FRENCH ALLEGATION Hitler Avoiding Provocation BIG PARADE CANCELLED (By Telegraph-Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 16, 9.30 a.m.) METZ, March 15. It is reported that Germany, far from withdrawing forces from the Rhineland, is increasing them. From Saarbruck it is reported that further detachments of heavy artillery have arrived. It is stated from Loerrach that the garrison was reinforced by a regiment of artillery on Sunday. A big parade of Rhineland troops which was intended to be held at Frankfort-on-Main to-morrow has been abandoned. The troops will merely bo inspected at their barracks. It seems possible that tho cancelling of the parade may be regarded as a symbolical concession to French opinion. The parade had been planned on a grand scale. Several thousand troops from other garrisons beside Frankfort would have participated. A Colagne message say that, in order to avoid provocation of foreign Powers, Herr Hitler forbade the carrying of wartime colours in an ex-servicemen's parade on tho occasion of the* delication of new flags designed by him, 620 of which were carried.
