Renter's correspondent at British Headquarters writes that a captured order, signed by General Ludendorff, reads as follows:—"It has come to my knowledge that men on leave have spoken publicly of a revolution in Germany after the war. One soldier from Rhenish Westphalia declared that, with this object, the men of his district were going on leave, taking weapons with them, namely, captured revolvers or hand grenades. I desire that the kits of men going on leave be searched, as a test case, when occasion offers. Officers who are detected must be severely punished. Above all, I wish to impress the superior officers, who hear such talk or hear it through others, that they deal with the matter immediately. Home authorities and the Director of Railways will take corresponding measures." — Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assoc. and Reuter.
