WHERE IS ADOLF?

KEEPING OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT HIMMLER APES THE FUHREft (llec. 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 6. Another big Nazi occasion has passed without a word or sign from Hitler, and with the Gestapo chief, Himmler, taking the limelight. Hitler's activities were mentioned from Berlin to-day for the first time since September 19. The German News Agency reported that Hitler on October 26 personally received Colonel-general von Blaskowitz, commander of the southern sector of the western front. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the incorporation into the Reich of that part of Poland which the Germans call Warteland and, as the Fuhrer's deputy, Himmler was given a reception previously accorded only Hitler himself. Regimented ranks of Nazism cheered him to the echo when he dedeclared: "We Germans will recon-

quer all the territories we have lost in tne east, and sooner or later you will again advance and retake the territory the Reich needs. Germany has passed her crisis. The past four months will be regarded in the history of the war as the most decisive test or whether the German people were worthy to win this long war. This test has been successfully passed. The Warsaw rising has been the Bolshevist putsch in Slovakia is drawing to an end, and in Hungary a change of Government has brought the Nationalist forces to the lead. The demand of the hour is to fight, so that it must gradually dawn on our enemies that to continue the onslaught against Germany is bound to mean national suicide for themselves."

The Germans are perplexed that Hitler should have permitted Himmler, who has been apemg him in manner and speech for months, to go on the air to call German manhood into the Volkssturm. They are noticing that Himmler and Goebbels have controlled everything since the bomb plot.
