they expected Willard to win,

Until the past election. the

United Press Cable Editor

Was the seed of this war soWn
by the marriage in December OF
1897 of Field Marshal Werner Won
Blomberg to the obscure Fraulein
Erika Gruhn?
Sir Neville Henderson, who was
British ambassador to Berlin dur
ing the trying days before the war,
propounds the idea in frank and
fascinating report to the British
foreign secretary, issued in London
as a diplomatic document.
It would seem absurd to attri-
butte the start Of a war to such
a trivial incident. But wait. Sir
Nvile proceeds to develop his the
sis with convincing logic.
Blombergs marriage was resent
ed by the aristocrats of German
army high command because of his
wife's humble social position. Hit
Ter blessed the marriage and at
tended it as a witness. But the
revolt of the high command forced
him to accept the resignation of
Blomberg and Gen. Werner Won
Fritsch, commander of the army,
in the purge" of January, 1888
With Blomberg and Won Fritsch
went IA other ranking officers.
Hitler Resentful
Hitler was resentful and in a
dictatorial tantrum retaliated by
easing from responsible poitisns the
men who threw Blomberg out. The
result, Henderson's document indi-
Gates, was the elimination of some
of the bst brains and more cautious.
conservative leaders of the army.
Power was concentrate in Hit
Ter. No longer did ne have to listen
to the sage advice of the generals
who had acted as brake on what
HENDERSON calls his "brainstorms"
of conquest.
To quote Sir Neville:
THE tragedy of any dictator is
that as he goes on, his encourage
steadily and inexorably deterior-
ates. For lack Of the freedom of
utterance, he loses the services Of
his best men. All opposition be-
comes intolerable to him.
"All those, therefore, who are
bold enough to express an opinion
contrary to his views are shed one
by one and he is in the end sur
rounded by mere yes men whose
flattery and counsels alone are en-
durable TO him"
I'm my report on the events of
1888, I drew your lordship's Gord
Halifax attention to the far-reach-

pieces of deckwork, masts and
smokestacks flew up into the air,
giving the impression that the en-
tire ship was completely blown to
smithereens.
Saw Second Ship
After the smoke of the explo-
S ons cleared away I sighted the
second ship lying slightly south
ward of the other. There is no
doubt in my mind that this must
have been the Repulse. We loosed
another torpedo and saw another
huge waterSpout.
MY next thought was to get
away. We did not want to be cap
tured and spend the rest of the
war in a British prison camp. So
we went out again past the submar-
inc barrage. AS we escaped into the
open sea we could hear dull thuds,
sounding like depth charges, and
at the same time saw searchlights
playing on the water"

ing and unfortunate results Of the
Blomberg marriage. I am more than
ever convinced Of the major dis
aster which that in itself minor
incident, involved, owing to the
consequent elimination from Herr
Hitler's encourage of the more
moderate and independent of his
after February of alSt year,
saying that any German interven-
ton in Danzig to the detriment of
Poland would be considered an act
of aggression.
Final BrainstOrm
Says Henderson:
Il have little doubt that the lat
ter phase served more than any
..ling else to produce that final
ainstorm in Herr Hitlers mind,
Oh (which the peace of the world
depended and on which it always
must have depended SO long as the
fate not only OF Germany but also
of Europe rested in the hands OF
a single irresponsible individual" :"
Sir Neville, while not pretending
to psyche -analyze him, said that
Hitler combines a profound admir-
alton of Britain as a great leader
of the Nordic race and a sincere
desire for her friendship, with envy
of her achievements and hatred OF
her opposition to Germany's excess
sive aspirations.

Sing Special Mass
For Pope Pious

A large number of Catholics gath
cred at ST. Joseph's church Tues
day morning at o'clock to partici-
pate in a special service for Pope
Pious X who died at the Vatican
lust before daYbreak Friday morn
ing. The body was entombed IN a
crypt in St. Peters on Tuesday amid
a service of great magnificence and
solemnity From the time of his
death until the entombment, thou
sands of reverent and sorrowing
people gathered to pay their respects
and for last view of the man whom
they loved and trusted and who to
them was the vicar of Christ here
on earth. 1t is estimated that close
to 100000 people gathered to pay
this honor to their dead pope, the
largest assemblage ever to gather
under similar circumstances.
Pope Pious was born at Desio,
near Milan, on May 81, 1857. of COM
paratively poor parents. Early IN
boyhood he gave evidence Of bril-
liant mental talents and with the
attainment of manhood moved up
rapidly to the exalted position he
held at his death. He was known
as a man who loved peace but who
never feared to take up vigorously
the fight against oppression and
against anything he considered
wrong. During the trying times Of
recent years he has stood steadfast-
ly against the doctrines and policies
of the dictators, and criticized then
sfor their race antagonism and Their
prosecutions of minorities. He car.
ried with him to his tomb the re
spect of all christendom, to tomb
of which he once said, Some day

place.
