F i r s t Meeting to Be Held on

Thursday Evening, September 11

Berlin.—(J. T.

Madame Ludendorff, who was once a psychiatrist, is now the editor of the Ludendorff organ "Wochenschaa," which has been zealously spreading the most fantastic anti-Semitic tales. The suit for divorce was brought by General Ludendorff upon the advice of his friends who made him realize that his wife had foisted upon him her fantastic theory that the Jews and Masons were plotting

So zealously has he propagated her ideas, which have become his own, that the former German war lord has been entirely isolated and ignored because of the obviously stupid and false legends he has been creating. Since the end of the War General Ludendorff has been an active antiSemite, having at one time been associated with Adolph Hitler, leader of the anti-Semitic National Socialists.
