Ludendorff's Complaint. Unsettled by these developments, famed militarist-Fascist-reactionary General Erich von Ludendorff contributed an article to the ultra-Fascist Deutsche Wochenschau last week in which he bitterly declared: "The War-distress of Germans does not seem to have been sufficiently great, or to have lasted long enough.

But even this huge sum (the highest Federal taxes ever levied for a single year were $5,069,000,000 in 1919) was insufficient. Local disbursements exceeded receipts...
These are the plays which, in the light of metropolitan criticism, seem most important. SERIOUS THE GREAT GOD BROWN-Eugene O'Neill's powerful if sometimes confusing report of how one man bought another's brains. CRAIG'S WIPE-A portrait of that woman down the street whose house is so scrupulously clean that you are chilled to enter it. LULU BELLE-Lenore Ulric as a black rowdy who sails away to Paris with a French vicomte. LESS SERIOUS CRADLE SNATCHERS-Ribald doings on Long Island when three mad young men and three bad elderly ladies...
