Leads in Industry. Germany is the leading industrial nntion of Europe. She has great iron and steel industries. Her chemical and automotive plants, added to the iron and steel, make hers one of the great Industrial systems of the world. In addition she is noted for her scientists and Inventive minds. These Inventive minds are credited with having devised some of the most terrible engines of destruction ever conceived by the mind of man weapons which could wipe out the entire population of Europe and even threaten other continents, without ever leaving Germany. Alost terrible of all Is the reported stratosphere rocket This, fired up Into the thin air of the stratosphere, is guided by radio, loaded with explosives or germs, and caused to drop to earth, with Its load of death and disease. There Is the Z ray," so fantastic that it might have come from a modern dime novel. The ray pulverizes all iron and steel In Its path, destroys bridges and the structural work of buildings, melts guns, temporarily paralyzes human beings. It requires enormous electrical currents, and special generating equipment for its supply Is said to be already completed along the Rhine. The Halger-ultrbullet, Invented by Dr. Alax Gehrllch, Is being turned out In German factories at the rate of 480,000 a day. It will pierce steel armor six Inches thick. Said to be In production in the famed Krupp plant are 2,000 rotative guns. These guns, huge cannons, have five rotating barrels and fire 5,000 giant shdls a minute. One of the most deadly of all infantry weapons Is the German Stange machine gun. Weighing only 18 pounds, It can be carried and handled by one man. It fires 600 rounds a minute. Noble Sacrifices. All of this great military machine Germany is building under the guise of preserving the peace of Europe and the world. Hitler felt that Germany had made noble sacrifices In carrying out the treaty of Versailles. Meanwhile the diplomats of the other nations make hurried and frantic agreements and pacts In each others capitals, send dignified, If Indignant, notes to Hitler. He tosses them aside with the comment that they are not In accordance with the facts. Sir John Simon, British foreign minister, who seems to have taken It upon himself to plead the cause of the allies, goes to Berlin to talk with Hitler, and sits dumbly by while the fuehrer talks to him straight from the shoulder. Sir John accomplishes little more than nothing at all. The United States In one breath expresses herself as determined to stay out of European controversy, in another she says she will Insist on treaties being kept, Including Germanys arms pact with ns. France, In desperation, appeals to the League of Nations to do something about It. The league, as 11 often has been of late, as It was indeed created to be, finds Itself again on the spot. It has called an extraordinary session of the council at Geneva. There will hardly be t war as the outcome of that. It takes a unanimous ote of tht league council to declare war. More than anything else, the member nations would like to gel Germany back In tlie League of Na tlons. And Germany will return says Adolf Hitler, only If she It given back possessions taken froa her after the World war. a O.
