Called Wars Darkest
News for GERMANY

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Oct 20.-The last
"a hours, in which the Red Army
cracked the German eastern front
deienses in major break, were the
blackest of the war for Germany
Swedish correspondents reported to-
day from Berlin.
The Berlin correspondent of
Aftonbladet said that If Soviet
troops can follow up their smashing
breakthrough the Germans realize
it can't mean anything but catas-
trophe that would put Stalingrad in
shadow"
"As a whole, the war reports since
yesterday have given Germany It's
blackest day since the war started,
even counting Stalingrad." said the
Aftonbladet dispatch, which passed
German censorship.
Reds Growing Stronger.
"It is obvious to every German
that the Russians, not the Germans.

force. instead of growing weaker.
grows stronger, piling up great
troubles for the German Army.
Even the most optimistic German
hesitates now in viewing what is
going to happen"
Swedish correspondents indicated
there had not been so much anxiety
in Berlin since Berliners began to
prepare for aerial warfare against
the Reich capital after the devas-
tation of Hamburg in early August.
There was considerable specula ton
here that there is more behind the
latest conference between Adolf
Hitler and Nazi leaders than an
nounced through official German
agencies.
Solemnly Announces Breach.
Berlin dispatches said Mai. Som
merfeldt, official representative of
the German high command. an
|nounced the breach in the German
lines to press conference with the
solemn words: Il am sorry I have
to announce Russian breakthrough
on the German front"
Stockholm's Tidningen said Som
merfeldt had not used such a solemn
tone or similar words since the fall
of Stalingrad. He made no effort
to hide the fact that the German
situation on the eastern front was

and no longer insisted that the

Results Of First Talks
By Hull, Eden and
MoIotov Satisfactory
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY,
Associated Press War Correspondent

eSSie'Su 1900 w III Correspondent,
MOSCOW, Oct. 20. .-Appar-
emily satisfied with the results OF
their first formal talk last night
Secretary of State Hull, British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Soviet Foreign Commissar
Vyacheslay Molotov settled down
today to a program of daily con-
ferences on wartime and post
war matters.
Their initial meetings lasted for
, hours and Is minutes and, while
no details were announced, it was
understood that the session was sat-
isfactory.
The conferees disclosed that they
will meet once day in Spiridonovka
Palace until their discussions are
concluded. No formal announce
ment concerning the progress of the
talks will be issued while they are
under way.
Issues to Be Ironed Out.
Before last nights session, which
started at o'clock, spokesman
said it would give the three diplo-
mats a chance to share frankly
and freely what's on one another's
mind" Mr. Eden and Mr.. Hull con-
versed at the official residence of
the American Ambassador before
the meeting.
An American spokesman said Mr..
Hull had not prepared a schedule
before coming here and that topics
would take shape as the talks pro-
gressed.
The foundation for future vital
discussions among United Nations
leaders will be largely laid at this
conference, which is not expected to
hit any lasting snags, although
urgent matters will be discussed for
the first time. 1t is expected that
the talks will iron out numerous
issues before other leaders confer.

expressed hope for Roosevelt

No military men attended the first
meeting.
New Lease-Lend Pact Signed.
Meanwhile the signing of the
third lease-lend protocol, which will
bring another years flow of Ameri-
can, British and Canadian supplies
to Russia, was taken here to indi-
cate that closer cooperation among
the nations is assured
while the first meeting in
Moscow was in progress, it was
announced in Washington that
the United States had created a
permanent military mission in
Moscow and that the new lease
lend pact had been consum-
mated.
CThe disclosures heightened
the optimistic attitude with
which Washington had been
viewing the tripower meeting.
The moves were not directly re-
lated with the meeting however,
The second protocol ended three
months ago. but the shipments con-
tinued uninterruptedly during nego-
tiations for the third. Allied sup
plies are now in greater evidence
here than ever.
Favorable to Postwar Trade.
The Russians, who frequently had
manifested satisfaction with lease
lend operations, are understood to
be willing to engage in widespread
postwar trade.
The prospective surplus of capital,
goods. production and machinery in
the United States and the vast ex-
tent Of untouched Russian sources of
raw materials, such as platinum and
manganese, are offered as a solid
basis for trade.
Presumably, complete agreements
would require a balance between
Soviet demands for heightened mil
itary activity and Allied desires for
political cooperation after the war.

large quantities. but it was not easy
Like the other soldiers, in the long intervals
between marches and battles, he had read news
papers, mostly old ones. The thing most discussed
was how the rich behaved. Adam wanted to sur
round himself with beautiful and luxurious things,
amongst which he would entertain hosts of friends.
Most important of all, he must have a beautiful
wife who had to be as good as she was beautiful.
All this would cost money and before he could
work his way up to wealth he would be middle
aged even old, too old at least to enjoy it; and
worst of all, too old to win the love of young,
good and lovely girl he pictured in his mind, with
specifications that were almost as definite those
Pinkerton carried around to identify criminals.
Another set of persons of whom he had read
and pondered was burglars. Burglars made rich
hauls while they were young, but they also spent
too much time in prison. However, burglars were
dull and ignorant Adam felt certain that it was
in him to do better. He decided to adopt that pro-
fesson but not to learn from any of the billiards
who were bungling it. He would teach himself.
He did pretty well on his first job. but not quite
well enough In some way he learned that the
Atlantic Transportation Company, on Liberty
Street in New York, usually carried $500 600 in gold
in its big safe
With infinite care he ceased the job" as it
would be called today, and managed to collect the
necessary tools to break into the building and the
safe.
Without any previous experience and entirely
by his own reasoning he got in, cracked the safe
and then found it had inner compartment
guarded by another steel door. This no
stronger than the outer one, but the side wall Of
the safe made it impossible to use to advantage
the tool which had opened the outer door.
Daylight found him still working vainly for the
lack of just more tool. He had to give up
A few months later he made a second try
against the vault of fire insurance company in
his old home town of Cambridge. This time he
got away with $20000
Now he knew he was good and decided to go
into the business in big way, which would require
subordinates. These however, were to be no low
brow roughnecks recruited from the underworld.
His first recruit Charley Billiard, tall,
slender sensitivey put together with the features
of born musician and a born pianist he was.
Without formal training he so moved his hearers
with his playing that Piano Charley became his
nickname in the underworld as well as in the thigh
world" of European society.
Charley craved romance and rebeled against
the law that tried to deny him easy road to it.
The fingers that could make music the piano
keyboard could be sensitive to the light click of
tumblers on the combination of steel vault. So
he favored robbery shortcut to the realization
of his rich dreams

cedure all over again under another name.
This the easiest money Adam had ever
heard of and too much to resist. How such small
youth not yet Is was accepted is the main mys-
terry. It brought about Adams first meeting with
the Pinkertons
At that time Allan Pinkerton founder of the
organization was Chief of the Federal Secret Ser
vice which foreshadowed the modern +. 3. l. AllanS
son, William A. Pinkerton, at the front, spend
ing his evenings memorizing photographs and de-
scriptions of some of the outstanding bounty
jumpers and his days looking over the new arrivals
from New York.
One morning he saw short, stocky youth keen,
n ark, with deep-set black eyes, a long, forceful
hose and square, clever face. 1t was Adam The
young secret service man sauntered over and said:
my names Pinkerton. You're Adam Worth,
aren't your"
Adam looked up. The little giant was face to
face with his exact opposite the big giant Though
Pinkerton scarcely TO- he was six feet tall and
athletic but his pink, beardless face, with prom
inent blue eyes that had been trained to seem
dopey and absent-minded, gave the impression that
he soft cake"
At first glance he may have looked as easy
the big schooboy Adam had knocked out.
"Glad to meet you, Pinkerton," Adam said.
my name is Salter."
Pnkerton began reading off from memory one
of his fathers handbills:
Last January you took a thousand dollar
bounty to serve in place of Eben Galley of Boston.
You enlisted in the Twenty-third New York Reg
ulars You deserted on March II. In May you
re-ensted under the name of Salter You were
stationed on Rikers Island, New York, then sent
by steamer with your regiment to James River in
Virginia and assigned here"
Worth smiled amiaby. "Now what?'
Pinkerton smiled back "Now I advise you to
stay in the army. Your chances of being shot by
Rebel are one to ten. If you leave the army it's
ten to one that we'll shoot YOU"
Adam laughed II like your arithmetic. Let's
meet some time. Maybe we can do business"
eve can't do business you and /. But if you
desert, we will meet"
They did meet again but only whel one had
become great detective, the other master GRIM
inal They met at the height of Worths career,
hen again at its dramatic close, in which Pinker-
, ,on played crucial part.
Young Adam Was sufficiently impressed by the
others arithmetic to stay in the army for the rest
of the war, fighting in the Battle of the Wilder
ness and other engagements, but coming out with
out scratch.
Then he found himself back in New York ready
to start his career all over again.
There seemed to be about ten young men ahead
of him for each job and even if he got one, there
would be long years of hard work and small pay

own colorful feather, imaginative, greedy for
dom or his neck.
Besides the reformed pianist" he chose two for
their size and strength, big Ike" Marsh and Bob
Cochrane. Worth took his team to Boston and
contemplated the outside of the Boylston Bank on
Washington Street. Next to it store was for rent.
Adam signed long term lease for the place and
furnished it with the taste expected of next-door
neighbor to the Boylston Bank. He laid in big
stock of bottles of stomach tonics and displayed
decoratively as we'll as usefully. They screened
the doings in the store Then he put up partition
that ran parallel to the wall between the store
and bank.
BY day he and Charley Billiard suavely sold
tonics to Bostonians of delicate digestion. By night
