THE Czech intelligence serv-
l. ice is undoubtedly the
best in Europe. 1t has to be
if Czechoslovakia is to remain
alive. Small, and surrounded
by enemies, the nation has to
be constantly on the alert as
it was on the dramatic night OF
mobilization, May 20.
Now the Vzechs have discov-
cred the new evidence of how
deep-laid, persistent, and mex
orable is the German campaign
for the conquest of Czechoslo-
Hakia.
They have unearthed the organ
1zation In Germany Of a "Sudeten
German Legion" consisting Of
Nazi storm troopers, supposedly Of
Sudeten origin, whose purpose Is
to arm and drill and wait for the
day when the Czechs may be
caught mapping.
Czechs Alert
For "Signa"
Czechs believe that the German
plan in May was to bring large
numbers Of these "Sudeten legion
aries" or regular German storm
troops in civilian clothes, but
carrying Q double supply Of rifles
and hand grenadeS to the border,

Why German Plan
Failed in May

That, according to the Czech be-
lief, and the belief Of most neu:
trail observers, was the German
plan for May. It failed because
thu Czech army modified, and
there was no chance either for the
Nax legionnaireS or storm troops
In civilian clothes to come across
the border, nor for the German
army itself to do so unhindered
as It did in Austria.
The plan has not been aban-
doned. It may be exchanged for
a better one. But the apparatus
for the repetition Of this original
plan is still on hand, according to
the CzechS.
The "Sudeten German Legion,
they report, consists Of eight
standards" or regiments, distr1b-
uted throughout the Reich and
manned by former Sudetens. II
they were at full strength, eight
standards would mean about 49,
900 men, but actual strength
would probably be a fraction Of
this.
Most interesting for the Czechs
IS the second standard with head

and there await the signal from
their German brothers who occupy
the narrow strip Of Czechoslovakia
along the frontier.
The signal would come in the
Ghape Of a series of armed clashes
provoked by the Sudeten German
volunteer defense CORPS" as they
call the local version Of the STORM
troops, with the Czech police.
Upon receiving the signal, the
legionnaires and storm troops
from Germany would pour across
the border, and, mingling with the
Sudetens, give them arms. There
uopn the riots would grow more
severe, and the Czech police prob
ably would be compelled to fire,
and perhaps to call On the army.
At any rate, German blood would
flow, and the highest authorities
Of the Reich have declared that
would mean German intervention.
