thick timber needed for frewood-it

and some so answered with action.
They cut the timber (trees OF about
% inches). sawed 1t into eight-foot
lengths, piled it up.
And soldiers and sailors seem glad
TO take a weeks furlough 10 60 out
and pitch hay. get in the wheat and
tobacco crops, or turn a hand to
any other little ehore. They say
they consider it a great relief from
loaAng around a hospital or guard

any other OF the strictly military
jobs they have.
Even among the groups OF girls,
Jones says you'll find enough who
can run a tractor or hitch and drive
team of horses. One group cleared
ave and a hall acres. cut the trees,
sawed them up, burned the brush.
And there is no shortage Of civil

are the boys and girls camps which
run all summer; there are other
vacation camps where grown-ups
stay a week. get a dollar and a half

burrow, perhaps retiring to pre-
viously prepared positions" in the
language Of the communicates Of a
retreating army. They are the Junk
ers and the Nazis.
At the present writing, for the
FIRST time in history. military con-
troll Of Germany has been wrested
from the hands Of the junker-gen-
erals. They did their best to act
on their ancient adage: I'VE as a
caste, must always live to fight
another day." A lost war to them is
an incident and considered merely a
temporary setback on the road to
eventual world-domination. To that
end they planned a peace before
their ranks were too greatly weak
ened or their resources exhausted.
But the Nazis stepped in, wrecked
their plans. AS a caste they will
probably be completely destroyed.
their estates and therefore their
means Of livelihood removed. What
many people do not know is that
the German high command had their
own private funds, voted by the
government, which they managed
themselves for the benefit Of the
army.
Whether the Nazis have obtained
this, remains to be seen. But in
any case, you may be sure the burn
ing patriotism Of those junkerS who
survive will keep an underground
organization alive.
And then comes the Nazis. with q
younger but equally fanatical loyal
ty TO national socialism. Their I'm
foreground organizations we know
are already prepared.
Meanwhile there is a strong sus-
picion on the part Of many persons
in Washington that third breeding
place for totalitarian militarism is
being cultivated right here in the
Western hemisphere.
In the past weeks have received
several letters and one telephone
call protesting against the action of
the state department in breaking re-
lations with Argentina. So far as
could tell the persons who commune
Gated with me were perfectly honest.
They all stressed the known fact
that the chief characteristic of the
Argentina attitude is additionally
'pro-Argentine," nationalistS. The
inference was that the government
was not anti-North American or pro-
nazi-fascist, and should be let alone.
AS a matter OF fact, aside from
Argentine's own aims there seems
to be evidence that the German
Nazis and perhaps some Of the Ger
man Junkers are transferring their
wealth TO Argentina.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the Buenos Aires government
has aided and abetted in the spread
OF nazi-fascist propaganda and is
that, at this very moment looking
sympathetically on the activities Of
Nazi agents within its borders. The
army has long been indoctrinated
with Prussian militarism through its
officers who have been trained in
Germany. --.- ---
