source as to Der Fuehrer's plans,
Lord Rothermere's paper, the Lon
don Daily Mail, which employs Mr..
Price, has been scooping the ears
off the other London sheets on Hitler
stories.
Mr.. Price previously has related
how he and Lord Rothermere were
two of four guests at Mr.. Hitler's
first formal dinner party after he
seized power. That was December
10, 1884. It was about this time that
Eord Rothermere, reaching 80 per
cent of the British reading public,
through his newspapers and press
associations, began his unceasing
campaign for fascism in England.
A third guest at the dinner was E.
w. D. Tenant, of the Anglo-G German
fellowship, fellowship which Lord
Rothermere and Mr.. Price have dill
igently fostered, with their Apologize
Fascisma.
Mr.. Price, educated at Cam
bridge university, is a seasoned
and richly garlanded British war
correspondent. As foreign cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, he
was with the Turkish army i'm
the first Balkan war; he was an
official correspondent at the
Dardanelles, he was with the
British army at Salonika. He
has long been quasi-official re-
porter for the British empire.
He writes concisely, clearly and
expertly, with q keen alertness
for revealing little human
touches and with little concern
for the dry imponderables Of po-
litical or economic theory.
His book, 81 Know These Dicta-
tors" published in this country last
year, was, in the view of this writer,
big news, and should have stirred up
lot of excitement. Principally
about Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus
solini, it builds out of intimately OBJ
served minutiae of their minds and
persons synthesis of virtue, charm
and heroism.
Mr.. Price, in this book, reports
that Adolf Hitler is genteel, humor-
GUS, courageous, chivalrous, abste-
mious, profoundly intellectual, kind
ly, forgiving, unselfish, tender, a
clever story-teller, and loves dogs
and children.
DR. NORBERT WIENER chal-
~ lenges Milton, or Pope or who
ever it was that observed, "Chaos
umpire sits, and by decision more
embroils thefray."
Scientists Ian At last, says this

nology, scientists "can now predict
what will happen in states Of COM
plete confusion"
AS DR.. Wiener explains the new
outreach of the calculus, at the
fourth international congress for ap-
piled mechanics at Cambridge, it
seems to clock everything, from a
case of hiccoughs to Adolf Hitler,
just so long as it is "pure" chaos
and not a mere adulteration. That
ought to let in most of Europe.
He read English at the age Of
three and Latin at five, and en-
tered Tufts college at the age of
IL, finishing in the class of 1910.
He took his masters degree in
1912 and his doctors in 1913,
both at Harvard.
At the age of 10, he was an as.
sistant professor at Harvard, lectur-
ing on "The Theory of knowledge"
DR.. Wiener has kept on steadily
gathering laurels in the groves of

EVENTS of the last few weeks
II have, of course, flushed many
half-pint Hitlers in Europe, chief
among them being young Leon De-
grelle, of Belgium.
A Petftco0t Counted out last
Pufsch Is year, he now
New Threat bounces back with
some show Of pow
err; enough, at any rate, to make a
martial stir of men and horse in
Brussels, with word that he might
start delivery on the terror" which
he has been promising for several
years.
Thirty-two years old, of the
type of a healthy and husky
high-school lad, he is the best
looking of all the Hitler appren-
tees, and there's no knowing but
that he might start the worlds
first great petticoat putsch.
Comely young women have
fiocked to his banner in shoals,
and much of his support has
come from women. He has both
allure and showmanship and few
of the stigmata of the paranoiac,
unless it be his apparent deter
mination to scare everybody to
death.
