COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
OBTAINS INTERVIEW"
WITH GEN. LUDENDORFF
BY BASSETr DIGBY.
Special correspondence of Even
ing star and The Chicago
Daily News.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden Febru-
airy 1S.-The capital is laughing
over the remarkable interview
with Gen. Ludendorff published
in a Skane country newspaper.
The interview is unique. 1t is
the one and only Ludendorff in
terview obtained since that gen.
tleman's teeth were drawn and
he skunk into the back door OF
Sweden on a forged passport.
After relating how "all the
newspaper men and reporters
tried to catch the general and
get him to Confide in them, this
journal proudly relates how 'on
Tuesday afternoon Il member OF
tre staff Of this newspaper, how
ever. succeeded in meeting and
talking with Gen. Ludendorff
while he WAS taking his after
noon promenade. The following
words were directed in German
to the general (you perceive it
was the highbrow member of

ment):
Excuse ne. you are certain
ly Gen. Ludendorff. Would it be
possible to put some questions
TO herr general?'
The general made e. rebufTing
motion with his hand and. with
what seemed to be an offended
expression, said. (This is where
the thrill comes):
Go away"
And, carefully menorizing the
interview, the reporter went.
He wrote q little character
study when he got back to the
Office, piece that seems to i'm
ply that Ludendorff' expression
during the interview stuck in his
mind.
The general" he wrote. was
rather like the pictures one has
had an opportunity Of seeing of
him during the years OF the
world war. \ thing which plain
" showed in his features was
strength of win and great de-
cision. He wore a gray suit with
a black coat. One got the i'm
preston that the man one con-
fronted was a genius of the first

ing credits through the American
Treasury with which to make pur-
chases. Italian relief supplies cost
$50. 0ee 900 monthly, while the relief
Of the Czechs, Jugoslavs and Serbians
costs the United States about see
900 900 monthly. The per-sistenceS of
the Italian blockade and what is
charged as the efforts OF Italy to OBJ
tain political advantages arc creating.
such bitterness that some of the Euro
pean representatives are suggesting
the possibility Of the discontinuance
of American relief for Italy.
Early in February an Italian military
mission penetrated Jugoslav populated
territory at Laibach and settled in the
town. The Jugosiays feel that since
their union with Serbia they are not
the enemies of Italy. and they resent
the occupatio of Fiume and the Dal-
matian coast by the Italian army.
Consequently they forced the Italian
mission to leave Laibach on February
19. The Italians retorted by estab-
lishing a food blockade against all
Jugoslav territory. lnasmuch as the
railways to Czechoslovakian territory
cross the Jugoslav regions this block
ade also has affected the American re-
lief work for both Bohemia and Mo

asked by statesmen from AL parts

will not is the invaria bic reply.
The fact is that the European states
men are not ready TO believe that
the republican senators reflect the
view of the people OF America, but
reflect their own viewpoint for po-
litical purposes. They are trying to
rob Mr.. Wilson Of the credit of hav-
ing brought the league into being.

great acclaim seems certain. Gem
eraI sentiment is against permitting
anything to stand in the way OF
early agreement on terms with Ger
many and signing Of the pact.
Even the league will not prevent
this. owing 70 general concord as
TO what il should be and common
agreement on present terms, which.
considering the many international
questions involved, is as perfect as
It can be made for the moment, say
ali these statesmen.
InaSmuch as SO much depends on d
league and the settlement Of SO many
problems of international character
hangs upon it, its final adoption in
its present form seems certain.
More than ever it Is agreed that
European peace should be hurri ed,
owing to beIshevik sentiments In
Germany. and the viewpoint of Amer
leans that no moments should be
lost in signing while there is some
element in Germany that can sign
a pact finds more followers.
In view of this the league of ma
tons and everything else will be
ready within an amazingly brief
period of time. possibly fifteen days.

greed III February. 1918, to denounee
she Brest-Litoysk treaty and resume
The war against Germany if the United
States and Great Britain would assure
cooperation. Raymond Robins, former
lead of the American Red Cross mis-
sion in Russia, testified today before
the Senate committee investigating
Iawless propaganda.
Mr.. Robins said that despite his ef-
IOrts and those of X. A. B. Lockhart,
British high commissioner, to induce
their government TO agree to this pro-
IiuSal. no word was received by March
4, when Lcnn said ne was convinced
40 help could be expected, and in
duced the all-RusSian soviet TO ratify
the treaty with Germany.
Mr.. Robins said in addition TO other
things that before Russia failed as an
ally allied and American propagandists
uDwittingly contributed largely to
the downfall of Russian morale and
what followed.
Posters were all over Russia" said
Mr.. Robins, telling how great the al
lies were and how powerful America
was. Some of the posters said the
United States would have 10000 air
FLAMES and 100000 men in France.
The Russians reading these declara-
tons said to themselves, Well, IL all
that is true. we Will go home for u
while There is no doubt that this
propaganda materially assisted in the
disintegration of the Russian morale,
and that it had exactly the opposits
effect from what it was Intended to
