CHEAP HOMES FOR SOLDIERS

Care for the soldier included not only provision fGS the dependents and the disabled, Nut also arrangements for insuring economic security after the war for the sound men who wished to work That was a duty of the state and the people at home toward the class that had unselfishly done SC much for them.
 Soldiers ought to have been given cheap houses and cheap land with pro- prietary rights. in which speculation should have been forbidden to come in.

HIS FUND LOST ITS NAME

But l wanted to do something more personal than that fund for the disabled was started in May. 1918, in which l collaborated and which at that time was called afte> me The Luden- dorff fund was a br ,iliant success. II was originated by an enthusiastic Ger man lady. Fraulein Emma Tscheusch- ner. who was most energetically as- sisted in her great work by Director Henrich; and it raised far more than 15O.00O, 900 marks tsSS.000000). a hith- erto unequaled result
 During the revo ution it was re- named the national fund" Did the national delegates and the first gov ernment of the German republic object to my, name being connected with a charitable ii'ssitution which, mainly on account of my name had brought in such great sums, and by which so many disabled men are benefited?
 I leave this action to be judged by humanity. and by the disabled who en- joy we'll earrad benefits from the "Lu- dendorff fund" should they ever hear my name.
 What has happened to the fund un- der it's new name I do not know in detail It is not in accordance with my ideas that advances have been made from it to take the place os state aid. That was not the intention. wanted to help, and it goes through me like a knife to see disa abled sol diers. who are unable to earn 8 living going begging. Thut also. however passes for gxxtituee and the national sense of duty
 It seemed to me particularly im- portant branch of the care of the dis abled to discover how brave men who had lost limbs could be re-educated so sto recover their joy in life and work, and thus be reinstated in their former surroundings and given back to the country. All endeavors toward this ob- ject, as well as the progress made in the manufacture of artificial limbs, followed with active interest

ARMY STILL DISSATISFIED

Even after patriotic instruction was in- stituted 1 continued to receive reports from the army headquarters as to the spirit and feeling of the army ,sand made use of every opportunity of obtaining an insight into it's state of mind
 The soldier was particularly concerned about his future after the war. This was natural, considering the economic condi- tions d home, the ever increasing selfish ness ard the profiteering While [ was still chief of staff to the commander-tn- chief ia the east, at time when condi- uons at home had not vet become acute, had. by means of communications to the army newspapers, endeavored to inform the troops of what was being done for dis able1 men and for dependents.
 took much interest in these ques- tions. and observed with regret that the people at home showed less and less grati- tude toward tn disabld, and that the feel ings of the latter were very often not adequately considered. The question was one that concerned the whole German peo- pie, and should not have been exploited for party purposes.
 The care for the soldier and for the dependents of the fallen was to me of vital importance, It could best be assured by final victory, which alone would place it upon sound foundation.

WAR ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

The attack on private property was one of the abomnations of this war. In iS70-n Germans had been deported fr0T France, an action which was at the time considered special offense against in ternationaI law, but France had left thei: private property untouched. Very soor after this war began England had pro- ceeded to liquidate German business, and by so doing had made plain why it had joined in the war. It wanted to remove the inconVenient German competition throughout the world, and it's example was followed by the other powers of the entente.
 The Black Lists served the same pur- pose; they were also intended partly to increase the severity of the blockade They caused the greatest suffring among the neutral countries, who-said nothing The war of nations produced even greater abominations.
 It seemed to me necessary that the highest military and civil authorities

This, of course. could only be effected very gradually. and should not involve barshness to the original owner nor loss of his rights.
 l was much impressed by the opin- ions of the land reformer. Mir Da- maschke. on the need for reducing the cost of housing. especially for the working classes and for excluding profiteering. and also by his historical treatment of the subject. The infor- nation he gave abobt the scarcity of houses after the war of 1S7O-71 seemed to me of the greatest importance. c. H. Q. approached the imperial chan cellor. pointed out the influence of tho l housing question on the after-effects of the war as regards national recu- peration. and requested him to bring na bill 10 safeguard the rights and properties of soldiers.

ABSORB ALSACE-LORRAINE

Another prSseem which occupied me in the summer of 1917 was that of Alsace-Lorraine. G. H. Q. could, of course, approach it only from that point of view which it was it's duty to represent. namely, the military one.
 The impression I had gained as a brigade commander at Strassburg, and the many sad experiences of this war relating to Alsace-Lorraine, had fully convinced me that its position as inn uperial territory (Reichsland) was an anomally which did not accord with the interests o2 the inhabitants. There was far too much meddling in its af- fairs by the Reichstag. The policy fol- lowed was weak ani ill-defined, and could not satisfy anybody.
 I strove for union of the country with Prussia. which by no means in- volved "Prussianizing' it's inhabitants. Prussia had absorbed the Rhine prov ince. of which the population had re- tained it's typical character and de- veloped vigorously; why should not the same path lead to the happiness of the people of Alsace-L Lorraine, who are by character and economic conditions closely allied to Germany?
 Other solutions also seemed possible.

WANTED GERMAN CLERGY

From the military point of view I ex- pressed the opinion that the granting of autonomy was the least satisfactory SO lution. But whichever one was to be adopted, the fundamental principle was really to oppose the unjustifiabe French influence and to replace it by the Ger man; in my view this involved the em- ployment of German clergy and civil of ficials.
 The clergy was still recruited from French institutions. as also were some bodies of sisters and female teachers This was really scandalous. Was no; Germany just as well able to provide clergy and teachersss The civil officials ought also to have been imbued with German feeling.
 There was no need to select the noto- r;ous East Elbians," who had done so much for Germauy's greatness, bu, whose natural hardness might possibly render them unsuitable for Alsace-Lor- raine. The ~Rhine province and south Germany could meet the demand.
 Finally French property in Alsace- Lorraine ought to be transferred to Ger man possession, transaction which the entente had declared to be in accord ance with the usage of war. In this way we should also acquire land for settling German soldiers

COLONIES IN INVADED LANDS

After the war l wanted to bring in a contented generation. capable of self-defense. In the Baltic littoral l wanted to create a settlement area for soldiers, and for the large number of Germans who were expected to re. emigrate f<Sm Russla. The vast un, inhabited and untitled areas in those parts provided room for German set dement's without crowding the in habitants.
 Alsace-Lorraine also was to be used for settlements. and in this way this ancient German territory would at last regain it's German character.
 wide field of labor of the greatest national importance was before us General Hahndorff took Up these ques- tions in a far-sighted manner Co., operative settlement companies as- sisted by the most experienced men in Germany, were started and set to work at once. At that time people got wildly excited about the settlement companies
 The soundness of the fundamental idea was proved later. One of the first measures of the republican govern ment was to draft settlement law. of which the guiding rlnciples were taken from the edicts for Courland drafted by Professor Ludwig Bernhard on behalf of G. H. e. Its practical ap- plication is now impossible owing to the extraordinary rise in prices and to the difficulty in obtaining building ma terials. In the matter, also of helping the war victims, the revolutionists have water down the original schemes. they have taken instead of givenu. Money has been wasted. but the de- serving soldier got none of 1t.
 We also provided for the students and advanced schoolboys who were on active service, and whose future be- came more and more preearious as time went on. I hoped that the assistance afforded to them would prove of spe- cial benefit to the country. The Prus- sian minister of educa tion. Dr. Schmidt. felt strongly on this subject and took the lead in the work
