...months, like bad-tempered mice before a large and dignified cat, Linz Socialists have been watching Prince Ernst, eager to catch him in a definitely illegal action. Weeks ago they complained that Prince Ernst was not only commandant of the Upper Austrian Heimwehr, Austria's secret reactionary military organization, but had been equipping Heimwehr troops at his own expense, drilling them on the grounds of his castle, just as his ancestors drilled and equipped their henchmen. Complacent Linz police saw no reason to interfere. Prince Ernst might be drilling, they said, but he was breaking...
