COURT RULING

BY HAUPTMANN
Lindbergh kidnapping SuS-
pect Carries His Fight to
Higher Bench.
PROSECUTOR CONFIDENT
Judge Denies Move for Writ
of HabeaS Corpus by
Bruno'S Lawyer.
By United Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 17-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann carried his
fight against eXtradition into the
appellate court this afternoon CO.
incident with hints that New Jer-
sey was concealing important evil
dence linking him TO the murder
of the Lindbergh baby.
New Jersey won a victory in the
proceedings to extradite .HaupJ-
mann on murder charges when Su-
preme Court Justice Ernest E. L.
Hammer last night denied the re-
quest of the suspects counsel for a
writ of habeas corpus, which would
have nullifled the eXtradition war
rant.
James M. Fawcett, Hauptmann'S
attorney, won stay until p. m.
Friday to permit an appeal from the
decision. The appeal probably will
be argued in appellate court Friday
and, if rejected, Hauptmann will be
taken Immediately to Pennington,
Hunterdon county, N. j., and will be
tried three or four weeks hence.
Belief that Attorney General
David T. Wilentz of New Jersey,
had kept IAN ace in the hole" in
the hearings before Justice Ham
mer was increased by the confident
attitude of the dark. aggressive lit
tie prosecutor.
Wears Confident Air
Mr.. Wilentz declined to confirm
that he had undiScloSed evidence,
but he turned questions away with a
smile and Shrug and expressions of
confidence that Hauptmann could
be convicted if he was brought to
trial in New Jersey.
Mr.. Faawcett, expressing disap-
pointment, said he would use every
means of fighting extradition and,
if the appeal failed, even might car
ry the case to the United States
supreme court. His attitude indi-
Gated that he had been forced to
use virtually all the defense evil
dence in the hearing.
Justice Hammers decision came
last night after two days of testi-
mony in which Hauptmann had de-
pended chiefly upon his own en-
phatic denials- that he was in New
Jersey on the date of the crime;
that he wrote the ransom notes;
that he kidnapped the baby; that he
killed the baby; that he had been
seen near the Lindbergh home short
ly before the kidnapping and that he
knew anything" about the crime.
Branded Note Writer
In opposition to these defense con-
tentions, supported chiefly by the
testimony of Hauptmann's wife,
Anna, the New Jersey officials pre-
sented handwriting expert to show
the suspects writing was the same
as that of the ransom notes: a
neighbor of Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh to swear that he saw
Hauptmann near the scene of the
crime; police and detectives to tes-
tify concerning the discovery Of
ransom money in Hauptmanns pos
session.
Mr.. Wilentz placed chief emphasis
on the testimony of Albert S. Os-
borne, handwriting expert, that
Hauptmann wrote a ransom note
saying the writer had been in the
Lindbergh nursery-which the at
torney-general termed IAN admis-
sion and confession

Soviet Rule in Germany Certainty,

That is the categorical forecast
made by Will Muenzenberg, for 10
years Communist deputy in the
Reichstag and later a leading anti
Fascist editor in Germany, in an
article entitled After Hitler
What?' appearing in the current
issue of New Masses.
The article, which analyses the
current German situation, asserts
also that the Communist Party of
Germany, though illegalized, was
kept intact structurally, having at
present 5000 dues-paying mem

basis, a narrower basis, without the
mass support, but with flrmer
basis.
THE finance capitalists, the lords
of heavy industry, the high gen.
erals of the Reichswehr, the high
bureaucrats and Junkers had to get
rid of the Storm Troops because
the millions Of Storm Troopers had
been disappointed, had been sub
verted by dissatisfaction and Com
munist propaganda. Hitler has said
the Storm Troops would march
again through the streets of Ger
many after their vacation. He will
let a few dozens walk along the
streets as samples, but what is i'm
portant is that the political role of

finished. Today the role of the

CHAPTER II. FOR. GOD, KING AND COUNTRY
The fact of the uneven development of capitalist
society led again and again to the disturbance of the
so-caed balance of power in the sphere of world poll
TICS it was also the cause of the origin of the first
world war, for which the shot at sarajevo was only
the starting signal.
The Entente entered the war with the slogan of
the liberation of all oppressed peoples. The Central
Powers issued the call to for the struggle for
place in the sun" The issue in the World War was
proclaimed to be one of national interests of honor
and glory The widest masses of the people in every
country obeyed the call of their governments and be-
Ieved it their duty to sacrifice themselves for the
greater glory of the so-caled fatherand The wives
and mothers bestrswed with the path of their
husbands and going to the trenches on the con-
hdent assumption that the war would only last
few months and that the fighters returning from the
front would receive the warm thanks Of the father
land" The working class, which, the basis of the
resolutions against war adopted by the Second In
ernational at the Congresses of Stuttgart and Basic
had hoped that when the time came these resoIu-
tons would be followed by deeds, betrayed by
the Second international Only the Bolsheviks in

ism and rallied the masses to struggle against the
imperialist and for the formation of a new in

Nov. H. 1918, lie, 1865 days, and when the had
come to an end humanity could draw up the follow

The immediate war expenditure devoured the
total national income of the warning countries for

Army Colonel Tells How the Nest Var

Tells of Huge Sums to

By JEROME ARNOLD

They've got it all figured out to
the last penny, those big advertising
men.
Take it from William H. Ranken,
one of the biggest When America
steps into war with any foreign
nation, it'll find the advertising
men blowing the trumpets for all
they're worth.
1t always makes Ranken proud to
tell of their-especially his services
in the last war. Greatest thing
advertising men ever did for their
country" he says.
"And you can bet you boots they'll
do even better in the next warl"
And you may be sure Ranken
means it. For not only is he one
of the leading advertising patriots
who served his country in the
last war, but he's an army colonel,
too.
Far From the Front
Service? Oh, no! Colonel Ranken
never even saw the inside of a she'll
hole. He did his bit very safely
and profitably-from this side. The
Colonel" is an honorary rank-a
reward for his services" as an adj
vertising man during the war.
Colonel Ranken is not of the SOL
dier type. He's a little below me-
dunn in height, with sandy hair and
blue eyes and a round jolly face that
emits a continuous stream of light,
joking patter-like magician in
the midst of a favorite trick.
At & glance, you would pick him
out as salesman, insurance agent
or advertising man. The perfect
Rabbit type.
1t was during a class in "adver-

sity. Ranken was invited to deliver

supposed to talk on the role of the

Wars the Crinlean War, the Danish War of 1854
the between Prussia and Austria is 1866, the

If all those killed in the World War were buried
in separate graves it would require a cemetery of
100 square kilometres.
During the war; some 100000 persons were
withdrawn from the process of production while
those who were allowed to work were occupied in the
preparation of the munitions and tools for mass
murder.
For the production Of these enormous quantities
of war material there were withdrawn in 1914-1S
from normal production, in France 100000 workers,
in England 100000 workers, and in America 100000
workers The German army alone used up in the
World War total of 2860OOOOO shells of an es-
timated value of over 24,0O0000OO0 marks. The de-
struction due to the World War was enormous; no
up to the present day has been able to calculate
it exactly. Thus for example in Northern France
there we're destroyed 100000 dwelling houses 100000
other buildings IS 900 kilometres of roads and rail-
ways, 22160 factories and 300 railway bridges That
is the balance for stretch of country alone what
would the figures look like if Belgium Russia the
whole of the Balkans and the Near East were taken
into the calculation? During the first two years the
World War involved daily cost of 123,0000oo gold
dollars; in 1918 the figure had risen to 244OoOOOo
daily, ie every hour 100000 were blown into the
air. The direct costs of the war are calculated at
not less than $1s6 oOOOOo 0OO the indirect costs at
$4,000 000OO0 The war devoured not only the en-
