HITLER REVOLT NIPPED IN BUD BY REICHSWEHR Followers Flee at First Shots and Leader Goes to Prison. Thl 1* the sixth Instalment of the life etorv of Adolf Hitler, by Ouv V. Miller, foreign editor of The Pittsburgh Press, a Serippr-Howard newspaper. Hitler, of Austrian-Bohemtan parentage spent his childhood in Lsmbach and Vienna, where his love for Germany first was manifest. He removed to Munich, served In the German army in the World war, and returned to Munich. There, largelv bv chance, he became a leader in the Nationalist party. His eloquence attracted thousands to its banners, and among his strong supporter was General Erich von Ludendorff On Nov. 8, 1923, Herr Hitler and his legions struck. Without even informing Von LudendorfT that the hour had come, Hitler and four associates invaded the government building in Munich. pistoLs in hand. •Firing a bullet into the ceiling, he told the nervous officials that a revolution had been proclaimed. A few minutes later Fascist detachments were marching through Munich on their way to Berlin. At the same time, posters proclaiming the revolution were being pasted up on every street corner. They were signed by Hitler, Von LudendorfT. General Von Lossow', chief of the reichswehr in Bavaria, and Colonel Von Seisser, police chief in Munich. Troops Stay Loyal But Hitler had failed to consider the reichswehr in his plans. He had assumed that the defection of General Von Lossow meant a revolt among the troops as well. Actually, Von Lossow, fearful of being exposed to Berlin, had never sounded out his army subordinates as to whether they would join the revolution. A few hours later, Hitler, Von LudendorfT and his associates left the government building. They were going to lead the march on Berlin personally. But the reichswehr had something to say about that. As Hitler and hi.s brown-shirted army drew near the barracks they saw a line of steel-helmeted soldiers, rifles ready, drawn up across the street. For a moment the Fascist chieftain was worried. Were they going to fire on him? Tries to Emulate Napoleon He pushed the thought into the back of his mind. This was just a demonstration, a chance for him to play Napoleon. Hp remembered how the French emperor had acted in a similar situation, after his return from exile in Elba. He strode toward the waiting soldiers. At his side walked Von LudendorfT. wearing his general's uniform. Then a strange thing happened, strange at. least to Hitler. A reichswehr ofTicer raised his sword. He shouted a command. The rifles raised and a volley of shots rang out. i As t he bullets whistled by his head Hiller dropped to the street. Out of the corner of his eye he noted that the man next to him had fallen. He thought it was /Von Luriendorfl. Behind him he heard groans and sound of running feet. Flees With Followers The Fascist leader knew the revolt had failed. His men were running away. He sprang to his feet and ran after them. But Hitler’s co-revolutionist. Von LudendorfT, scorned flight. The bullets had missed him, killing instead the man behind him, whom Hitler had mistaken for the general. His face set like a mask, Von LudendorfT walked on, straight toward the line of waiting soldiers. His eyes were fixed ahead, unmindful of the turmoil about him. As he reached the soldiers they parted and, without a word, Von LudendorfT passed through their ranks. Climbing into a taxicab, he ordered the frightened driver to take him home. Three days later, Hitler was arrested at the home of a friend on the Austrian border. Together with a doyen of his followers, including Von LudendorfT, he was placed in prison to await trial. Trial Is Farce The trial itself was a farce. The sudden failure of the revolt had reassured Berlin and they were somewhat contemptuous of Hitler and his Fa cists. In stead of demanding the death penalty, they informed the Munich supreme court that prison sentences for all involved would be sufficient. Once in court. Hitler soon dom-

inated the scene. He found tlje judge and prosecutor polite and respectful. Hitler, of course, took advantage of the occasion to make one of his fiery political .sp-seches. With the permission of the court, he mounted the rostrum and began: "Such is the plight of Germany,” he shouted, "thanks to the miserable attitude of her government.” He recalled the illegal acts of great men in the past. Cites Bismark’s Example Bismarck, he said, had not hesitated to defy the empire, when he deemed it necessary. Then he uttered a significant sentence, Illustrating his belief in himself: “The man born to be a dictator is not pushed forward, but he forges ahead.” The speech closed with a dramatic warning. “The army we have raised is growing day by day, hour by hour,” he said. "I know your sentence. But that court high above will not ask us. ‘Have you committed high treason?’ "That court will judge us as men who wanted to do their duty as Germans for the people and the Fatherland, who wanted to fight and die. Leaves Crowd in Tears "You may doom us a thousand times and yet the Goddess of the eternal court of history will tear to pieces the indictment of the state prosecutor and the sentence of this court. Her verdict will be acquittal.” Such a plea left the audience and the judge as well in tears. His voice trembled with emotion as he sentenced Hitler to five years in prison. fie was careful to point out that er six months, the Fascist leader could be released. The other defendants received lighter terms. Von LudendorfT was acquitted. - But if Munich still followed Hitlerf’s banner, the rest of Germany did not. To them he was a disgraced leader, a comic figure to be laughed at. They sneered at his futile plots and remarked that “he must have been a madman.” Due to Come Back And Hitler, in his prison cell at Landsberg. brooded and said nothing. He sent no word to cheer his followers. Thousands drifted to the Nationalist and other parties. The few who remained faithful were dazed by their sudden failure. By 1924 Germany nearly had forgotten Hitler and his Fascists. To all but a few he was a dead leader, a budding Napoleon who failed to bloom But it was only a lull before the storm.

Bason, ivory-tickler of note, must have been given the powder while dazed by his own playing, for he writes The Indianapolis ifimes derby editor, desiring to withdraw from the race in favor of "Cootie” McGinnis. He writes, “Would it be possible to throw my votes to Mr. ‘Cootie’ McGinnis. I have run out of relatives and can t pick up any more votes. I never did look good in brown. If I won, I wouldn't have car fare to get to the fairground to be crowned. If I drop out, Cootie will cancel my cleaning bill.” Smells a Plot The matter was referred to the judges. Major Hoople said. “Egad, no!” And that means almost anything. Jo-Jo, the dog-faced judge, urges a probe of the run-out powder plot. While Fanny Foam, the feminine arbiter, bit off another pretzel and stood with Jo-Jo on the keg. And that means that Harry’s votes can not be lassoed by “Cootie.” Tom Quinn, E. W. Mushrush and E. Kirk McKinney, leading contenders for the saffron “kelly,” say “Cootie” had plenty of relatives in France during the war without trying to cop all Harry’s "great-ants.” Harry made an offer to buy 5,000 ballots on the five-year plan, but it was made too late, for the five years were up with prosperity’s return to a seat on a soap box just ‘‘around the corner.” Tom Quinn Spurts If ten and seven-eights ballots are not received for Harry by midnight Wednesday, he’ll be considered as out of the contest. Then, Harry, you can do your derndest for “Cootie” to write off that cleaning bill. West Washington's street pride and joy gathered his precincts today and awoke "Cootie's” followers from their lethargy. It was the same old Tom Quinn battle to become the city’s most distinguished citizen at the coronation to be held Sept. 8 at the Indiana State Fair. Rumbles of an organized effort to jam McKinney back into first place with reported thunder from a left wing of the Judge Frank P. Baker forces were heard today in Brown Derbyville.

PRISON GOODS FOUGHT A. F. of L. Seeks to Persuade States to Bar Convicts’ Products. By Scrippa-Howard Kewapapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. The American Federation of Labor is conducting an intensive campaign to persuade state legislatures to Take advantage of the HawesCooper act permitting states to bar the sale of convict-made goods within their borders. The federal act enables states to enact legislation prohibiting the sale of prison products manufactured in other states, and it is hoped that eventually every state will come into the fold. This eventually would confine prison-made goods to a local market.

TIN CAN TIME AT RIVERSIDE: ROMANCE! JOB? From West and East and North and South, They Come to Camp. BY ARCH STEIN’EL It’s tin-can time in Riverside park. What with baked bean picnics up and down the banks of the White river, and the city’s free tourist park, it’s a bad park day when a load of labeled tins are not hauled away. But just let’s mosey down to the tourist camp, and see those living out of sealed receptacles. Over there near the White's bank is a lean-to ten: slung over a Lizzie, and attached to a neighboring tree. The master of the tent dwelling is chopping firewood. No “missus” is in sight. “Going East, Been West” “Where to and where from?” the chopper was asked. “Going east. Been west,” he muttered as he whacked another piece of firewood. Two bedraggled children, dirty but happy, peered from the canvas? roof of the car. "Just you and the jhildren?” he was queried. “Just me and them. Their Maw” dead. That's where we come from —her funeral. I'm taking them back to Scranton, Pa.,” and “clop" went the ax. A few yards away a couple tugged on an auto’s tire.

What's the Chance of a Job? "Puncture?” ran the query. “And the first one, too. on our way north,” breathed the man as he struggled with the tire. The woman smiled. “Got to have one now and then, and I guess it can’t be all smooth sailing when you’re on your honeymoon.' Near another slow-burning campfire three boys poked at the embers. One youth twanged a guitar. • “A Shanty in Old Shanty Town, ’ cried the guitar. , "What’s the chance for a job in this burg,” hailed one of the youths. “We Ain’t Going to Freeze” “Ask him something easy,” interrupted a second ybuth-. "We’ve been west, and north, and ! east, and now we’re heading where | it’s always summer—south—. At i least we ain’t going to freeze to

death 'this winter." added the gukar player as he halted his tune. And so it is at Riverside park. North, east, west and south, they travel with their tears, their talk of jobs and honeymoons, to the vocal strain of the creaking tincan as its contents are opened.
