The entire constabulary at Cracow has been mobilised for to-morrow to pi - event a demonstration when Count Ciano lays a wreath at Marshal Pilsudski's tomb.

It is reported that Danzig Polytechnic, in which Xazis and Polish students clashed, was closed in response to a Polish request.

The "Daily Telegraph" Warsaw correspondent says that -mounted police made a baton charge on students out- j side Parliament House and the Foreign Office. Police surrounded the university, confining hundreds of students in it. Students at Ulica and Wilcza demolished the German Club. Crowds wrecked the German high school at Chorzow, explaining in a leaflet that it was revenge for Danzig. There were similar occurrences at Poznan, Cracow, Lemberg and Vilna, but Danzig is believed to be quiet. An Independent Cable message says that, shouting, "Out with the Poles," Nazi students at Danzig threw out 50 Polish students from a lecture room in the Technical High School. Later 5000 Poles demonstrated at Gyndia, shouting, "Down with Hitler and Germany."

Anti-German demonstrations are reported at Teschen, Trzynietz and other centres. A number of German shop windows were smashed. Students at Cracow paraded an effigy of Hcrr Hitler, which they pelted with stones.
