Prince Shorn of
His Titles by
German Govt

A prince of one of Europe's old
est families is stateless now and
shorn Of his estates. Such is the
fate of a nobeman of Old Austria,
Prince Ernst Rudiger Won Starhem-
berg, whose family dates back more
than LOCO years. something even
the Hapsburgs cannot match.
The prince, now an exile in
France, was disfranchised by Ger
many. The decree came not long
after Won Starhemberg asked per-
mission of the French Surete Ma
tionale % organize an Austrian
brigade to fight against Germany
With the decree. Germany also an
nounced his property had been con-
fiscated.
The princes holdings were not
as vast as they were a few years
back when he was vice-chancellor
of Austria and leader of the Helm
Wehr. IN 1927 he inherited the fam
lily estates which included some 20
coo acres and 10 castles and palac-
es. The most historic of these was
Duernstein Castle on the Danube
in which KING Richard the Lion
Hearted was held prisoner for two
years.
But this double blow, judged
from the history of Won Starhem-
berg's life, will not crush him, for
he loves TO fight. The prince had
won the sobriquet, The Happy
Warrior" when he was 18 years old
At the outbreak of the World Wal
ne was only Is but he managed to
enlist. He saw service. first on the
Eastern front against the Russians
and Rumanians, and later against
Italy on the Pive.
Before the Armistice, Won Star
hemberg had advanced from pri-
Vate to acting lieutenant and Wor
two medals for bravery. Peace, how
ever. did not quench his fighting
desires. ne returned home and then
attended the University Of Munich
where he was active in a guerilla
organization known as the Ober-
land. Then warfare broke out in
Upper Silesia, between the Germans
and Poles and that was enough to
make the prince quit the classroom
for the battlefield.
TURNED TO SPORTS
After his education was complet-
ed, Won Starhemberg refused to
settle down. He devoted his time
to hunting and sports His mark
manshjp became so accurate he
could shoot n bird on the wing
with a rifle. But his love for the
military never died. BY 1929 he had
become state commander of the
Heimwehr in Upper Austria. +

written for the United Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 10. CUP)-Some
90 years ago, with 100000 other
young Americans. 1 went to war
in Europe.
We were told it was a war to
make the world safe for democracy.
a war to end wars. I for one be-
lieved this. theoretically we won
that war.
The condition of the world today
is bitter commentary on the value
of our victory. Not only did we
gain nothing for the world, but we
hurt ourselves and damaged our
own democracy.
Our attitude toward the war in
Europe today will determine the
future of our nation. 1t is there
fore the duty OF every American,
particularly those in power in the
country, to use one yardstick to
measure their decisions.
That yardstick must be the vel
fare of the United States and her
citizens.
Condemns War Talk
Many in America are covertly or
openly urging us to take sides in
this war. The majority of people
urging us to War-like acts are we'll
meaning The premises from which
they reason, however, are entirely
fallacious.
One group is those who have not
become at heart American They
are thinking crooked, because they
are thinking not of America but
Of other countries Next is the group
that says we must be prepared to
go to war to defend other democra-
cies. This is wrong also. Our mis-
sion is to defend American democ-
racy.
Our representative democracy was
shaken by the last war. 1 do not
believe it would survive another.
During a war we should have to
adopt dictatorial form of govern

ment. The economic chaos following
war would rivet that dictatorship
upon US.
Attack Unthinkable
Another argument used by the
people who believe we should take
sides in the war is that if England
and France were defeated Germany
and Russia would be hammering
at our shores Immediately, 1t would
be impossible for a navy less than
two or three times our strength
to attempt to engage our vessels
near the shores of our nation. OBJ
viously, this being the case, such
thing as an eXpeditionary force
to attack us is unthinkable.
Many of our people have been
mislead into believing that fleets
of airplanes could assail us. They
could not take off from a great
distance and arrive in this country
carrying sufficient bombs to in
iure us and sufficient fuel to re-
turn to their bases. The power of
the airplane has been greatly eXag-
gerated. Neither Franco in Spain
nor the japanese in China were
able, with the control of the air,
to destroy railroads that were vital
to their plans.
With the Atlantic and Pacific
to bulWark us, we can defend our
selves from aggression either from
Europe or Asia, and we can defend
South America as well.
NO Need For War
There is no reason whatsoever
that America need be dragged into
war, providing she makes up her
mind that she will not be. Our at
titude. must not be that I'VE hope
we can keep the United States out

cloaked IN secrecy by strict
censorship, told of skirm-
ishes between Britain's war;
ships and Nazi planes. Re-
ports from each nation
claimed victory and losses
for the opposition.
Battleships, zapata said, are
equipped we'll enough to fight off a
single plane, possibly two, but
would be at the mercy of squa-
dron of planes,
at would be like so many ants
carrying off a chunk of cake" he
said.
Using his hands 10 demonstrate
a zooming bomber, zapata eX-
lained how planes would power
dive to within target distance of a
ship, drop bombs then. speed out
of range of the anti-aircraft guns
Other planes would follow until the
ship was blasted from the water
Accurate up to 10000 Feet
Each ship is equipped with two
or three anti-aircraft sections, the
recruiting officer said, and with SO
calibre machine guns to fight off
loW-flying planes. The anti-air-
craft guns are accurate up to 10000
feet, and could therefore stand off
the attack Of a single plane be-
cause the airship would have to re-
main too high in the air to bomb
accurately Attacks are never made
by single planes, however.
Zapata compared bombing by
plane to target shooting with a ri
fle. AT close distances, it is compa-
ratively simple to score a direct hit,
he explained, but at longer distances
it is more difficult to score a bulls
eye" 1t is nearly impossible to
score bulls-eye at 10000 feet.
when the target is a zig-zagging
ship, he added.
A destroyer or cruiser might make
an escape from planes occasional
ly, zapata believed, because they
are faster and can present a more
difficult target. BattleshipS are too
ponderous, however, to be effect
i've dodgers.
A fleet Of battleshipS might stand
off the attack of squadron of
planes, zapata said, because they
would have a sufficient number of
anti-aircraft sections to keep the
planes out of striking distance.
Prefers The Plane
The recruiting officer leaned
back in his chair to add:"But I'd
still rather be in one of the planes
than on a ship"
Swinging from water defenses
against an attack by planes, zapata
explained that locations on land can
be more successfully defended by
antiaircraft sections.
On land, zapata said, sufficient
sections can be installed to prohibit
planes from penetrating lower than
10000 feet.
In the event of war a town the
size of Ell Centro could be defend
ed by 16 anti-aircraft sections.
The anti-aircraft guns shoot 25
or thirty rounds of ammunition
per minute zapata pointed out,
and 16 sections could fling a good
deal of shrapnel into the air. 1T
would be suicide for a plane to ven-
ture lower than 10000 feet" he
declared.
But there seems little danger
that we will ever be forced to de-
fend Ell Centro' zapata concluded.

has acted as its president since.
This association has done much to
raise the level and the ethics OF
public dog handlers. u has done
even more in the way OF taking care

It was due to Rrumby's efforts that
the Children's Handling Glasses
have become so important part Of
our shows.
