FARM IMPLEMENTS USED AS BARRICADES
(Received May 29, 7.30 p.m.)
Berlin, May 28.
Morning newspapers give prominence to an Englishman’s description of a motor-ear journey from Carlsbad to Eger, via Germany. He says lie was ordered to leave the main road 20 times, and had to drive along farm tracks and over emergency bridges.
Sudeten Germans told of other warlike preparations. Farm implements were being used as barricades, and the military had requisitioned horses. Preparations had been made in Neustadt and other towns to burn down all public buildings, including schools. Mr. William Strang, head of the Central European department of the British Foreign Office, who is visiting Paris, Berlin, and Prague for the purpose of talking over matters with British diplomats, arrived from Prague and saw the British Ambassador, Sir Nevile Henderson, who previously visited the Foreign Office.
