Among those who are unhappy ovee
the coming together of Bolsheviki and
the German representatives at Genoa
is Gen. Ludendorff, according to Gen,
Sir Ian Hamilton, who has just re>
turned from Germany. He visited
Ludendorff at Munich and SAYS the
German General told him the Bo.slies
wiki had brought a new force into
the world which would prove ditrcult
and particularly deadly to the British
people
According to Sir Ian, Ludendorfe
said The British Empire as stated,
has been founded on mercy, goodness
and all the virtues of a sanity chars
acter AS student of history ID
seems to me that the British Empire
was built up rather by bold yet rals
culating system of compromise. Now
the Bolsheviki are whole -hoggers-S
they do not compromise. With thsn1
IL is all or none. They are real fac
natics.
All, tive NOtnlnE.
"If you make them ar advance they
take 1t. but they are not a all satisfied.
for they are the type of people whose
appetite comes from eating. The great
majority of the people of ireland were
content with the recent concessions and
had it not been for Bolshevist gold the
matter would now be ended. But YOU
will see that nothing will satisfy the
malcontents. 1t is the same in Egypt,
the same ~ India"
Gen Hamilton said that he would
not repeat Gen. Ludendorffs remedy be.
cause it would be too startling and adds'
ed that 1t was enough TO say that tY5
plan was impossible for Great Britain.
He said that Gen. Ludendorff answered
| frankly all questions of German opera
| tions in which Gen. Hamilton was viz
tally interested. He asked Gen. Ludens
dorff why he had insisted on an arniis-
tice' on October 2. 1915 with the explanas
ton that Bulgaria had collapsed.
Gen. Ludendorff replied that II was
the principal reason lie said the Gers
mans recognized two fronts only, the
nltente front and the Balkan front, and
that when a hole was made through the
front large enough for the enemy 10
enter the game was up.
Unable to Close Breach.
I'VE applied TO Maciensen to tr yto
stop the breach" Gen. Ludendorff said.
''He replied that the Bulgarians had
gone utterly to pieces and that 1t was
impossible BY the end of october ths
Entente might have had troops mass-
ing an the Danube. Austria-H Hungary
was Knocked out. therefore we adminis-
tratively were also knocked out. There
was no collapse on the western 'front.'
whatever has been said to the contrary<
The spirit OF the troops was good buq
the spirit of the nation and of the comA
munications was perhaps different. Butt
here too it seemed that IL anything
could arouse the people to full patriotio
fury 1t would be the severity of this
terms which l knew would be pros
duced by the Entente at the armistices
However, | was wrong, for the thslg
had gone too far and our downfall had
to follow"
Cen Hamilton said that the German
general looks quite like young man.
but his pictures do not do him justice.
He said that he seemed to be much more
eager to discuss the future than "a
relate old stories of the war and be-
leves that Gen. Ludendorff will yet 90
"a great power in Germany.
