Berlin BIames Czechs.

BERLIN. Sept. 3-Germany's con-
trolled press holds Czechoslovakia re-
sponsible should the Sudeten German
minority problem embroil Europe in
conflict
Almost daily newspapers present in
varying degrees of intensity picture
of what section of the public inter-
prets as possible war causes-especially
in the light of Chancellor Adolf Hitler's
pledges to protect Germans outside
the Reich and to defend Europe
against Bolshevisn.
The papers hammer away at the
thought that the British, who have
sent an unofficial mission OF mediators
to Czechoslovakia, simply do not
understand the situation when they
demand sacrifices by the Sudeten
Germans.
One thread woven through German
reports on the Czechoslovak situation
is that responsibility for any conse-
quence lies squarely on Praha's door
step"
Six general themes predominant
l. Atrocities" against the Sudeten
Germans by the Czechs.
2. "Evasions" and IAN unbending
attitude" on the part of the Praha
government toward solution of the
problem.
3. WAR -engendering hate" incited
by the Czechs throughout the world
4. Czechoslovakias "provocations'
against Germany by insults to Hitler
and the German Imperial Army and
by order violations.

ton-Gwatkin, trouble shooter of the
British Mediation Mission in Czecho-
slovakia, went to Marienbad today to
see Konrad Henlein, leader of the
Sudeten Germans
Henlein was returning from confer
ences in Germany with Chancellor
Hitler, who backs the Sudeten Ger
mans and the British mission was
eager to learn at first hand just what
was the complete accord the two
fuehrers found.
Despite the calm assurance of Wis.,
count Runciman, head of the mission,
some Czechoslavak quarters were ner-
vous. They feared Ashton Gwatkin
was hurrying to Henlein Ito save" the
deadlocked negotiations.
More Optimistic View.
The more optimistic Czechoslovak
view, however, was that Lord Runci-
man already had started talks between
President Eduard Benes and the
Sudeten German party's Steering
Committee and wanted as exact in
formation as possible to help along
the delicate discussions.
r Lord Runciman himself prepared to
spend another week end in the country,

The choice of his retreat possibly
was significant because Saar is within

WITH THE CHINESE ARMY ON
THE SOUTH YANGTZE FRONT,
Sept 3.-Here in Hankow's hilly outer
defenses, 100 miles southeast of The
Chicago of China" Chinese Armies are
not only blocking the japanese often
slve to the west, but literally are
standing the invaders on their heels.
The japanese have succumbed to
their old weakness. They have under
estimated the strength and fighting
spirit of the Chinese. On both the
north and south banks of the Yangtze,
the Chinese have taken the offensive
from the enemy, and are forcing down
the throats of the Japanese Army
bitter doses of their own lethal medi-
cine
The recapture by the Chinese of
three cities on the north side of the
river has just been capped by reoccu-
patton of two important hills over
looking the advance Japanese strong
hold at Juichang, near here.
Evidence of Ferocity.
The scattered 3O-mlle procession of
limping, bandaged soldiers that 1
passed on my way to the front bore
evidence of the ferocity Of the struggle
on those two hilltops, which Gen
Tang En-po. hero of Taierhchwang
(where in April the japanese suffered
their first great defeat in modern
times, who is now commanding the
Juichang front, described to me today
in these words:
1T was a hand-to-hand combat-a
type OF warfare in which the Chinese
excel. In three days of fighting those
two hills have been bathed in blood,
but it was worth the sacrifice We
put whole japanese brigade out of
action, and today hundreds of Jap
anese corpses lie rotting on those hill
Sides
Gen, Tang, visibly elated by the IA
vorable turn in the fighting, said that
the events of the last week had DEM
onstrated that the japanese have
greatly underestimated the Chinese
strength and that they will require Is
divisions to advance on Hankow-a
vastly costlier and more difficult
operation than they had anticipated.

Yesterday. travelling with a truck
load of Chinese wounded, I saw men
in acute suffering from deep burns
and blisters that covered their limbs
and bodies.
rs any better proof needed?" Gen.
Tang asked, 'of the japanese desper-
alton? Those wounds were caused by
poison gas, spread among our troops
by aerial bombs and artillery shells.
We lost two full battalions from this
cause in the fighting on the Yangtze
River bank last week. 1t is tragic
fact that only a few of our troops are
equipped with masks. We are desper-
ately in need of more"
