ment of 1000 Officers as

Secretary Of War Hurley last night
assailed the proposed retirement Of
1000 Regular Army officers as an econ

In radio address. the Secretary said
his department is "Unalterably opposed
to the retirement Of 1000 Regular Off
GERS to get a questionable savings of
100000
The retirement of these officers is
not economy" he said 1T is extrava-
gance 1t cripples national defense"
Turning to the Garner bill Hurley
said instead of the s4,000,000 the War
Department needs. the Speaker would
give it more than s537 100000
He includes public projects the War
Department cannot honestly favor"
Hurley said He adds public projects
that Congress itself has eliminated
He would impose a terrific
financial burden upon the taxpayer
without offering a prospect of a rea
sonable return on our public invest
ment.
The tremendous expenditures Speak
er Garner recommends would not in
crease employment in any manner
commensurate with the enormous
amount Of money involved. The Garner
bill would substitute wasteful extrava-
gance for intelligent. well balanced and
productive construction"

This is soaking the poor with a ven-
geance and does violence to ones sense
of justice.
In some instances the night-work
employees will also lose their earned

total loss in earnings of $500 for the
next fiscal year. Thus. instead of re-
celving S2,l00 next year. their pay will

The dramatic resignation of Herr

Europe. According to well informed re-
ports, the reaction in France, while un-
pleasant. is one Of wait and see"
Neither Herriot nor any Of his followers
appear to be overeXcited. On the con-
trary, the day after the resignation of
the Bruening cabinet, Edouard Herriot
made a speech couched in the most con-
cilliatOry tones. He gave the Germans
TO understand in clear terms that
France does not intend to follow a
policy of bleeding Germany to death by
stating that France does not intend
to establish her own prosperity at the
expense Of the suffering OF any other
natiCn."
Herriots speech is, however, consid
cred in many nationalistic quarters in
Germany as just a propaganda speech
to influence the German electorate at
the coming elections. and thus help in
directly the Socialist and Centrist
parties against the Nationalists and the
Nazis.
The French Nationalists see in the
move of Herr Bruening another sign
of German duplicity." They say that
Herr Bruening refrained from resigning
although it was clear that his position
had been difficult for many months,
until the French elections were over.

NEW CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY
KNOWN TO u. S. SECRET SERVICE
Col. Franz Won Papen Backed
Sabotage and Destruction
in American Factories.
Former Military Attache Also
Believed Inventor of Ex,
pIosive Pencils.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Col. Franz Won Papen, the new chan
cellor of the German Republic, is the
only European prime minister who en-
joys the doubtful honor Of being well
known to the American and the British
secret services
AS military attache in Washington,
he was instrumental in organizing an
efficient spy service and from his ac-
counts at the RiggS National Bank it
has been proved that he had prov.de
with funds all kinds of dubious charac-
ters to sabotage or destroy American
ammunition and war material factories,
water works, bridges and electric plants.
He is supposed to have been the in
ventor of the famous pencils which were
sold or given to Workmen in factories
and which when rubbed against the
pockets of the coat exploded. He also
organized the wholesale poisoning Of
mules and horses with anthrax germs
The files of Col. Won Papen and his
naval colleague, now deceased, Capt
Bov-Ed, if published, are sufficient to
make first-class thriller.
Is Man of Ability.
BY a queer turn the wheel Of fate has
now brought Col. Won Fapen from a
more or less obscure retirement into the
limelight by giving him probably the
most responsible position in Europe. In
the present state CT instability, nervous
tension and reStlessneSS which prevails
throughout the world. the position Of
chancellor of the German reich requires
man with tact ability and profound
sense of responsibility.
There is no doubt that Chancellor
hac ahi
Is his tact and sense of responsibility
remains to be seen.
It is true the new German cabinet
is stop-gap government. Nobody ex-
poets Col Won Papen to remain in
office very long. President Won Hin
denburg intruSted him with high Of
flee merely because the other Conserva-
tives and Htlerites did not want to
accept the responsibility of forming
a cabinet at present.
The new German government will
have to go before the ReichStag in
the course of the next few weeks and
because the Nationalists and the Hit
leriteS have not got a clear majority,
it is certain that it will be overthrown.
The overthrOWing of the cabinet is
going TO be followed by a new elec-
tion. which. according TO the prezent
indication. will result in favor of the
parties of the right and of Hitler It
is because President Won Hindenburg
realized that the trend in Germany is
toward the right and Hitlerism that
he withdrew his confidence in Herr
Bruening and refused to ratifv the new
decree laws which the former chan
cellor considered essential in order TO
continue to govern Germany.
Merely Paving Way.
