MOVETO ALIENATE FRERCH ALY SEEN German Propaganda Armed at Pact With Soviet, Observer Says. International repercussions of the Spanish civil war, especially as they bear on the outlook for peace or war in Europe, are examined here in the third and last of a series of dispatches by a famous writer and joreign correspondent who has just reached Paris after traveling several weeks in Spain and record- ing his impressions of undersur- Jace conditions there. BY WALTER DURANTY. B¥ Radio to The Star. PARIS, September 26.—As far as Germany is concerned, the Spanish civil war has a two-fold advantage— first. it gives an appearance of reality to Hitler's assertion that the Naz mission is to save the world from bol- shevism, and, second. it divides Frenc opinion on that very ground ant thereby strikes a blow at the France Soviet mutual assistance pact However loudly Hitler may denounc the barbarism, futility and failure ¢ the Soviet regime. the Germans knov bstter than any other people in Eu rope how strong that regime is Anc How strong the red army is and wha weight the red army and air fleet coulc throw into & conflict between France and Germany. It might almost be said that the chief object of German foreign policy today is to rupture the Franco-Soviet pact. which, the Germans know, is the greatest obstacle to their plans for a war of revenge. Toward that object. Nazi propaganda is working overtime, and—thanks to circumstances in Russia, France and Spain—not with- out success. “Liquidation™ of Trotzkyites. The sudden, savage, and, to me, 1 must admit, inexplicable, “liquidation™ of former Trotzkyites in Russia en- ables that Nazi propagandists to de- clare there is something gravely rot- ten in the Soviet state. It shows, they say, political unrest which goes far deeper than the world knows, but they know that, by saying this, they weaken the value of the Russian alli- ance in French eyes. That is the first line of the Nazi attack against the Franco-Soviet pact. It is followed by an appeal to the French “right” that is based on events in Spain. The Spanish events, shout the Nazi propagandists, are proof pos- itive of how bolshevik poison is dis- seminated through the channels of so- called democracy. Unless France is careful, they cry, she will be the next victim, through the follies of machina- tions of Kerensky-Blum and Blum's “master,” Jouhaux, of the labor fed- erations. It cannot be denied that the Nazi propaganda, whose purpose it is to shift the ostensible causes of the war, which Europe now believes inevitable, from a national to a social basis, has found considerable acceptance in France. Newspapers of the French “right” already are playing the Ger- man game by attacking the pact with the Soviet. But the French general staff; no less than the German gen- tral staff, knows the value of the red army, and, although the French “right ay use the German argu- ments for internal political advantage, here is no sign at present that France vill yield to German blandishments and denounce the pact with the U.B.8.R. Soviet Is Absolved. True. a section of the French press hag adopted the German-inspired view that Moscow deliberately provoked the Spanish civil war in order to embroil France, and thus direct the German menace westward against France in- s'ead of eastward against Russia. This, cf course, is sheer nonsense, because the Spanish civil war was started by military reactionaries with the moral, if mot material, support of Germany, not by Spanish left extremists with the support of Moscow. If the truth be told the U. S. S. R. has nothing to do with events in Spain, except in so far as they affect the international situation. The Span- ish Communist party was at least as much Trotzkyite as Stalinist, and the Soviet desire for peace, which is so obvious as to need no demonstration, not only precluded any attempt by the comintern to provoke an outbreak in Spain, but tended to hold it back and prevent it. The Spanish events have injured the U. 8. 8. R, as they have injured France, by strengthening the illogical Pposition of Hitler in his aim to “re- store Germany to her rightful status” at the expense of France or the U.S. 8. R. It was not for nothing that the Nazi propaganda bureau found it necessary to “rectify” Hitler's phrase in his Nurnberg speech about what Germany could do with the wealth of the Urals and the Ukraine. What Hitler said was, “If we had the Urals and the Ukraine, we would be drowned in abundance.” But the German papers printed a different version: “If the Urals and the Ukraine were in Germany. their wealth would give us abundance.” Understands Propaganda. Perhaps more clearly than any other European power, MOSCOW un- derstands the purport of the Nazi propaganda, just as Moscow was the first to realize that the neutrality of Portugal in the Spanish struggle was more important than that of any other country in Europe. But Mos- cow is in a different position because the Spanish militarist rebellion has developed into a social revolution not far different from the Soviet revolu- tion itself, politically speaking, and has an effect not only in France, but in England also—and, of course, in Italy, for obvious reasons. Like Germany, Italy is well-nigh ‘bankrupt, with a vast military estab- lishment which must be used—else- where than Ethiopia—before its bur- den of expense breaks the country’s heart. That is the true horror of the pres- ent European situation, that these two great countries have immense armies which they cannot long sup- port. The Spanish struggle has given them both an appearance of justifi- cation for the violence to which they are already committed by their own policies and doctrines.

Eighteen years ago yesterday at dawn the American 1st Army launched its pivotal attack which smashed the Hindenburg line on the Western front and forced the imperial German command to sue for armistice. But the 47 days of the Meuse-Ar- gonne offensive, in the opinion "of American military strategists. did more than clinch a victory for the allied cause. They contend that it served also to justify Gen. John J. Pershing’s long and sometimes acrimonious struggle with British and French commands to preserve the identity of the American Army as an independent unit David Lloyd George, Great Britain's wartime premier, recently published | in his memoirs a severe criticism of the American Expeditionary Force’s | commander for his stubborn fight to | keep his divisions intact instead of | | allowing them to be incorporated in I the allied armies. Consisted of 22 Divisions. As mobilized for the assault, the American 1st Army under the direct { command of Gen. Pershing consisted of 22 divisions, the total strength of which rose as high as 750,000 men at times. It was assisted by six French | divisions, numbering approximately 135.000 troops. This force flung 46 German divi- ions, numbering more than 500.000. back to the Meuse River through some 20 miles of strongly-fortified ter- ritory along a 25-mile front. The en- zagement lasted from September 26 to November 11, 1918, when hostilities ended with the Germans retreating in disorder. American casualties for this battle alone totaled 122,000 killed and | wounded, contrasted with 100.000 es- timated German casualties and 26,000 German prisoners captured. Had the allied generals used Amer- ican troops merely as replacements in their decimated divisions, American officers say the Meuse-Argonne re- sult might have been different. Gen. Pershing, in persistently refusing their | demands, had contended that such an arrangement not only would offend the American public. but that Amer- ican soldiers could not be expected to fight as efficiently under a foreign flag and under foreign officers as under their own. Yet official reports relate that he was harried on that subject by al- lied military leaders and statesmen almost continuously from the time he assumed command of the American forces in France until a short time before the Armistice. Gen. James G. Harboard, Persh- ing's first chief of staff in France | and later chief of the Army's service of supply, records that ‘if given in terms of the demands it made on/ the time of Gen. Pershing and the | number of various and devious angles | from which approach was made, a | reader 50 years hence might well con- clude that this struggle between al- lies was more important than much of the fighting that went on.” Even before Pershing sailed for | France, British and French missions then in the United States had been busy seeking to have the American | Army's man power used as replace- ments in allied units which had been battered by the German advance prior to America’s declaration of war. Lack of Harmony Seen. This caused Pershing to write in his diary that “the evident rivalry between the British and French for control and use of our forces, even before we had an army in the field, | bore out my impression that those two governments were not working entirely in harmony.” Such was the situation which prompted Newton D. Baker, then Secretary of War, to incorporate in his instructions to Gen. Pershing, written on May 26, 1917, this para- graph “In military operations against the imperial German government, you are directed to co-operate with the forces of the other countries employed against that enemy; but in so doing the underlying idea must be kept in view that the forces of the United States are a separate and distinct | component of the combined forces, the identity of which must be pre- served.” Not only were these Pershing's orders; they represented his own per- | sonal views. | “I was decidedly against our be- | coming a recruiting agency for either he said. | the French or British," “While fully realizing the difficulties, it was definitely understood between the Secretary of War and myself that we should proceed to organize | our own units from top to bottom and build a distinctive army of our own as rapidly as possibl Transport Ships Seught. But he was not long in discovering that he would meet energetic oppo- sition from his own allies in carry- ing out his orders in this respect. He asked the allies for ships in which to bring American soldiers to Europe and found that their “apparent in- difference gave further color to the suspicion that perhaps an American army as such was not wanted.” Meanwhile, the Balfour and Joffre missions to the United States had re- newed in Washington the urgings of their respective governments that the United States ship infantry men and machine gunners as fast as possible 0 the fighting lines for inclusion in both armies, disregarding other di- visional components such as artillery, supply and engineers. Lloyd George sent a confidential memorandum to Col. Edward M. House in which he stated that Amer- ican soldiers would not be ready to fight as an army until late in 1918 and that “even half-trained Amer- ican companies or battalions would fight well if mixed with two or three years' veterans.” Under pressure from all sides. Per- shing, in whose hands had been placed full responsibility for organizing American forces in France, finally compromised to the extent of agree- ing to send a maximum of six divi- sions of infantry, machine gun. en- gineer and signal troops during May, 1918, for training and service with the British Army. Won Official Sanction. At the same time, however, he wrested from the supreme war coun- cil at a historic meeting at Abbe- | ville, France, official recognition that “an American army should be formed as early as possible under its own commander and its own flag.” It was at this meeting that Pershing, facing Lloyd George, Premier Clem- enceau of France, Premier Orlando of Italy, Marshal Foch and other allied commanders, said: “Gentlemen, I will not be co- erced.” That was in answer to their re- Lessons and demonstrations in ac-; tual citizenship are being given the pupils of Hine Junior High School as part of a special course to train the | tuture taxpayers of the District in| the duties they will have to assume | in later years. Modeled after the citizens’ associa- tions, nine “home rooms” of approxi- | mately 40 stucents each have been organized as miniature citizens’ asso- ciations and a student federation, composed of delegates from each “home room,” has been set up. Each unit meets on Monday after- noon and the federation meets each Friday. In the meetings the students, who are organized with a president, vice president and secretary-treasurer, take up and discuss any subject of community, school ¢r city interest. Hine Junior High Pupils Adopt Citizen Association Idea Their method of operation is the same as that used by the adult asso- ciations in the city, and eventually action taken by the smaller groups is passed on to the federation. Between the meetings committees take up any proposals made by mem- bers of the associations and formal reports are returned to the groups. Dr. Howard E. Warner, principal at Hine, considers the training as practical instruction “in actual work- ing citizenship.” As a part in the course, officers of the nine “home rooms” will be guests next Tuesday night of the Southeast Washington Citizens’ Association when it meets at Hine. Later in the year it is planned to have mem- bers of the several units visit the Federation of Citizens’ Association at the District Buildmsg. SIMPSON'S TRIAL BEGINS TOMORROW U. S. Seaman Goes Before Berlin Court on Charge of Espionage. Py the Associated Press. Fifteen months’ imprisonment in morrow for Lawrence B. 8impson, an Court on espionage. ‘The maximum penalty for such of- fenses is death. A reputed member of the American Communist party, Simpson, whose home is in Kirkland, Wash., is ac- cused of being an agent who smug- gled into Germany large quantities of Communist literature for a ring of anti-Nazi conspirators against the Hitler regime. The German police have charged that he was involved with 70 other prisoners in “communistic work,” and | that he engaged in the dissemination | of communist propaganda in Ger- | many for six months prior to his ar- ! rest June 28, 1935. When he was taken into custody at Hamburg while serving as a member of the crew of the United States liner Manhattan, the police told the ship’s captain and the American consul, who were present, that they found large quantities of communist propaganda | material in Simpson’s quarters aboard | the vessel. With this, it was charged, were discovered a number of balloons with fuses attached, apparently intended for use in broadcasting pamphlets. The American consulate general in Berlin expects to have a representa- tive at the trial, at which an attorney appointed by the court will conduct Simpson’s defense. Richard Roiderer, the last Ameri- can to be tried by a Nazi court, was | found guilty of a charge of espionage | two years ago and sentenced to de- portation from Germany. LINE TO KEY WEST TO BE ABANDONED Approval of I. C. C. Paves Way | for Construction of Highway. By the Associated Press. Abandonment of the storm-wrecked railway from the Florida mainland to | Key West was authorized yesterday by | the Interstate Commerce Commission, apparently removing the last obstacle ‘m the of a proposed new over- seas highway across the tiny islands to replace the rail line. The effect of the decision was to make possible the sale of bridge prop- erties and rights of way of the old Flagler rail line to the overseas toll | and bridge district, sponsor of the plan to connect Miami and Key West by highway. Obtained Court Permission. Previously, receivers of the Florida East Coast Railway, operators of the overseas rail line, had obtained per- mission of the Federal District Court | Key | at Jacksonville to abandon the West extension and sell the proper- ties. An examiner took testimony last week at Jacksonville in the petiticn to the I. C. C., and the approval order was issued here without formal argu- ments before the commission itself.

The island city of Key West was virtually isolated by the 1935 Labor day hurricane, which swept the Flor- ida keys, tearing out long sections of the railway and portions of a high- way already in use. By means of substituting ferries at several places where bridges were de- stroyed, the State opened the high- way again to automobile traffic. The new road and bridge project , would make possible movement of mo- |tor vehicles into Key West for the first time from the mainland without ‘Lhe necessity of long ferry jumps.

Several months later, however, even | fensive was in progress, Lloyd George continued to complain of an auton- | omous American Army. | Writing to Gen. Pershing on Oc- | tober 2, 1918, Secretary Baker related |a conversation he had just had in France with the British Prime Minis- ter, in which the latter protested ihat the British had brought over a large number of troops from the United States in the expectation that they would be trained with the British'and assist that army in Flanders. Instead, he complained, five Ameri- can divisions were removed from the British command just at a time when they would have been of the most serv- ice to the British troops, and that at another time American troops received they had not been adequately trained. “It left on my mind,” Baker wrote Pershing of the conversation, “a very strong feeling that Liloyd George frankly wants Americans to remain | with the British * * * and that he is desiring to monopolize the Americans and so come out of the war as our principal friends. * * * “When he asked me what expecta- tions I thought he ought to have about the use of American troops, I replied shortly that I thought he ought to expect the American Army as such to exist in the same sense as the Brit- ish Army.” ¢ Nazi Germany will be climaxed to- | American seaman, when he is brought | to trail before the Berlin Peoples’ charges of high treason and as the important Meuse-Argonne of- | peremptory orders not to go into action | with their British comrades because | | very suspicious that the French are D.

LONDON, September 26—By the time these lines appear in print the British forces in Palestine will reach the substantial total of 17,000, which is greater than that of the army with which Kitchener waged the war against the Mahdi in the Sudan. But no one here .anticipates that the parallel will go any farther, or that anything in the nature of a war is seriously imminent. This does not mean that the dis- patch of so formidable a force was uncalled for. It means thai the meas- ' ures taken to deal with the Arab revolt had proved so inadequate that | the rebels had been encouraged to | think that they had the game in their hands and that they had only to pur- sue their guerrilla tactics to render | government impossible and to make 1 clean sweep of the Jews from Pal- ' estine. It had been supposed that the suc- cess of the air force in suppressing the rising in Iraq could be repeated against the Arab rising in Palestine. But that expectation has been com- pletely disappointed and it was felt that nothing but an overwhelming demonstration of force would bring the organizers of the so-called strike to reason. | Cause for Delay. The delay in taking these sterner measures was due to the recognition | that the Arabs have real grievances and to the anxiety of the British gov- | ernment to settle the racial quarrel | between Jew and Arab by pacific means. The help of friendly Arab | leaders outside Palestine, like Nuri Pasha of Irag, the Emir Abdulla of | Trans-Jordania and the King of Saudi | Arabia, was invoked to persuade the Arab leaders to call off the strike and to avert the necessity of extreme measures.

Every one present at a citizens' meeting called to discuss the board- walk problem, agreed that a new one should be built, but no decision was reached on the type. It developed that the town itself did not have funds to build a new boardwalk, so a committee was ap- pointed to work with the mayor and council in seeking Pederal funds. The committee will ask a $100,000 appropriation from the National Flood Relief Council Mayor W. Thomas Elliott. who prr-l sided at the meeting, pointed out the average life of a boardwalk was 10 years and that some parts of the one the hurricans ruined had been in use for 15 years. “The pilings are nearly all rotten,” he said. “Many times during the Summer I have been uneasy and afraid that some one would be hurt.” Edward Parsons suggested that Col. E. J. Dent, district War Department engineer, be consulted before a de- cision was made on the type of the new boardwalk. Members of the committee named are H. O. Cropper. Dr, C. W. Purnell, Capt. W.

The prime movers in this enterprise are two men. | one of whom supplied the fanatical motive and the other the executive genius. The first is the Mufti Haj Amin Hussein, the head of the Moslem | Church in Palestine. He is the un- compromising foe of a concordat be- tween Jew and Arab and is the in- tellectual and spiritual force behind the campaign of violence and murder. The strategy of that campaign has been the work of terrorists, led by professional firebrands from Iraq and Syria. The chief of these is the no- torious rebel, Fawzi Kauji. who was trained in the Turkish army and who gave so much trouble to the French during the Druse revolt in Syria 10 years ago. It was he who issued the inflammatory proclamation calling the Moslem world to a holy war against Jew and Christian in Pales- tine and it is his sinister genius that has inspired the cunning strategy of the campaign. The better and wiser influences in the Arab world lost con- trol of the situation and the preachers of terrorism got out of hand. Due to Be Effective. Little doubt is felt that the stern measure§ now taken will be effec-| tive, that the more reasonable influ- | ences among the Arabs will recover | control and that a round table con- ference between the rival communi- ties will be called to hammer out & modus vivendi.
