~ WINNEAKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, Spine 19, 1919 A St cs WEEE EE Announcement Extraordinary ror rie E HE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS has secured the exclusive Chicago rights of first newspaper publication of General Ludendorff's Confession --OF-- How Germany Lost the War This sensational revelation of the German effort to dominate the world, as told by the one man best qualified by reason of his intimate knowledge of the situation from the inside to tell the story, is an his- torical document of world-wide interest and con- sequence. It is the first time in the history of journalism that a great and epoch-making historical work has been first published in the daily press, and The Chica- go Daily News has secured it for its readers. It will be published simultaneously throughout the country, appearing in the New York World, Philadelphia Public Ledger, the Boston Post, the Bal- timore Evening News, the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Louisville Courier-Journ- al, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Minneapolis Trib- une, the Omaha World-Herald, the San Francisco Examiner, and other leading newspapers. It will give the world the first comprehensive understanding of Germany's plans and expectations in her audacious ambition to dominate the world. The German side of the war has been largely shrouded in mystery, and up to the present time no one who knows has spoken. Now Ludendorff--the man who conceived, planned and carried out the most colossal military campaigns, and who directed the most stupendous military machine in the world's his- tory-- tells the whole story. Shortly after. the signing of the Armistice, Gen- eral Ludendorff went to Sweden, taking with him a tremendous mass of records and a large staff of assist- ants. From these records and his own knowledge and experience he has produced this amazing document. We know so much about our own defeats, and Germany was so silent about hers, that it seemed at times as if the balance of victory was all on her side. 'But Ludendoril discloses the real condition of Ger- many just before the war, and gives credit and places blame where he believes it belongs. He also tells when and where the German plans miscarried, and 'the military crisis through which the Central Powers passed, all unknown to the Allied world. Ludenaorff's story is complete--the history of every great bajtie and campaign. It does not deal with disjointed events, but will lay bare the whole German side of the war. It is not a justification, but a history for all time. As a revelation of the world's all too narrow es- cape from an engulfing peril, nothing could more definitely, and convincingly, confirm to the conscience and patriotism of the American people their own de- termining part in the struggle for world freedom. Ludendorff's book is a great historical document, 'and an unconscious inspiration to American patriot- ism. These are now appearing in the Chicago Daily News, and will continue in daily installments.
