Gen. Erich Ludendorff, Germany's

Americas attitude toward Soviet Rus

when General Ludendorff suddenly
asked:
Have you seen = copy of the letter
written by Major Won GtllhAusen. OF
tho Imperial Guards, at the outbreak

LUDENDORFF IMPRESSED.
No, I had not seen \ copy OF the
'Gillhausen Vision" a. II II known
and which Is creating q sensation In
Germany wherever 1t 10 read. Luden-
dorff was about the last man In the
world whom one would suspect OF
being impressed by any occult reve-
lation."
.One may believe In such things or
one may not, but the fact remains
that this officer foretold the outcome
of tho war for Germany. and In the
light Of that 1t is interesting what he
claims to have seen in the same Wis
ion in regard to America and Russia"
remarked Ludendorn. The general
turned to his desk and fumbled among
. stack Of papers. "Ill see II can
md 1t for you"
But he could not find the letter.
Ludendorff seemed so much I'M
pressed by this mysterious letter and
emphasized that the vision Of Ger
many's defeat. the loss Of crown and
throne by the Kaiser. was seen by
one Of the officers of the Kaiscrs I'm
perial Guards and written down at
the very beginning OF the war when
enthusiasm ran highest, that ! urged
him to try and find 1t for me. 'I'll see
that you get it II you are Interested"
promised Ludendorff.
I have Just received the letter. AS
far as have been able to ascertain
1t has not been published. but type
written copies in large numbers arc
being passed among high stan officers
and In the government offices.
The Vision of Gillhausen" is con-
taincd in letter written by Major
Guido Won Gillhausen. at that time

Guards at Potsdam, on August 3, 1914.
