she called at the Boulevard dc BerCy

mystery OF Janine de Sigoyer's dis
appearance was solved.
The marquis was already in Tour

Xancs and 1O0.0O0O00 francs by trad

forces, when Mime. Suzanne Kergot,

AS the maid told II, she was
present while the de Sigoyers
were discussing their financial

was sitting in a red plush
chair. The talk was pleasant.
Suddenly, Nile. Lebeau told
police, de Sigoyer accused his
wife OF stepping out with an
other man. He made the
charge In good humor and, as
though in fun, according to the
maid, he stepped behind the
red plush chair and encircled
his wife's neck with a heavy
cord. She laughingly denied
his accusation - and, Mile lie

Rowing Reporters

with Hitler two years ago! mat
Hitler, whom he constantly call
ed the Fuehrer, never wanted
war against the western Allies.
| said that Hitler could never
have had peace with the west
ern Allies, and that the very
sense of the war was the defeat
and determination of the Nazis.
Kesselring was sincerely baf-
fled. He proceeded to tell me
that the Fuehrer was the great
est man of this century and that
the world would know it 20
years hence. That the world was
incapable of understanding the
great ideas of Hitler. That all
revolutions had periods when
wrongs were committed, but
this didn't mean that the Nazi
revolution in itself was wrong.
He asked whether / believed
in what had been said about
German concentration mps s.
When said / did and had seen
the horror myself, he seemed
Mortified and for the first time
shaken.
He then volunteered some in
formation. He worries about the
moral state of the Germans in
prisoner camps, He also fears
that certain SIS units will con-
tinue to fight in the mountains,
though he has given strict or
ders that they shouldn't. 1t isn't
certain that they'll obey. There
fore, he intends to fly to Doenitz
and later to Eisenhower to de-
wise plans against such possible
uprisings or hostilities.
In order 20 explain this, he
told me that just W he was
working for the Allies, helping
to organize the rehabilitation
program. Speaking of the Amer
lean officers with whom he
works, he had only the highest
praise. "They are noblemen,n he
said.
When I asked when he. who
had commanded every front and
also the air force, had known
that the war was lost for Ger
many, heS said, This question ]
can never answer. A command
er must put up a front. had 20
be hopeful when talking to my
soldiers. What I thought in my
bed at night is nobody's bust
ness" From this it seems EVIL
dent that he must have known
for quite some time.
But Kesselring hasn't been
changed by defeat. He remains
the typical German officer. He
says: You Americans think this
is a war to end wars. History
proves there will always be war.
The very essence Of life is to
fight. The eternal peace idea is
nonsense. Ten years hence you
Americans will be either out
classed economically by Russia
or you fill fight Russia"
He didn't say so, but there
was no doubt in my mind that
he was thinking and hoping
that Russia and the U-ited
States would be at war soon.
