THE GERMAN ARMY
EFFICIENT AS IN 1915
MILITARY MANOEUVRES
HITLER CHEERED
United Press Association—By Eluctrlc Tolegrajili—Copyright. NUKEMBERG, September 15. Excitement ran wild at Nuremberg until late last night. Thousands o£ people, cheering and singing, surrounded Herr Hitler's hotel, and the scene recalled that witnessed in the Wilhelmstrasse, Berlin, at the outbreak of war, a solid mass of people singing "Deutschland Über Alles," and such Nazi songs as "Germany is ours today, the whole world will be ours tomorrow." Herr Hitler appeared several times on a balcony.
The military manoeuvres which closed the congress left no doubt to onlookers that the German army is as efficient as in 1915. Foreign attaches were most impressed with the deadly accuracy with which the most modern bombers destroyed a model village while the inhabitants,' wearing gas masks, scurried into cellars.
Then followed a demonstration of the latest methods of trench warfare, revealing that Germany has trebled her heavy tanks and other equipment within a year.
The display concluded with General Blomberg, Minister of Defence, presenting 'the army with new colours.
