WILLIAM PATRICK HIT- LER (Willy). Adolf's British- born nephew, who is touring the United States and making big money with a series of lectures

"What the German people are thinking," sent a letter to a friend in London recently, and enclosed the prospectus of his four.

His agents, Harold H. Peal, of New York, say in their announcements [that Willy litler "presents the start- lug story of the real Germany hid- den by Nazi fictions,"

Willy is the son of Adolf's half- brother Alols, a Berlin restaurant- keeper. His mother is Irish.

He was educated in England, and went to live in Germany shortly after Hitler came to power in 1933. Ite and his mother went to the United States lad February.

The announcements of his lecture tour say!-

"William Hitler has had stormy relations with his uncle. At first, for political reasons, Adolf Hitler denied that they were blood relatives.

"When William published articles at his father's request to correct

certain statements about his

family, Hiller summoned him and his father to his hotel, and in an hysterical Interview threatened to kill himself if anything more was published concerning his family

But Hiller became enraged when his nephew refused to obey tom--

Willy's mother says that Adolf was known in the family as "a man with a big mouth and a little hand."

Her son predicts that the Nazi State cannot stand more than nine months of war.

Alois Iller was a walter in Dublin when he first met Willy's mother, a farmer's daughter. Three sears after their redding he descried her nt Liverpool, and married bigamous- ly in Germany.

Ships Undelivered

At the outbreak of war there was Ja large number of ships under con- struction in German yards for for- eign countries in exchange for frozen credits. Many of these vessels are still undelivered owing to the Inck of materials.

Germany's claims that she can balance her submarine losses by new boats are vastly exaggerated. She also claims that in 1917 her U-boat output was one a day and that she expects to improve that production,

Oll

In actual fact the production of German submarines in 1917 did not approach the figure they claim. For the whole of that year the number commissioned was only 87. varying between four and 12 per month.

Shipbuilding experts with whom I have discussed the question and who know the German yards intimately are convinced that the Nazis cannot possibly produce more than six U- bonts each month under favourable And they are being sunk conditions. at that rate by the Allied navics.
