The Nazis plan to overwhelm England just as rapid y as they overran Poland. No concealment is made of the fact that they have something very big up heir sleeves One man connected with the high command even talks of German guns at Calais in two months Most people, however, say that the Maginot Line is impregnable One or two declare that it is not as good at the Siegried Line, having been built eight ten years ago, and go so far as to say that a technical means of preaching it will be found which I take it. foretells tremen- dous war in the air using thousands and thousands of airpanes to overwhelm all opposition to search out the British army wherever it may be in France and utterly to destroy it.
 "As for the invincible British navy, the Nazs are certain that they can build submarines faster than the British sink them and that next June or July there will be which will put an end to the British Empire in very short order, if it has survived until then"
 Life in Berlin is reported to be going on as usual Food is plentiful and the rationing system has been worked out so well that complaints against it heard any longer
 All in all" he writes, the picture get of Ger many is one of tremendous yes dangerous strength, Of power organized with great efficiency for the purpose in hand The industrial development in the past few years has been most remarkable. Berlin is being torn down and rebuilt and there is no question that the Nazis deserve credit for beautfy ing the city. If their tremendous organizing talent, force and driving power were only devoted to hu mane altruistc and peaceful ends they would go far indeed. The reservoir of man-power seems nothing less than extraordinary There are sup posed to be between two and one-han and three million men under arms in the west alone, to say nothing of the troops in Poland CzechoSoyakia and other conquered territories; yet sees countless young of military age still in civilian clothes ;

GERMANY HAS POWER

An estimate Of the relative strengths of Ger many and her enemies depends great deal upon the point of view Most of what we read the subject comes either from Englshmen who are naturally swayed by their symrathies or from Ger mans whose claims have learned are not liable
 One obseryor who should be distinctly partial to the Allies Oswald Garrison Willard hoaryhead ed liberal American Willard is making tour of the beligerent countries writing article each. In the current issue of The Nation appears his dis patch from Berlin written october 25, and which obviously has passed through no censorship as it says harsh things about both sides in the war
 Far from predicting imminent collapse of the Reich Willard sees unsuspected strength in Hitler's nation His article is captioned significantly Ger many Has Power"
 "The military men here and many others" writes Willard, "are absolutely confident that Ger many will win the war; some think in two months sohexs %jH sa syeasA shestin others in year and half found no one who believes that Germany can be starved out not even anti-Nazis I have talked with people who eager for Hter's defeat but they all say that the British blockade will not succeed They believe that with the German people so well regimented and obedient and everything rationed at the start there will be enough food to pull through It will be hard going. Belts will have to be frightened more than once, but as Gorng said, there are plenty of Germans who can afford to lose good many pounds particularly himself and those who can't afford to do so will just have to be hungry and stand it. No protests will be tolerated.
 Willard notes that the industriasts believe, too, that practically all the necessary materials be obtained by hook by crook The industrialsts, he says, all badly scared by the pact with Rus sia, in fact Willard could not find any except the military who approve that treaty but all agree that it was a military necessity forced upon Ger many by the British negotiations with Stalin
 Opposition to Hitler is strong everywhere, Willard writes estimating that the lowest possible figure of anti-Nazis is 75 percent of the German people and estimates Of as high as 90 percent against Hitler have been given him But one great industrial ist said to Willard What can you do when the other fellow has the revolyers?"

 It is true that he ruled large slice of the American underworld through years of successful defiance such has seldom humiated modern state.
 Even now, they say, his release may touch off wave of gang killings. How much of that prospect is real, how much of it is Hollywood nobody knows. But it does seem slightly out of proportion that a broken-down parete, who has been in prison seven years. is worth all the bother that now surrounds Capone.

The rulers of Western Poland are reported to have destroyed the statue of Woodrow Wilson which stood in Wilson Park at Posen The statue was artistic eyesore," they say, because the American sculptor made the legs too short the body too long and the head too large"
 The Wilson statue, made by Gutzon Borglum, seemed all right to the Poles, who accepted it through their first Premier Ignace Jan PaderewSki, and who gave Mir Borglum Polish decoration They saw nothing wrong with Wilson's legs and apparent ly nothing wrong with his head, either Now comes the German army of occupation, with airplanes, tanks heavy artillery and machine guns, and es- tablishes in Posen a new law of eSthetics Let the artists in little countries bordering triumphant Germany look to their chisels and their palettes. The only art that will survive is that which has the approval of a jury of gunners.
