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.
ir Not' Q Piece Of Luck.

but a natural-.result ol’ the wan oper-
ations.
“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-

The correspondent says the impres-
sion that Field Marshal von l.udcn~

bility, ns far as possible. one whichi
will bring with it secure frontiers and
free economic activity on land and
sca. ‘ '
\Vlth reference to the Russian
army, Field Marshal von lliiideuburg
gave to the correspondcnt‘ his opin-
ioii that no morn- military activity ou'
