I the feeling of uncertainty. The
whole purpose of interning US
isn't clear.
"Are they going to question
us, send us back to Germany, or
what? It's the uncertainty that
gets u.s."
The Chinese running the camp
don't know either. They're wait
ing for further orders. They plan
eventually to find out what the
Germans were doing during the
war, but what will follow is still
rather indefinite.
FLOW IN
Meanwhile, more Germans are
arriving almost daily. There are
l22 in the camp now, about half
of them women and children. At
least 900 more are coming. They
furnish their own food and keep
busy cooking, chopping wood
and fixing up the large. U-shaped
two-story white cement build

Eventually almost all Of
Shanghai's 2,400 Germans will
be interned in Kiangwan and

would find Il emsclves without
homes, without money, without
jobs.
WANTS BACK
Still, at least one would like
to get back as soon as :ossible.
He is DR.. Klaus Mehnert, editor
of the XXth Century Magazine.
u. S. rmy Intelligence officers
call him one Of the most clever
propagandists in the Far East.

Germany right along" Mehnert

Mehnert studied at the Uni
versity Of California. While
teaching political science at the
University of Hawaii, he receiv-
ed "orders" from Berlin to re-
port here to operate a propagan-
da organ.
Another member Of the in
termed colony Is Klaus Kuether,
admitted head Of the Nazi party
in Shanghai.
MEMBERSHIP
Kuether will tell yo. the par
ty had 315 members in the
Shanghai = Marking area, and
he'd just as soon stay in China
il he could. Kuether was in the
first roundup Oct. ID.
Down the hall is Siegfried
Lahrmann's room. Inside glumly
reading a hook, is the scowling
head Of the Nazi party for all of
China. Lahrmann won't say any
thing. He won't even glance up
from his book.
Several Germans who have
been in the United States are in
termed at Kiangwan. DR.. Horst
Fricke before the European war
was in Chicago as economic ad-
wiser to the German consul
general.
Carl Flick-Steger, who spent
a number of years in the United
States, operated the German ra-
dio station in Shanghai for a
time he was newspaper man in
Europe.
Tall Hans Melchers, director
of Germany's transocean news
service in the Far East, spent
some time in America. Hans
Mosberg was in New York for
two years prior to 1910 as a
German news servit correspon-
dent. And so it goes.
It's up at six and to bed at
nine for the Germans at Kiang-

PARIS, July 14.-France's- re-
surgent armed forces proudly pa
raded before cheering throngs in
Paris and a small, silent group of
Germans in Berlin today in cele-
bration of the great French national
holiday-Bastille Day.
Dancing, singing Parisians held
their first open celebration of the
holiday since 1899. Surrounded by
representatives of the armed forces
of the Allied powers and the Bey of
Tunis, Gen. de Gaulle reviewed the
parade in Paris from a stand in the
Place de la Bastille, site of the
gloomy medieval fortress whose
capture 156 year ago became a SYM
Dol of the French revolution.
The parade moved through the
city's boulevards to the Place de la
Concorde and up the Champs Ely
sees to the Arc de Triomphe, where
midnight ceremonies honoring the
war dead began the formal obServ-
ance of the holiday.
In the fallen German capital the
French tricolor was raised over Ber-
Inns victory column-commemorat-
ing the birth of the German Empire
with defeat of France three-quar-
tiers Of a century ago. Generals OF
the Russian, British and American
Armies and group of 88 French
officers who had just arrived in Ber-

In the battle-torn grounds of

shabbily dressed German civilians
also saw the French hour of glory.

Stolen Nazi Wealth
Piled Ceiling High

FRANKFURT, Germany, July IA.
The pillaged wealth of Nazf oc-
cupied Europe, taken from the teeth
of murdered Jews and the Golfers
of seized governments alike, was
piled ceiling high today in the
Reichsmark Bank of Frankfurt.
In addition to gold and silver
there we're hogsheads of pearls,
rubies and sapphires. Wooden cases

teeth of concentration camp victims.
Currency experts from the United
States Treasury and the Bank of
England were identifying and max
ing an. inventory of the Nazi loot.
Accurate Estimate Impossible.
"An accurate estimate of the total
value can never be made" said Col.
Bernard Bernstein, director of the
finance division of the United States
Group control council.
He said the collection included So
separate deposits hidden by the
Nazis and unearthed by American
troops during the final days of the
war. These included the gold bull
lion discovered by the United States
Sd Army in the Merkers salt mines
and special hidden boards of Helm

surrender demanded of Japan will
have to be exacted by force, adding
that the Nipponese Army will not

In an address before the Warren
County Bankers Association MIR.
Patterson said that Japan remains
a formidable enemy and warned:
1--WE must prepare ourselves to
win our war with Japan the hard
way-by killing Japanese soldiers
right through the ruins of Tokyo
and throughout the home islands. .
The main Japanese armies are
intact, Mr.. Patterson said, and the
Japanese soldier is still just as
willing to fight it out to the end as
he was three years ago when he was
winning his victories"
Mr.. Patterson said the enemy
soldier is fighting more effectively
that he has developed a new method
of cave warfare. From now on, Mr.
Patterson said, the fighting will be
in country favoring the defender
THE japanese are fighting pro-
gressively smarter war" he said.
"On Okinawa they did not attempt
defense of the beaches, where
they would be under point-blank

u. s. Agencies Return
From Other Cities !
During War Doubled

The housing shortage here and
continued lack of Office space will
prevent the return to Washing
ton of decentralized Government
agencies for some time, possibly
until the end of the war, Govern
ment officials said today.
Another factor is the increased
personnel in the departments trans
ferred out of town. When the de-
Capitalization program was begun
early in 1912, there was a total of
50, 500 positions in the agencies and
bureaus involved. Since then $4,000
additional positions have been filled.
Still another reason is the ex-
pansion program of the Veterans
Administration and Treasury De-
partment now in progress. The
Veterans Administration, partic-
ularly, needs any new Office space
that can be found here now.
All to Return Eventually.
The only agency starting a pro-
gram to return some of its employees
is the Patent Office, which has re-
turned about 100 of its 900 workers
transferred to Richmond.
Government officials said all de-
centralized agencies eventually
would be returned to Washington.

decentralized and sent to other
