HATRED FOR FRANCE
Battle Hymns Sung by Mob
Trying to Approach
French Embassy.
By GEORGE WITTE
Copyright,'l923, by The San Antonio tight.
Berlin. Jan. 15. — Immeasurably
strengthened by the French invasion of
the Ruhr district, the German mon
archists are successfully fanning the
'•flames of revolt against the present gov
a crnment and the treaty of Versailles.
- Many more people arc now listening to
•their “hymns of hate.’’ than has been
\ the case at any other time since the
i kaiser, to save his skin, deserted the
> army more than four years ago. The
demonstrations held yesterday in front
of the Reichstag building ostensibly to
protest against the occupation of Essen
* developed into purely nationalist mect
£ ings such as were held in the early
; days of the war. Several extreme na
an tionalista openly preached n war of re
venge against France and Belgium and
’■* no attempt was made by the police to
„ stop them or prevent the meetings from
continuing.
In addition to singing “Die Wacht
Am Rhein’’ and ’•Deutschland Vber
- Alles,” songs which served as Germany's
- battle hymns in the World war. a brand
~ r.ew song entitled “Anf Zura Biegreichen
-Krieg Gegen Frankreieh," ("Arise for
.• Victorious War Against France") was
••heard for the first time in public. This
hymn of hate with others was sung
t almost continuously for three hours by
rs mob which besieged the Brandenburg
Gate and fried to break through the po
*lice lines to storm the French embassy
5O yards further on.
Princes and Generals Cheered.
* But thia was not al). Many leaders
■ of the monarchist movement including
"Prince Adalbert and Prince August
». Wilhelm, sons of the former kaiser, and
several old time generals dared to show
"*their faces at a public demonstration
for the first time since the revolution
"and were cheered. According to reports
ofrom Munich, Crown Prince Rupprecht
and General Ludendorff appeared at
’•an official demonstration there.
V The Berlin demonstration was
.planned and organize I Friday. The
• nationalist organizations held secret
meetings at which it was decided to take
vadvantage of the demonstration to hold
’ a review of their followers in the Ger
"man capital. About 50,000 turned out

nationalists, were poorly attended. At
these meetings the speakers denounced
the Cuno government bitterly for its
attitude of tolerance toward the na
tionaiists.
Hotels Are Stormed.
Communists also held protest meet
ings at one of which an old German
flag, which had been captured from a
nationalist organization, was burned
publicly. In an effort to get even na

IRISH KIDNAPING
IN EFFORTS TO
SUIIF O’MALLEY
Irish Republicans Seek Host
ages Among Leaders of
Government.
THEY ARE UNCHECKED
Murmurs Heard About In
ability of Expensive Army
to Meet Situation.
BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN.
Copgrirht, 1923.
Dublin, Jan. 15—The Republicans
arc hunting for hostages. One of the
most prominent of their leaders, Arnest
O'Malley, is recovering from wounds
received in capture. He is about to be
sentenced and his execution is feared.
Memories of his fight against the Brit
ish in which he was daring and suc
cessful cambine with his resolute ac
tivities against the Free State to make
him the chief republican hero. The idea
of his execution is so intolerable to
the republicans that they will do any
thing to prevent it. Henee they have
determined to kidnap prominent sup
porters of the government and hold them
as hostages for O’Malley's safety.
So far they have been unlucky for
Senator Fogarty, one of Dublin's most
eminent surgeons, escaped his captors
by swimming across the Liffey river
while in another case the irregulars
captured a Dublin merchant by mistake
for a member of the dail. But there
seems to be no reason why the kidnap
ing plan should not stieeed for the ex
perience of last week —the worst in
months—show that no trustworthy
checks on tbe schemes of the republi
cans exist. They have walked undis
guised into business assemblies in Dub
lin seeking their victims. They have
cross-examined all present, making
them prove their identity and when sat
isfied that the men they wanted were
absent have been able to leave undis
turbed. There is no safety for any
man they seek except in the protection
of a military guard such as is now af
forded to the ministers and deputies by
the fortress of the government build
ings. Any cabinet member who leaves
its shelter is accompanied by soldiers
and armored cars. To spread terror to
those inside, the buildings were bombed
Saturday night.
Homes Are Burned.
In some cases like that of President
Cosgrove's residence the homes which
lhe legislators have abandoned hove
been burned and it is startling that this
torch policy is applied nit merely to
the protagonist* of the Free State, but
tc all who have assisted in working tbe
Irish constitution. Senators' supnnrt of
home rule has provoked tbe punishment
they cscepsd whilt opposing it an I their
houses have been burnt d. The destine*
tion on the railways l.as beeu Titfn
sifted end each day secs some new dis--
location of trafli -.
Hitherto the g-c.rinment has had no
critics, tut public dissatisfaction at the
inability of a largo and expensive army
to prevent these culrn.res is noy being
expressed freely. Though the irregulars
in Sligo have lor-; Ktn defeatci forty
of I hem were able to destroy Ihe fine
railway station thcro with bocl» and
torch and to ruin a large quantity of
rolling stock within n few hundred
yards of a garrison of six hundred Free
State soldiers who were deceived by »
feigned attack on their barracks and
rushed in armored cars to the railway
station after the damage was done and
the raiders had escaped.
Anny Discipline Lax.
There is much talk of an extensive
army reorganization. The discipline of
the rank and file has been slack per
haps because desertions to the irregu
lars were feared. Home desertions have
occurred and their spread has been met
by executing five deserters on one
morning. But the main weakness is
attributed to junior officers who have
not had strict training. At first the
Free Staters “cold shouldered” Irish
officers with experience in the Euro
pean war, but lately there has been
some change in this attitude and
throughout various divisions such men
with real knowledge are beginning to
be welcomed.
The new army chief next in authority
to General Mulcahy is now Gen. Wil
liam English Murphy who entering the
war as a subaltern, rose to be a lieuten
ant colonel before the great struggle
ended. Ho was acepted hy the Free
States and helped to subdue the opposi
tion so far as it hns been subdued in
Kerry. His promotion is expected to
lead to increased efficiency. Thore arc

posts in the British army in Flanders
and Saloniki woh are available for con
sultation. nnd Gen. Sir Bryan Mahon

VIENNA TO REPEAT
Company Will Give Operas Monday
and Tuesday Nights.
So popular has ths Viennese Opera
etta Company been in San Antonio they
will give extra performances at Bee
thoven Hall. Monday night the com
pany will give "The Last Waltz."
There will also be a performance Tues
day night.
The interest and pleasure of the com
pany is decidedly cumulative. The
more it is heard and seen, the more
remarkable and delightful it is. There
have been many light opera companies
touring the United States which have
come from many places-and while many
of them have had more elaborate me-
chanical equipment, there is none on
record of a higher quality regarding per
sonality, singing, acting, dancing and
tbe ensemble effects of all four.
With the exception of three or four
members of the company who play ma
ture parts, they are all young, appar
ently between 20 and 25.
“In the Dancing Countess” and “The
I’rineess of the Czardas,” the pnma
donna soprano of the company, Ermy
Jolan, made her appearance. In both
of these operettas she had several duets
with Walter Jaukuhu, the leading tenor,
which will remain as a high water mark
in the light opera memories of all who
heard them.
Tuesday night the company will give
“The House of Three Girls.”
