GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN
 BY Siqrid Schultz ,

who were either secretly or openly disloyal.
 One thing that made 1t relatively easy for the secret staff to save the German army was the eager. ness of the Republics heads to re- tain q strong military force. Their reason was that to them an army symbolized law and order, infinite- ly necessary after four years of war and the disorders of revolution.
 Because of the Republics faith in the army leaders, in the two short months before the end Of the year, the Solidly entrenched secret staff had acquired c mill' tary whiphand.
 Its members had early induced the Republicans to rule that sole dieFs returning from foreign bat- tiefieids could re-enlist as volun. teerS. They thus escaped de- mobilization. And from the seeds of this innocent looking measure grew the Free Corps. and later the Black ReL:hswehr, both of which heavily weighted the whip already in the hands of the militaristS.
 Under the provisions of the Versailles Treaty large numbers Of officers were demobilized. The demobili2ation looked like . peace move. Actually 1t made 1t easier

 "It is shared" he asserted, "by the hundreds of blind persons all over the world, for may case gives them hope that they, too, may see again."
 Matlock was the first Clevelandcr to be operated on but he won't be the last.
 My vision," Matlock said, will be 85 per cent perfect again and I'm Q skilled mechanic. I'll find a place where can help make the implements of war;
 Meanwhile, he is still actually under wraps taking 1t easy, getting himself accustomed to see- ing again, to walking toward C chair he can see instead of grop- ing across the room lin the dark.

 And I'm meeting my friends, whom I recognized only through their voices"
 Matlock sometimes remlnisces of the time he spent in the dark and how different everything turned out" from what he had expected or remembered =
 "There were people met who we're cheerful, whose voices were very gay, and I came to think of them as attractive or even beautis full found out they were just average looking" he said

As an American newspaper correspondent in Berlin from 1919 to 1941, sigrld Schultz saw at first hand the events that led from World War I to World War IT. And she saw the behlnd.the scenes preparation for the com. ing "war-in-peace" that she warns may culmlnte' in World War III. This is the story of Germany's plans to win the peace, plans that even now are being put into effect.
 
 III
 Ludendorff and his friends met first problems first. How could they stir up the people to fight again after q lost war? The answer was astoniShingly simple. Make them believe that the war was not lost, that they had just missed victory by their refusal to fight on to the end.
 This deception, which aumost out hitlerS Hitler, was made pos' sible by the Aliled failure to carry the war onto German soil. The German masses, who hated having lost anyway, were glad to believe, and the deception made t easier for the secret staff to revive their martial spirit.
 That was luck. But most of the RiieceAAeA of the German secret general staff were the ifnfnut0ble results of calculation. Thus, the first deliberate victory of the military group came from 6 clever sort of blindman'S-bluff, by which Q member of the Hedging Repub- lican government, Dr, Matthias E!rzberger. was compelled to sign the ArmiStice in the name of the German government instead of q military leader. This naneuver accomplished. the mil itariSts promptly started spreading the word that the Republic had stabbed the German army in the back"
 To be able to keep the reins of government in hand behind the back of the Republic. the reaction ary forces decided they must keep useful men in useful places. While the masses were still rloting in the streets of Berlin, they pre- vailed upon the Republican lead. CTS to "act for German unity" by inviting the former imperial offi- cials to stay on in office. Only c few refused the invitation.
 By one stratagefn Or another, the leading Republicans had by the end of the year been led to entrust the protection of the new government to imperial ofacerS

 SHOW COLoRs
 Ingenious Patislans always found some means, however, to display the French national colors, Shop win- dows were arranged SO that, by ac- cldent," the goods displayed were in sequence blue white and red. Despite the m6at careful guard, every morning there appeared on th grave Of the Unknown Soldier ct the Arc de Trimophe Q fresh tribute of blue, white and red flowers.
 Street arrests were, of course, commonpiace. The stories of gestapo brutalitles In Paris would ftll vol. tunes. I will, cite only Q few examples which personally witnessed:
 whenever the Allied air forces came over Paris, the French would stand on the streets and watch quietly, but proudly. one night Q man dressed in civilian clothes pointed to bombers overhead and said: That's their liberation Bombs on civilians"
 '"They never bomb the city, but only the factories in the suburbs" !" corrected c young bystander or about IA. Whereupon the civilian proclaimed himself to be Q gesta. DO agent, struck the youth hard in the face, handcuffed him and dragged the boy away with him.
 It goes without saying that no one could express an anti-German opinion without the greatest of caution, It was doubtly hard to hold ones tongue because the Germans seemed to delight in provocation. There was, for example the daily parade of the guard at l o'clock, from the Place dc 10 Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. During this lunch-hour display of arrogance no one was permitted to cross Paris most famous boulevard.
 Simply c snickel brought end- less trouble. one summer afternoon in Ie4i was unable to visit the Observatory gardens. They were shut because Q week earlier some. one had laughed at the sight or

for the secret stan to remobilize them without detection. Many of the highest ranking received pen. sions adequate for c decent if not luxurious living. Many officers went Into posts especially created for them in industry or big bust ness. Wherever they were, how. ever, all the officers remained in. stantly available for assignments on the multiple problems of the coming war;.
 On the same trairs that carried the million of war-weaTy German troops bank from the fronts in 1918, men who wildly cheered the slogan "Nie wieder Krieg" (no more far), were other soldiers who felt quite differently. Officers who refused to accept the defeat went among these others, picking the toughest and the most aggressive. Tn this way they assembled the first units Of what soon came to Do called the Free Corps, whose actual strength was never known.
 Secret societies of various de- scriptions suddenly sprang up oil over the country to "carFy on the sacred military traditions of 0er- many" Some of the societies were not secret, but centered apparently about some cultural or civic enter- prise with no seiiiblance of military connections. Respectable burghers in small towns and cities formed themselves into patrol services. Their laudable purpose was said to Dc protection of their homes and families from the criminals who always spring up from nowhere in the wake of wars and revolutions. Perfectly innocent, one would say. But such groups were actually util- ized for the formation of military cells.
 The purely military value Of the Free Corps was negligible. The secret general staff knew well enough they were not crack units. On the half.a-ioaf theory. however, they felt the rough and tumble military discipline served the men better than no training ct all.
 Second, merely to quarter one of their groups ifl Q region was to create 6 center of unrest. The polt- teal leaders within the secret staff established and dispersed these cen. terS ct will.

In all but e handful of the hotels no native parisians were admitted, In- dec 1, before one could enter any hotel at all he had to be invited by a resident. And, of course, the Ger. mans had requlsitioned an over" whelming majority of the decent places.
 The parlsian was indeed Q for. eigner in his own city, what with requlsioned theaters, movies, res- teurants, clubs and homes. But in some ways this was almost an ad. vantage.
