GERMAN NAZI LEADER

WAR HERO AS STRONG RIVAL ACCUSATIONS OF CORRUPTIONS. [By Telegraph—Press Aaaociation—Copyright.] Received Dec. 15, 9.35 p.m. BERLIN, Dec. 14. The redoubtable and bitter opponent of the German Nationalist leader, Herr Hitler, has sprung up in the person of Lieutenant \on Muecke, one of the most popular of Germany’s war heroes, who escaped with a landing party from the Emden and reached the Red Sea. He then led a party across the desert to Constantinople. Lieutenant Von Muecke was formerly allied to the Nazi, or Nationalist Party, and was their delegate to the Saxon Parliament. In his own words: • ‘ I have turned my back on them with intense loathing.” Lieutenant A on Mcucke is engaging in a great campaign, in which he is calling on Germany to throw off the mask and “realise that these men who arc posing as the nation’s purifiers arc convicted of corruption, embezzlement, usury and burglary.”

UNOFFICIAL CENSORSHIP. NAZIS BREAK UP REVUE. Received Dec. 15, 5.5 p.m. BERLIN, Dec. 14. Emboldened by their success in sccur ing the withdrawal of the war film “All Quiet” throughout Germany, the Nazis are attempting to establish an unofficial film censorship. Four hundred attended the first-night revue “Love Me” at Nuremburg. They remained quiet while girls dressed in national costumes representing various foreign nations appeared on the stage. As soon as Miss Germany appeared clad in g plain frock intended to indicate Germany’s disinterested state, the Nazis set up an uproar and hurled stink bombs and rotsrn eggs towards the stage. As a climax they released among the audience a number of white mice. The audience became panicstricken. Women shrieked and jumped up on to chairs. Police wore called in and cleared the theatre, using batons on the Nazis.
