 transport planes in and get them parked when they finally started to arrive. But this was no normal operation. There was nothing on the ground except Capt. Edwin M, Howison of Columbus, O., division aid support officer, and Q crash truck he had begged from division ordnance.
 LET'S GO!
 But that didn't delay the opera ton. The transports, flying in twin V's of three planes each, came sweeping in--one following the oths CTS landing by few seconds. They followed Captain Howisons jeep off the runway to parking strips along the side of the field. The air- crews themselves pulled the gas cans off the planes and stacked them in the field. They were coming in so fast that army trucks waiting to haul the gas away, couldn't keep up with them. Soon the green and white field began to look like c gar den, with neat clumpS of red-petaled yellow flowers, as the yellow gas cans with their red "S0 octane" la. bel-discs began to crowd the field,
 Sometimes there were as many NS 40 planes on the ground at one time. Always there were some queued up, waiting to take off, and others circling overhead. waiting to land, Within about 10 minutes after landing, the pilots would say "Okay, let's go" as calmly as If they meant Lets go to the corner for Q coke"
 And the big planes taxied down the runway and were back in the air-headed for more gasoline in Britain and Q return trip.

If we are to protect ourselves from Hltler's system we must thoroughly know his technique. There cannot be the slightest doubt that in the period of unrest and revolution fol- lowing World War II, imitatorS of Hitler will spring up like toadstools all over the globe, Ills method seems almost Q foolproof way to success for the man who can create enough uncertainty and chaos to make Q be- wlldered people lose all sense of responsibility and initiative.
 Soon after the Armistice of 1918, Hitler went to Bavaria to rejoin his regiment, possibly to be de-. mobiii2ed. Ills first step toward becoming c politician made him that lowest of political tools, on agent provocateur.
 As c spy, Hitler first went to the little Bierstuhe where the Work erS' Party met. Munich the capi. tai of the drinkers Of the world, with big and little saloons al over the ctiy, had at least one political faction In every BierS. tube. All the factions felt certain that they knew how to handle the problems of the day better than anyone in Berlin-a city to be dis. trusted anyhow, since 1t was inc habited by Prussians, whom every stout. hearted Bavarian hates.
 Each little faction jockeyed for position with It's neighbors, while the local leaders of the German army watched closely, intent on picking the winner for their sup- port. One of their most gifted and daring officers, Capt. Ernst Roehm, was In Munich. With the funds of his old regimental purse, which an- ti-Republican industrialists replen- ished whenever necessary, Captain Roehm wanted to finance the most promising Of the new parties to help hib muild Up c new secret army, Q Black Relhcswehr.
