THOUSANDS OF GERMANS JOIN HITLER'S ‘CAUSE’ Movement Started in Beer Garden Wins Support of Throngs. Thl* Ik the fifth Instalment of the life storv of Adolph Hitler, Gerrfian Fascist leader, written bv Ouy V. Miller, foreign editor of The Pittsburgh Press, a ScrippsHoward newspaper. Hitler, born of Austrian-Bohemlan parent*, spent his childhood in Lambach and Vienna. There he first showed that his heart was with Germany. He removed to Munich and served with German troops in the World war He returned to Munich after the armistice, disillusioned and penniless. A glass of beer started him on his spectacular career. Xn a beer garden he made a speech that gave him his start with the Nationalist party, BV GUY V. MILLER Hitler went to work immediately. His first task was to attract more people to the meetings. Over glasses of beer, he and his comrades discussed ways and means of doing this. The party treasury held two marks. The members had no money. Then Hitler thought of an economiral way to attract attention. He and the other members would write letters to all the people they knew, inviting them to attend the meetings. The next day eighty letters were sent out. That night two dozen people attended the meeting and Hitler spoke. With his naturalborn gift of oratory he swayed them to tears and when the meeting ended, the party had added a dozen recruits. By means of the letters and Hitler's speeches, the party grew by leaps and bounds. Attract Great Crowds Within a few weeks it was necessary to hire a large hall to hold the crowds. ' Audiences of a thousand were not uncommon. As his fame increased, so did Hitler's power. He now was the undisputed dictator of the party, drafting its program to suit his personal beliefs and prejudices. His speeches were filled with jibes at the expense of the republic and of his hated foes, the Jew's. "Democracy fundamentally is Jewish, not German,” he told his spell-bound audiences. Or again he would tell them: * H you fail to see your name maligned in the Jewish press in the morning, you made no good use of your time yesterday.” Enjoys Rough Debate By now, the membership of the party reached into the thousands. There were branches throughout Bavaria. As Hitler's followers grew, the Sociaists sat up and took notice. Hundreds of them attended his meetings only to heckle him. But the Austrian born speaker thrived on criticism. He enjoyed rough and tumble debate and at such meetings, usually put his hecklers to rout. In 1931 Hitler decided to reorganize and rename the party. He dropped the six original members arto changed the name to the Na-tionalist-Socialist party. At the same time Hitler decided to adopt a flag and an emblem. He chose the swastika, always the symbol of thoroughbred Germanism. The flag was red with a white circle containing the swastika. Forms Storm Troops Along with the flag and emblem, Hitler organized his "storm troops.” The brown uniform immediately attracted thousands of war veterans and young boys. With them came officers of the old army to drill and lead the detachments. By 1923, Hitler's party was large and powerful enough to attract Berlin's attention. He had nearly ten thousand “storm troops,” all well disciplined and devoted faithfully to their leader. President Ebert and his associates watched Hitler’s rise with troubled eyes. They knew Bavaria was ready to revolt, and secede from the reich. Hundreds of die-hard monarchists ucre pouring into the state, to join hands with the Fascists. Among them was General Erich Von Ludendorff. chief of staff of the German armies during the World war. Friends With Von I.udendorff Von Liidendorff and Hitler speedily became friends. The former held the same political beliefs as did the Fascists and he frequently bolstered their cause by appearing at mass meetings and • speaking.

prevented from having her claims verified by a conspiracy of Socialists, Jews, Catholics, and Free Masons.” Then Von Liidendorff and Hitler put their heads together and began to plot. With the Fascists’ aid, the general said, he could drive the French out of the Ruhr and the Bolshevists out of Russia. Hitler listened eagerly. He remembered Mussolini’s successful march on Rome at the head of his blackshirted legions. Perhaps it could be duplicated in Germany. And while the two conspirators plotted, Berlin watched apprehensively, aware of what was coming. Ebert and Stresemann, then chancellor, anxiously kept one eye on the Reichswehr.

HITLER MOVES

TO SAVE FIVE DOOMED NAZIS Addresses Personal Plea to Von Papem Act Is Open Defiance. BY FREDERICK KUH United Pres* Staff Correspondent BERLIN,, Aug. 23.—A “struggle against the government" to free five Fascist storm troopers, sentenced to be beheaded, was promised today by AdQiph Hitler, National Socialist party leader. A short time after he addressed a personal petition to the government of Chancellor Franz von Papen, ask- j ing that the death sentences be | commuted. Hitler sent a pithy message to the five condemned men. The action was viewed as an open defiance of the Von Papen regime. j and of the government’s right to set up arbitrary courts to handle cases involving political terrorism. Hitler's message read : “My Comrades: In view of the monstfous and gory sentence that has been passed upon you, I feel that I am linked to you in unbounded loyalty. From this moment on your freedom is a question of our honor and a struggle against the government under which this has come to pass is our duty.” Hitler’s sudden, decisive action followed a period of frenzied ac , tivity, in which Nazi storm troopers ; fairly screamed their indignation at the penalty. Mobs of Hitler followers fought with steel-helmeted police in the streets of Beuthen, where the five were sentenced. They threatened an attack on the building in which the sentences were passed, dnd launched vindictive assaults against Jews and Socialists all over the city. The court which passed sentence

HERE IS A PROMISE OF A GOOD SEASON

Warner Brothers Give Some People a Chance to See Their Early Fall Menu’Before General Release. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ONE thing I like to do is to touch elbows with the new movie product before general release. And the best way to know what Ls going on in the studio is to see what is produced. Warner Brothers are having a prev>ew showing of their product for the early fall in a certain number of lev cities, including Indianapolis. Many exhibitors and others have been invited by R. F. Cloud, manager of the Indianapolis office, to see some of the new product. At the first session of the previews I saw two pictures—George Arliss in “A Successful Calamity,'' directed by John Adolfi; and “Life

Begins.” with Loretta Young. Eric Linden. Aline MacMahon and some of the most wonderful babies I have ever seen. “Life Begins” might as well be called "Hospital” or "Where the Babies Come.” Just like they made a picture of “Grand Hotel” and “Union Depot.” In “Life Begins," you find a slice of hospital life—the department where expectant mothers go. “Mothers” of all kinds you will find there. A woman who ta/’es a bottle of whisky with her and yells out that

was one of those established by government decree, empowered to impase the death penalty on any person found guilty of political terrorism. There is no appeal. The government can commute the sentences, which caused Hitler first to address himself to the government. Hitler left no doubt that if his five followers are executed, all chance of his resuming negotiations with Von Papen will be ended. At Beuthen today, the atmosphere noticeably was less tense. Extra guards were placed at the prison holding the five condemned men. It was understood the death sentences will not be carried out until defense attorneys have reached a 1 decision on appeal for anew trial.

| she don’t give a so and so and sings : a song about "Frankie and Johnnie.” ! Then watch the change when it happens. Another woman who is brought in by a hard boiled police matron. Here is. pathos that is human realism. Here is realism that is tre- j mendous. I laughed and I cried. Not going to go into detail about any of these new pictures but just to tell you that as far as Warner Brothers are concerned the future looks good with the Arliss picture and "Life Begins.” You ask about the Arliss picture? It is a honey. Smart. Ultra. Magnificent. Great. And that is some verdict. Warner Brothers by invitation only are exhibiting their new product today at the Lyric. The convention headquarters is at the Severin. n a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Congorilla” at the Apollo, “Horse Feathers” at the Indiana, "Speak Easily” at the Palace, and "The Crooner” at the Circle. Probe U. S. Narcotic Cases Alleged violations of narcotic, ; postal, motor theft and counterfeit- ; ing laws are being considered today 1 by the federal grand jury.
