Partnership again surprise the world and ward off the French air attack long enough to get up iwiwertul armies at bom« an«! in her dominions?” "Granted -thut would make things more favorable for Germany also,’’ was (lechla rg’s frank unsw«'r. "Judging from the lessons that your American troop transports taught the world In the Great War, It is safe to assume that Englund could land ovetHeas troops on the continent. “French submarines could prevent this just a* little as th» German E-boat* could prevent your trans ports from landing in Europe. But even the transport of British troops to the Continent couldn’t keep the French from occupying wide area» of Germany—even In the event that Germany remained neutral, fur these reasons: “1. To keep German armies from being concentrated and equipped by England against France. \ “2. To keep English armies from being concentrated in Germany. “3. To keep the war und it» devas tations as far away from French soil as possible. “Geimany’s alm In the Great War was to conduct tho war in the west at France's expense. France’s alm in the coming war will be to carry it on at Germany’s expense.” “But." Herr Rechberg was asked, "suppose Germany declared herself neutral?” “Then she would tie in the same position as Belgium was in the last war,” he answered. “If France re spected such a neutrality declaration -he would run the risk of England treating it as a ’scrap of paper.’ No, no, Germany can under no circum stances remain neutral In an Anglo- French war. She must choose one or the other as an ally. “Notwithstanding all that I have said, an Anglo-German war against France might not be entirely hope less-—provided that England suc ceeded in prolonging it. Even with the help of the Czechs, France could not occupy the whole of Germany, and those part.» that would remain free from invaders would serve as concentrating are^s for Anglo-Ger man forces: such Anglo-German operations would logically start from the coast regions, whence the Ger man Reichswehr would have retried. England’s navy could safeguard the supply of snch armies. "Such a wdr wodld last years, and ravages would lay Germany in utter ruin; not a stone would remain un touched. “How much more favorable would the prospect» be for Germany if she joined France at the outbreak of an Anglo-French war! As soon as France realizes that such a war is inevitable she will make concrete of fers to Germany. France does not want to have to fight England with Germany as a vengeful enemy in her rear. The day will come—and per haps very soon—when France will try to win US as a friend and ally. "The chances of a Franco-German war against England would be ex traordinarily favorable. Allied with France, we would bo practically im mune from attack by England; therefore, our country would not lie laid waste, as it wontd by Fiance were she our enemy. Moreover, ac cording to all liumait reckoning, the victory of a Franco-German alliance over England would be practically certain. "It would be in the interest of Eu rope. and for Germany in particular it would lie a great good fortune, if the Anglo-French war could be averted. Whatevver be the outcome, its effect would be devastating. The economic disintegration of Europe would be hastened by it and the need and misery in all lands would neces sarily rise. "Yet it seems extremely doubtful whether uny statesman in England or France can avoid the clash be tween the two powers whose vital interests conflict, apparently, irre concilably.” PENDLETON BLANKETS 100 per cent wool COPCO Preferred Par value $100 Now at $98 Yielding 7.14 per cent OF OVIl ORGANIZATION THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY Medfonl, Grunts Vass and Klamath Falls Yrvki* and Dunsmuir WOULD WED FRENCH QIRLS i [wrote Two Young Arkansans Ask Post Office Department How to Do It.
