GUILT OF MEMEL ACCUSED BLAMED ON PEACE TREATY

HITLER CHEERED BY HUGE CROWD

OUTSIDE CHANCELLERY

WARNING TO WORLD

Berlin, To-day.

Continual shouts of 'Germans, awake", were raised at a gathering of 25,000 people in the Ber- lin Lustgarten last night to protest against the Memel sentences.

Herr Steinacher, leader of the Association for Germans abroad, in a speech declared that the only guilt of the Memel accused was loyalty to Germany and that any blame rested on the makers of the Peace Treaty, who tore Germans from their fatherland.

"One should no longer proposo pacts to Germany after such a nation as Lithuanin has trodden the Memel convention under foot," he said.

The "sentences passed by Judge Kaunas were a crack of the whip in the face of the German nation which they would never forget (a cry from the crowd: "We shall revenge this") · Herr Steinacher warned the world that the nation of 100,000,000 Ger. mans backed the Memel Germans.
