AHuring San Antonio
By Lille May Hugner. tn
MnnInr % Cnn An fnt1in Ter

By Lille May Hugner. The
Naylor Co.. San Antonio, Ter.
One of the memorable things
about San Antonio is the startling
iuxtaposition of old and new. The
300-year-o San Fernando Cathe-
dral stands between a tall modern
bank building and a parking lot.
Surrounding the famed Alamo are
a large Office building, the post Office,
a row of stores. a hotel and the
largest department store in the city
all modern. Yet. somehow, the
historic landmarks do not seem to
suffer from rubbing elbows with the
world of today. Together the two
modes form a distinctive pattern.
This individual character of San
Antonio has been portrayed we'll in
this little volume, which is Illustrated
bv the author with drawings and
etchings done at random over a
period of several years.
But Miss Hagner's interests extend
far beyond the routine of San An
tonic sightseeing trips. The wooden
scroll work that recalls an architec-
tural whim of half century ago, the
Chinese drought back from Mexico
by Gen. Pershing) who speak
English with a Spanish accent, the
shaded quiet of the original German
settlement along Prince William
street-such items are as much q
part of San Antonio's individuality
as any of its historic buildings, and
Miss Hagner covers them all.

NV New Order

By Adolf Hitler. Edited by
Rdoul de RousSy de Sales.
Introduction by Raymond
Gram S1Oing. Reynai &
Hitchcock, Ne,c York.
This volume of 987 pages contains
selected speeches of Adolf Hitler
made between March. 1922. and
June. l94i. The occasion for each
address is described in a commen-
tary, together with the situation in
Germany and in Europe generally.
At the end of each speech there are
also quotations from the leading
newspapers of the world to show
how Hitlers mouthings have been
received through the years of his
ascent The volume will certainly
contribute immensely to any his
torical understanding OF the present
period and, while many of us just
NOW will feel too strong disgust
to want to pick it up. there can be
no question that it is highly val
liable thing
The impressive point about it. to
the reviewers mind. is that almost
any single address in the volume
reads convincingly that almost all
the speeches have an internal coher-
ence If you did not know that the
foundation on which they are all
built was mass of falSehOOdS. if you
were as ignorant or as willing to be
deceived as the German people, that
is to say. you might easily be con-
vinCed of the truth of any separate
one of the collection. There is an
Alice -through-the-looking glass kind
of logic about them. Accept the COM
pletely mendacious premises, and
the conclusions are in order. The
| consistency OF this condition
throughout the volume has. indeed.
! a terrible sort Of fascination The
boldneSS with which an asserted lie
| must stand out in the readers mind
against the known truth becomes
stunning. After so many pages of
it. the mind begins to yield. and one
Is aware of the same kind of night
mare pull as one feels, sometimes,
| looking at water above a cataract.
Just that pull, of course. just that
yielding has led the German people
| to hurl themselves into their pres
ent abyss of lies, blood, violence and
! horror.
! Much praise must be given Mr. de
Sales editing All who have heard
Hitler agree that he cannot be trans
lated in full literally "Hitler's
style says Mr. de Sales in his fore
word. reflects the incompleteneSs Of
his early education. His grammar
| is incorrect; his sentences often con-
! fused to the point of obscurity. His
| crudity frequently borders on down.
! right vulgarity. =" Added to these
defects is the fact that Hitler's
oratorical style is extremely repe-
| titious," and, for the sake of readers
! patience. many repetitions have been
eliminated But despite these edi-
torial Qualifications and parings. the
speeches are overwhelmingly as Hit
Ter delivered them. Any one who has
read "Mein Kampf' will recognize
that without the slightest difficulty.

MOSCOW, Aug. % (UP)
The gigantic S110,000,00O
Dnieper river dam which
which symbolized Bolshevik
industrialization of Russia
has been destroyed by the Red
army, an official spokesman said
tonight.
The blowing up of the famous
dam was part of the huge, ruthless

machinery and materials in the
occupied zone of the Ukraine, 1t

Peasants and workers in the Uk-

version. Even the machinery of the
dam and power plant near Zapor-
ozhe, 60 miles south of the industrial
center of Dniepropetrovsk, was put
beyond the reach or use of the
Germans.
CThe German version as given
out recently in Berlin was that the
Russians attempted to blow up the
Dnieper dam but that it was SO big
and so we'll built that they failed
to destroy it,
