Germany is not so weak now as when she entered the World War in 1914, declared General Herman Goering Prime Minister of Prussia and Reich Minister for air, when addressing the National Farmers' Congress at Goslar.
Then, he said, Germany had a cowardly parliang; but now men governed the country he asserted.
He appealed to German farmers to help him carry out his four- year rehabilitation plan.
Liberal circles, General Goering told the farmers, urged him to give better prices to encourage deliveries of their products, saying that otherwise farmers would hold back their wares and so force prices upward. But he would be a traitor to his people who placed a loaf in the pig trough, General Goering charged,

Germany would be independent of countries with regard to her daily bread as long as the farmers did their duty, he continued.
"The territory in which Germans live is 100 small for its 60,000,000 inhabitants, and will soon be too strong for the 90,000,000 we want to become." the Minister stated. "Should it become

With Nationalists in Casa de Campo, Nov. 29. The Government's militiamen swept across the muddy fields to the north of Madrid to-day.
They came first at dawn, fror two 25-car armoured trains which carried 2,000 men as far as the barrage of the rebel machine-guns. The militiamen broke and scattered for the hills after an indecisive two-hour battle, the trains retreating and leaving many of the fighting men behind. As the infantry fled, the Nationalist cavalry followed them, fleet mounts easily overtaking the fugitives, and the troopers cut them down with their four-foot sabres.
The battlefield is ghastly; more. so because of the cats and dogs, which feed on corpses.
The second assault came on the Casa de Campo.
