HINTS IN BERLIN POSSIBLE ULTIMATUM GERMAN PEESS TIRADE ATROCITIES ALLEGED (Elee, Tol. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 14, noon) (LONDON, March 13. The British United Press Berlin correspondent says that indications are "rowing that Germany intends to take strong measures to settle the Slovak crisis, probably within 24 hours. Well-informed circles believe that the German Minister to Prague, is to-morrow delivering a demarche, which will be practically an ultimatum. It is believed in Berlin that as a result of the Slovakian situation Herr Hitler postponed his scheduled departure for Vienna for the anschluss anniversary celebrations. Well-informed circles, 'state that Herr Hitler has decided', to • intervene in Slovakia, but no indication of the form which such intervention is likely to take has been given. Meanwhile official quarters insist tha!t the 'movements of tr/oops in Austria are concerned only with the ansehluss celebrations.
An atrocity campaign in the German press is reaching a crescendo. Papers arc citing incidents of the alleged 'brutality and - tyranny with which the Czech terrorists are spilling "innocent German blood."
