LIGHT FROM LUDENDORFF.

According to Ludendorff's history
of the war. written mostly for Ger
man readers, he desired to rush vic.
tory before many Americans got
across the ocean, but was amazed to
find that more of them crossed than
he ever expected. However, the sore
old soldier only incidentally mentions
United States troops now and then,
except to say that in one engagement
a second class German division ham
mered some Americans. In the nota-
BILE hit made by the Americans, when
they started the boche homeward,
there was scarcely reference to any
but French forces.
Ludendorff continues to be inter-
esting, not so much by what he says
of the allies, but because of reveal
tons Of the character of German mill
tary ruthlessness toward their own
people and all others.
The story is filled with criticism of
Wv PNOpiV wiz pC1dlhb ulSIOuIuBeu
under privations despite the false
hoods he kept sending out to deceive
them into bucking up. But never a
line tells of any sympathy he had for
them or for the soldiers. His wrath
extended even to the chancellor and
parliament for showing concern and
desire for peace. He would have
preferred to let a million of his SOL
diers be killed rather than to have
the allies know that he was getting
the worst Of the conflict. He desired
peace with honor" an arranged sur
render without confession that the
military had been thrashed to a
finish. He wanted to claim a draw
game.

serving on committees, or exemplify-
ing the work of secret orders.
The old days when it was woman's
business solely to stay at home and
cook and sweep and obey husbands
are clearly gone forever. Most men
long ago accepted the fact, though 1t
comes hard to some. Other nations
do not yet understand the freedom
given women in America, but it is a
firmly established fact here that they
are equal partners with the men, If
the woman has more force and sense
she rules the house. and vice versa.
But in any event the man can no
longer claim any innate authority
over his wife. and look to tradition
and custom to back it up.

LEAVING WOMEN AT HOME.

The older ideals about women have
long since vanished. Reading old
newspapers, one notes many jokes
about the man who used to go out at
night to lodge or club and leave his
wife at home. Apparently the old
fashioned woman expected that. She
was content to darn stockings and
put the children to bed. while her
lord and master enjoyed himself with
the sports.
OF course he had to show modera-
ton. If he persisted in staying out
to a. m. there was domestic con,
vulsion even in those days of sub
ordination of womankind. But he
was expected to have a degree of free
dom not accorded to his better half.
But that is all gone by now. Most
of the fraternal orders for men now
have an affiliated society for women,
which gives them the same chance
for social life as is offered to men,

AN ARMY OBJECT LESSON.

| A special recruiting detachment Of
the United States army. which is now
| on a tour of the eastern and middle
states, consists of 2S men representing
IA nationalities, only one of them of
American birth. Not one Of these
men four months ago could read or
write English, Here are few of
their names: Araez. Balchunas,
Christensen. Intili, Kristopolous, My
atowich, Rossignol and Sheestak. To-
day all speak, read and write English
fairly well-astonishingl well when
their brief period of education is con-
sidered. Furthermore, they have the
appearance of first class soldiers,
alert mentally and physically. well set
up, vigorous and straightforward in
their bearing. Comparing their pub
lished photographs of four months
ago with those of today it is hard to
realize that they are the same men.
The contrast is astounding.
Could there be better object les
son to help recruiting? No doubt it
will be effective. But it will serve a
deeper purpose. 1t will help to give
all Of US a new and better conception
Of what our country is prepared to
do for those who enlist as its defend
ers. The benefits are not all to be
on one side.
There are still few citizens, here
and there. timid folk. as distinguished
from the professional trouble makers,
who fear the DOGGY of "militarism. F."
They are not exactly clear as to the |
precise perils involved. they cannot
define their fears. but they are afraid |
that the maintenance of an adequate
military establishment means in some
way the ruling Of the country by
soldier class.
The fear of trouble from unAmeri-
canized foreigners would seem to be
much more real. The army is not the
only agency which is doing great
work for Americanization at present.
but 1t Is among the most effective.
Its new policy, adopted when we last
went to war, is a radical departure
from the old rule which barred litter
ates, but it is an evidence OF progress.

On october the new cabinet
(under Prince Max of Baden, who
succeeded Count Won Hertling) had a
meeting the field marshal being pres
ent to represent CHG. he set out
again, for the benefit of the chan
cellor, in my view with absolute ac-
curacy, the views of CHIC. in a
statement running as follows:
CHG. holds to the demand made
by 1t on Monday, the 29th of Sep
TENDER of this year, for an immediate
offer of peace to the enemy,
AS result Of the collapse of the
Macedonian front. and of the weak
ening of our reserves in the west,
which this has necessitated, and in
view Of the impossibility of making
good the very heavy losses of the last
few days, there appears to be now no
possibility to the best of human judg-
ment, of winning peace from our en-
emies by force of arms.
The enemy. on the other hand, is
continually throwing new and fresh
reserves into the fight.
The German army still holds firmly
together, and beats off VIGOROUSLY all
the enemy's attacks. but the position
grows more acute day by day, and
may at any time compel as to take
desperate measures.
In these circumstances the only
right course is to give up the fight,
in order to spare useless sacrifices for
the German people and their allies.
Every day wasted costs the lives of
thousands of brave German soldiers.
Won HINDENBURG
The field marshal had added in his
own handwriting that the sole motive
of the above mentioned demand for
peace of the 29th of September was
to pave the way to the achievement
of an honorable peace.
On October 4 the field marshal re-
turned to Spa, and on the 9Th the
first note to Wilson was dispatched.
Reichstag Learns Truth About
Army and Is Shocked.
At the request of Secretary Count
Won Roedern, who had come to Spa,
and who was to carry on with the
vice chancellor the negotiations with
the parliamentary leaders, CHIC. sent
Major Baron Won dem Busche to Ber-
lin on the evening OF September 20,
1918. He was to give explanations
in the reichstag of the military posi-
ton, If the government thought it
advisable.
Later, at my request, the field mar
shall decided to accompany his ma
jesty TO Berlin on the evening of the
30th, in order to represent CHIC. in
Berlin. I was unfortunately indis-
pensable at Spa, owing to the position
in the field.
Already, on the evening of the 30th,
Major Baron Won dem Busche had had
a short conversation, in the presence
of Vice Chancellor Won Payer. with
Prince Max, who had meanwhile
come to Berlin, and had expressed
himself to the prince in the same
sense as he was to address the party
leaders Of the reichstag on the follow
ing morning. He also gave explana-
tons privately to Won Payer to the
same effect

BrrNK ABOUT AMENDMENTS.

Many newspapers are now causuC
in comment concerning the recen'
submission Of amendments to the
constitution of New Mexico. because
the election caused the expenditure
Of public funds. OF course some OF
the press sieze the opportunity &c
criticize the state administration, for
political effect.
And yet at the time the legislature
voted to pass the propositions to the
people one Of the measures was
unanimously approved by legislators
of all the parties, was applauded by
all Of the press and has probably
been approved at the polls.
Another of the propositions was
voted for by several of the leading
democratic legislators. who held 1t to
be in the interest Of state economy
and for better government Of public
institutions.
The third was deemed such a fine
method for getting vast sums of
money from the federal government
under a law that was passed by a
democratic congress that democrats in
the legislature were strong for 1t,
In all of the measures were weak
points not discovered until later Had
the administration attempted to pre-
vent the questions being submitted to
the people there would have been an
uproar of accusations that the will of
the public was being thwarted.
With discovery later of the danger
of complication that might arise in
bond issues; detriment that might
come to public institutions by chang
ing control; and that rehabilitation
made the ballot for absent soldiers
almost superfluous, the administra-
ton and legislators showed no dis
position to influence the fate of
amendments put up to the voters by
O. legislature that never made the
matters partisan questions.
No harm has been done by submits
sion of the various questions, except
the expenditure of money for election
costs. Every dollar of that of course
went into the pockets of citizens for
necessary services and printing. None
OF the money has left the state, and
most OF it went direct to ordinary tax
payers. While that does not exactly
square the matter from a financial
standpoint, the funds cannot be said
TO have been squandered.
There is one beneficial result: A
timely lesson has been taught that will
cause future legislatures to weigh
more carefully suggestions for sub
mission of changes in the constitu-
ton. Neither legislators nor the tax
payers association officials found the
fault In the road bond amendment in
time to safeguard the form. What
was offered in good faith was almost
unanimously abandoned when its
fault was found.
The press and politicians. by silence
or applause. approved of the intent of
the legislature as to three measures
and after-the-funeral political bunk
does not go far

| had been writing to the govern

ence to the shortage of reinforce

efforts to have it amended, and to
bring women more and more into
service, my suggestions for rounmng
up shirkers and deserters at home
were all fully justified, not only by
the Hindenburg program, but also by
the need of man-power at the front
All my suggestions for raising moral
at home constituted questions of in

We're interdependent If morale was

80 that the new government would be
formed at the latest on the afternoon
of October ], so that the peace offer
could be despatched on the evening of
the same day.
After the discussion with Colonel
Won Haeften on the evening of Octo-
Der /. | understood the situation and
realized that Won Hintze's expectation
would not be realized. I instructed
Won Haeften to see that no unneces-
sary delay occurred, but in view of the
position in Berlin l resigned myself
to a postponement of the despatch of
the note.
After the statement by the field
marhsal to the new cabinet G. II. @.
had no further influence in the draft
ing of the note or on the course of
the political negotiations. / regarded
/ the note as somewhat weak in tone,
and proposed a more manly wording,
but no attention was paid to my de-
mands.
1t was unfortunately inevitable that
we should base ourselves on Wilson'S
fourteen points. They were not dis
similar In their general lines to the
social-democratic views that had come
forward in Germany, and so far as
number goes they correspondent with
the Austro-Hungarian note to Serbia
of the end of July. 1914.
In telegram on October 2 en-
phasiZed that the fourteen points of
| the Wilson note were to serve as the
basis for the discussion of peace
terms, but We're not TO be regarded
as conditions imposed on us by the
enemy" The field marshal had raken
the same standpoint in Berlin, but had
met with no support from the secre->
taries of state, Vice Chancellor Won
Payer alone agreeing with him.
A commission was assembled at
Spa to work out the armistice condi-
tons. General Won Gundell presided,
and the chancellor was represented
by Won Hintze. The other members

Efforts were made. by explanations

ening effects of the request for arm
istice and peace.
Subsequently to the Goth September
I discussed the offer with MANY of
the commanders. Those who knew
the whole situation agreed that it was
the right step. while those who were
in quieter positions could not see the
necessity for it. l had the satisfac-
ton that their confidence in myself
was not impaired.
