Herr Henlein's sudden and mysterious departure from Praha three days before the election. The Praha Right Wing newspaper Narodni Politika said he was going from the Austrian Alps to visit Herr Hitler at Berchtesgaden. The Sudeten Germans said merely that he had gone to the “Alps,” country unspecified, for a vacation.

Czechoslovakia or Germany. Mussolini May Know

Diplomatic quarters expressed belief that embitterment of relations | between France and Italy over the | | Spanish civil war might have im-

tentions toward Czechoslovakia. It was said that if France aided the Czechs, she might find herself under

a double menace. In some circles it was believed that Premier Benito Mussolini might have discussed this possibility with Herr Hitler during the Nazi leader's visit to Rome, Sig. Mussolini's anger at France has been made clear now. His reference in his speech at Genoa a week ago today to France and Italy being on opposite sides of the barriers in the Spanish civil war was intended to inform France that he had information that France was permitting enormous supplies of war materials to reach the Loyalists. Sig. Mussolini himself is somewhat bound, because of his recently treaty with Britain, against direct retaliation by stimulating aid to the Rebels, Now Premier Mussolini's anger at the alleged French supply line is | said to have been intensified by a

This must | be read in the light of Herr Hit-| ler's recent statement that he would | not permit any oppression of the | Sudeten Germans, it was held. The |

Recent rumors of troop movements by Poland on the Czechoslovak frontier, Goebbels Speech Causes Fear It was such factors as these that caused anxiety even before the decision of the Czechoslovak Cabinet to call out men.

Observers here who had watched Chancellor Hitler's methods since his accession to power were convinced that German opinion, and | international opinicn, was prepared for something.

SHANGHAI, May 21 (U. P).— | Heavy artillery fire broke out northwest of Shanghai today and it was | reported that guerrillas had made a | daring raid almost to the city boundaries. Firing became general in the | Tazang and Nanziang suburbs, and continued for an hour. The apparent guerrilla raid to the doors of Japan's stronghold here coincided with a dramatic series of

Chinese air raids, retaliating for the fall of Suchow. _ Chinese planes bombed a Japanese Army airport at Pengpu, on the Nanking-Tientsin railroad south of Suchow, and bombed and ma-

Chinese authorities said that their planes which dropped handbills over Japan yesterday, on the first raid in history against the | Japanese group of islands, dropped | a total of one million leaflets. The | leaflets were addressed to Japanese workers, peasants, intellect-
