QUIET WARNING.

FUEHRER'S ACC USATIONS. LONDON, June 7. Dir Duff Cooper (former First Lord of tho Admiralty), making an appeal in Finchley on behalf of the national service campaign, declared that Britain’s answer to Herr Hitler’s accusation that she was a thief should he the enrolment of 100,000 volunteers within 24 hours. Dfr Duff Cooper added that it would have been unthinkable liefore the last war that a responsible man — if he still was responsible, which his actions and words seemed to make doubtful—should launch so great an insult at the most powerful country in Europe. If England were 100 per cent, prepared for war there would be no war. A message received from Beilin on Tuesday slated: Hurling defiance at “British encirclement,” Herr Hitler, addressing 215.000 ex-servicemen at Cassel, said that Britain’s aims remained the same as before tho World War. namely, the destruction of Germany’s trade. annihilation of her mercantile fleet, and robbery of her colonies. Yesterday another message from Berlin reported ITerr Hitler as declaring Britain a blackmailer and a robber ol Germany's colonics.
