measures" and “weakness." Since' that day he has acted with u brashness that surprised, shocked and eventually terrifled Europe's elder statesmen. To a shattered people he offered a concrete and dramatic program tor establishing the reich as a great power. Step by step be destroyed the Versailles treaty, militarised the Rhine- 1 land and relied Austria. Hut Ger-' many necessarily faced toward the east and the war-made state of Czechoslovakia stood as a carefully planned barrier to German i dominance In central Europe. Thus, in the Sudeten mountain; frontier of the Czech state, the, rulers of Europe were brought! to a decision — whether the reich’ might become supreme; whether Britain and France would be reduced to secondary powers. The difficulties of this decision are complicated by Hitler's unpre- ; dictable personal characteristics He has said that God told him, what to do. He has become furious in the presence of statesmen; found his greatest comfort in the company of his chef. Chamberlain is almost the exact opposite. Tall and slim with ai streak of grey in his hair, he can hardly be imagined execept in 1 morning coat and striped trousers., He is British “big business," son of a great imperialist, a Tory to, the tips of his polished boots., When the World War ended he I was 49 and and his political career ■ was hardly begun.

Reservists apparently were reporting to 1 their barracks progressively and i there was no evidence of general excitement. ; No fre«h reports of fighting had j been received so far today but the situation still was potentially dangerous. Attention was divided between the danger of Sudeten , ' outbreaks and the conference at 1 Berchtesgaden between Adolf ’ j Hitler and Prime Minister Neville . Chamberlain, which Czechs viewed with some apprehension. They were pleased by Chamberlain's dramatic effort to forestall war. but they were also dismay rd by the prospect that new efforts to wring drastic concessions from them might result. The Czech government and the Sudeten party were faced with a j critical deadlock in which nego- ' tiations had been broken off and violent disorders hourly threatened to touch off an explosive situation. The Sudetens appeared to have l decided on demands for a virtual I state within a state. The withdrawal of party institutions from ' I Prague and the establishment of , I a press bureau and other party j i organs at Eger seemed to indicate | that they were determined to resist martial law.

LIFE TERM FOf ARMY OFFICER Major John R. Brooks Given Life For Murder Os Wife Columbus, Ga.. Sept. 15.—XU.R) Major John R. Brooke, military I strategist and grandson of a fam--1 ous Civil war general, today faced life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Elizabeth. Brooke was a broken and dejected man and. according to his connsei, preferred death tn the electric chair to the life sentence Imposed on him last night by Federal Judge Bascom S. Beaver. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of first degree murder without capital punishment after deliberating more than 10 hours. Alter Judge Deaver told Brooke that he had no discretion in the case and was required to give him a life term, Brooke broke down and sobbed. Asked by the judge it he had anything to say, the brawney, 45-year-old infantry instructor replied: “I believe I have said all I can say.” Brooke was convicted of clubbing his wife to death on June 8 in their quarters at nearby Ft. Benning. The prosecution claimed Brooke was an habitual gambler and murdered his middle-aged wife for a double indemnity insurance policy on her life. Brooke, in his testimony, accus- - ed G-men of persecuting him after he was arrested. He swore that federal agents lied about statements which they attributed to him. I He said he was out riding at the 1 time when, according to the prose--1 cation. his wife was killed. Prosecutor Hoyt Davis brought I the government’s case to a draml atic finish by showing the jury a I life-sized picture of Mrs. Brooke s head, taken soon after her body was discovered by her two small daughters. o CHAMBERLAIN FLIES - (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I to the spacious mountain retreat 'of the Fuehrer, looking out over j the hills of Austria, which six ; months ago was joined to Gerj many. Chamberlain was greeted on the i steps by Hitler. Both were smil- . ing as they shook hands A company of Hitler's bodyguards, the ■ elite black-uniformed corps, was drawn up at attention. Hitler escorted his guests to the great main hall of the house with its beamed ceiling, tapestries and rugs. There they had tea. Chamberlain was accompanied
