Hero Genera. Against the fact that Major General Hans von Seeckt created Germany's superb little "expert army' under the Treaty of Versailles stood, until last week, the facts that lie smashed Adolf Hitler's "Beer Hall Putsch" in Munich in 1923, that he has a "non-Aryan"' wife. Lately, however, Adolf Hitler has decided that his 1923 failure was a good idea. Last week General von Seeckt turned 70 and Adolf Hitler named him honorary commander of the 67th Infantry Regiment, to be called henceforth the General von Seeckt Regiment...

Neither was present last week, but a lawyer friend of Ludendorff, Herr Robert Schneider, worked the crowd up to frenzy with attacks on the Papacy "for actively cooperating to encircle Germany in 1914 and provoke the World War!" This villainy Orator Schneider, who occasionally got his Popes and their characteristics mixed in the torrent of his harangue, seemed to attribute chiefly to peace-loving Pius X. Shouts of "Traitor!" and "Expel him!" filled the beer hall...
