CzECHS MOVE
FORCES Up TO
BORDER line
Hungary Calls Two Glasses
to Colors as Ruthenia
Dispute Grows

ROME, Nov. 26. (UP)-Ger-
many and Italy had warned Po-
land and Hungary against any
armed invasion of Czechoslovak-
las eastern province of Ruthenia,
it was revealed last night as the
Czechs moved thousands of troops
up to the frontiers and sporadic
fighting broke out.
Czech diplomats said that Hun
gary already had called out two
army classes preparatory to in
tervention in support of demands
for a common Polish-Hungarian
frontier.
The Czechs, fearing an explo-
sion at any moment, appealed to
the four Munich powers - Great
Britain, France, Germany and
Italy-to act without delay in en-
forcing their promised guarantee
of Czechoslovakia's new frontiers.
The appeal was delivered to the
foreign offices in London, Paris,
Rome and Berlin Friday, and al
though Germany and Italy sent a
stern warning to Poland and Hun
gary the British and French de-
cided to await Identification" of
the Ruthenian situation before
taking any part in the guarantee.
The four-power offer of a
guarantee for the new Czech bor-
ders was made at Munich on Sep
tember 80 when the agreement
was reached to deliver the Czech
Sudetenland to Fuehrer Adolf Hit
ler. The offer was contingent
upon Czechoslovakia's settlement
of her minority and territorial dis
putes with Hungary and Poland.
The British and French con-
tention, according to London dis
patches, is that the International
Ambassadors commission in Ber-
lin must first announce that the
Czech boundaries have been final
ly fixed.
Then, it was explained, the
question of guarantee will be
decided on it's merits"
The Italo-German warning,
which was said to have Counsel
led" Poland and Hungary against
any joint action to seize autono-
nous Ruthenia province, was un-
derstood to have followed reports
that the Hungarians and Mag
yars planned to cause disorders"
in the province this weekend,
supposedly to justify armed in
tervention for the sake of order.
The warning indicated that
Hitler, opposed to a common Pol
frontier because it
would jeopardize his "Drang Mach
Osten" (drive to the east, had
prevailed over Premier Benito
Mussolini, who has been favorable
to such a common boundary.
Czech quarters here said that
the Hungarians, in addition TO
calling up two military classes, al
ready have sent motorized units
to Ruthenian soil.

ROYAL RANK
FOR NALLY TO
Be DISCUSSED
Cabinet Consideration Said
TO Be Assured by
British Premier
Copyright. 1888, by United Press

copyright, 1890, by united ffess
PARIS, Nov. 26. (UP)-Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain Of
Great Britain was understood last
night to have assured the Duke Of
Windsor, in their 22-minute talk
here Thursday, that the British
cabinet soon would take up the
matter of royal rank for Edwards
American-born duchess.
Chamberlain, a friend of the
Duke since the days when he
charmed the world as Prince of
Wales, left for London at 10:30
a. M, after informing the exiled
Windsors. that they are welcome
to return to. England at any time.
The only thing standing in the
way. of an early visit to England
by the Duke and Duchess is the
matter of Edwards insistence that
she be given the rank of "Her
Royal Highness" instead of "Her
Grace" and occupy position
among the duchesses of the realm
outranked only by the wives Of
Edwards brothers, Gloucester and
Kent.
When the Duke presented "thc
woman l love-" for whom he abdi-
Gated the throne two years ago. to
Chamberlain at the Hotel Meurice
Thursday evening he introduced
her as "Her Royal Highness" and
the prime minister bowed low in
acknowledgement before royalty.
Chamberlain. who was accom-
panied by British Foreign Secre-
tary Viscount Halifax on his call
on the Windsors. was said to have
listened attentively as Edward eX-
panied that his wife must be ac-
cepted as royalty if he returns to
England.
1t was then. according TO in
formed persons. that Chamberlain
assured him that the cabinet short
ly would discuss the matter.
These persons said that the
prime minister, who "wants peace
in all circles, not only political"
probably would attempt to carry
out his traditional policy of com
promise in dealing with the situa-
ton.
He was said to have Informed
Edward that the latter's mother,
Queen Mother Marv. is particular
" anxious TO see him, perhaps at
p family Christmas reunion at
Sandringham estate.
Upon his return to London. it
was speculatcd. Chamberlain may
confer with Queen Mary. telling
her Of his discussion with Edward.
"Mr. Chamberlain is a practical
man." British source said. "It
might be graceful wav for all
concerned if the Duke went home |
for Christmas with or without the
Duchess. providing the New Years !
honors list contained measure
regarding the Duchess which would
give him satisfaction.
"This can be done in "a hours
by the same process by which she
was deprived Of roval ranking at
the time of their marriage.
"The cabinet plavs the chief
role in such action. although final
ly it must be done by royal decree:
with consent Of the government"
