PXflE FOUR frfEDFOTtD M ATL TRTBUXE, rEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1937. S HEAP COALS OF GEN. LUDENDORFF Catholic Sisters Take Care of Pagan Leader During Illness Churches Hound ed Since Nazi Adven Bv DeWltt MacKenzle (A.P. Foreign Affalra Writer.) NEW YORK, Deo. 2. -Pate bu pro vided en Impressive Interlude for the greet religious drame unfolding In Germany the atroggle of Christian lty against forces which would sub stitute a strange, new faith. Aged General Erich Ludendorff, famous World war commander, la very 111 tn Munich. He Is In a Catholic hospital end Is being cared for by Catbollo sisters. And whet difference does It make about the hospital? Just this: Lu dendorff Is a leading exponent of the Tannenberg league, which Is e pagan organisation end both entl-Chrlstlan and an tl -Semitic. Christianity Is giving en enemy a typical coala-of- flre answer for his violent attacks. Churches Hounded. Both Cathollo end Protestant churches have been enduring a des perate time since the advent of the nasi regime four years ego. Their main trouble has come from the gov ernment, rather than from such movements es that sponsored by Lu dendorff. The general's paganism which has been condemned by Hitler i Is probably not a grave menace, though It Is sn Indication of the trend of extreme thought in Germany these days. The state, however, hes made every effort to apply regimentation to the churches, snd the whole tendency of that regimentation has been to wean communicants away from the faiths of their fathers and bring them whol ly under the spell of nasi principles. And nsEllsro la building Its own re ligion. This new cult Is a sort of oriental Bhlntolsm, or ancestor worship, built about the berolo figure of Adolf Hit ler. Der Fuehrer Is to his followers spiritually whst the Mikado la to Japan and more. Hitler Spiritual Leader. Hitler ts spiritual leeder not only In Germany, but of Germans In neighboring countries, Ilka Austria, for example. His spiritual leadership, aa apart from his temporal power, ts one explanation of the tremendous hold he has on his followers. Christianity, as seen through narl eyes, Is at best tolerable only If shorn of Its so-called Jewish trim mings. These Include the Old Testa ment the writings of the Apostle Paul, and the un-Germanlc extolling of meekness. A lot of the entl-Semltlo nazla, even If It be granted that God may have revealed himself to the world through Jesus (snd some next lead ers deny this), there Is now et hand the period for e new revelation. God has revealed himself. In their opinion, to the German people through Adolf Hitler, a super-men such es Is born only ones In many hundreds of years. Hitler's mission Is to meke Ger many the greatest nation on earth. The Nordic -Germanic race has a nst ursl right to dominate, because of Its superior qualities. Der Fuehrer Perfect. Just aa Christ la held up to Chris tians as perfect, so every nad leader be be Ley or Rosenberg or Goeb be Is or Goerlng tells bis sudlences that Der Fuehrer Is the one and only perfect German and perfect nasi. And listen to this from one Boll- mann-Moers, a district governor. speaking before a teachers' federation at Ooberhausen: The oppressed Germans In for eign countries look upon Adolf Hit Ier es someone sacred, holy. If anything more were needed to demonstrate Hitler's status In the minds of many, it could be found In death notices In some rural commun ities. Instead of the customary ' there died In the faith In his Lord Jesus Christ our beloved," etc, may Jx something like this: 'There died In the faith In Adolf Hitler " And In some cburehes Hitler's autobiography. Meln Kampf. la read from the pulpit Instead of the scriptures. 'STUDY PROGRAM KLAMATH TAXES TO SET KLAMATH FALLS. Dec. 3.

NATION'S MAIN ILLS LISTED BY AL SMITH NEW YORK, Dec. 2. ( AP) Form er Oovernor Alfred E. Smith says there are two things fundamentally wrong with the nation: 1. "The complete lack of Interest on the part of the ordinary citizen In the operation of his government;" and 3. "People don't know they are paying the taxes." The former governor told 400 In surance commissioners yesterday there was no reason to expect any great flow of capital Into Industry "while human nature Is as It Is," because no man "who had any sense" would bet 9100 to win 10 at roulette. Smith said taxation was "like the kitty In a game of poker If the same men play and the kitty gets larger. soon nobody will have anything."
