HITLER IN DRIVE TO REGAIN EVERYTHING LOST BY RICEH
Death or War, Only
Hitler Curb, Says
KniCkerbOCker

bdecidedly in favor of the Pro
Americans. How many votes
would be cast against the ticket?
What justifies the comparison
is, first, Hitler and his party have
identified him with Germany; sec.
ond, that Nazi Germany is spirit.
ually at war with a hostile world.
Like every dictatorship, when
the time comes to ask the people
for support, the Nazi dictatorship
stresses danger to Germany from
abroad.
The German people in normal
times might not have buried de.
mocracy under a mountain Of bal
lots, nor would they have planted
its tombstone with shouts. hur
rahS and a torchlight procession
Of storm troopers which flowed
last night like river through the
streets of Berlin.
People Fear Foreign Menace
But the German people have
been persuaded that they live un-
der the constant menace of war
and that in order to prepare for
defense they must, like soldiers in
the army, submit tn m w e S
unanimously to the commander
in-chief. In Hitler's words:
1T is not who needs to
strengthen my position by vote
of confidence, but it is the Ger.
man people who need a chancel-
lor backed by that confidence
before the whole world"
He has his vote now. He is the
only one of Europe's dictators who
ever dared ask the people for it.
The Nazi storm troopers have
made Hitler the political boss of
Germany, the German army made
him Caesar, and today the Ger
man people have said that they
like it.
Power Is Unrivalled
LII p4enlCude OF power ne mas no
rival abroad. He has no rival at
home. Within Germany there are
only rivals for his lieutenancies.
The storm troops. once so
powerful, rendered to Hitler yes
terday what may prove to be their
last service in their old form.
They are 100000 strong.
One of Htiler's first acts after
the plebiscite is expected to be a
reorganization and reduction of
the storm troops, which were per,
mitted to come back in full
strength after their painful July
vacation and were kept in service
to help whip voters into line.

LACK Of CLUES
BALKS K|DNAP
ROUNDUP
Millionaire Refuses to Give
Police Gang Description;
Chief InCenSed
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN


LONDON, Ontario, Aug. 90
G.N.SO.-In an atmosphere of
the utmost secrecy, authorities to.
day renewed their efforts to
catch up on a cold trail" and
track down the four men who per
petrated Canada's first major kid
naping-the abduction of John s.
Labatt, wealthy brewer.
1t was impossible to learn what
progress-if anyways being made
by the police. But the impression
seemed to be growing that the
authorities were up against a stone
wall.
Victim Silent
Mr.. Labatt himself will not talk.
He was still in seclusion today at
the home of his brother, Hugh
Labatt. in London. He has almost
completely recovered from the or
deal he went through while held
captive by the kidnapers for 81
hours before he was released early
last Friday morning.
Neither Mr.. Labatt nor the
police has yet revealed whether
any ransom was paid. The general
belief, however, is that the KID
napers exacted about $4,000 from
the Labatt family before they re-
leased their prisoner on the out
skirts of Toronto.
The only explanation for the
failure of Mr.. Labatt and his
brother Hugh to tell the authori-
ties the brewer had been freed is
that John Labatt must have been
warned by the kidnapers to keep
his lips sealed and give the
snatch" gang plenty of time 70
get away.
It gals the police to know that
they were in the Royal York Hotel
in Toronto at the very moment
John Labatt walked in and asked
to be shown to his brothers room.
They had been working with Hugh
Labatt for two days and they anti
cipated if he learned anything of
significance they would be the
first to whom he would report.
Police Left Cold"
Instead, John and Hugh Labatt
got in an automobile and drove
100 miles to their home in Lon
don. 1t was necessary for Chief
Inspector John Miller, of Ontario
provincial police, to follow them
there to get the story of the kid
mapping.
1t was at least IL hours after
Mr.. Labatt had been freed that
Inspector Miller had the brewers
story of the abduction.
Whether John Labatt told the
police all he knows is still mat
ter of conjecture. Naturally this
strange aspect Ct the case has
aroused lot of speculation and
rumors. The continued silence of
Mr.. Labatt has served to increase
the number and variety of the
rumors.

BALLOT GIVES
HIM FULL
POWER
One in 10 Vote Against Him
In PIebiscite; Seeks Re-
turn of Saar First

BERLIN, Aug. 20 G.N.S0.
Flushed with his latest victory at
the polls-a triumph marred by
the fact that one in every 10 Ger
mans voted against him-Adolf
Hitler left Berlin for his Bavarian
mountain retreat today.
The leader-chancellor, who be-
came the worlds supreme autocrat
when 28,363,76O Germans voted
him powers which no Kaiser ever
welded, signalized his achieve
ment by notice to the world that
he will not be satisfied until Ger
many regains all she has lost. He
said:
Everything German in the
world belongs to Germany, and
we must, as we'll as possible un.
der the existing treaties, seek to
win everything German back"
Bids for Saar Vote
Hitler's declaration, his only
public utterance since the plebis-
cite, was made before a delegation
of 1000 enthusiastic NaZis from
the Saar Valley, who will vote in
a referendum on January Is next
to determine whether the territory
should be returned to Germany,
go to France, or remain under
League of Nations mandate. Hit
Ter said:
"No matter what happens, we
will never desert you. Yesterday
you saw how Germany sticks to-
gether in bad times. There will
soon be a time when you will
not need to come to me. Then
i can come to you, and it will be
the most beautiful journey of
my life"
"NOES" MINIMIZED
Hitler's conviction that the Saar
plebiscite would result in return
to German rule was in the same
vein as official declarations re-
garding the outcome of yester-
days voting, all of which mini
mized the fact that 4,294,754 Ger
mans cast Noes" to the chancel-
lor's demand for complete power
in the Reich.
The voting was officially de-
scribed as IAN overwhelming con-
fession of confidence on the part
of the German people in its
leader"
Has Complete Power
Now possessing all executive
and legislative authority, Hitler
can:
Declare war and make peace.
Sign treaties and Great ALI
ances.
Nullify all existing legislation.
Employ or discharge any and
all civil service employees not
protected by existing civil SER
vice laws.
Pardon any convicted criminal
and abrogate any court decisions.
Weld supreme authority over
the army navy, and air force.
Declare state of national
emergency, enabling armed &C.
ton, if necessary, against any
dissident sector of the German
state.
Success Claimed
Yesterdays election was sue
cess, it is now claimed officially,
despite the rash statement last
Monday in his speech opening the
campaign by DR.. Paul Joseph
Goebbels, minister of propaganda
and public enlightenment, who
said:
''If there is one less vote for
Hitler than there was in the
November elections, there will
be a sigh of relief among Ger
many's enemies
There we're more than 100000
votes less.

which contains not only coup but
a neat end play as well.
Miss White sat in the East and
when her partner in the West
passed the one diamond bid she
realized that her partner could not
have much.
She had to decide whether to
double and hope to find her partner
with four spades, or to take the bull
by the horns and bid four hearts.
She elected the latter course as she
decided that with her seven hearts
in her hand it, certainly was worth
a try.

MISS WHITES first play was a
lfI small spade which was taken
in dummy with the king. She re-
turned the ten of hearts and North
refused to cover. If North had
played the queen, of course, then
Miss White would not have to lose
a heart trick.
When the ten spot held she de-
cided that North probably held four
hearts to the queen. If that was
the case she would have to ruff
herself down 70 the same number
of trumps as North, so she led a
small club and ruffed with the seven
of hearts. To make sure of the
heart distribution she played the
ace of hearts, but South showed out,
discarding diamond.
Miss White now decided to play
for the spade break, so played two
rounds of spades, but on the second
spade, South showed out. Her next
