through Boston's shopping district
today to guard against possible

abashed, doffed shirt, trousers and
shoes. When Mrs William Capt.
thorne, almost hysterical, refused
to disrobe, the bandits tied her
hands and sat her on the floor.
Hands Of the single women were
tied. too. From Sylvia Beals they
took diamond ring and wrist
watch, and from Iris a diamond
engagement ring. When she plead

Vice-President John n

HITLER SPEECH
AWAITED WITH
MUCH ANXIETY
Great Britain With Other
Nations Hope He Will
Talk for Peace
By FREpERICK KUH

(Copyright 1886 BY United Press
London, May 17-(U.P.) -Adoli
Hitier's speech to the German
Reichstag Tuesday night is expect.
ed to mark definite turning point
in the ornaments crisis. It is'to be
followed on Wednesday by a de-
bate on national defense in the
British house of commons. If Hit
ler's speech is temperate and offers
any practicable basis for negotia-
tions, indications were to-day that
Great Britain will hasten to take
advantage of it.
Hope He Speaks Peace
All but the most reactionary
British opinion will be disappoint-
ed. and dismayed, If when Hitler
faces his Nazi Reichstag at s p. m.
Tuesday he does not make speech
which will give Europe another
chance to turn toward peace. Like
Benito Mussolini of Italy, he has
often made such gestures at a
time when his critics looked to him
for explosive talk. For weeks now.
Germany and Britain have been
talking directly at each other in
public announcements. Hitler's
last word-indirect like all the rest
was a graceful tribute to King
George on his 25th anniversary cele-
bration May 9th.
Anthony Edin's Opinion
Anthony Eden, Lord Privy Seal
and unofficial understudy to Sir
John Simon, told a meeting of East
London conservatives last night
Europe's difficulties were formid-
able but not insurmountable. He
regretted Germany's unwillingness
to return to the League of Nations.
He revived a plan for French, Ger
man and Italian armies of 100000
men each, and said that If Ger
many must have 100000 men,
equality was unattainable by agree
ment. He said he could not see
Russia as the menace Germany
did, and that If any nation felt in
secure its best recourse was to the
