BERLIN, Sept. 27.-Another
visit by Sir Horace Wilson to
Reichsfuehrer Hitler today raised
new hope of a warlesS solu-
ton OF Germany's demands on
Czechoslovakia.
The meeting, the second be-
tween Hitler and British Prime
Minister Chamberlain's emissary
in two days, fulfilled the hope
expressed by President Roose-
velt that negotiations not be
broken of.
It was believed Sir Horace had
something concrete and constructive
to talk about in the half hour he
spent with the Fuehrer.
That was Chamberlain's concilia-
tory statement on Hitler's speech of
yesterday and, particularly, his offer
that Britain would guarantee that
Czechoslovakia carry out her part of
the Sudetenland agreement provided
Germany refrain from force.
Sir Horace took of by airplane
from Templehof Airdrome after see
ing Hitler and his arrival In London
was reported some time later.
Briton Makes Eloquent Plea,
The British emissary was accom-
panied to the chancellery by Sir
Neville Henderson, British Ambassa-
dor to Germany, and I. A. Kirkpatrick,
an Embassy secretary. He was re-
ported to have pleaded eloquently
that where such q far-reaching agree

ment In principal has already been
reached over the Sudetenland, the
world should not be plunged into war
merely because of differences over
putting it into effect.
Emphasizing that they could not
speak for Hitler, some Wilhelmstrasse
commentators intimated that they
thought Chamberlain's offer pointed
way out Of the impasse.
They felt that II both Hitler and
President Eduard Benes of Czechoslo-
vakia accepted this British guarantee
there would be no necessity for Ger
many to seize the Sudetenland next
Saturday by force OF arms.
Hitler Can Save Face.
The Fuehrer's speech last night was
mainly q complaint that President
Benes does not let his deeds live up to
his promises. He insisted that Ger
many merely wanted what Czechoslo-
vakia already had agreed to give after
Britain and France had mterceded
with her.
Thus, with Mr.. Chamberlain's guar
antee behind Czechoslovak acceptance
assuming the Czechoslovaks accept
under these conditions-Hitler can call

resolution asking the Washington Sub

prompt action to rid the Anacostia

was adopted last night by the Prince

lowing talk by Wilbur ]. Roe, Izaak
Walton League member, who said that

hours by President Roosevelt to Hitler
and to President Benes urging them to
keep the peace.
Nor did he thrown ony light on
the personal communication" from
Prime Minister Chamberlain Of Britain
handed to him Just three hours be-
fore he began his historic address.
Thought to Contain Warning.
But in London . highly authorita-
tive source said If Germany attacked
Czechoslovakia France would 70 to
the little republics aid and that
Britain and Soviet Russia will stand
BY France" and 1t was believed that
this had been the meaning Of Mr..
chamberlain's personal communica-
ton" to the Reichsfuehrer.
The Reichsfuehrer's immediate audi
ence OF $4,000 in the Sportpalast was
emotionally enthusiastic. Hours before
the Fuehrer appeared the vast tradi-
tional rally hall of the Nans was
crowded to its very roof beams.
Staring the crowd in the face was
q huge banner over the speakers
tribune reading: Germans in Czecho-
slovakia are neither defenseless nor
abandoned"
The crowd cheered and sang gayly
to while away the time until Hitler
made his dramatic appearance. Then.
IN . moment, the vast concourse be-
came a forest Of outstretched arms.
Slowly, Hitler. clad in the traditional
brown Nazi uniform, moved down the
length Of the auditorium between rows
Of his special black-uniformed guards.
As Hitler finished and the crowds
shouted Command Fuehrer-we fol-
low" national anthems were sung.
Hitler fumbled with his gloves and
his hat. Then. departing. he shook
hands heartily with Propaganda Minis
ter Paul Joseph Goebbels.
The crowd was still in q tumultuous
ovation as the Fuehrer strobe out.
War talk hung on every tongue to-
day. Most Germans approached took
. glum view of developments. British
residents Of Berlin were leaving en-
masse.
Ovation at Close Also.
Along the entire Silesian border
Thousands Of lorries loaded with troops
were reported moving toward the from
tier and detachments Of the German
Army from Wegscheid, Bavaria, de-
parted for the frontier zone. They
were quartered In peasant homes in
the Sesselberg district, and telephone
connections were established con-
Meeting the military command with
all frontier points. -.-..
Certain industries, such as those
dealing in furniture and ONCE equip
ment and tenting and such commod-
tiles. were asked to make the flrst of
deliveries envisaged under mobilization.
Months ago these firms were asked
to prepare Professionally for furnishing
certain things in the event Of mobiliza-
ton. Orders were placed on the
stagger system.
The first set of orders was to be
filled whenever the first communica-
ton to that effect was received from
the war department. That commune
cation arrived today.

Of Germany.

don and short-wave radio talks to
Moscow from the moment Hitler con-
cluded last night the address in which
he expressed his determination to an
mex Czechoslovakia and set Saturday
as the deadline for Czechoslovakia to
give it to him.

drive for funds to finance carrying
on the work Of the only organiza-

Operating mainly on donations

because it is not Community Chest

Mrs. Geo. A. Ormerod is headquar-
ters for ladies who practice the art of
knitting, as she offers a very COM
plete service in yarns, instruction,
styles, etc.
Since early Colonial days and with
the advent of machinery hand knit
ting has taken a back seat until its
revival at the time of the war and
then in recent years. Ladies found
that their handiwork was much more
desirable than the mass production of
the mill and much more beautiful and
serviceable. Many of the best dress
ed ladies you see are wearing knitted
garments that are the product of
their own labor.
Realizing that the art of knitting
had fallen into disuse Mrs. Geo. A.
Ormerod arranged to offer instruc-
ton in the oldest and the newest
methods of knitting. She has all the
latest styles on display and is able
to offer suggestions as to the style Of
garments that will become any lady
who may desire to knit. She furnish
es the needles, the yarn, the styles,
instruction and, in fact, all.
Her selection of domestic and I'M
ported yarns is recognized as excel
lent and the fact that they come i'll
so many shades makes these lines
very complete as you can get here
practically any color you desire, max
ing it possible to match up or have
any kind of an outfit you desire.
In making this review we are pleas
ed to compliment Mrs. Geo. A. Orme-
rod upon her contribution to mod
ern style and ladies' wear of this
section of the state.
