The New War in Germany Peace-loving people cannot help but shudder a little as they view the makings of @ new religious war roll- ing up on the horizon in Germany. That land has been the scene of many bloody conflicts based on dif- ferences in religious outlook and now another seems inevitable. i On the one hand we have the Nazi| Christians who have taken—or at-j tempted to take—complete control of} the Protestant churches. They would throw out from the shrines the image of Christ crucified and substitute therefor the picture of a little man with a shoe-dauber mustache. But if the German Protestant church has recently known grievous, aggression it also seems likely to know a strong defense. Thousands, of sincere and able churchmen are chafing under the yoke. The Asso- ciated Press tells us that schism is near and then the world will again have the spectacle of men languish- ing in prison rather than give up their religious principles or violate the tenets of a Divine calling. German Catholics, less numerous but probably more strongly organized, face the same situation, for no re-| ligion means anything to Hitlerism except as it conforms to and bows before the dictates of the state. In this crisis Catholics are one with the Protestants. Hence, news dispatches tell us, a priest has been sent to prison for making remarks from his pulpit which were “calculated to disturb the public peace.” Others will doubtless follow, for the preacher or priest who is worthy of the name never retreats from the high position to which he has been called. He can take no other position than that the word of Christ is imperishable. These things mean trouble in Ger-|! many of a type which we in America! find it difficult to comprehend. Wel have enjoyed freedom of worship so! long and it has become so funda-} mental with us that we can hardly conceive of a condition where such 4s not the case. In America a man’s religion is his own business and| neither the state nor his fellows has 8 right to interfere, provided his ex- ercise of that freedom conforms to the broad base made possible by the constitution. Queer cult practices have been sup- Pressed at times, it is true, but only when they infringed on the rights of others outside the purely religious field. What the immediate outcome of the situation in Germany will be no one can foretell. It is possible that all religion, other than that pre- scribed by the state, will be trampled in the dust and nonconformists of whatever faith will be reduced to si- lence, put in jail, or driven from the country. But the final outcome is inevitable. In a struggle against the inward im- pulses and the consciences of its peo- ple no state can win in the end. His- tory is replete with instances where government has tried to muzzle re- ligion or to direct the religious in- stinct to its own ends. Every one of them has failed and a revivified and more glorious church has risen from the ruins wrought by persecution, It will be so in Germany. Hitler should pause before he continues as he has started. This policy, more than any other, contains the seeds of his eventual destruction. .20|said and adopted the words they put 00) somewhere in the whole grisly bus 00 |iness there are the essentials of the §0|fair judgment, but it appears it will liance or to collect on the young’ woman's insurance.

The Silent Squad had worked on it all winter, he had worked on it* himself, the Commissioner had sent two specials from Ottawa; but no- body had got anywhere with it, When he thought of the brilliant Jobs that young Tennyson used to turn in, of his uncanny skill, of how they all used to depend on him in hopeless cases, he felt that Curt stood at least a chance on this search, where the others had long eince thrown up their hands and quit. “(VURT"—he glanced around and lowered his voice, and then plunged directly into the business— “what I wanted to see you about is data?” asked Marlin. gave out that he was an English man, but he’s not.

D'you know what Karak- han did in the Argentine?” he de- manded, as though he expected to stump Curt. “Yes, I know, A-K. And I know what he did efterward, too. The League of Nations investigators got too hot after him, so he akipped north to Mesico and ran whisky to Los Angeles. The States nicked bim for two schooners, and he came on to Vancouver.
