HERVILE astrologers and syco- phantie numerologists have worked out new tables that extend Hitler's upward chart beyond 1940. But it is all in vain. He knows better. There is no mistaking the significance of the events since July. 1940.
Britain and the United States have written fils under his horo- scope. His conquests have come to a standstill,
I do not believe that Hiller's fall must await his death. Nor does his fall necessarily mean his death.
The man who has terrified more than 200,000,000 people in Europe is a physical coward.
He proved it during the Beer Putsch of 1923, when he crawled along the muddy gutters of the streets of Munich in his scramble for safety. He has proved it even more conclusively at Berchtesgaden.

German people realise that they are dooined; when the vision of a better world conjured up by him disappears under the merciless bombings of a superior British air force.

He hopes against hope that the British morale will crack, that Chur- chill will resign, and that Downing Street will be ready to listen to reason.
Bur that hope hes faded. Hitler, to his terror, renlises that he must attempt the Impossible: the breaking of a Crea! Britain barked now by the full resources of the United States, -
That pitiless down will come when Adolf Hitler will sit in Berchtesgaden a virtual prisoner, staring Into clouded horizon, trying to come to a decision: To live or to dio.
