German army had appreciated and that an improvement was not to be expected in view of the fact that the war had broken the will of the people at home Afterwards the ground had become shaky. said Ludendorff and he informed the government that it was no longer possible to make Germany's enemies desire peace by means of war and that the warfare should be ended quickly
 After the collapse of Bulgaria. ac- cordinS to the interview Ludendorff demanded that the German govern ment make an offer of peace, but he added that 1t was q mistake to say that he demanded an armistice within 24 hours. Ludendorff dwelt on the kaiScrs love of peare@ in the inter view. He said that the emperor was kept informed of the entire situation and after August. recognized that the war could not be won by Germany. LudendOrff denied reports of dissen- ton between the emperor and the crown prince. He said the crown prince often spoke of peace by an under standing. Ludendorff said he was will ing that his actions should be tried before any unprejudiced man of con- mon sense.

 Mfr. Davison emphasized that while the continued efforts Of he Red Cross in Belgium.
