SECRET STATION

BROADCAST ATTACK ON NAZIS RESISTING HITLER'S TYRANNY LONDON, September 16. “ Do not believe Goebbels’s lies. All his boasting does not hide the fact of our oppressors’ shivering fear because they know now that they have lost their bloody game.” These were the words with which a woman announcer, in the name of the German freedom army, introduced a broadcast throughout Germany from a secret station. “ We Germans are starving in the towns and lying in the trenches while the Nazis strive for the maintenance of tyranny. But there will come a day before long when we will abolish starvation and war by abolishing tyranny. We are not, strong enough yet, but we are becoming stronger' every day. Let Hitler win his battles in Poland; we are winning ours in the queues where women are vainly waiting to get a few ounces of fat. We do not care whether it takes six months or six years. We know the victory is certain. Slaves are fighting for Hitler, but the German freedom army, which is the true army of the German people, frill fight in alliance with the most powerful free men of the world.” The remainder fo «the speech was jammed out. GERMANS DESIRED PEACE LEAGUE COMMISSIONER'S VIEWS COPENHAGEN, September 16.. Herr ißurckhardt, who was, the League Commissioner of Danzig, in an interview, said that Hitler’s invitation to go to Berchtesgaden on August 13 came over late. ± ' “ J might perhaps have had chance at an earlier stage.” he said, “since it is my opinion that every German desired peace from the bottom of bis heart. The man in the street in Danzig is indifferent and tired, and none really thought that local affairs would occasion such a catastrophe.” “I do not think,” he added, that Poland is finished yet. The feeling in the Baltic States is that Russia will not enter the war unless the Germans look like being beaten.” EXTRA COMPENSATION DEMANDED AMERICAN CREWS REFUSE TO SAIL NEW YORK, September 17.
