of territ if Germany German Sudeten areas. As the Cabinet met to decide on accepting dismemberment of the country, its worries were multiplied bv indications that Poland and Hungary were ciamoring for freedom of minorities, too, and laying claim to the districts partly populated by Poles and Magyars. At same time, two grave border incidents were reported In Berlin, one a clash between Czech soldiers and the Sudecen Free Corps in which 17 were wounded, the second a “revenge” attack by Sudetens on a Czech customshouse The version of the border incidents received troops of the Sudeten Free Corps tried at several points to penetrate Czech territory from Germany but were repulsed. Official statements sald sides.” An offic Cabinet's final decision on Herr HitJer's demands will be hased on the result of diplomatic negotiations now under way, particularly with the British and French. Whole Crisis Considered

The communique said the diplometic exchanges deal not only with the Czech minorities problem but also are aimed at clearing the slate the entire European crisis. Praha, the communique said, negotiating “with all states.” The communique declared government's decision would tect the life and interests nation and also the inter various national groups.” The latter statement implied consideration of the minority rights of others besides the Germans, withany thought of anything as -reaching as complete autonomy.

on the German frontier at ‘Seidenrof —it was understood that Herr Hitler would wire Chamberlain today, inviting him to a conference probably tomorrow at Godesberg, near Bonn. Substantiation of the belief that the conference would be held tomorrow was received when Propaganda Ministry announced that it had arranged reservaions for German and foreign newspapermen on tonight's train to Godesberg. There. bv the “hill of the gods” which was a Germanic place of sacrifice in the days before the Romans came 2000 vears ago, Heir Hitler intends to receive from Chamberlain—and to Insist on it— the sacrificial offering of the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia. Herr Hitler was understood to feel that there was not the slightest doubt now that Great Britain and France would refuse to fight to prevent the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. Herr Hitler had the whip hand over Europe. It was the greatest triumph of a career marked by the denunciation of the military and naval and air clauses of the Ver[sailles Treaty. by the remilitariza{tion of the Rhineland, by the ab- | sorption of his native Austria. There {was no man and no country which had dared to say him no Herr Hitler now contemplates only the remote possibility of a brief stand by Czechoslovakia against his war machine should the Czechs refuse to give up the Sudeten area or precipitate a war. He does not | figure on any aid by any nation to Czechoslovakia. Herr Hitler's bloodless victory over Great Britain and France reemphasized his remarkable political insight. He read with uncanny accuracy their fundamentally untenable political and military tions This enabled him to seize his opportunity boldly, te gamble against the overwhelming coalition which would be opposed to him in a general war, down. His triumph gives him the unchallenged. predominant political and military leadership of Europe. With Czechoslovakia dismembered and rendered military impotent, that nation, founded by the Versailles Treatv as a bulwark against the extension of German influence through Middle Europe, ceases to block Herr Hitler's economic and political domination as far as the Black Sea. He flings off. also, another sailles Treaty shackle With Czechoslovakia's dismemberment, now apparently all but an accomplished faet, Herr Hitler crashes through France's system of alliances, designed to encircle Ger‘many on the east and east and prevent ex-

After witnessing France's impotence to aid Czechoslovakia, it was forecast, Poland would quickly fall into the German orbit, despite her alliance with France. already is moving into the German orbit. The process of disintegration of the Little Entente, consisting of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia, would be speeded up. Thus, it appears, an entirely new diplomatic realignment is commencing in Central Europe at once. entailing the evaporation of BritishFrench influence and its replacement by German influence. Herr Hitler's triumph was achieved by well-night perfect functioning of his technique of bloodless “psychological war.” This entailed continual unrelenting attack on the nerves of Britain and France by dangling the threat of war before them, and by unremitting attacks on Czech nerves by an unprecedented press campaign against them—followed by the biggest military assembly since the World War under the guise of maneuvers.

There is not one iota of doubt that !

Herr Hitler was not bluffing. He intended to take military action against the Czechs if his objectives were not obtained by peaceful methods. Tens of thousands of men are! still being ca'led up. Foreign military authorities estimate that by the end of September at least 1.500.000 men will be under arms. By these methods, which constitute a new technique in the applicaftion of force, Herr Hitler forced Britain and France to do his work! for him.

Soviet Planes Fly |

It was said, however, that the planes had been purchased by Czechoslovakia in Russia before the present crisis and that their move- | ment, therefore, did not represent Russian preparations to honor treaty obligations to defend the Czech republic. Authoritative sources said that the Government was not in a position to prevent Soviet planes flying over Rumanian territory, and probably wouldn't hinder Soviet troops marching across Rumania to | Czechoslovakia provided Britain and France were taking the lead in defending the Czechs. Rut, in event of a German-Czech war in which the French and the British were neutral, Rumania would most likely be neutral, too, it was said.
