GERMAN PEOPLE
FAILED HIM, SAYS
GEN. LUDENDORFF

Gen. Ludendorff today flays the German people
for failure to natonaze the single idea of victory.
The who sent hundreds of thousands OF his
countrymen TO death in solid columns of cannon
fodder" has only scon for the fighting spirit OF
the fatherland. New light is thus shed upon the
psychology of the master mind of the enemy's mill
tary machinery. In yesterdays installment. Luden-
dorff told how ruthless submarine warfare was
forced upon the world after bitter political struggle
in Germany.
Chancellor Bethmann-Holweg fearful OF its
consequences. The imperiast iunkers wanted 1t
but the socialists fought IT, Ludendorff and linden
burg insisted upon II and at length the chancellor
assented and the kaiser decreed it on January Q,
1917.
Cool calculation of what America could do IL she
did come into the war preceded the decision. >The
navy chiefs certain that the u-boats would
bring the allies to their knees within six months.
Ludendorff gave them year-and decided America
could do little in that time. One chapter of Luden
dorffs book will appear in The Star daily.
