TIME OF ACCEPTANCE ADVANCED
COMPLETE SURPRISE CAUSED. OCCUPATION OX SATURDAY. (United Pres 3 Association—Copyright./ (Received This Day, 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, .September 28. The news from Germany That 2 p.m. to-dav is zero hour came as a complete surprise to press and public throughout Britain and France. It was thought the crisis would come on Saturday but now, according to “The Times” correspondent in Berlin, the time limit for acceptance is fixed for 2 p.m. to-day in order that the Czech army, in the event of acceptance, could quit the Sudeten areas by Saturday. The world overlooked the difference between acceptance or non-acceptance, and in the event of acceptance the accomplishment of the exodus. Thus the world faces culmination of a crisis in a few hours hence instead of Saturday. A message from Paris states: “The report that Herr Hitler advanced the time limit was received here with something like stupefaction, oven by well-informed quarters.”
