American authorities on inter
national affairs are duly wor-
ried over the developments in
Germany.
Although they hesitate to pub
licly condemn the executions of
the German reign of terror, they
are willing to make cauStic cas-
legations of the present regime
in private.
They fear the internal con-
flict in Germany may lead to
other complications of an inter
national nature, but refuse to
make public their views, believ-
ing Germ a n representatives
might protest.
One of the outstanding official
observers of international af-
fairs was making a fiery denun-
citation of the Hitler regime
recently. He termed the
present reign of terror as the
greatest crime that could oc-
cur in a civilized country"
Advocating that Hitler be re-
moved from the head of govern
ment, he called attention to the
fact that Capt. Ernst Roehm,
former head of the Storm
Troops, had been given the
choice of shooting himself or
being shot. Roehm chose the
latter course.
CONN ting on Roehm's
death, the official said:
"ROehm had been a close
friend of Hitler's. He should
have taken the pistol, sought an
audience with Hitler on the
basis of the old friendship and
shot him.
"He would have been the
greatest hero of the civilized
WOrId!"
He said he believed that if
Hitler were removed, the better
crowd would take over the
German government and end
the internal conflict that has
been in evidence.
Comparing the German situ-
alton to the French Revolution,
the observer said:
Leaders who objected to
slow court procedure, set up
tribunals, made their own rules
of evidence and procedure, and
shunted people through mock
trials to their deaths.
'ThOSe same leaders were
eventually hailed before the
tribunals of their creation and
when they asked for time it
was denied and they were sent
to the guillOtine.
''Men were SO desperate, not
knowing when their own lives
would be demanded, that they
took the lives of the leaders
who could order them slain.

he continues his present des-
pOtic rule!"

MY UNTOLD STORY
Bu Robert BenchLeu

For the benefit of those who
are not following the startling
untold stories" of gun molls,
millionaires, gangsters, scarlet
women and other celebrities
they are currently unfolding

a brief resume of my own un-

able that day turned out to be

the fact that I just had to

that it was 1917.

knocking about in chain of
New England mills. I had also
worked for a year in New York
before.
So, you will see, New Year
Day, 1916, fond me wide-eyed
and innocent, although I had
heard that New York was full
of pitfalls for young men like
me. I remember asking the
policeman just outside the
Grand Central Terminal where
I could find the nearest pitfall.
He told me that, it being a
legal holiday the pitfalls were
all closed.
I neither drank nor smoked,
and my experience with women
