DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1931.

Decorator to Dictator May Be Hitler Destiny ♦ * * * * * Once Refused Naturalization as German, Fiery Leader of Nazis Is Most Formidable Figure in Germany Today. - yMaSBk “x ms f —- w- » ■* « \ Adolf ' v . • HiTLERp Observer* who keep their finger* on th* puite of German politic* are freely predicting that the next few month* may bring a remarkable change in the government of th* country. They are saying that the possibility of Germany accepting a dictator is not so remote as is supposed by outsiders, and the name most often whispered in connection with such a prospect is that of Adolf Hitler, the leader of the National Socialist Party, corresponding to the Italian Fascieti. Hitler, though •ne of the most formidable figures in Dec Vaterland, remains very much of a mystery. It is known that he was born in the little town of Braunau on the Austro-German border, the son of a customs official, and that be was put to work as a painter and decorator after receiving a common school education. He joined the German Army as a private during the World War and consequently lost hi* Austrian citizenship. On applying for naturalisation as a German citizen, his request was refused; so Hitler is actually a man without a country. In 1923 ho wes sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for high treason, for his part in General Ludendorff’s attempted coup d’etat at Munich, but was released after serving one year. Since that time Hitler has built up his Nazis until today his party ia the second largest in the country. With the reins of government slipping from the senile grasp of President von Hindenburg, Hitler is content to sit like a cat outside a mouse hole, calmly and confidently waiting to grasp the helm.

Berlin. —That which we call Fate 1)33 a peculiar, one nii;l)t say perverse, sens? of humor. Ftom time iiuui trial it has been known as the perpetrator of topsyturvy situations. but. if observers who keep their finge.s on the political pulse in Germany are correct in their pre- ; dictions, none has been more replete with ironical humor than th? position in which Der Vaterland fiuds itself today with regard to | Adolf Hitler. I During th* World War. this man I who has risen to be one of the i most dominating figu.rs in the new i (ienuany. was disowned by his native Austria for his having taken the oath of allegiance Ui the German Empire ou joining the Kaiser’s army as a private.' Being reaily a Germap at heart, the loss of his ; birthright did not unduly disturb I Hitler. But when be was refused naturalization as a cipzei! of the new German lb public—ah! thut hurt, but not enough to make the tan who was now without a country lie down and take a count. On the cont. ary it filled hlui with bitter determination to write his name into the history of the country that didn't want blip. iHoy well he hgc i succeeded to da' '» very apparent; for It 13 an open secret in Berlin that if the p euent administration falls Hitler will climb upon the ■ sins to dominate the country. Back In the ypari Immediately fullowiug the Armistice, when the uuw German it- public still revelled ip tlu.* freedom it had gained by j ridding itself of Its overhauling war I lord. Kaiser Wilhelm, one would b • | laughed td scorn fur even thinking that the country, having shaken off the grip of one dictator, would readily accept anol hi?. But today | the prospect of Germany following 1 the lead of other European national

and putting the ship of State under I the absolute control of one man is not so remote. In fact, it is freelydiscussed in the capital, and the name heard most often in connection with the p osp ct is that of’ Adolf Hitler —the man it re used to accept as a citizen. Despite the brilliant zlare of the ' spotlight that b. ats down upon him a. the loath*, of the National Socialists (Nazis), which, cones; omls to I and is modeled after, the Italian Fascist pa ty, Hitl * remains very much of a mystery. Little is kniwn of his early life beyond the fact that he was born in the Au >t. >-Gt rman border town of Brauuau. the son of a customs official, and that he was put t > wo. k as a painter and decorator as • ter receiving an ordinary common education. His hatred o.' F.anc and I the French li said to have had its root in the story of a local patriot vhom Napoleon executed. but regardless of how his antipathy came nta brin;, it is'almosi certain that iMllfler err gets his hands on the reins of government his first official act will be the repudiation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler first came into national prominence in 1323 when, with Gen■ral Ludendorff, he took part iu the attempted coup d'etat at Munich, lot the pnrpos o overthrowing for the Federal Government. That move ended in something that re;ienibl.d a burlesque show; for the revolutionary attempt was brokqn up by the pqllct and Hitler,, charged with high treason, was sentenced to flv ■ yea s Imprisonment. Keleased a ter serving one year of his term. Hitler, thanks to the pubI liclty his i uprlaopmeut had glv n | him ami to the halo of patriotic martyrdom with which it had enI dowed him, found little difficulty

Today, with the reins at government slowly slipping f.om the senile hahds of President von Hindenburg. Hitler is content to sit like , a cat outside a mouse hole and calm i ly and confidently await his chance I to grasp the helm. <How Fate must indulge in Meplii istophelian mirth as it watches the man without a country, an ex-paint-j er—-w ho could double for Charlie ■ Chaplin—slowly, but inexorably ' take over the, empire built by Fr.d- --' erick the Great, Bismarck and milj lions of German lives.
