if war came they would probably
lose. But from the moment the
first German army boot struck
Czech soil the entire European set
UP changed so violently that no
German staff officer is ever likely
to feel it necessary to advise Hit

That in itself is tremendously
important. He has won reputa-

She now has the odds with her
for the first time. Fear OF war,
the last and only check to her am

After each former aggression
Germany solemnly swore she was
now satisfied, had no more terrific
rial claims, and would never do
it again. Once more Hitler has
publicly declared he has no more
territorial claims in Europe. But
now Germany could win war.
Why?
Primarily because Hitler has
cowed Europe. Success grows
upon success, and Hitler's sue
cesses now come more and more
rapidly. When he came to power
In 1888 he told the ReichStag the
German people have no thought
of invading any country" In 1884
he repeated: After the Saar queS-
