FORMER WAR LORD ENTERS GATH YEAR Ludendorff of Germany Cele- ! brates Birthday in Seclu- { sion of Guarded Villa. By the Associated Press. MUNICH, Germany, April 10.—Gen. Erich Ludendorff, war lord of the World War, who later led the extreme Na- tionalist faction in the German Re- public, yesterday celebrated his sixty- Tourth birthday in the seclusion of his carefully guarded villa on Prince Ludwig Heights, five miles outside the Bavarian capital. While in past years there were often torchlight parades of gealous devotees, the anniversary yester- day passed without any demonstration. “The times are much too serious and the general's work is too profound to- admit of any festivities,” Frau Luden- dorff explained. “Letters and telegrams have poured in from every corner of the reich, but an intimate family din- ner party is the only celebration scheduled.” When a veporter reached the huge sandstone house surrounded by & high stucco wall yesterday and rang the bell, a man servant cautiously opened the gate, while behind him two hugh shepherd dogs barked viciously. Gen. Ludendorfl with “Wasco, come here; Max, come here,” called them off, but as soon as he observed that the caller was a stranger he hastened up the broad front steps of the house and ‘Was seen no more. He had been stroll- ing with his wife, niece and baby grand- niece in the garden overlooking the Sisar River. “Don't ascribe this to lack of man- ners on the part of the general,” saild his wife. “He is a] ched so often by strangers that he decided to see no one hereafter.” She then disclosed that her husband ‘was starting his sixty-fifth year by be- coming a journalist. “Tomorrow,” she said, “there will be opened in Munich the business of & new weekly paper named Ludendorfl’s Wochenschrift, of ‘which my husband will be editor.” It was said that the editorial policy of the new weekly will be anti-Semitic, anti-Freemasonry, and intended to be a counterbalance to Catholicism in the Bavarian state.
