Ludendorff's Resignation Will ( St i H
Further Shake Faith of German

I IxMidon, Oct. 27. (British wireless)

Berlin Saturday ni.mht that Emperor
William had acceded to trr"? reuuest of
General Ludondorff. tho first quartermaster-general,
that lie be permitted
to resign.
Copenhagen, Oct. 27. General Lud
endnrff. first quaruTiiuster-goneral
of the German army, has resigned,
says a telegram from Berlin. In ac
cepting his resignation the emperor
has decreed that the Lower Bhenish
Infantry regiment No. 'M, of which
I General Ludendorff loni; had been
I commander, shall bear liis name.
London, Oct. 27. (British . wireless
service) General surprise was caused
in Berlin on Saturday afternoon by
the fact that the daily report from
German headquarters was not signed
as usual with the name- of General
Ludendorff. Later the following offi
cial announcement was issued:
"The emperor, accepting; the request
lii be allowed to retire of infantry
(.f wnl ,jlI(Il,n(1(irff lhe lirst (llaI,,r.
"lastergeneral and commander in
f f l,.,e, -i,th ",,fan,ry

I lhe same time that tho Lower Kliep-
H" ",(all,r-v regiment .mo. u which
i bo general has long been chief, shall
j bear hencefi)rth tho name of Luden
i dorf.'."
j His resignation, it is believed in
, London, will FtiH further shake the
jfaitli of the German people in their
j military machine.
i Eomlon. ki. 27. The resignation
General Ludendorff is popularly in-
terjroted here as heralding O'-rmnny';)
1 acceptance of the allies' armistice
'..terms. Whether this interpretation is
rr.Ai th-reslgnni4n of Ho first
quartermaster general cannot fail se-
nously to affect tho morale or the
German army.
Kuniors have been current for sonif
'lime past of a disagreement between
j Field Marshal von Hlndetibiirj; and
1 Ludendorff and that von Hinderburg
had approved of the peace negoti-
titions. ,
Berne. Oct. 27. The resignation of
General von Ludendorff has caused a
thorough sensation throughout Swit
zerland and the central empires and
is commented on uh a sign that Ger
man militarism Is really abdicating.
Among the German and Austrian peo
ples anger and indignation is increas
ing over the fact that t lie military
situation has been so long concealed
or wrongly presented.
Paris, Oct. 27. via Montreal. (Ren
ter's.) The Echo De Paris says that
General Ludendorff resigned because
ho saw the impossibility of continuing
the wa.'.
The Martin says:
"Germany will represent the retire
ment of Ludendorff as a new proof of
the subordination of tho military to
th civil power, but this will deceive
no one. Lundendorff. who four
months ago made the Reichstag and
the German people believe that the
fall or Paris and the surrender of
France was imminent, now disappears
because he Is beaten and a desperate
'Germany is faced with capitulation."
WILSON EXPLAINS HIS
FREE TRADE PLANKS
Saye He Meant That Whatever Tariff
Found Necessary, It Should Ap
ply Equally to All Nations.
Washington, Oct. 28. President
Wilson replied today to the Republi
can contentions that the third of his
fourteen peace terms is a free trade
plank, by explaining that in demand
ing the removal of economic barriers
he meant to suggest no restrictions
! upon internal economic policies, but
lonlv that whatever tariff, high or low.
i any nation might deem necessary, It
should apply equally to all foreign n.i
t ions. The -President iniole explana
