KEEP AN EYE ON
HUNS IS WARNING
OF NINE. BERNARD
Signing of Armisttce Does Not
Necessarily Mean Cessation
of HoStiIitieS, Says Gifted
French War Worker,

Il regard the item which ! read in
the Morning Journal upon my arriv-
al in this city. this morning. to the
effect that Gen. Won Hindenburg and
Gen. Won Ludendorf had decided to
remain in Germany and at the head of
the remnant. of the German army as
one of the most significant bits of
news to come from Europe since the
announcement of the signing of the
armistice and the acceptance by Ger
many of the drastic conditions inn
posed by the victorious United
armies was the answer given by
Nine. A. Pierre Bernard to a question
propounded by a member of the au-
dience which gathered in the patio
| of the Alvarado yesterday afternoon
to hear the gifted French woman tell
| the needs of the welfare agencies
working among the American and as
ISOLATED armies in the field.
| Not There for Any Good.
| Il have not the slightest doubt
that the presence of Won Hindenburg
and Won Ludendorf in Germany after
the flight of the kaiser and other
members of the royal family and the
leading figures of the hitherto pow
erful war party is of sinister import
ance. ] believe they have an idea OF
reorganizing the fighting forces of the
| crumbling empire with a hope, per-
| haps Of founding a new dynasty or
even of unifying the diScordant ele-
ments of the country under the lead
ership of one of the sons of the house
of Hohenzollern.
Unification Would Solve Problem
THE unification of the states of
Germany would make easier the So
luton of the problems of the United
armies when the time comes for the
settlement of the terms of peace. II
must be apparent that it will be al.
most impossible for an arrangement
to be made with each of the little
states into which the German empire
has been sundered by the collapse OF
the junker party and the army which
was the backbone and mainstay OF
that party but will watch the papers
closely for further developments
based upon the continued presence in
Germany of Won Hindenburg and vor
Ludendorf Their presence in the
country Is menace to the peace OF
the world, however in my opinion"
An Interesting Personality.
\ Nine. Bernard. in many respects
proved to be one of the most inter.
esting of the many overseas speakers
who have appeared in Albuquerque
\ under. the auspices Of the United Wai
work campaign since the campaign
opened. Though small woman she
has personality plus and a stage pres.
ence and charm of manner, as well az
a gift of oratory which would com.
mand attention under any eircum-
stances. She was introduced to her
rather small, but very appreciative
audience by Mrs. A. r. Stroup, coun-
ty chairman for Bernalillo county in
charge of United War work among
women, in a brief but felicitous
speech in the course OF which she ex-
pressed a wish that Nine. Bernard
might have seen Albuquerque when
the sun was shining as ii usually
shines over New Mexico.
Appreciates New Mexico Weather
While acknowledging the kindly in
PRODUCTION Nine. Bernard said that
there was no need to apologize to one
who had been brought up under nor
thern skies for the weather which the
people of New Mexico seemed to re-
gard as not the kind of weather which
they would like to put upon exhibit
Ftion before guests.
1T is slightly cloudy today" she
said, "but ii is warm and the sun
shines through riffs in the clouds oft
en- enough to give us a hope that the
latter will soon clear away and to
make the heart glad"
The speaker dwelt at length upon
the recently signed armistice and
what it means and warned her hear
ers against an optimism which have
its reflex in a weakening of determ-
nation to see that the arch enemy OF
civilization was dealt with in d man.
