A strange libel suit against 'General Ludendorff which has been delayed for one reason and another for three years and four months, has begun in Gotha.
General Ludendorff, who has been busily destroying his great reputation of the War years by the wildest political crank doctrinos ever since, believes that, in 1914 Germany was a victim of a con- spiracy of the three super-State powers, the Jesults, the Jews and the Freemasons...
On January 17, 1928, he assert- ed in a public speech, that the "Grand Master of the German Lodge of Freemasons, Count von Dohna, had known of the plot to murder the Austrian heir-apparent and "provoke, a European war as early as 1911, and was guilty of high treason because he had taken.no ateps to prevent the tragedy of Serajovo.
