Hitler'S blood-purge of June
80 threatens to lose him the
loyalty Of his personal army,
the 100000 Storm Troops.
Today, as president-chancellor,
Der Fuehrer and all highest, his
mainstay is the reichswehr-the
standing army. And the heart
strings of that army are tuned to
Hindenburg's, not Hitler's.
1t would be a tremendous mistake
to overlook or under estimate the
old field marshal's farewell to his
troops and to the German people
when he unbuckled his sword and
laid down his pen for the last time.
Comrades of the Germany army"
he said in his army farewell, "once
proud and mighty German army!
Like Siegfried, stricken down by
the treacherouS spear of savage
Hagan, our weary front collapsed.
For the time being a flood Of
wild political passions and sounding
speeches has overwhelmed the
ancient structure of our state, and
apparently destroyed all our sacred
traditions.
Hope in Young Germany"
yet this flood will subside again.
Then from the tempestuous i'm
perial houSe-to which the hopes OF
our father chung in days Of yore,
and on which the future of our
fatherland was confidently set by
our own efforts nearly half a CEN
fury ago.
Then, and then only. will the
blood of all those who fell believing
in the greatness of Germany have
been poured out not in vain.
In that hope lay down my pen
and firmly build on you-young
Germany"
Germany's present standing army
rs the concentrated essence of the
old 1t is small, but it is the most
perfectly trained force in the world.
Every private in It's ranks is said to
NC GdpdOAN "a
a company or regiment.
That army, by training and by
tradition in the end is far more
likely to take its commands from
Hindenburg in the shadowy halls Of
Valhalla than from Hitler in his
headquarters at Berlin-unleSs that
is, Hitler quickly develops a type of
craftsmanship which as yet, he has
failed to show.
Sentiments Are Tradition
Won Hindenburg quoted Field
Marshal Won Boyen, PruSsian war
minister of 1911. to describe his
feelings during the trying times in
Germany following the war.
II am not in any way ignorant of
the dangers of our situation" he
said, but where we have no alter
native but subsection or honor, re-
ligion gives me the strength to do
everything which right and duty de-
mand.
Man can never see with certainty

Warden Kunkel, head of the
prison, from which five men escaped
Saturday to climax a series of
breaks over the past year, escaped
all censure in the report, though
lesser officials were castigated Sc
verely and suggestions for structural
changes at the prison were made.
MY report was not a whitewash
of any one" protested Mr.. Coy. In
fact, in my opinion, it was an in
dictment against any one up there" "
The report was made public yes
terday at Michigan City following
a several days investigation of con-
ditions at the prison.
1t laid the blame for the prison
break on alleged negligence on the
part of Captain w. G. Griswcld ano
guards William Netzel, Harry
Parker, N. E. Burns and B. G
Ferguson. Two of these men, Girls
void and Netzel, already have been
dismissed.
Suggestions that discipline be
stricter for both prisoners ano
guards were coupled with those that
structural improvements to prison
building be made.
The five prisoners who escaped
last Saturday fled from the prison
hospital.
In his report, Mr.. Coy charged
Captain Griswold with failing to as
sign officers to guard the outer wall
after a report the prisoners were
attempting to escape.
Tip Received, Is Report
Netzel, who was on guard duty in
the hospital, was charged with fail
ing to report finding a skeleton key
prior to the escape.
The report accused Parker of fall
ing to notify guards on the wall OF
the break and Burns of not hav-
ing notified superior officers when
he heard footsteps Of the five escap-
ing prisoners on the hospital roof.
Ferguson had received a tip that
the escape was to be attempted at
least two weeks before it took place
and failed to notify other author!-
ties, it was charged.
The escape was rehearsed July
during a baseball game, Mr.. Coy
said he learned.
Accompanying Mr.. Coy's report
was a statement from Governor
McNutt attributing the escape prl-
marily to alleged failure or negll-
gence of old employees and lack OF
proper equipment.
Governor Makes Statement
Conditions at the state prison
as revealed by the reports of the
American Prison Association and
other investigating bodies, have not
been satisfactory for several years,
the report said.
The two deplorable deliveries
during recent months were due pri-
marily to negligence of old en-
ployes and the lack of proper
equipment.
Continuing, the Governor COM
mented:
Management of the states penal
institutions has been a matter OF
deepest concern. The advice of the
nations leading experts has been
sought. Their recommendations, as
we'll as those set out by Mr. Coy
will be followed as soon as funds are
available
Changes in personnel will be
made when and where indicated.
