Reports of an investigating com- mission were made to Hitler, in which it was said positive proof had been found in parts of the infernal machine that showed it was of for- eign origin. Rudolf Hess, Nazi Party Deputy Leader, in an oration, characterized | the bombing as “one of the most dastardly plots in history. The last thought of the victims was of Adolf Hitler.” Hess also added: “Their deaths have brought the full consciousness of the German people that our Fuehrer was to have been a victim, but the Fuehrer lives, Providence has ever been with us.” German chemists are understood to be analyzing bomb fragments to determine their origin definitely, German news releases said, in an| effort to establish that the plot| aimed at Hitler had been instigated | by the British Intelligence Service. | Pope Direds Appeal Today To Americans Asks Solution of Capital, Labor Conflict in United States ‘ VATICAN CITY, Nov. 11. — The| Pope, in a special encyclical, today | appealed for the application of the Christian spirit toward the solution | of the capital and labor conflict in| the United States.

' Results of anti-aircraft fire were } unrevealed. | | Barrage Military sources said the mass { flights were aided by a heavy Ger- {man artillery barrage, while infan~ | try, on mile long fronts at two un- |disclosed places, reached French (‘s(‘('und line diggings before coun= ter attacks regained the positions. | French military leaders said there |are increasing indications that the | Germans are considering simultan- |eous drives through the low coun- | tries and against the Maginot Line. |Two German attacks against the French positions on the Rhine-Mo- selle front are believed to have been intended to test the strength of the French positions. While their land forces were car- ying out attacks on the French |lines, Germa nreconnaisance planes |flew deeper into French territory 'and it was reported that many of |the German planes deliberately |took routes for their homeward flights which took them over Bel- gian territory. The French high command re- ports that both the German at- | tacks, in which about one regiment |was engaged, had been thrown |back under heavy artillery and in- | fantry fire. l The attacks were the heaviest since the German advance in the | middle of October when the French ;remed from their advanced posi- | tions to their present defense line. | The closeness with which the | Germans are watching moves in Bel- ‘glum and The Netherlands is in- dicated when German news agen- cies disputed repgrts of Netherlands | defense measures.
