EYES ON GERMANY

ARMING BEYOND DOUBT. KRUPP’S WORKING CONTINUOUSLY. EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS REPORTED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received September 11, 8.40 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 10. The News of the World says that neighbouring countries are watching the events in Germany with keen anxiety. Beyond all doubt she is believed to be arming heavily in defiance of the Versailles Treaty. Imports of metals show a big increase and sections of Krupp’s armament factory are working night and day. “Big Berthas” are being built, also another colossal gun described as a world wonder for range, calibre and explosive power. Large stocks of cotton wool, grain and chemicals have accumulated and the unemployed are making aerodromes, with arterial roads strengthened to carry tanks and artillery. M. Leon Trotsky writes in the Sunday Chronicle that Herr Hitler means wai’j hoping for at least AngloItahan support on the ground that their fear of Bolshevism exceeds their fear of Hitler.

NAZI REVENGE,

PRUSSIAN OFFICIALS INTERNED,

Received September 11, 11.35 a.m, BERLIN, Sept. 10.

Prominent Prussian State attorneys, Dr Toeliler and Dr Bender, also Dr Herman, the Prussian Minister of Justice, who formerly conducted the political prosecutions, have been sent to a concentration camp. The accused were over-zealous in their prosecution of the Hitlerites and undue leniency to “criminals of the former regime.” A well-known South German Judge, Herr Eisclier, has been sent to the Stuttgart concentration camp for refusing to give the Hitler salute in Court as prescribed in the new regulations.

SANCTUARY IN LONDON.

TWO THOUSAND JEWS

Received September 11, 8.40 a.m. LONDON, Sept. TO

Professor Albert Einstein, arriving in London from Belgium, was more concerned at the loss of his notebooks en route than the reported price on his head. He is temporarily living in the English country side. The Weekly Despatch states that nearly 2000 professional Jews, many of them distinguished, have been living in sanctuary in London since the beginning of the Hitler regime.

HUNGARY PRO-NAZI

REMARKABLE SPEECH

Received September 11, 10 a.m. BUDAPEST, Sept. 10. Striking confirmation of the Hungarian Government's Nazi sympathies was seen in a speech in which the President of the Government Party, M. Stravansky, condemning Lutheran criticisms of the Nazi excesses, said that none would dare to put the teachings of Christ and Luther in opposition to the national thought and feeling. The Government’s attitude was strengthened by the growing conviction that a Nazi victory in Austria was assured.

A UNITED FRONT,

DENIAL OF REPORT

Received September 11, 10 a.m. ROME, Sept. 10

The Foreign Office denies a report that Britain, France and Italy reached an agreement to presept a united front against Germany.
