after receipt of the order. the com pany had seized two heavy enemy tanks in almost perfect condition and had started them on their way to ordnance experts in the United States for thorough testing.
 Here's how.
 According to a report received to- day by Brig. Gen. G. H. DreWry, commanding the Springfield Ord nance district, from First Army Headquarters, 35 German tanks broke through our lines. Some of them were Partners. The attack was beaten back and the Germans left five tanks behind-shot up or stuck and abandoned. Their crews had no chance to destroy them completely.
 While the smoke of battle still hung thick over the area, Captain Clifton O. Vaughan of Shreveport, Louisiana, and reconnaissance party studied one of the tanks and decided that it could be removed even though the front line was but thousand yards away
 Ordnance crews started retrieving that tank and another, working steadily for 36 hours. German guns sprayed the area and continued to make trouble until an American ar tillery battery zeroed in on the Germans. Enemy machine guns opened up and German planes came over to Strafe the area.
 To complicate matters, thermite bombs had been set of in one tank by the Germans in an effort to de- stroy it before American ordnance men could recover it, but the ex- plosive had failed to ignite. Still dangerous, however, it was nullified only after two volunteers doused it with sand.
 The enemy tanks were evacuated at night on mammoth M-25 tank tranSporters. Before the ordnance company turned over the tanks for shipment to this country, they re- paired them to almost perfect con- dition with parts salvaged from a few other knocked out Partners. One was graded 98.7, the other 94.3
 Examination of one tank showed that it had been in service on both the Italian and Russian fronts be- fore assignment to the western European front.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 TO BE INSPECTED

At suggestion of Mayor John S.. Monogan. the Fire Board voted to hold an inspection of firemen at its meeting yesterday afternoon. The inspection will be on Freight street at 2:30 D. m. May 19.
 Although a question arose on a possible danger in gathering all the city's fire apparatus together at one time, it was pointed out that radio communication facilities would make it possible to dispatch pieces immediately to any part of the city in case of a blaze.
 Henry David Cooke, 27 Haiker avenue and John Kenneth Rug giero, 4 Grove street, fire depart ment callmen, were made regulars at yesterdays meeting.

contributed to Hitlers' rise. In 1923 the NaziS and other strong-arm groups held a Congress of some 100,- 900 persons in Nuremberg and formed a German Combat Union. Roehm maneuvered so that within a month Hitler, who had Wangled dictatorship over the numerically small Nazi party, became political head of the whole combat union.
 On May Day, 1899, Hitler's s. A. men stole weapons from the Reich swehr barracks, undeterred because Roehm had arranged that the guards would not resist. And in No- vember, 500 S. A. men kidnapped the entire government of Bavaria in the celebrated beer hall putsch.
 Here, again, double-crossing was the order of the occasion. Wilhelm Prick, official who on previous oc- casions had ordered his police to close their eyes to Fitler's gangsters' activities, did it once more. The ample guard at the beer hall did nothing, though it outnumbered the $. A. contingent. It was only Gen. eral von Seekt'S orders to the Reichcswehr, after the conspirators thought they had won, that put an

In 20 years, to the exact day, Adolf Hitler talked and double crossed his way from the Austro- German equivalent of Bowrey bum to dictator over one of the worlds great nations. On August 2, 1914, when World War I started, Hitler was existing in the squalor and degradation to which laziness, egotism and the complete lack of an constructive talent had brought him.
 On August 2, 1884, he declared himself complete dictator of the Reich, and made good his pre- sumption.
 Hitler has boasted that history will remember him long after it has forgotten all his predecessors. Probably that is true. It will re- call him as an egotist who raised the double-cross to an art which nobody else in the worlds history ever achieved.
 A4o4o 1lGIel, lllegltlInaCely porn Schicklgruber but legitimatized by one George Heidler, described his son, Adolf, as good for noth- ing" The description was apt from the day of his birth, April 20, 1889, to the outbreak of the first World War.
 Adolf Hitler lived in Vienna, in sort of flop house, from 1907 to 1913. His fellow roomers gave him. crusts of bread and bits of horse sausage, which he supple mented at free soup kitchen. He

an honest living by conventional constructive methods. But he did have what the German people wanted at that moment. His plat form of pam anti Versaillesism, anti-Semitism ap- pealed to enough persons to con- vince him that politics was his forte. In April of 1920 the party had only 30 members, but Hitler was so optimistic about it's future that he resigned from the Army.
 Then came the foundation for another piece of double-crossing. A pervert named Ernest Roehm had raised a large secret army. Hitler. through Roehm'S friend, the neWspaperman Dietrich Eckart (one of the six original party members) was made public spokesman. When the Allies forced that Army under ground Hitler adopted it as the Gymnastice and Sports division of the Nazi party
 An eX-military flier named Her man Goering lent Hitler money and joined the party. A year later he was put in command of Roehm's army, the broWn-shirted S. A.

C| IN GERMANY FINDS PEOPLE
 LOVE TO BOSS

Ithaca, N. Y, May 3-(UP)-The German people in Allied-occupied areas of their homeland are ono. more busy either trying to shove somebody else around, or obsequi- ously being showed around"
 Forecasting occupational prob- lens faced by the Allies, former Cornell University student write. that "the most impressive and irri- tating characteristic of the Ger mans is their almost complete lacl of democratic feeling." And, ever the terrific destruction and disrup' tion of war hasn't changed them says Cpl. Donald A. Sinclair oj Highland Park, N. J., who has beer inside Germany for nearly the en- tire period of occupation.
 For example, he describes "a lit tie bunch of tattered, forlorn-look- ing men doing some kind of pick and-shovel work" Select, he says "the misunderstanding one of tn lot and put him in charge, and th' first thing you know he is strut ting around officiously, waving hi: arms with an air of high import. ance, and coldly snapping orders al the others"
 This naughty sense of import ance also colors contacts between the Army and certain appointed German officials but usually, Sin clair remarks, all one has to do Is to snarl at them or treat them bit arbitrarily to put them back in their place. !.
 The one time Cornell language student also finds a great tenden- cy among the Germans to ration alize and convince themselves into believing that they never likeo Nazism, anyway.
 They now recall every little in- convenience or irritation caused by the Party (and they were plenty), and they are well enough pleased to be released from the power o1 the Bonzen,' Sinclair continued He also said the German people were blaming the party for delay ing equalization and were inflameo over high handed evacuation measures ordered by the Nazi lead CTS.
 For variety of reasons Sin clair said. they were not very will ing to be evacuated. preferrlng even to take their chances with the barbarous Americans, who would rape the women and cut off every one elses head
 The Party has become the scape- goat for the nations failure, he added, and the people, uneaslly aware of German atrocities, re gard themselves individually as in- nocent bystanders in no way re- sponsible."

end to the coup and sent Hitler to prison.
 Throughout this turbulent period General Ludendorff was used as a tool by the rising Austrian gang chief Hitler used him on the theory that, when the time came for vio- lence, the Army never would fire on its hero.
 From 1923 to 1883 was a period of growth in Hitler's fortunes and those of his party. Both were supported by contributions from big industri- alists who were very frank about their interest. They approved Hit ler's opposition to the Treaty of Versailles, his desire to gather all Germans of the world into great CT Germany, his anti-Communism. Like him, they hated the Republic and the Social Democratic party. PRO-NAZI JUNKERS
 And finally. among the factors which made the NaZis strong even when they were weakest. and paved the pay for more double crossing, there was the military caste. The Junkers thought they were using Hitler to promote their own ends and woke up, much too late to dis cover that Hitler had done the using.
 The stern repression which the Allies attempted against the de- feated German Army caused great hardship to large class of young officers, from majors down, who saw the doors to promotion closed to them forever. They were glad to give any sort of assistance, from votes to actual mutiny, in support of the pan-Germanic, anti-Versail- les program that Hitler was push ing.
 Inoustrialists. money, militarists' assistance, pulled Hitler through one tight spot after another until, in 1892 the conservative von Papen felt obliged to offer him a seat, which he left Munich to take, only to be brought back by Goering and Goebbels in the nick of time.
 The advice of those two lieuten- ants, to hold out for all or noth- ing, proved wise. On January 30, 1883, senile President von linden burg asked Hitler, as chancellor, to form new government

earned a little doing the drabbest sort of pseudo art work, carrying bags for travellers, and for part of a day shoveling snow on a Danube bridge.
 In 1913 he went to Munich, where he continued his low life until the Germans marched on France. His war service was ordinary. He won the Iron Cross twice, was wounded twice and gassed once. The huski- ness that underlies his shrill tones is permanent effect of that gassing. DOUBLE-CROSSED ARMY
 He got into politics by double crossing the first employer who ever made him happy, the Ger man Army. In July, 1919, he was assigned by the Propaganda and Espionage division, which used him as a snooper, to observe a meeting" of the German Work CTS Party, consisting of six men devoted to pan -Germanism and certain quasi-socialistic dogma. He joined them, on the spot, and there after combined politics with his military" duties.
