TOO LATE

CANNOT GO BACK POSITION OF GERMANY EARLY ACTION LIKELY j (United Press. Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 19, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, August 18. I The Berlin correspondent of the | Times says it would be as big a disaster for Germany to turn back now as lo lose a war, according to a declaration by one Nazi spokesman. There is reason to believe that Ilerr Hitler's plan for a settlement of | the Danzig problem may be put into I effect within the next l'ew days. The Allgemeine Zeltung says Germans can count on the fingers of their hands how many more days the Poles will be master of the situation. ! Official circles emphasise that Ger- | many will not forego any of her dej inands, whatever the cost. it appears that the British and I French attitude is at last appreciated, but too late to enable Germany to go back. The anti-Polish press atrocity campaign has increased, but is not impressing the public, whose attitude is worried apathy. The Warsaw correspondent of the Times says German troop movements are not yet so abnormal as Lo be concentrations for immediate attack, but the Poles are watchful.
