"They will receive help from. us. The depriving of the rights of these people must end. "German self-restraint has been taken by many as a sign of weakness 1 want to correct that mistake." Then, with a ringing defiance that held his audience tense the man who was ail obscure corporal in the last great war boasted of the armed might of the German relch where 1,350,000 troops are under arms awaiting his orders. Since May 28?a few days after war threatened along the German-Czech border?the "most gigantic fortficaiions" have been built along the Rhiti'land facing France, he said. These fortresses, consisting of 18,000 steel and concrete units built by 2T8.000 men working day and night, are ready and "effective," Hitler said. "Behind this line stands the armed Qeruiauy." Hitler said his patience would not continue long "while the Germans of Czecho-Slovakia are oppressed." "God did not create 7,500,000 Czechs to that they might maltreat 3,500,000 Germans. "The 3.500.000 Germans are creatures of God, and were not created to bp surrendered td hatred and persecution.

EI>T) to thous amis of Nazi stalwarts packed Into Nuremberg's congress hall h lu the early part of his speech he made only veiled reference to Czechoslovakia. s He told of the persecutions of the Nazis in the early days of their sfrug. gles in Germany. "The factor recalling those times to us is that similar events (the persecutions) are on the world scene today." he said. "Our enemies are tho same." ? . He bitterly condemned the Western democracies, accusing them of working hand-in-hand with Russian bolshevisni. , There are only two nations In the world today, he said, who can claim j to be leading their people?Italy and Germany. "The democracies have accused us of being dictatorships while the bolshevist dictatorship and the Jewish capitalists art) working togother," he , said. Hitler applauded Italys new antiJewish program and referred to Jews | as "the parasites of tho world." Der fuehrer reviewed at length the , struggles and rise of the Nazi party from the days of his abortive Munish "beer cellar putsch." saying that many had scoffed at tho thought of Nazism accomplishing high tasks of leadership. "The old German nationalists were suspicious of the Nazi government." he said. "They believed the party , would be unable to determine Its own policy because It was a worker's party and lacked Intellectual leadership. They waited for the moment when the 'drummer,' myself, would be replaced by a 'real statesman.' "Now 75.000,000 people of this relch alone are Nazis. "This unity of the early days had been extended to all groups and that is the reason the foreign element which could never be fused Into the nation?namely, the Jews?had to be eliminated.' Today, he said, there is hardly a German who does not belong to some Nazi organization. "They include even German citizens In foreign countries," he boasted. "The party Is sovereign In power and may adopt even unpopular measures if necessary." He spoke of the "bitter irony" of a regime which "maintains Its rule by shooting and tortures" and Is, at the same time, member of the League of Nations. The. democracies, he said, for yearB have tried to deprive Germany of the most fundamental human rights. "They subjected Germany with bloody force," he said, "they denied us colonies and the whole world objected against giving back our colonies to us." Hitler referred to the recent Czechoslovak municipal elections and alleged that the Prague government planned to intimidate Sudetens near the German border by massing Czech troops there. In order to do this, he said President Bdward Benes of Czecho-Slovakia "invented" the story of German troop mobilizations near the border, ready to* Invade Czecho-Slovakia. This "fabrication." according to Hitler, Immediately was refuted. But the Czechs, he said, Insisted upon continuing the falsehood in order to practice intimidation against the Sudetens. "I declare that at the time not one (German) soldier above the normal number was called to the colors or moved out of garrisons." der fuehrer '?aid. "Germany had no Intention or I marching. Vou understand that this ; great power cannot tolerate such a base attack a second time. "I therefore drew the necessary conclusions and took important measures May 28. First. I ordered the German air force strengthened and then ordered fortifications built in the west (along the French border on the (Rhine). j "Since May 28 the most gigantic fortifications have been built in the west. I gave Todt constructor of high speed federal highways) ^.new tasks. He has achieved tremendous work. ' Hitler said he considered it "neceeaary" to discufSw the Sudeten Oermans' plight before the tenth Naal party congresn becaeae It 1. the flr.t rally attended by Narl atalwaru of Aoatrta.now the German province of Ostmark. - -They <the AOTtrl<ms) how bitter It la to ba aaparatad from O.a fatherland and they ondenrtand that i * ' *- * # # ?. . ?_ a . we would not be worthy of the name of Germans II we were not ready to bear all the consequences," he said. Hitler, Informing Britain and France that he had no objections to their measures of security and demanding the same right for Germany, said: "We signed the Anglo-German naval treaty not because we could not build more ships but because of our desire to never cross words with Britain again." Hitler said that Germany and Italy, united In the Rome-Berlin axis, are "rejuvenated nations," but that their youth rests on historical foundations. Der fuehrer ended his speech on a thunderous crescendo of "Hells!" at 8:35 p. m. (3:35 p. m. E. D. T.) with the statement: "Germany and the Roman empire are old powers and no power In the world can destroy them. Ton may go forth erect and ftfOud."

Then along came our furniture manufacturer und placed this wood in our homes in many forms, advises the State Forest service. The pulp mills making white papers found out, over twentyfive years ago, that the tupelo was just grand for paper making. Our cigar boxes siill look like Spanish cedar but the Spanish cellar is sliced thin, one hundred and twenty sheets to the Inch, and glued on both sides of thin tupelo boards to make cigar box wood. Some cigar box wood is Just tupelo with a Spanish cedar grain imprinted on it by a rotary press. Only a very few of our cigars are packed in boxes made entirely of cedar. Now we find that tupelo is about to grace milady's boudoir, the dining room and the master's den in the form of panelling Just because some observing persons found that the oreamy white wood can be cut so that the dark streaks make a pleasing pattern. Truly the despised tree of yesterday Is rapidly becoming the prized one of today and the proper protection of forests and the inauguration of proper timber harvesting methods is Increasingly Important to the owners of woodland, the forest Industries, wood users and all classes of people. 1 Germany Is reported to have developed a new type of aerial bomb, with liquid air as Its explosive force, which is said to be one of the most deadly and destructive Implements of war yet devised.
