SELLING FORGED MILITARY DOCUMENTS
THE SCHRECK CASE ACCUSED THE PUPPET OF SINISTER FORCES (By Eloctrio Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Assoeiation) HEREIN, 2nd Fel). The Court, passing sentence of five years on Schreck, described bis activities as within a hair's breadth of creating most serious international complications. The charge was selling forged military documents to a foreign power. These suggested a military conspiracy in Germany to defeat the disarmament provision of the Treaty of Versailles. The Polish general staff accepted the documents as genuine, while the submission of photographs thereof to other powers is believed to havo hampered negotiations at Locarno and Germany’s entry into the League of Nations. The trial proved that Schreck was the instrument of sinister forces whose purpose was to prevent European reconciliation. The public prosecutor did not believe the conspiracy was of German origin, but who used Schreck as a puppet would probably never be revealed.
