GERMANS PLAN
NEW HUGE WAR,
EXPERTS AVER
Anti-Semitism Is Claimed to
Be Responsible for Death
of Rathenau.
BY HERBERT NJ. DAVIDSON.
International News Service.

PARIS, July 17.-German anti
Semitism probably was at the root
of the murder of Rathenau. is at
present at a high pitch of intensity
and may break forth in pogroms,
riots or even revolution almost at
any moment, according to an inter-
nationally known scientist interview
ed by lie Matin.
The scientist, responsible for a Sc
ries of sensational statements re-
garding conditions in Germany, re-
fused to permit LIE Matin to publish
his name.
There is an undercurrent of sus-
picion in Germany today" he told
his interviewer, that Russian and
German Jews are preparing a new
world war, directed against France,
and that the seeds for this war were
sewn in secret clauses of the treaty
of Rapallo."
Beginning with a word picture Of
life in 1922 Germany, the authority
declared that, contrary to the i'm.
pressiOns made upon most travellers
who get only a superficial view OF
German conditions, misery in the
German cities is growing greater
and greater.
Suffering is general" he said.
'in spite of the fact that there ts
little Unemployment. Visitors see
factories at full blast and shops
busy, and think at first that every.
one is prosperous and comfortable.
1T is the workman and the in,
tellectual who suffers from the cost
of living and low wages. War
wounded have ridiculous pensions.
A complete invalid has. for example,
pension of 1S0 marks a monrh,
just enough to buy him three meals
in a mediocre restaurant.
"a family of intellectuals-profes.
sional men, teachers and the like
are Supplied with gratitude, to cite
another example, If a visiting for
eigner presents them with a flower,
and flowers, by, reason of the les.
sened demand. are cheap in Ger.
many. For. intellectuals, in Ger.
many, must save every penny for
food and clothing.
"All this contrasts with the inso.
lent luxury of the war profiteers,
who make more money every time
the mark falls, and who have bought
up most Of the factories and so
many of the newspapers that the
majority of the press is now in
their hands.
True, a hatred of everything
French still persists in Germany.
But a reaction is taking place. For
one thing, the few Germans who
have been in France have remarked
that luxury is not as abundant in
this country as they have been led
to believe it was"
The authority then showed how
II had been pointed out to the Ger
man people that many Of the war
profiteers were Jews.
''It was emphasized" he con-
tinued, that many of the attempts
to establish Soviets in Germany
had been made by Jews. Every
one knew that many important
government offices were being held
by Jews, notably Schiedemann,
RathenaA, Messn. Mayer.

His Case

1t is doubtful if there has ever been
medicine endorsed by so many min
listers of the Gospel as has Tanlac.
Indeed, there is scarcely faith, creed
or denomination in all the land in
which one, or more, of the clergymen
has not publicly expressed their in
debtedness to the Premier Prepare
ton for the benefits they have de-
rived from its use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. nj. Bridges,
widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N
c., whose statement follows:
"Tanlac has given me a good appe-
tite, toned up my system and renewed
my strength in such a gratifying way
that l am glad to recommend it tc
anyone who is in a rundown condi-
ton. For ten years past | have hae
such a severe case of indigestion that

very nervous and could get but very
little sleep or rest.
