Paris, Jan. i7 = "ooering, speak, ing of me once, declared: otto strasser is Hitlers enemy number one.' n
 "Thats just what am. whyp Because Hitler has drawn Germany into Q second World War and l won't leave any stone unturned to overthrow him and save the fate of my country" #f
 These were the quietly determin. ed words of thin-haired, tight-llp- ped Otto Strasser, Bavarian Organ- izer of the ariti-Naxl Black Front, champion of the liberal German cause. WOULD DIsNEEMBER

 strasser came to Paris to estab- lish contact with the French politi- cal leaders, to get acquainted with their personal views, and to study the possibility of an eventful peace.
 He has carefully weighed the present situation in Germany and, certain that the war will bring ruin to Europe and Germany, he has ere. ated Q stringent formula which he believes will avert the cataclysn.
 If the war lasts three and Q half years, and if the German army Is annihilated, I am certain that Germany will have to face Q second Treaty of Versailles, if not worse. This Is why l have told my friends that 1t is our national duty to di- rect our efforts towards Hitler's

 If this can be accomplished, we may hope for Q long and equitable peace. The terms would be: restore C2echoslovakia and Poland; return c plebiscite to Aus tria; dismember Germany Into 6 federal state; wipe out Prussia.

Tn 1888, he had to leave Germany for Prague, There, he pursued his activities against Hitler, published news papers and organized party out- side of Germany with contacts in Germany.

Ye old sign post, short and round, Placed on the Green, young and sound, You have been there, Oh, so long, Waiting for the final gong. You did job, patient, brave, And the best you always gave, You may Dc wiser, than know, But some day, you must surely 60. Through al the many lonely years, You have held back cries and tears, As the tacks, your sap, has sadly spent And your stout heart will finally rent Some day you will De replaced, By c device, not 90 defaced, And leaving, you will proudly boast T was darn good, old sign post"
