Washington, July 27 (by the AS
sociated Press) Victory for soviet
Russia over Poland would result in
bolshevism sweeping all Europe
and eventually the world, in the
opinion of Gen. Eric Ludendorff,
famous German war leader. His
views are set forth in a memo
randum on the dangers of boil
shevism,' written last month and
received today in official circles.
"Poland's fall will entail the
fall Of Germany and Czecho-Slo
vakia," he says. Their neIghbors
to the north and south will follow.
Fate steps along without element
ary force. Let no one believe 1t
will come to stand without en-
veloping Italy, France and Eng
land. Not even the seven seas can
stop it,"
Addressing himself to the "civ-
iliZed nations as man who knows
war;" the general pleads that his
message not fall on deaf ears.
Then it will be too late" he
declared. "and civilization will
crumble. And the cause will be
the obtuseness of government and
the lethargy of the bourgeois, as
the latter likes to stay quietly at
home on days of decisive events.
Must advance TO Exist.
"fiolshevism is a monster that
must advance to exist. 1t is ad-
vancing now. a gradual progress
and crushing everything between
the midland sea and the Atlantic.
ut was easy to foresee that the
bolshevist armies would attack to-
ward the middle of May and defeat
the Poles.
THE world at large must, there !
fore, figure with bolshevist ad-
vance in Poland toward Berlin and
Prague. Lithuania is already join
ing soviet Russia and is demanding |
a slice of the Prussian province of
East Prussia. The moment will |
come when bolshevist armies will
menace Germany and Czecho-Slo-
vakia.
"L.enine has advanced his lines
to the frontiers of China. Afghan
istan, Persia and India and Is now
to continue his progress.
"The bolshevist enterprises en-
counter resistance east OF Lake
Baikal on the part Of Japan and
General Seminoff. The tenacity
and the superior shrewdness OF
the Japanese make it probable that
the bolshevists will meet reverses
IN that quarter. However the
have the inner line in
he direction of India and Persia,
no less than in Europe. Japans
urn will be later.
Civilization or Barbarism.
"The bolshevists have England's
world power to face in both direc-
ions. but in addition we must re-
member they must face what the
world calls civilization, besides. 4 K
