A vigorous campaign throughout Germany for the (###) of Christianity by the “pure blooded Aryans” and a return to the worship of the ancient pagan gods is now under way under the direction of General Eric won Ludemdorf, former German war lord and present leader of the anti-Semitic movement in the country. He is assisted by his wife, Dr. Mathilde Ludemdorf, who issued a statement yesterday declaring that “the most insidious enervate of Germany are the Jews and the Jesuits.”

The bible of the Ludemdorf pagans will be the Scandinavian Edda, being a collection of Norse folk lore.

Dr. Marhilda Ludemdorf, who is to hold the position of high priestess in the new paganism, recently published a book entitled “Deatseber Gouglambem” in which it is declared that the Christian churches of Germany are heretical and un-Germanic.
