NAZI TROOPS

MOVES ADMITTED BERLIN EXPLAINS ANGER AT POLAND "PERILOUS COURSE" By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received Juno 14, 12.10 a.m.) LONDON, Juno 13 German officials in Berlin admit the troop movements which were reported near the Slovak border, but claim that these are in accordance with the German-Slovak treaty of March last, permitting Germany to occupy- the mountainous zone between Moravia and Slovakia. The German Foreign Office's journal, Diplomatic and Political Correspondence, fiercely attacks Poland's iinconciliatory attitude to Germany, which it declares is becoming more pronounced, as an obvious result of the British encirclement policy. Germany's Dangerous Mood The journal adds: "Insults against Germany arc of daily occurrence, and Germans in Poland are being continually oppressed. The Polish tactics toward Danzig show clearly the perilous course the Poles are steering." A political spokesman said: "Viscount Halifax's speech is a step backward rather than forward, affording fresh encouragement to the Poles to continue their machinations. Germany has been willing to negotiate, but Poland, encouraged by the blank cheque from England, seeks other ways. Germany will not beg on her knees for Danzig." Army Concentrations Confirmed Jn order to save their machines from falling into the hands of Germans, three Slovak bombers were landed at Deblin, says a message from Warsaw. The pilots confirmed the reports of German troop concentrations in Slovakia, bordering on Poland. A message from Danzig states that the Government is charging the Polish Customs Inspector, Jan Lipinski, with attempted espionage. It has promised that he will be given a public trial. KLADNO SHOOTING NURSE'S SELF-ACCUSATION MISPLACED PATRIOTISM BARON VON NEURATH'S GESTURE PRAGUE, Juno 12 It is officially stated that the Czech nurse who voluntarily surrendered to the police, posing as the murderer of the German police chief, Hcrr Kncist, who was shot at Klad.no, has been detained as an impostor. It is alleged that she acted from a misplaced patriotic impulse. The Nazi Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Baron von Neuratli, has sent £125 to the mother qf the Czech policeman who was shot dead in a clash between German and Czech police at the frontier town of Nacliod. He said he regretted his death. He has replaced the German police force in the town.
