WAR SECRET OUT.
Debacle Sends Ludendorff Into A Fit. TOLD KAISER TO GAIN PEACE. (Australian and X.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, September 30. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" has revealed a carefully guarded war secret, to the effect that General Ludendorff on September 18, 1918, when over-wrought by the knowledge that a military disaster was approaching, had a fit in a hotel at Spa, near Liege. The general then gave vent to an avalanche of words about the coming debacle, which he followed by sending a telephone message to the then Kaiser advising him to appeal to the Allies for an armistice.
