reau disclosed several weeks ago tha maneuvers would be held there iron August 30 to September 4. It hap pened, however, that they were a the point at which army men would expect German army if Germany attacked France through Switzer land.
 Hungary Starts Maneuvers
 And a brief dispatch from Isida. pest reported Saturday, while Ad- miral Nicholas De Horthy, regent o1 Hungary, was on his way home from state visit to Germany, that fall maneuyers of the Hungarian army had been started and would extend to all parts of the nation.
 British cabinet members began gathering today for conferences, and for an emergency informal meeting tomorrow. Prime Minister Chamber lain, Viscount Halifax, Foreign Sec rctary, and Sir Neville Henderson arranged series of talks to pre- pare the basis for the cabinet meet ing. Alfred Duff Cooper, first lord of the admiralty, was hastening home in the admiralty yacht Enchantrcss and, Interestingly, through Ger many's strategically important Kiel canal-from Baltic yachting cruise, to take charge of the navy.
 For the moment, Sir Neville Hen- derson was the key man. It was learned only last night that he had been ordered home secretly and had arrived by airplane Saturday. Not even attaches of Croydon airport knew that the tall, gray haired man with the straggly mustache and heavy eyebrows clad in his favorite sports clothes, was Henderson. Thir- ty-three of his 56 years had been spent in the diplomatic service. Per- haps at no moment was his respon- sibility greater than now.
 Henderson Is Key Man
 It was understood that the gov- ernment brought him home to ask him D what was the real meaning, in his best judgment, of the gigantic Germany army mancuycrs: p whether increasing manifestations of Gcrmanys impatience over the CZechoslovak situation contained the elements of war or whether he be- licved them to be bluff, backing up diplomatic efforts to squeeze the maximum of minority concessions from the Czechs. Wrong answers by Henderson to these questions might, obviously, be of tragic importance.
 Hendcrson's instructions, on his return to Berlin after tomorroW's cabinet meeting-which he will at tend--Were expected to include the statement that Britain felt that the efforts of Viscount Runciman, its adviser In the Czechoslovak minori- les dispute, were being imperilcd by the bitter German attacks on Czech- oSloyakia. These attacks are being made by radio, in newspapers and fin speeches.
 German Reaction Displeascs
 It was apparent that German re- action to Sir John Simon's speech was not satisfactory to the govern mcnt. Also officials made 1t known that they were not satisfied with the results of previous reminders through diplomatic channels oi British policy.
 Aside from German reaction which was inspired, the Simon speech seemed to have been inter- prctcd in European capitals, and in Geneva, seat of the League of Ma tons, as a rather clear warning that Britain would not be neutral in any war which involved Germany and | France.
 Poland Uncertain
 Poland's attitude in the crisis wa! | uncertain, nor was 1t revealed whether Germany sounded out Pc land, If she did, Warsaw has no advised either London or Paris Rumania and Jugoslayia both in formed the French while Moscoy informed Prague, the latter passin! the information on 10 London.
 IL was believed Poland would b. reluctant to reveal which way sh will swing. Well-informed Czecl sources here declared Prague be lieVes decision on the Sudetei problem, one way or another, mus come within two weeks.
