are many elements in Europe which wish to see the treaty break down and the league of nations disappear During the last five months pur allies have been growing weaker from a 8 military point of view due to the necessity of ot demobilizing their forces while at the same time the reactionary group in n Germany has been growing In strength through the hope of yet et securing a a. division of ot the allies At the time I left Europe a month ago German militarism had al already already already al- al ready reestablished Itself as a a. well disciplined disciplined dis dis- well officered army of ot at least I men congregated on the Polish frontier and even defying the government at Berlin erlln Under the alarm of ot this danger the Poles Poleg in inthe inthe inthe the midst of ot the greatest
