Hitler Demands Control in Germany; Is Ready to Take Over Chancellor’s Position BERLIN, Aug. 2:— Despite the disappointing showing of his National Socialist (Nazi or Fas¢ist) party at the polls in Sunday’s general election, Ad- olph Hitler declared last night that he would aecept the chancellorship of Germany should it be offered him by President Paul von Hindenburg. Despite the indecisive result, Hitler demanded that control of the Reich should be handed over to him. Hindenburg and Hitler will confer today and the future political events in Germany will, it is under- stood, depend much upon the results of that confer- ence.

After a desultory dis- }cussion, the women were informec by the mayor and aldermen that isteps were now being taken |through funds made available by | the Rotary and Gyro Clubs, to pro- vide women and children with | clothing. If any babies were shown |to-be in actual need of fresh milk, the city would endeavour, in the {future as it haa done in the past {t5 furnish sdme. As for “schoo! 'books, the council held out littl (hope of this request being met while the more important necessi- | ties of food and clothing remained {a problem. The mayor and mem- |}bers of the aldermanic board im- | pressed upon the woman that the city was doing the very best it pogptd to meet the situation with the resources at its re At | the clase of the discussion, was decided to hold a meeting o the | special relief committee on Wed- nesday night of this week when the women will be invited to pre- sent personally any complaints they may have in regard to ad- | ministration of relief with a view to’ rectifying same if possible. Members of the delegation refer- red to the necessity of the children being provided with proper food and clothing. They asserted that the present was a period of vir- tual “baby starvation.” They cared not who provided the money so long as the necessities were forth- coming and they was the duty to give assistance City Doing Its Best The mayor and aldermen then explained to the women how plans were being made to provide cloth ing for the women and children and gave assurance that, if frest: milk were found to be necessary in certain cases, it would, be provided. It was only financial stress that prevented the city from aoing more than it was doing, It should be remembered that the city must pay for everything it got and already it was having diffi- culty in paying for the goods which had been obtained. There was no lack of sympathetic feeling on the part of any member of the council, the mayor declared One of the women complained that her husband had been called a “beggar” by a city official when he had gone to get his relief. An- other haa been asked “why he did {not support his own family?” Various members of the council lremarks being made to citizens jwho were so unfortunate as to | have to go on relief {of unequal distribution of relief |Some families were getting more }than others irrespective of the jnumber of children.
