Unof- ficial sources said that England was making it clear that she would enter the conflict if Germany decided to seize Czechoslovakia either by coup as she did Austria or by direct as- sault.
 German troops continued to mo- bilize today and in France the re- servists which were to have been released on September 1 were kept under arms. Apprehension was felt through France.
 Unconfirmed report was that shots had been engaged between guards on the Czeck- German front, but official sources made no men, tion of it.
