SYMBOL OF NAZIS’ FUTURE

GIFT FROM ARTISTS OF MUNICH SMASHED AT HITLER’S FIRST BLOW United Press Association —By Electrle Telegraph—Copyright (Received October 16, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 15. A Munich message says that in laying the foundation stone of the “House of German Art," Herr Adolf Hitler was given a silver hammer as a symbol of Nazism’s future. Herr Wagner, in presenting the hammer, said lie hoped it would be used at all similar functions. Herr Hitler’s first stroke broke the mallet. Herr Hitler seemed dazed and slowly and silently resumed his seat, abandoning his prepared speech. The superstitious descry an omen in the incident. HITLER RUNS AMOK. DENOUNCED BY AUSTRIAN PRESS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received October 16, 7.30 p.m.) VIENNA, October 15. It is believed that Germany’s preoccupation precludes the Nazis bothering about the conquest of Austria. The Socialist paper, “Der Tag," declares: “Herr Hitler has ran amok, and thrown down the gauntlet to the civilised world, which is united against Hitlerism, because nobody knows what explosion may arise from its diseased psychology.”
