MILFORD CHRONICLE MILFORD DELAWARE FRIDAY OCTOBER

gan was Deutschland Uber Allies,
Today, in the opinion Of many for
eign correspondents, the Third Reich
could be more or less iustifiabIy
plaearded with signs proudly read
ing Hitler uber Europa" Six years
ago Hitler was generally regarded
as a relatively harmless sword WELD
er who had small chance OF getting
anywhere with the astounding pro-
gram laid down in Mein Kampf-
the book he write in prison. Today
Hitler dominates the continent to
perhaps a greater degree than any
man since Napoleon, and a remark
able number of the detectives de-
tailed in Mein KamDf have been
achieved.
Furthermore, Hitler's bloodless at
tainment of Sudeten Czechoslovakia
is certainly. one Of the greatest tri-
umphs of what might be termed mil
liant diplomacy, in the history Of the
modern world. No military author
ity thinks that Germany could have
won had England and France held
to their treaties and gone to war.
But Hitler, interpreters close to the
situation say. determined upon a |
great gamble. He knew that France
and England dreaded war, and were
Mortified at the prospect Of what a |
great air attack would do to their I
cities. He knew that a large seq
ment of their populations agreed
with the Daladier-Chamberlain pol
icy of peace-at-any-price, and that
those who wanted to take a stronger
line. such as Eden. were apparently
in the minority. And so he, came
logically to the conclusion that If he
stuck to his demands without COM
promise, the French and British
would talk a great deal, would make
also. when the deadline
neared. would capitulate. The great
gamble won. The Fuehrer had
guessed right.
1t is of the highest significance

Hitler. his ally Mussolini, Daladier
and Chamberlain. Germany got prac-

What has been the response to all
this? There is one school In this
country which praises the French
British concessions. But 1t is a small
school, and the great bulk Of COM
mentators and newspapers have been
bitter in their denuneiation of what
they term a 'sell-out" to the dicta-
tors that will inevitably breed more
serious troubles later on. Washing
ton correspondents say that no one
high in our state department be-
lieves Hitler's statement that the
Sudeten is the last demand he win
make in Europe. He has said the
same thing before-during the Saar
basin controversy, for instance-and
has always broken his word. The
general expert feeling is that this u.s.
just the beginning-that he will let
a certain amount Of time elapse, and
then turn his attention to other de-
sired areas, such as the rich Tx
raine, and possibly, Alsace-Lorraine

iron-two essential materials the
Reich almost entirely lacks at press

I consented absent-mindedly; I

Liselotte's vagaries. We had had
a gruelling day; I had tried in
vain to get some accurate in

was perturbation there, too, for
the Swiss general staff had sud-

had descended upon my central

hitherto, she was no indulging
in flights of inspired fancy utterly
foreign to her creed.
It transpired that Liselotte had
been taken some time before to
a kind of revivalist mission which
held it's services in an isolated
house on the Kirchenfeld and
there she had seen the light"
and discovered in herself the
healing power"
The mission was composed of
several men and women, of various
nationalities, who, in spite of the
war, Travelled the world and
brought the consolation of the
Word" to a troubled universe.
Liselotte, I understand, had
come under the individual spell

she called pompously. THE Holy

how wonderful it will be when he
can lay aside his heavy surgical
boot, when his leg stretches nor

That is why I ask permission
to live at the mission and work for
the Holy Father-the more 1 am
near him, the better my spirit will
work on his and bring about the
miracle"
AN ELUSIVE OUTFIT
Thus Liselotte became the un-
paid maid of all work at the house
on the Kirchenfeld.
There was, at that time, a
brand new, mysterious outfit,
which had spread its net over
France and England and pene-
trated even to the various fronts.
It was elusive in the extreme.
