Earle, until recently minister to Austria, and now the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. Earle arrived on the U. S. liner Manhat tan from London.

"I am certain," he -said, "that the Germans will rid themselves of Hit ler in the near future.

There have been definite signs of it In the last two weeks. Hitler's passing is simply a matter of time, and then the Germans will act as a great people have always acted."
