GREAT BRITAIN CALLS CONSCRIPTS TO COLORS] (Con tin nod from Vnue Ono) ial army, ambulance corps, air raid precautions organizations and auxiliary bombing laid fire squads will take part. Tomorrow night Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain will broadcast hy radio an appeal to every citizen to join civil defense preparations. Next week the government will begin distribution of 45.000.000 civil fTefense pamphlets, entitled “If War Should Come,” instructing the population how to race air raids and other dangers. On the political side, Polish officials in London said that they had every reason to believe that they would receive Britain’s immediate and unstinted aimed assistance if Poland considered her independence menaced not merely by a German invasion of Danzig but also by a coup inside Danzig. A British spokesman said that he was sure that reported German activities in Danzig would fail to provoke premature Polish counter-ac-tion. Also, it was understood that as the result of alert observance of German activities Polish authorities believed that Adolf Hitler was unlikely to try now to incorporate Danzig into the Nazi reich. It was reported here that 4.000 German Nazi storm troopers were now in Danzig, that Germany had been sending substantial supplies of ammunition to Danzig, and that Danzigers had completed anti-tank defenses and listed cars belonging to members of the Danzig-German automobile club, for possible requisition. It was understood that the Polish government was considering a protest to the Denzig nazi senate concerning armed preparations. A British spokesman said that th? reported activities violated the demilitarized status of Danzig under international statute.
