never achieved any higher rank than that of corporal. He was gaSs- ed on the French front and for a time was in danger of losing his sight.
 The war oyer, he was once more at loose end. He might have become mere bar-room orator but for the fortuitous meeting in one Munich saloon with a few hum- ble fellows who were trying to form a new political party which hated the newly-organized German re- public and yet had no love for the monarchy which had disappeared. Hitler joined this party, injected anti-S -SemitiSn into 1t as one of its main blanks, and by and by became boss of the tiny organization. Also he rechistened it with pompous and high-sounding name which in- dicated 1t was both nationalist and socialist and which was quickly ab- breviated into "Nazi'- the name which was to become famous.
 Party Grew Slowly
 The Nazi party at first did not shoot up like a sunflower. In fact, its growth was very slow, until Hitler combining with Hermann Goering, who had joined the party, and General Eric Ludendorff, who hated the republic, tried the ahor- tive putsch of 1923. It looked as if all Hitler got out of this was the mild sentence of five years confine- ment in a fortress, the Republic

NEVINS LECTURES

Prominent New York Or ganist Conducts Forum
 at Second Church

William I. Nevinns, organist of the First Presbyterian church, New York, director of the Guilmant Music school and religious music editor of the New York Sun spoke on church music yesterday at the forum in the Second Congregation al church. Choirmasters and organ ists representing several towns and cities in the western section of the state attended the forum which was under the auspices of the de- partment of music in religious edu cation of the Connecticut state Fed eration of Music clubs.
 Forums are held at least twice year, but yesterdays was the first in this city since 1881. Speakers at the opening of the forum yesterday were Mrs. Frederick R. Fish, presi- dent of the f ederation; Lyman Bunnell, organist and choirmaster of the Naugatuck Congregational church, and Miss Pauline Voorhees,. organist and choirmaster of Center church of New Haven.
 The evening program was pre- Sented by the choirs of the Neuga- tuck Congregational church, the Second Congregational church of Waterbury, the First Methodist and First Raptists churches.
 Other organistS taking part in the program were Frances Beach Carlson of the First Baptist, Carl J. Jenson of the Second Congrega- tional, and Charles Platt, choir di- rector of the First Methodist. More than 100 voices were included in the chorus made up of the four choirs.

Forty Eighth Birthday Finds Hitler
 At Peak of Power and RuthleSSneSS

fbeing gentler in its punishments than the Nazis afterwards proved themselves to be. Quickly released, after one of the frequent amnestieS then SO common in Germany, Hitler found that his party was growing, thanks to the advertisement 1t had received.
 From that time, the Nazis in- creased in power, what with a strong representation in the Reichstag, the organization of large private army (the famous Brown Shirt outfit), the foundation of a fighting press and the building up of Nazi units in every part of the Reich. The cul- minating point came on January 30, 1883, when President linden burg made Hitler Chancellor of the Reich.
 There followed Q succession of dizzying strokes which demon- strated Hitlers' daring will to power. He made the constitution of the country a scrap of paper. He con- verted the Reichstag into a simple assembly of yes-nen. He abolished free speach, free press and free as- sembly. He squelched all political parties except his own. He smashed the trades unions. He made of the Jews g set of outcasts. He made war upon organized Christianity.
 Power Is World Rocking
 Hitler next proceeded to alarm all Europe by a series of definant deeds. He tore the Treaty of Versailles into tatters by building big army, a powerful air force and potent navy. He marched German troops into the demilitarized Rhineland re- zion. He took Germany out of the League of Nations. He denounced Soviet Russia in terms of excessive bitterness. He alarmed both Eng land and France by his loud de- mand for the colonies stolen from Germany under the Versailles Treaty.
 Today the whole world listens when the horse voice of the one- time house painter booms out. His every word is weighed by anxious ministers. His every accent is analy- zed. At 48 Adolf Hitler holds a power for good or evil which may prove 8 turning point in the history of white Christian civilization.

Bx MILTON RRONNER

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London, April 20 When today Adolf Hitler celebrates his 18th birthday anniversary, he will be at the apogee of his fame and power.
 The years have not softened him.
 Responsibilities as Leader of the German nation and chief of the Nazi party have not moderated his ruthleSSneSs.
 Rather, assurance of his grip on Germany, his firm hold on the arm ed forces, his still effective magnet ism for the masses, all have armed him with a supreme confidence in his star and his mission. He will brook no rivals. He will permit no opposition. Men and forces that stand in his way must be crushed without pity and without misgiving.
 He bids fair to be the undisputed master of Germany for many years to come. He also promises to be an incalculable force in European and world politics for many years to come.
 Those who hoped for a revolt against him among Germans realize 1t was vain illusion. Those who hate him and hoped the polypus in his throat would cause him to fade from public life, have been that de- sire smashed by the healthy boom of jlis heavy voice as he talks to his assembled thousands. Hitler, at 48, is very much on top. His power is growing instead of 1eSSening.
 Misfit In Youth The chances are very strong that, when he was born in the simple home of a minor Austrian customs official, neither of his par ents say any good fairies around, bringing a multitude of gifts for the child they named Adolf. And the chances are equally great that for neny years Adolf himself did not believe that any miracle was going to be vouchsafed him.
 A common school education was followed by short attempt to fit himself for the career of an archi- tect. Then little space when he hoped to be 8 water color artist
