All/lS’l`ERl)AM, Dec. 7.~- General

von Luiiendorii, right hand niau of Field Marshal von I-lindonburg, is quoted by a correspondent of the Vienna Neue Frete Presse as making the prediction recently at German headquarters that the war will nlbt cud in a draw but be decided in favor of the Central Powers.

The correspondent. says thc Victi-

ua despatch, secured this expression from Von Ludendorfl in conversation with him during a visit to headquar- ters where he also talked with Von lrlindenburg.

“lt appears the Russians are the

ilrst to 'he inclined for peace," Gen- crul von Ludendorff said. “l will not say that l regard the Bolshcviki mani- festation as a peace offer,” 'he con- tinued. “There must be a secure government for this purpose, one which possesses power to enforce rin- tr-rnally and externally the results of the negotations with us. Of course we can conclude an armlstfc with Russia ut any time as soon as , .we have the assurance that it will be inaintaine-cl. A general armistice., however, will bc difficult to achieve."

General von Ludendorfl’ expressed

lielief that a general armistice would interrupt submarine activity and ul- low the Entente to improve its posi- tions. while on thc other hand no sup; plies would reach the central powers. Therefore he thought such an armis-

I wise the military situation would suf- for.

“Modern war", suid thc General,

“is ii. war of people, not ot' i\i'mies and at war ends now when an enemy poo-‘ ple is defeated. 'Fhcro are no decisive battles, as in formc_r wars. The bat.-i t.lcs merely have an iiiillrort. influence on thc whole naiiouiil system. induc- ing decay and collapse."

The correspondent says the impres-

sion that Field Marshal von l.udcn~

army, Field Marshal von lliiideuburg gave to the correspondcnt‘ his opin- ioii that no morn- military activity ou' h large scale could lic cxpccicd l`roni it. lic thought is possible, iiowcvod,i ndds tho coi'respondciit. that "sonic flespot or other like Grand Duke Nic-1 bolus might seize powc-I' und lncltc
