FORMAL OCCUPATION.
Capital Packed With German
Soldiers.
ROADS TO POLAND JAMMED.
(Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 16.
"The Times" Budapest correspondent says it is reliably stated that a German military commander will shortly be installed in Bratislava.
Already the streets are filled with German uniforms. Although officially no German officers are there formal occupation of the Slovak capital is expected.
It is almost impossible for Slovaks or Hungarians to cross the Hungarian frontier, while the roads to Poland are congested with German troops.
Count Sigray, leader of the Hungarian Legitimists, speaking at Budapest, said that Hungary would never listen to any but Hungarian commands.
