Renews PREJUDICE VIEWED Ludendorff BOWMAN TELLS Anti-Jewish Charges AS PRESERVER OF ESFROM RACE DISTINCTIONS O S USE Berlin.—(J. T. A.)—General Eric von Ludendorff, former German warlord, apparently affected by the heat wave which has visited Central Europe this summer, has renewed his anti-Jewish campaign with scandalously ridiculous charges against the Jews. In his weekly paper, "Deutsche Wochenschau," he declares that the recent increase in railway accidents in Germany is to be attributed to the "machinations" of Jewish manufacturers of aeroplanes and automobiles for the purpose of furthering their industries. In another article in the same issue, Ludendorff terms himself the "field marshal of the army of enlightement" against Judaism and asserts that because of his being in this position "Jewry has decided to do away with me."
