HERR HITLER ABANDONS
FOR SHORT
HOPES DECISIVE WAR
London, October 23. . HERR ADOLF HITLER has discarded any idea that he might have had about the possibility of waging “lightning war" against the Allies, political quarters declared to-day in commenting on his round-table conference with all Nazi District Leaders (Gauleiters).
The German Fuehrer called this urgent meeting of his Gauleiters to sound public opinion in the various regions and to gauge the people's feelings on the subject of a long war of attrition. Whatever his final decision, Herr Hitler was certain to centre his future war operations on Great Britain, these political circles stated.
A direct offensive against the invincible Maginot Line was held to be most improbable for the failure of such an attempt would prove disastrous to Germany's war chances. Attacks through neutral Belgium or the Netherlands were also unlikely, political quarters added, because then the Reich would stir up the whole world's public opinion against it.

The mob vented its, rage against former Polish govern- ment bulldings, looting and sack- ing all the rooms, and then burn. ing whatever furniture was found. There were acts of vio- lence against Polish citizens and priests. At Smurgos three bandits cut out the tongue of an Ortho- dox priest after thrashing him. The aggressors were apprehend- ed and compelled to dig their own graves before being shot,-Havas.
The only certain thing about the
political quarters concluded, was that operations would be concentrated against Britain, if only because of France's lesser vulnerability due to her self-sufficiency.

Consequently, there were three! courses left open to Herr Hitler, these circles declared. They were:
1. Mass air attacks against British transports carrying supplies to the British Isles and the war fleet;
2. Accelerated war operations against Britain almultaneously with pursuance of an expansionist policy that would in no way alienate allies like Italy and Russia;
