Hitler, according to this the

to Germany 10000 900 warriors
who have become accustomed to
some semblance of freedom on
the battlefield, IN the air and

Therefore. the White House
and state department are con-
WINGED that Hitler will have to
employ his soldiers elsewhere
after he has conquered all Of
Europe and the Mediterranean
area. He dare not bring them
home. He would have millions
of assertive and aggressive fell
lows on his hands. and they
might overthrow his regime, az
returning German soldiers and
sailors did the kaiser's in 1918.

Of rehabilitation. Hitler may

of the civilized world, he was
angry enough to quit the home

the public and the limeiight that
was forced upon him. He chose
a home in a quiet corner in a
quiet peaceful country side. Soon
he was ready to move on from
there.
After giving himself a taste
Of the quiet and peace he had

rushing back to the u. s. A,
leaving behind him his wife and
children. Evidently he Is not a
believer in the first law of a

motto to follow.
Now we see the same man
who wanted To live quietly and
at peace. away from all publicity,
daring to criticize our leader and
his own superior officer. thereby
proving his own lack of discip-
line. Many a better man has
