GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN
By Sigrid Schultz
Copyright. IJM-4. by * iprhl Srhtittxft
Distributed l y Mv\ Service' Inc.
As an American newspaper
correspondent in Berlin from
1919 to 1941, S;grid Schultz saw
at first hand the events that, led
. Jr.am World War I to World War
II. And she saw the behind-the-
scenes preparation for the com-
ing "war-in-peace" that she
warns may culminate in World
War III. This is the story of
Germany's plans to win the
peace, plans that even now are
being put into effect.
* * *
1TI
J^UDENDORFF and his friends
met first problems first. How
could they stir up the people to
fight again after a lost, war? The
answer was astonishingly simple.
Make them believe that, (be war
was not lost, that they had just
missed victory by their refusal to
fight on to the end
This deception, which almost
out-hitlers Hitler, was made pos-
sible by the Allied failure to carry
the war onto German soil. The
German masses, who hated having
lost anyway, were glad to believe,
and the deception made it easier
for the secret staff to revive their
martial spirit.
That was luck But most of the
successes of the German secret
general staff were the immutable
results of calculation. Thus, the
first deliberate victory of the
military group came from a clever
sort of blindman's-buff, by which
a member of the fledgling Repub-
lican government, Dr. Matthias
Erzberger, was compelled to sign
the Armistice in the name of the
German government instead of a
military leader. This maneuver
accomplished, the militarists
promptly started spreading the
word that, "the Republic had
stabbed the German army in the
back."
To be able to keep the reins of
government in hand behind the
back of the Republic, the reaction-
ary forces decided they must keep
useful men in useful places. While
the masses were still rioting in
the streets of Berlin, they pre-
vailed upon the Republican lead-
ers to "act for German unity" by
inviting the former imperial offi-
cials to stay on in office. Only a
few refused the invitation.
By one stratagem or another,
the leading Republicans had by
the end of the year been led to
entrust the protection of the new
government to imperial officers
who were either secretly or openly
disloyal.
* * *
(\NE thing that made it relatively
easy for the secret staff to
save the German army was the
eagerness of I he Republic's heads
to retain a strong military force.
Their reason was that, to them an
army symbolized law and order,
infinitely necessary after four
years of war and the disorders of
revolution.
Because of the Republic's faith
in the army ieaders, in the two
short months before the end of
the year, ihe solidly entrenched
secret staff had acquired a mili-
tary whiphand.
Its members had early induced
the Republicans to rule that sol-
i diers returning from foreign bat-
tlefields could re-enlist as volun-
I teers. They thus escaped de-
I mobilization. And from the seeds
I of this innocent-looking measure
grew the Free Corps, and. later the
Black Reichswehr both of which
heavily weighted the whip already
in the hands of the militarists.
Under the provisions of the
Versailles Treaty large numbers
of officers were demobilized. The
demobilization looked like a peace
move. Actually it made it easier
for the secret staff to remobilize
I them without detection. Many of
j the highest ranking received pen-
! sions adequate for a decent if not
luxurious living. Many officers
| went into posts especially created
| for them in industry or big busi-
j ness. Wherever they were, how-
ever, all the officers remained in-
{ lantly available for assignments
ion the multiple problems of the
| coming war.
Boy Scouts Pick
Up Waste Paper
Friday, Saturday
Sweetwater citizens may still
voluntarily give waste paper to
the war department through the
Boy Scouts but the need is now.
If your home is one that has
not assembled all kinds of paper
bundled and tied properly, do so
now, have it on the porch or curb
for the Friday afternoon pickup
to be made after school hours.
The Scouts are giving their
time, the boys in service, their
lives, why not give scrap paper
to aid the war, is the plea.
If trucks fail to pickup paper
Friday, resident should call 2(501
and it wilt be collected on Satu1-
day, Mark Nichols, publicity
drive chairman said.
r"\N the same trains that carried
the millions of war-weary
German troops back from the
fronts in 1918, men who wildly
cheered the slogan "Nie wicdcr
Krieg" (no more war), were other
soldiers who felt quite differently.
Officers who refused to accept the
defeat went among these others,
picking the toughest and the most
aggressive. In this, way they as-
sembled the first units of what
soon came to be called the Freo
Corps, whose actual strength wa3
never known.
Secrct, societies of various de-
scriptions suddenly sprang up all
over the country to "carry on tho
sacred military traditions of Ger-
many." Some of the societies were
not secret, but centered apparently
about some cultural or civic enter-
prise with no semblance of mili-
tary connection. Respectable
burghers in small towns and cities
formed themselves into patrol
services. Theis laudable purpose
was said to be protection of their
homes and families from the crim-
inals who always spring up from
nowhere in the wake of wars and
revolutions. Perfectly innocent,
one would say. But such groups
were actually utilized for the for-
mation of military cells.
Hs # #
'T'HE purely military value of the
*■ Free Corps was negligible. The
secret general staff knew well
enough they were not crack units.
On the half-a-loaf theory, how-
ever, they felt the rough ard tum-
ble military discipline served the
men better than no training at all.
Second, merely to quarter one
of their groups in a region was
to create a center of unrest. The
political leaders within the secret,
staff established and dispersed
these centers at will.
Third, the Free Corps furnished,
by their very nature, a vast pool
for the secret staff to draw on for
any new military venture.
And fourth, Free Corps men
were invaluable from the very
beginning in spiriting away the
active and reserve German arma-
ments.
The secret staff saw to it that
the Free Corps remained in a fer-
ment as a means of pressure
against the Republic.
(To Be Continued)

students. The theme is "Chal-

A sing-song, led by Christine
Shannon, teacher of vocal must?

gram.

Dewey Democrat's
Wite Fired In Okie.
OKLAHOM ACITY —(UP) —
Dismissal of a state tax commis-
sion employe whose husband has
accepted a key post in the dem-
ocrats for Dewey club has been
confirmed by Commission Chair
man J. 1- rank Martin and Go\?-
ernoi Kerr.
Mrs. Bill Wallace, wife of a
Grady county Democratic state
representative, defeated in his
bid for^a congressional post last
July, revealed that she had been
tired and blamed it on her hus-
band's appointment as sixth dis-
trict chairman of the Dewey
democrats organization.
Governor Kcit said "I feel
it not unreasonable to as-
s lime tie as a democratic leg-
islator was able to help get
lier job and if still while a
democratic official he de-
cides to holt the democratic
ticket, lie wouldn't lie a lot
of help to her since this i.s a
democratic administration."
Wallace charged that all state
employes have been "pointedly
reminded" to contribute 10 per
cent of their next pay checks
Saturday to the democratic elec-
tion campaign chest.
Kerr, denying any employe
had been "coerced or compelled"
to contribute, said he openly
favored support of the democrat-
ic ticket by all persons connected
with his administration.

Priced Car As Well
As Regular Model
BUFFALO (UP) — The Ford
| Motor Company is considering
\ post-war production of a car low-
er in price that any that have
i been offered the public since
! the days of t he famous model
I "A."
Henry Ford the Second, who
is the firm's executive vice-pre-
! sident., reveals that officials of
the company have been think-
I ing along those lines.
However, they haven't t'.ecid-
I ed what the car will look like,
lor what it will sell for.
Ford says the neW low-priced
J model will he in addition to the
j company's regular line of models
j which will be—in Ford's words
—"face-lifted versions of 1042
models" with only slight visible
changes.

Swift's invtie nation - wide
entries for their armadillo
derby.
Call for entries has been
issued through the camp
newspaper, ami a hospital
detachment has been named
to take charge of the novel
racing.
Favored now is "Army," a
fleet runner from the Texas
hill country. In fact "Army"
is responsible for the whole
idea and for the hospital de-
tachment being in charge.
Returning from a week-
end furlough a soldier
brought the armadillo back
t'i camp, it wandered into
the hospital and when an at-
tempt was made to evacuate
him, the hospital unit dis-
covered how fleet a runner
the armadillo is despite
his armor which is like that
of atank.

that "Army could be control-
led as to direction and the
race plan was born. Distance
and rules are to be determin-
ed after test heats.

Manroe Named
Fire Prevention
Week Chairman
The local committee for Fire
Prevention Week to be held the
week of October 8-14 was an
nounced today by Mayor Albert
Norred.
M. C. Manroe is local commit-
mittee chairman, working with
C. W. Tarter and Mrs. Elsie
Robinson. Many volunteers are
needed to carry on this vi al
work. Anyone wishing to aid
should contact one of the com-
mittee members.
This year fire prevention is
more vital than at any time in
our history because fires delay
ultimate victory. When our en-
emies see American homes burn
faster than the nation is building
them; when large loss fires last
year exceeded in number any
previous year in our history,
and the year 1010 by 17(i percent:
when they see farm dwellings
going up in smoke at the rate of
one every fifteen minutes; when
they see these fire losses exceed-
ing a million dollars a day —ou.-
enemies are cheered even t hough
these fires are due to our own
carelessness and ignorance, and
not to their action.
That is why we urge civic or-
ganizations and youth clubs to
cooperate in Fire Prevention
Week activities. In this way, we
can drive home to the whole
community the necessity for
both active and passive defense
against the menace of fire.
