LUDENDORFF'S WAR MEMOIRS
AUGUST 8 THE "DAY OF DOOM " By Telearaph—Press Association— Copyright (Rec. August 21, 11.10 p.m.) ; Berlin, August 20. Ludendorff's war memoirs have been published. He pictures himself as a strong man surrounded by weaklings, and blames the Government for the final catastrophe. While the High Command was .urging the utmost effort, the Government was always thinking of compromise, hoping for peace by an understanding. Lndendorff studiously refrains from prais. ing anyone, and barely mentions Foch and Haig. It is therefore significant that he describes August 8, 1918, as "the day of doom for Germany." He says: "A great gap was nrnde in our front, leading to the breach of the Hindenburg line. Then the armies crumbled." This statement constitutes a striking enemy tribute to the Australians under Sir John Monasli, who were co-operating with the Canadians and the French—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
