"SOUTH TYROL" DRAMA: "I CAN'T HELP IT," SAYS HERR HITLER

LONDON, July 18 (By Air Mail) Herr Hitler's intimates are whispering a dramatle story, the scene of which was the Fuchs rer's mountain house in Berchtesgaden: the time, last Satur- day.

The title of the drama is "South Tyrol," and the two ac tors who played it. without äudlence, in Hitler's study, were the Fuehrer and a fifty-year-old South Tyrol Nazi. now an Italian subject former war comrade of Hitler.

The man, a small farmer of Sauth Tyrol, travelled from his village near Bolzano to Berchtes- gaden in a

third-class · railway carriage through the night, and presented himself to the 8.8. guards at Herr Hilter's house early On Saturday morning..

On a yellow. crumpled demobl- lisation certificate he wrote his request to the Fuehrer to receive him for old time's sake.

350,000 VICTIMS

South Tyrol, ceded to Italy by Austria in 1919, has a German-speaking population of about 350,000. Those will- ing to go will be transferred to the Reich. The others will be forced to move to other parts of Italy.

Hitler came out after receiving the message and led the man of the Fuehrer, who gave his word swop the thousand-year-old whom he called Sepp (short in to Austrian dialect for Joseph). to home of the people of the South

EMERGENCE

OF A NEW CHINA

Roads, Industries And Railways

LONDON, July 19 (By Alr Mall) Brigadier-General Woodroffe told a graphic story of the emergence of a new industrial China at the' meeting of the "Pekin Syndicate" on July 18.

This is a side of war conditions of which little is heard, but the General was able to tell from his cwn observation of whole fac- tories and steel works with their entire contents being transferred bodily from the war areas to the quieter regions of China's south- west in which a population of 150,000,000 la living in something like peace.

Three whole provinces that have been mainly agricultural from time immemorial have begun to exploit the immense mineral re- sources that ile beneath the soil.

New Spirit

It would be ridiculous to assume that China's economic problems; have been solved or that a coun- try of which large areas are in Japanese occupation can, carry on normal life, but General Wood- foife, bears witness to the spirit in which China is facing her calami- ties and building a new nation amid the chaos of war.
