WAR SPIRIT ALIVE

Existence of War Material

HATE is VOICED DAILY
Proposed Weapon Search Foolish in

BY Cable to The Sta
BERLIN, July 5.-Militarism and
anti-semitism have been the chief
topics OF the week. The number of
people is small. especially in Amer
lea, who have time or inclination to
examine the details of the notes
which have passed between the am
bassadors' conference and Berlin.
The weapon search has become al
most ridiculous in Germany on ac-
count of the long delay. 1t is i'm
possible for the most experienced
technicist to say how and in what
degree German industrialists could
change their factories to produce
weapons and munitions of war. 1t
matters little whether a few dozen
cannon of almost venera BILE age or a
rev thousand guns of 1916 are
brought to light in comparison with
the question whether bellicose
healthy Germans which the most
Nlgllant and the most strict control
could not uproot and which history
proves everywhere from Sparta to
russia always leaves the possibility
OF arming and attempting war.
DisaVowal of such a spirit will not
convince those who are threatened.
In contradiction of the government
GENIAL, wanting to make believe that
nlne-tenthS of the secret oreaniza-
tions in Germany are only harmless
symnastic and sport associations, are
uaiiy reports of revenge and hatred
speeches and pictures published

Such pictures illustrate stangely
the German note regarding military
control. 1t is not surprising that
zen. Nollet hesitates to end this con-
troll on September so.
The writer hopes it will be realized
that physio-chemical war prepara-
tions would be much more important
than real or apparent miItarism OF
the old style The nationalist move
ment. in keeping alive suspicion of
Germany. does an immense service to
western powers by horrible Jew bait
Ing. Prof. Willstatter the famous
chemical scientist, who was once
honored with the Nobel prize. re-
signed his post as professor of the
Munich University because two stu
dents, recommended by him as teach
ers, were refused by the professors
assembly because they were Jews
and consequently foreigners. This
idea was proclaimed by the most edu-
Gated men amidst applause of mil
lions. although since three-quarters

tion has given the same rights fand

though 1900 Jews tthe number of
Jews in Germany is not ] per cent
of the popuation) fell for the father
land. in which they now are disquali-
hed as foreigners.
Great Jews Under Ban.
The writer will only call attention
to the men coming under this ban.
Germany's physicist genius Einstein;
the most successful chemic- scientist
Haber; the great surgeon. Borchardel;
the worlds renowned medical re-
Searcher, WaZermann, are Jews.

was a Jew. This is only a small
selection of names.
Outlawing these men make physio-
chemical war preparations more diff
ficult. The steel helmet parade of
the gymnastics provides no substitute.
The popular circular explaining
Noelkischen idea speaks of a loyal
association of Voelkischen for nude
culture. Nude air baths. No Jews
allowed"
Those who are not blind must see
that Neo- militaryism and Jew batting
proceed from the same root, from
selfish desire to put the blame for
Germany's defeat on the democratic
republic instead of on the military
monarchy system.
