REVOLUTION.

NAZI THREAT. Rumour Revived of March on Berlin. SUNDAY'S ELECTION. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, November 1. Dispatches from Berlin state that once more it is rumoured that Herr Hitler has ordered the Nazis to march on Berlin after the election on Sunday. It is recalled that similar reports were current before the last election, hut nothing of the sort happened.

Hevr Merkner, a prominent Nazi, in a speech at Koenigsburg, declared: "We are not afraid of General Schleicher. We stand with a million rifles behind us. There will be a revolution after next Sunday."

The "Daily Express" eays everybody believes that Heir von Pa pen will remain in power, Parliament or no Parliament. That is why the people of Germany are saying there may be a Hitler march this time.

The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" reports the leader of the Nazis-, Herr Hitler, as saying: "If Herr von Papen in the meantime could exert, the necessary influence he would put me on the foot-plate, not in the luggage van."

This, was said in the course of an election speech when Herr Hitler was explaining his refusal to co-operate with the Nationalists.

PRINCE DESERTER. EX-KAISER'S SON A RENEGADE. LONDON, October 26. "Renegade" and "ingrate" are amqng the terms of abuse which the Stahlhelms are heaping upon the ex*-Kaiser's son, Prince August Wilhelm. This follows upon his bitter castigation of the von Papen Government in a speech at a great Nazi election meeting, reports the Berlin correspondent of "The Times." The Prince, ignoring the Government's obvious affection for the Hohenzollerns, which has even produced expectations of the restoration of the Monarchy, declared that it had been alleged not unjustly that his Imperial father sometimes lent an ear to false advisers. The same thing happened when a little clique told President von Hindenburg that a fieldmarshal could not be expected to govern with a corporal (Hitler) as Chancellor.

The Prince declared that Herr von Papon's assumption of power was immoral. He was reaping where the Nazis had sown. He regretted that his former peers were waging class warfare, and added that neither allurements nor threats would detach him from the Nazis. He accused the Stahlhelms of abandoning impartiality and fostering monarchism when the time was not propitious.

The Stahlhelms, who include several of the Prince's brothers, are angrily telling "Auwi," as he is called for short, that he owes his financial, material and social advantages to their struggle against the Socialists, and accuse him of keeping in- the background in wartime and until 1927, when he joined the Stahlhelms, which he deserted because he was not sufficiently noticed in the Stahlhelm newspapers.
