GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN

As an American newspaper
 correspondent In Berlin from
 1919 to l9Al, 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 cuImlnte 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.
 VI
 One of the reasons why General 0roener had insisted that Germany accept the Versailles Treaty in 1919 rather than risk another wal was the fear of the French wisf to split Germany into small states
 But as month after month oi imitation aggravated the suffering of the people, the country seemed almost ready to disintegrate of it. self. without any pressure from outside. If the people were to fint unity again, 1t must be the magic unity of facing e common foe.
 Why not, the secret circle won' dered entice France into doine something to the German people that would make her appear theil common national enemy7 England and the United States were al' ready following the German prop. aganda red herring that France was insisting on unreasonable do' mands to crush poor, helpless Germany, Reliable witnesses have since stated that German indus trialistS deliberately curtailed theii reparations deliveries of coal ane wood to France, precisely in order to goad the French to action.
 Like 90 many German ruseS this one worked to perfection The exaSperated French and Bel gians marched into the Ruhr Their Allies grew cool, the Ger man factional frlctions dissolved fin the need for . solid front. With the Socialists and the Nationalist pulling together on the same team the Free Corps achieved the dig. nity of open recruitment and oi joint training with the ReiehswehT to point the men for active com. bat with the French. Then came the compromise.
 The German militaristS found themselves, however. with trained troops on their hands at the peak of c well.cultivated patriotic frenz. What to do with them2
 To some of the leaders 1t seemed like a fine time to get rid of the hated Republic, especially to the Black Reichswehr groups In Ba- varia (Which was then run by c reactionary government anyway to General Ludenderff. and to hiS pupil. Adolf Hitler.

All veterans, regardless of when Nhey wero discharged from the armed forces will be exempted From tho StabiliSation program and win be free to take whatever job Rhey want. 1t wsS disclosed.
 Since the exemption was an- nounced last Wednesday in Wash mgton, number of local veterans have left their jobs and taken dif- kerent ones, according to reports reaching the USES. Some of them have reported at tho employment office for aid in obtaining new Bohs.
 MT. parson stressed today that Although the former servicemen may Eakc jobs on their own the USES as still ready to aid them in or- eaining jobs for which they are best suited, Tho veterans are not rec qured to 90 through the USES of- aice in taking jobs, but the ex. emption does not relieve the om- ployment of responsibility to hclp the returning soldiers.
 What effect the new order will have on the labor turnover here could not be determined at once. St is believed many hundreds of Discharged veterans are not em- eloyed here, and arc now free to shift their jobs.
 ! The employer manager expressed she belief, however, that many of ghe veterans who are in war jobs sill want to continue them, know- Sng they are aiding the war effort. l Because of the permitted freedom of movement of the veterans, the IDx.servicemen will not be counted against ceiling levels of employers. They will be permitted to take uohs with any employer, even with those who have reached the ceil- Chg on tho number of workers they are permitted to employ.
 Veterans already employed when the order was issued Wednesday, and who do not change jobs, will continue to be counted on the cm- ploymcnt rolls, 1t was pointed out. Inc order will not be retroactive as far as the ceiling phase is con- cerned. It is retroactive. however, tn regard to the ex-Servicemen af- tected, in that men who terminated services at the start of the war will he exempted from the job controls Eegvlations.
