Someone says something about
beer and I offer to send out for
a gallon to celebrate my trip. I'm
really celebrating my success in
finally getting the list of post
leaders.
On earlier visits to Bund head
quarters, clerks put me off with
variety of excuses, even though I
tell them I am sent there by
Schwarzmann. I am particularly
interested in the number of camps,
having heard Kuhn himself say in
a speech the Bund operates 18
camps. Later the number in
creased to 81. found only nine.
"Oh, there are just a few
camps" one Weckruf official
tells me. "Siegfried, Nordland,
one in Philadelphia, Chicago,
Detroit and Los Angeles"

Fred Moore, Astoria storm troop

my difficulty at headquarters.
'I guess they just don't know
you," Moore says. 'They have a
list all right. In fact, I have
one myself. But the list is given
out only with an okay from Fritz
Kuhn"
That day noticed an auto with
a Mexican license parked on
Eigthy-fifth Street, near Bund
headquarters. There are nazi
swastikas on the front and back
windows and two children in the
car are dressed in Bavarian cos
tunes. I learn about the Bund
tieup with Mexico when I get to
California.

The movement was started
by the Friends of New Ger
many, predecessor of the Bund,
in 1885 to counteract the boy
colt of German goods. Rebate
stamps are issued to customers
who purchase in Bund ap-
proved stores.
Most recent support for the cam
paign came from Donald Shea,
Baltimore, founder Of the Ma
tional Gentle League, Inc, who
spoke at the Bund's Camp Nord-
land September 5. He was widely
cheered when he announced his
organization would join the Bund'S
boycott.
Shea wore a black overseas cap
labeled American Fascist" and
demanded the Immediate depor-
tation Of European Jews"
Rebate Stamps Issued
Bund rebate stamps are issued
by the Deutscher Konsum Ver-
band, a German-American bust
ness league, organized to supplant
the Deutch Amerikanisher Writ
schafts Ausschuss, the DAWA,
sponsored by an earlier American
Nazi organization. Consumers re-
ceive $1.25 in cash for every stamp
filled book.
The stamps carry the word
"Efdende," q code word which is
6eciphered by dropping all e's,
leaving FDND, or Freunde DeS
Neuen Deutschland" Efdende also
is the name of the Bund's camp
near Detroit.
Radio, movies, schools, speeches
and printed material Of it
direct from Berlin-are used by
the Bund to broadcast its boycott
propaganda and that of the Ger"
man national socialist party.
Special North American Pro

radio stations, DJL, DUB and DJD.
are distributed by the Bund so
that loyal American Nazis may
hear the truth" about national
socialism.
Describes "ApprOach"
Henry Lage, fuehrer Of the San
Francisco Bund, boasted that the
Bund had three radio programs on
the coast.
Lage said he was in charge of
the San Francisco program and
that the Bund also broadcaSted
from Los Angeles and San Diego.
Discussing the problem of prop
agandizing the majority of Ger
man-Americans who "are not with
U.s." Lage declared:
"The best method of approach
Is an attack on the Jews, because
nearly everybody is against the
Jews. Once a man admits to
VOL he doesn't like the Jews,
you've got him halfway on your
side. Then you can talk German
names to him and he will listen
to you."
German movie theaters In the
larger cities are supplied with films
which picture the delights Of Nad
Germany. In addition, Bund posts
in all parts of the country obtain
Nazi films for semi-public show
ings to members and sympathizers.
One of the most popular Ger
man talking pictures of the past
summer was "Soldaten-Kamera-
den" billed as the first film of
the new German army. It showed
the comradeship built up among
all classes of youth by the forced
training in Hitler's new war
machine.
During an intermiSsion at a
showing of "Soldaten-Kameraden"
at the Eighty-sixth Street Garden
Theater, New York city, Hams
Muenz, actor and lecturer, con-

clared. "You know, the Bund
has an agent who goes back and
forth between America and, Ger
many to arrange for the right,
kind of films. He can get us
what we want. A Gentle Ger
man now is looking around Pitts
burgh for suitable site. And If
he opens one he'll make sue
cess Of it,"
Bund speakers base many of
their addresses on propaganda
sent out by the press bureau Of the
National Socialist party in Berlin.
Carl (Papa) Nicolay, South Brook
lyn Bund leader, who returned
from Germany late last spring,
turned over to q member q mass of
propaganda material which he
said would help him become a
Bund speaker.
Nicolay said he was the chief
national speaker for the Bund in
the United States and he also con-
Quoted a Bund school on public
speaking and writing.
Offers to Speak
In Germany, he said, he acted
as interpreter and as a mes
senger of good will and under
standing between the U. S. A. and
Germany"
Nicolay explained the policies of
New Germany" in a lecture be-
fore the class in comparative
education at New York Univer-
sity February "a, 1896, and Of
fered to speak again this year
after he had observed conditions
in Germany on his 10-month lee
ture tour.
Propaganda distributed at Bund
meetings includes leaflets printed
in Hamburg, Germany, by the
"Fichte Assn. union for world
veracity," under such titles as
"Bolshevik Atrocities in Spain,"
"Jewry and Penal Punishment,
Truth About Germany" and
"Adolph Hitler Warns the World
Of the Menace of Bolshevism. !"
The leaflets are printed both in
English and German and carry
the notation, please distribute
amongst your friends"
Other literature" displayed on
long tables at all Bund meetings
includes copies of speeches by
ReichSfuehrer Hitler and his
minister Of propaganda and pub
lie enlightenment, DR.. Joseph
GoebbelS.
Called Prisoners
Anyone who criticizes the
Bund's program of HitIerizing
youth and adults in America is
accused of attempting to poison
the public MIND" while the
Bund's propaganda purports to
be designed to save the U. S.
Government from communism"
Cardinal Mundelein, Samuel I'm
termeyer, Samuel DickStein and
Mayor LaGuardia of New York
were grouped together by Kuhn
as "poisoners of the public mind"
in his speech at the Bund's own
German day celebration in Chica-
go'S Harms Park, September S.
They mold the public opin-
ion of stupid people as they
WISH" Kuhn declared. But they
cannot accomplish much. We
are too strong for them. We have
only good German people in this
organization and we are loyal
to German traditions and Ger
man ideals"
Despite its public contention
that its activities are always open
to inspection in its drive for new
members, the Bund is intensely
suspicious Of strangers.

organization unless they know

Let's divide the 500 and see what
we get. Your winter coat will be the
biggest item, but you will only need one
every three years and then you should
buy it during the mid-winter sales when
you can purchase a $65 coat for $50
That means you will allow $40 year
for winter coat. A spring coat pur-
chased the same way can be had for
SIS and it will be one of the better
coats so it too will last three years
There should be pairs of shoes and
these also should be bought on sale, sc
the quality will be good and the shoes
will wear long. We will put the sale
price of the shoes at $3.50. A suit pur-
chased on sale for $l8 dollars will do
for three years and bring the cost to Sc
a year. One hat is sufficient for winter
and two for summer, with the price
about $1.98 each. Now let's see what
We have:
winter coat at yearly cost of $40;

Labor circles over the rift in the party
in Minneapolis, where on Sunday two
Farmer-Labor candidates for Mayor
were endorsed. One faction, the Ben

the Hjalmer Petersen faction, endorsed
the present mayor, Mr.. Latimer. The
latter faction held that the Haycraft
supporters are too friendly to Com

the party through their radicalism. In

Minneapolis, March 25-How to dress
smartly but inexepensively is problem
that faces most women and a problem
that most women cannot solve. Yet
there Is way to solve 1t. Let us say
your clothes budget Is one hundred dol
lars a year. When you think Of lin
gerie, shoes, hats, stockings, coats,
dresses, handbags and gloves for cold
as well as warm weather it seems that,
large as one hundred dollars sounds, it
just won't do all of the things you want
1t to do. So after awhile you give up
and slump into wearing just any old
thing and you convince yourself that
women who have money. Now every
woman if she is truthful with herself
knows she wants to look nice. She
knows that looking smart and we'll
dressed gives her confidence in her
self and sends her out to conquer
worlds she didn't even want to enter
before.
The first thing to remember when
you are dressing on small budget is
that you must take care of your clothes
as you would your life. Keep that pair
of shoes repaired. Don't let the heels
stay run down and half-sole the shoes
before you have ruined them beyond
repair. Keep a good reliable dry clean
er in the house and keep your clothes
fresh and crisp. Don't wear wrinkled
dress. Fastidious care of your clothes
will double their life and make you
look more fashionable in last years
dress than the woman wearing a new
model that needs cleaning and pressing.
