WAR DANGERS.

TROUBLE FEARED OVER SAAR PLEBISCITE. LONDON PRESS COMMENT GERMANY INTENDS TO BE MASTER. BRITAIN MAY HAVE TO FIGHT FOR. LIFE. U.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Nor. 11. The newspapers take advantage of the Armistice Day celebrations to emphasise the war dangers. The “Dispatch,” under the streamer heading, “Trembling on the Brink of War, Even Our War Office is Driving Us,” says the War Office is recruiting Britons for the special Saar police which Mr. Geoffrey Knox requested. All has been done secretly, and successful applicants are paid at the rate of £6OO per year, and are guaranteed compensation in the event of death or injury. Mr. Robert Blatchford, in an article in the “Sunday Chronicle,” says

he is convinced that Germany again means war, which she will prosecute With Satanic hatred and ferocity. Though her hatred is directed against France, sooner or later Britain will be forced to fight for liberty and life.

The “Sunday Times” Berlin correspondent says that whatever is the result of the plebiscite, Germany intends to be the unquestioned master of the Saar. The Government apparently means to treat those working against Germany as guilty of high treason directly the plebiscite is over.

The Daily Mail understands that the British attitude regarding the' Saar is not fully revealed. Well-in-formed diplomatic quarters believe it was Britain who originally asked Franco whether she was willing to provide troops because it was believed that 'Mr, Knox’s,life was endangered. Britain sent four members of Scotland Yard to guard him.
