.CzECHS MUST
 GET PROTECTION
Germany France, Jugosla. via, Rumania Also Give
 Warning to Germany
By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent)

NOHtcu TTcSS OtdH COTTcSpOuuclltj
 London, Aug % (UP) - Great Britain and France have warned Germany directly of the possible consequences of any aggression against Czechoslovakia. it was said today in an authoritative quarter The same sources said that Russia Rumania and Jugoslavia had told Germany that they would support CzechoSlocakia.
 Information As Given Here
 1. Britain on more than one oc- casion has warned Germany on the possible consequences of an attack ,on ezecfloslovakia over the minori. ties dispute. The warning was con. veyed by Sir Neville Henderson ambassador, now here after being called home from Berlin Saturday to receive secret instructions.
 France Will Defend Czechs
 2 Gen. Joseph Vuillemin, chic of staff of the French air force, in. formed Field Mashal Hermann Goering, Germany's air chief, in re. sponse to Goering"s inquiry tha France emphatically would carr. out the terms o fthe French-Zze. choslovak military pact if German, marched on Czechoslovakia.
 Other Nations Warn Germany
 3. Russia, Rumania and Jugo- slovia warned Germany, in response to German diplomatic inquiries that they would defend Czechoslo- vakia against any attack. This put the Czechoslovakia crisis on some what new basis. It would indicate that the speech in which Sir John Simon warned Germany Saturday ill behalf of the government were merely a strained version for the public of what actually had oc- cured.
 Sir Nevlle Henderson was said to have warned Germany not once but on several occasions.
 As for France and Russia, each is bound to defend Czechoslovakia un- der a defensive military alliance. As for Rumania and Jugoslavia, they are Czechoslovkia' partners in the little entente, and equally pledged to stand by her.
 Another Warning
 It was reported today that the government would address another warning to Germany tomorrow. by Sir Neville Henderson, pointing out the difficulty Great Britain would have in remaining neutral in any conflict that might arise from a German invasion of CZechoslovakia It was reported also that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain might back up this declaration with a per- sonal letter to Adolf Hitler.
 Chamberlain returned from the country this morning and went to his official residence office at No. 10 Downing street. Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, returned and went into conference at once with Sir Neville Henderson. Sir John Si- mon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, returned to the treasury after his speech in Scotland. Jan Masaryk, Czechoslovak minister, visited the foreign office to discuss week end developments.
 Stocks in London were quick to show the alarm over the foreign sit- nation. Government bonds, German and Czechoslovak bonds, and trans atlantic stocks dropped.
 Basis For Crisis Is Laid
 Germany had more than 1000, ,00C men under arms in maneuvers. Hit Ter spent the weel; end touring the Rhineland Qualifications area, Ger man embassies in key countries, 1t was understood, had pointed out
