Berlin, Jan. 21.
Captain Fritz Wiedemann, Herr Hitlers personal aide-de-camp, has been appointed German Consul-General in San Francisco, replacing Baron von Willinger, at present in San Francisco and who will return to Berlin towards the middle of February.
Captain Wiedemann stated he was very satisfied with the appointment and that he would join his post shortly.
The new Consul-General, who speaks fluent English, was Commander of the Company in which Herr Hitle: served during the World War, and later became his confidential adviser.
A report intended for foreign consumption adds that the appointment was made in reply to the Captain's personal desire. Political circles state that the Fuehrer wished Captain Wiedemann to be removed for some time from the political agitation which was rising round him, but there is no question of a disgrace.—Havas.
