ROYAL AIR FORCE
RECORD RECRUITING
RUGBY, Jan. 4. Since June when Sir Kingsley Wood, Air Minister, announced that owing to further expansion of the Royal Air Force 1700 pilots would be recruited, 1300 candidates have been accpted, leaving only 400 vacancies to be filled in the next three months. These 400 recruits will finish a record intake of short service officers for any year in the history of the Air Force.
DEMANDS BY GERMANY
MILITARY ALLIANCE WITH CZECHOSLOVAKIA Received Jan. 5, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 4. The Warsaw correspondent of The Times quotes ostensibly authoritative political officials from Prague that M. Chvalkovsky, the Czech Foreign Minister, has postponed his visit to Berlin because of new demands by Germany, which a section of the Government is unwilling to accept. The demands include a military alliance, under which Czechoslovakia would place ten divisions at the disposal of Germany in case of need.
