THE NAZI REGIME

WAR ON OPPONENTS A "Times” Picture of New Order (Times Cable) (Received March 9 at 7.15 p.m.) BERLIN, March 9. German Government circles claim that what is tantamount to a revolution in Germany has passed off with remarkably little unpleasant incident. Though the Nazis are entitled to point to an absence of large-scale violence, local'incidents of violence and intimidation are still occurring. Workmen are being killed in houses and streets by unknown assailants. Communists prisoners have been shot while, it is stated, they were trying to escape. Individuals have been dragged from their beds by uniformed men and they have simply disappeared. Helpless people are being roughly treated in raids. Prominent Jews receive threatening letters, and distinguished persons, who are credited with “left” sympathies find that an indefinite absence from •home is advisable. In the aggregate, these incidents are beginning to assume impressive proportions, and a re causing the newspapers to urge that the Government shall enforce discipline and so gain a mastery over its own mass following. ■ • . • Herr Goering has allotted Liebknecht House (formerly the Communist headquarters) as the headquarters for the Storm Troop's, whoso Berlin leader, Count Helldorf, has declared that for every Storm Trooper killed in Berlin or in Brandenburg, three Communists will answer with their lives. Chancellor Hitlei* has received the Italian Ambassador, Signor Cerutti, conveying Signor Mussolini’s personal congratulations on the success of the CHAIN STORES CLOSED NAZIS PROTECT SMALL TRADERS. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received March 9 at 10.40 p.m.) BERLIN, March 9. The Nazis have closed the multiple “one-piece” and other stores in the Ruhr. This is on the ground that they arc Jewish controlled stores and that they threaten ruin to the small German traders. CHILDREN'S NAZI DEMONSTRATION. BERLIN, March 9.

Herr Goering has issued a statement declaring that tho men who man-hand-led three American citizens, including two Jews, were not Hitlerites, but were agents—provacteui’s disguised in tho Hitlerite uniform. COMMUNISTS ACCUSED. (“Times” Cable.) BERLIN, March 9.

Ignoring the protests of the Burgomaster -of Cologne (Dr. Adenauer), the Nazis, in the presence of a vast crowd, hoisted Itheir flag on the City Hall and other buildings.
