TT Is a dramatic Incident. Per- x haps one of the most drama tie In the history of tho world. It has ovon Its humorous aspects. But don't laugh. The quality of the humor In volvcd is too GRIM. flOERING'S spcoch Is starkly revealing. It strips tho mask from tho recent puzzling turn In German propaganda. Before our very ryes.

H In wholesale murderer with the blood of millions drip ping from his hands, ho is naica by avary "living beingln the world outsldo tho circle of hla own blood stained intimates. For him and his crew, IF THEY LOSE, there can be no mercy ANYWHERE ON EARTH. From EVERYWHERE outside tho bordors of original Germany he hears the muttored thunder nt l-lalnff rlffhteOlM Wroth. Insldo Gormony, he senses growing suspicion. . t tic and his bondlt crew can be saved only by a German vic tory.. There can bo no German victory If the German people rrnnlr n tlll-V did In 1818.

Then ho odds: "But whllo the Russians wore fighting the Finns with obsolete arms (to fool tho Germans) they had spent tho lost decade and a half building up the most power ful armnmcnte WHICH HAD EVER BEEN MADE BY ANY NATION." . , . AT, this point a thought occurs to him, Maybe, in his hear ers' minds will arise this ques tion: ' ... V "Is this follow Hitler a god after all?
