Hitler Declares Fight for Power is Won

''.NOBODY-CAN NOW RESIST US' CONCENTRATION CAMPS CROWDED Received Tuesday, 2 a.m. BERLIN, July 10. "The Concordat with the Vatican and the disappearance of the •Centre party signifies the end of the fight for political power," declared Herr Hitler, addressing '70,000 Storm troopers at Dortmund. . "Stronghold after stronghold we . Jiave taken. There are now gigantic tasks ahead, "but we will mas- • ter them. Nobody can now resist us. "Our first task is the education of the individual German for the jiew State and our second is to combat unemployment until it ceases to be a problem. We shall create for Germany's millions not only the possibility to live but will take from them that faintheartedness which has made them despair of the task of life." It is reliably stated that at least .3. hundred thousand are now in the concentration camps, including well-known scientists, medical men .and politicians. Hundreds of Republicans are still fugitives, fleeing from one corner of Germany to the other, preferring to risk . .almost certain capture rather than leave the Fatherland. More Ghastliness ! _____ • HOW NAZIS DEAL WITH VICTIMS. Received Monday, 10.30 p.m. LONDON, July 10. The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspondent says confirmation has been received of the murder'of the Socialist Reichstag deputy, Johannes Stelling, by Nazi storm troops during a midnight Nazi raid upon the workmen's colony .at Kopeniek, where Stelling lived. The young son of a trade union-secretary named -Schmans lost his head and shot three raiders. The whole colony was then searched until Stelling was found. For a week no information as to his fate was avail.able and then his body was found in the Zerpen canal sewn in a sack. Stell.ing was identified though his face was beaten to pulp. Young Schmans was .also found in the canal beaten to death, and finally his father's body was found .in the canal. Schmans' mother, meantime having gone out of her mind, was sent to an asylum. The Nazis ■'- method of beating is to ruse a steel rod '' from the belt -down- - wards/' After the beating the victim is stripped to the waist and shown to the Nazi prison doctor who smilingly certifies that :he has not been touched.
