German Press Warns.
CzeChs of Watch
BY PIERRE J. HUSS

BERLIN, May "a dN.SO.-Re-
newing fears Germany may not be
satisfied with the status of the
Czech.Nazi crisis, Chancellor Hit
Ter was en- route to Berlin from his
Bavarian retreat today
There were reports many Ger
man officers had been recalled to
their barracks, and trains moving
toward the German frontiers were
reported still packed with troops.
The Nazi newspaper Der An
griff, in a special dispatch from
Prague. said it had learned Czech
mobilization will be maintained
for q month.
MEETING REPORTED
Hitler entrained for Berlin ac-
companied by several OF his aides.
It was reported he had summoned
a special meeting of his advisers
at the German chancellery tonight
or Wednesday.
Despite assurances G r m ny
does not intend to use military
force in solving the Sudeten-Czech
autonomy controversy. an indi-
rect denial of reports Germany
had fatty stated she would not
march against Czechoslovakla was
contained in authoritative COM
ment issued this morning by the
German press.
This was to the effect that Ger
many was keeping sharp watch
for further developments in

PEACE DESIRE STATED
1.-THE mobilization order of the
Czech government clearly
proves that either the Anglo
French steps at Prague were not
taken seriously enough or the
meaning and content of talks
with diplomatic representatives
of those two countries have
been misunderstood :.
Despite continued czech
provocation, Germany has kept
calm and renowned its obvious
measures. Recent events again
have proved Germany's willing
ness to maintain peace, al
though she will he compelled
seriously to watch for further
incidents"
The Lokal Anzeiger said in an
editorial: German self-restrict-
tion," alone prevented the Czechs
from putting sparks to a powder
barrel" It added:
They may take note, how
ever, that Germany's readiness
for peace and patience is not
inexhauStibIe."
