...General Ludendorff inspected several detachments of the Fatherland League troops (unofficial royalist army). After the men had goose-stepped past him, he addressed them: " The time is soon coming when the whole German people will be called on to free our country from the foe, when we can again serve in the good cause of our old ruling house, which we formerly so loyally and honorably served...
...recent address to the Prussian Diet, Herr Severing, Minister of the Interior, mentioned Ludendorff by name on several occasions. He charged him with what was tantamount to conspiracy against the Republic, and thereby intimated that Ludendorff's part in the reactionist activities is understood but not appreciated. The aims of the royalist organizations are delightfully naive; reestablishment of the monarchy, expulsion of the French and Belgians from the Ruhr, progressive negotiations with Poland in order to keep the front door to Russia wide open and suppression of all revolutionary elements in the country! The aims of the Government...
...police all over Germany of "heightened alarm preparedness". The voice in the whirlwind is Herr Hitler, leader of the National Socialist party in Bavaria. This party has cemented itself with the Liberty party in Prussia, and Herr Severing asserts that the whole movement is backed by the ominous Ludendorff.

But the possibility of success is negligible. The Centrist and Democratic...
There are two monarchist parties in Bavaria. One aims at separation from North Germany and the establishment of a Kingdom; it is led by Dr. Kuehles and backed by Ludendorff. The other party is nonseparationist and aims at the restoration of the Wittelsbach dynasty with Prince Rupprecht as Emperor of Germany. The Prince is said to take no active part in royalist matters, but is ready when he considers the time ripe to make a bid for the Imperial throne. Popular opinion in Bavaria considers that Rupprecht has a very good chance...
