Two German Soldiers,
Caught Spying by ;
els, Are Executed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE UNITED STATES Sd
ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. IT,
Two confessed German spies who
were convicted by a military COM
mission October Is were executed
by a firing squad this afternoon. The
execution was the first announced
in the Sd Army's sector.
The two were captured while pos
ing as Polish refugees by three
American soldiers-Sergt. Robert T.
Skarboro. Chicago, Ill.,, Corpl. Chris
topher w. Wolf, Hortonville, Wis,
and Technician Fifth Grade
Frank A. Glowszynski, Chicago.
The three doughboys were on out
post duty in a small village west of
the Moselle River when they saw
the two civilians, one youth and
the other a man, bald and middle
aged. The sergeant asked where
they were going and they mumbled,
"Polack, Polack."
Sergt. Skarboro called Technician
Glowczynski, who speaks Polish like
native, to question them. The
older man said they were lust poor
Polish workers" who were on their
way to nearby farm to seek jobs.
Technician Glowczynski was puz-
zled by their accent. He searched
them and could find no identifica-
ton papers. The spokesman ex-
planned their papers had been taken
by the Germans.
Since there are many Polish work.
ers in that sector, their story seemed
| plausible and the doughboys let
them proceed. Later they got wor-
ried about the incident The two
men had claimed to be farmers, but
their hands didn't look like farmers
hands. Their clothes were ragged,
but not dirty.
They got in Corpl VOLTS jeep,
caught the pair and took them to
platoon command post for fur
Their questioning. The strange accent
still bothered Technician Glowczyn-
ski. He never had heard any Poles
talk like that.
The next day he understood why.
Omciak sent word back that both
men had confessed they were Ger
man soldiers who had been sent
through the lines disguised as civil
ians and ordered to get information
on American troop dispositions.

Hitler S Long Silence
Causes Rumors Of His
Death or Insanity
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE mysteri-
GUS silence of Adolf Hitler has de-
luged London withAreports that he
is dead, seriously III or suffering
nervous disorders.
Strange doingsfon the German ra-
dio, dispatches from the Swiss and
Swedish listening posts, and reports
to London from the German under
ground all suggested something Of
IL lportance. -.
The latest rumor, from Zurich,
said Hitler had undergone throat
operation at the hands of an Aus
trian surgeon. This report, however.
came from German sources, which
may be trying to cover up Hitler's
failure to make his usual speech on
the November 9 anniversary OF his
1923 Munich beer hall putsch.
May Be Injured.
The London Daily Express said
under a front-page headline today
that authoritative quarters in Lon
don" believed Hitler had been seri-
ously injured in the bombing attempt
against him on July 20.
The London Daily Mail also 'front.'
PACED suggestion by a prominent
British psychologist, William Brown,
that the Fuehrer may now be ap-
preaching the final phase of his
mental sickness.
Reuters, in a dispatch today from
Supreme Allied Headquarters in
Paris. said 1.-The dead hand of Hitler
is missing from the battle front as
we'll as from the home front" as wit
messed by the more skillful direction
of the German Army.
The Associated Press on November
6 carried report from a person
closely in touch with the under
ground in Germany that brain
specialist, Prof. Horster, had been
called in to examine Hitler at Kless-
helm, where he was staying while
new Notifications were being COM
pleted around his mountain re-
treat at Berchtesgaden.
Hitler Is Reported Ill.
This person asserted today there
were increasing indications that
Hitler was badly of balance men,
tally. He said underground reports
were that the Fuehrer was alb
Sorbed with almost childish intent
on the Notifications being speeded
in this entire Alpine area and. that
he insisted on daily lectures from
Gen. Jacob, Nazi Notifications chief.
These unconfirmed reports have
been strengthened by the German
radio. 1t has offered excuses for
his silence and issued panegyrics
about what great spiritual leader
he is.
Whatever the reason, Hitler has
remained publicly silent longer than
at any time. since his rise to power.
The last time his voice was heard
was in strange and shaky broad
cast in the early morning hours of
the day after the bombing attempt.
Heinrich Himmler has taken over
more and more power. Signifi-
cantly, perhaps, voice from the
audience listening to Himmlers

MUTUAL SAVINGS
BANKERS CONVENE
Henry Bruere Stresses 5th
War Loan at New
York Farley

New York, May distressing the
paramount Importance of the forth
coming Fifth War Loan, Henry
Bruere, president of the Bowery
Savings bank, New York, and iai-
son officer for mutual savings banks
and the treasury department, adj
dressed the opening session Of two
day business meeting called by the
National Association of Mutual Saw
ings Banks.
Summing up the fundamentals of
war requirements, Mr.. Bruere said
in part: "A large part of the pro-
ceeds of this loan will be used to
build and buy, to raise and trans
port the necessary materials of war
and the essential supplies to main
tain military forces consisting of
about as many men as lived in the
United States at the time of the
Civil War. Thess dollars will be
poured back into our economy and
if prudently used, will be in part
available for savings and for future
government financing. Many dollars
will return to the treasures of our
local state and national governments
in the form of taxes. This loan,
therefore, not only will make posi-
BILE the continued prosecution of the
war but 1t will maintain our national
economy. so greatly strained and
dislocated by wars requirements in
manpower. 1t will help preserve
our economy against the homecom-
ing of millions of young men and
their leaders who are fighting for
America-America's greatest and
most dangerous war.
1T is without merit at this hour
to look back at the billions that
have been raised for defense and
war purposes in previous loan cam
paigns and the interim borrowings
OF the treasury. 1t is without merit,
at this moment to look forward to
future demands for future borrow
ings. We now are concerned only
with one question, with one objec-
tive. That question is: How can we
assist in making this Fifth War
Loan a success? 1t must be a sue
cess. The urgent needs Of this coun-
try compel it: the spirit of the peo-
pie assures 1t; and the record of
past performances makes confident
the expectation that 1t will succeed"
