Bombers to End Truce.
If Hitler makes this decision
against all cautionary advice by his
generals he will 60 all the way In his
fury Of onslaught. That truce in
the air will be ended by the crash
Of his bombers. He talks. of q new

defense. Is there any mystery about
that? 1t is poison gas Of the foulest
kind. There Is an alternative which
may delay this armageddon for the
destruction Of all that is beautiful
and lovely in human life. It may
be delayed by the peace efforts OF
Mussolini and others working des-

Is Goering, who does not want
that, strong enough to restrain him?
Are his generals sure enough Of
their own command to insist upon
their own caution? That is very
improbable. Therefore the odds are
In favor of stupendous attacks in
the west during the coming months.
Probably within the next week or
two Germans troops will be ordered
to regain the heights above Saar-
