Germany Goes to War.

Long latent possibilities that the
little World War" in Spain would
sooner or later be translated from a
nickname into reality are brought
perilously nearer by Germanys reprisal
for the bombing of the battleship
Deutschland by Spanish government
planes. In grim retaliation for that
attack, a Nazi fleet yesterday shelled
the 1oyalist seaport of Almeria, killing
many persons, wounding hundreds of
others and causing widespread devasta-
ton Of property.
The grave international situation pro-
voked by these events is disuuietinelv
obvious. Hitler has not waited for an
inquiry into the underlying facts. He
proceeds in typically mailed-f1st fashion
to take the law into his own hands.
Perhaps intoxicated by the patriotic
emotions generated hv the anniversary
Of the Battle of Jutland, Berlin did not
choose to let the Nom intervention Com
mittee at London establish % exactly
what business the Deutschland had in
the harbor of Iviza, (2) whether, as
Valencia claims, the battleship fired
first on the government planes, or 90
whether the bombing of the German
craft was wanton and unjustifed. Ber-
lin, manifestly eager to display Nazi
armed power and demonstrate that it
may not be challenged with impunity,
preferred to rush heedlessly into action,
the precipitancy of which is fraught
with menace to European peace.
The Deutschland is one of the Ger
man warships taking part in the in
ternational patrol of the Spanish coasts.
1t is not yet clear whether the identical
area in which she was attacked was or
was not within the German beat" A
squadron of British, Italian and Ger
man patrol vessels fell afoul Loyalist
airplanes near Mallorca few days ago,
resulting in the death of six Italian
officers. There have been other more
or less similar incidents involving for
eign ships. 1t has remained for the
Germans alone to take ruthless protest
measures, in cynical disregard of the
consequences to which retaliatory
'frightfulness" can lead
Without any attempt prematurely to
pass judgment on the Righteousness of
the Nazi measures, it is undeniable that
Germ lilo Tto1y- hoe
state of undeclared war against Spain
for months. The Fascist dictatorships
not only recognized General Franco as
a belllgerent, but supported him with
forces which notoriously are the back
bone of the insurgent campaign. With
out such aid rebel resistance would have
collapsed long ago. German aircraft
has been particularly active, notably in
the Basque country, scoring at Guernca
record for savagery in attacks on help
less civilians that shocked the world.
Even if it be determined that Loyal
list planes violated international law in
bombing the Deutschland all these
things need to be remembered as ex-
tenuating circumstances in the Spanish
governments favor. 1t was not Madrid
or Valencia that made war on Germany.
The shoe is on the other foot-on two
feet, In fact, the additional one being
In Italy. If the unthinkable-a general
European conflict-emerges as the result
OF Germany's procedure, there will be
an almost irresistible inclination in the
outside world to place the blame pri-
marily in Berlin and Rome.

VENERABLE but modern capi. tai, Germany's Berlin passes the seventh century mark this year: a city grown out of two fishing villages on the banks of the river Spree.
 Coelln and Berlin became rustic villages in the early 1300s. Coelln actually had started in i237 and Berlin a little later. In the 14th century the two consolidated emerged eventually into towns and in the 18th century took on the first aura of governmental i'm. portance.
 In that era the Hector of Bran. denburg made Berlin his official residence. But Berlin was not yet to be a city of great impor- tance. Not until the close of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 did 1t leap into prominence. Even al the time of Frederick the Great ii numbered scarcely l5o,000 inhab. itants. But a few decades later and it had reached the staggering total of 4,000, ,000.

and is Immediately chased away from

the singer dies quietly, while Sid Sill

passes and everybody grows up, and

band in speak-easy operated by Mr..
Silvers and his vaudeville partner, and
Mr.. Hunters daughter turns out to be
Maria Shelton, who wants to sing and
dance despite the fact her father
wants her to be lady.
While this is going on Mr.. Hunter
goes broke, uses his wine cellar to
start speakeasy and gets rich and
keeps on getting rich and supports his
sisters without letting them know it
and finally every one talks to every
one else again. And we don't know
