x V HITLER'S EMPIRE IS LONDON VIEW End Of European War This Fall Seen Possibility Anti-Axis Trend Observed By Edward W. Beattle '. United Press Correspondent London, Oct. 13 (U.R) Quali fied observers said today that the' balance of the European war had swung so heavily in favor of the allies during the past 10 days that Adolf Hitler's contin ental empire may collapse this fall. A sudden crisis also may de velop within Germany itself, they added, but this possibility Is more remote. The Red army's advance from the east, the Anglo-American bombing offensive from the west and south and unrest inside the "Festung Europa" none of them new factors in the conflict took on new importance dur ing the past week as the Ger mans struggled to consolidate somewhere for the winter. Anil-Axis Trend Among the latest straws in the wind pointing to an increas ing anti-Axis trend inside Eur ope were these: . . 1 Reports reached ' London that the Germans have informed the Vichy government of their intention of imposing even more rigid control over France, in cluding the arrest of all officers of the French armistice army and the disarming of police, prer sumably to nip any pro-allied Victory Beauty Salon 'iff Phone S020 for an Appointment MABEL GRIGSBY, Proprietor 24 So.

The measures originally were to have been invoked only in the event of an allied invasion. 2 A Budapest report pub lished in Stockholm said the Rumanian government has or-, dered the Rumanian civil admin istration in occupied areas north of the Dniester river between the Nnieper and the Bug to re turn home. 3 The London News-Chronicle said King Christian of Den mark has refused defiantly to help the Germans form a new Danish government.

If the Germans are forced to draw back into Poland and East Prussia while the allied advance from the south and air attack hits civilian morale, thousands of Nazi professional officers would say the war is lost. Lon don military men believe the Wehrmacht officers' prime in terest at that point would be to preserve the army as intact as possible as a bartering point at the peace table. It seemed clear cut August 1, when Germany became commit ted to greatest retreat in its history, that Hitler's profession al general quietly re-assumed control of grand strategy, leav ing the Nazi party to handle the home front as best it could. Even then the party remained in the background. However, the extraordinary speeches by Hitler, Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler and Arms Minister Albert Speer last week calling on the German people to hold firm indicated the party is be ing pushed into the foreground again, possibly so that at a given point it can be blamed for the defeat.
