Austrian Racialists plan a monster Pan-German celebration at Salzburg. The vast majority of the Racialists are Monarchists and are very much in sympathy with the German Nationalists (Monarchists).
Now no Monarchical demonstration is complete among these Teutons unless there is present the great General Erich von Ludendorff, more famed as a “beer brawler” (TIME, Nov. 19) than as Quartermaster Gen-eral of the Imperial German Army. So the Austrian racialists invited him to Salzburg.
When Foreign Minister Dr. Alfred Grünberger heard of this, he waxed wrathful and declared, by all the gods, that General Ludendorff should not come to Salzburg. He further intimated to the Pan-Germans that their celebration would be permitted only on condition that German Nationalist organizations and German Racialists withdrew. For, in fact, Pan Germanism now means the fusion of Austria and Germany.
