GERMAN SOLDIERS
PREPARE FOR WAR
Embassy Employe Ordered to
Return to Post.

Judging from an incident reported yes
terday Germany was in dead earnest in
preparing for a war with France and
England. Germany, it appears, was and
still is so intent on getting ready that
she has issued orders to members of regi-
ments who are abroad either on special
leave or on special service to return to
their posts.
One of these soldiers is employed at
the German Embassy here. In CONVEX
sation with a government official the
employe said he was under orders to go
back within five days to his post. 1t is
understood that similar orders went to
German soldiers similarly situated. wher-
ever they are.
Inasmuch as the orders to the Wash
ington German soldiers have not been
revoked, 1t is not at all unlikely that
Germany will c<atinue to draw in her
scattered soldiers until there is no longer
any danger of armed conflict in Europe.
