ALL GERMAN SHIPS
ON HIGH SEAS RECALLED

BERLIN, Sept. %. (tP) Ger
man steamship lines recalled ships
on the high seas and cancelled
sailings from German ports today
as the threat of war over Czecho-
slovakia grew more imminent.
One of the ships recalled, it was
understood. was the crack liner
Europa, which sailed for New
York yesterday from Bremenha-
ven. The Hamburg, due to sail
tomorrow, will be held in port
"fOr the time being" the Ham
burg-American line said. Passen-
gers were advised to remain at
Hamburg.
German authorities at Vienna
announced that freight and pas
senger traffic on the Danube, the
great artery to the Black Sea, had
been interrupted ''for the time

reach. which lies between Austria
and Hungary on one side and
CzechoSlovakia on the other.

HUNGARIAN, RUMANIAN GRAIN,
OIL, SAID HITLER'S ACTUAL AIM

peace he could foreSee at this
stage in the crisis was for the
democratic nations to stand firm
ly together.
Hurban contended there never
was "Sudeten problem" until
Hitler came to power or even un-
til the AnschuluSS of Germany
and Austria.
He contested Hitler's assertion
that there is no Czechoslovakian n
nation.
"Hitler will be deadly sure he
made a mistake when he meets
my Slovak people-if he dares--
who will face him the same as the
Czechs," he said.
Hurban said it was miscon-
ception that the Sudeten Germans
wanted "to go home" to Germany
as Hitler claimed. He said the
Sudeten never was in all history
part of Germany, but was for
centuries part Of the Kingdom of
Bohemia which regained after
the World war it's liberty lost over
800 years ago.
In support of his contention
that Hitler used the Sudetens as
an "excuse" or "camouflage" for
other purposes, Hurban cited Hit
ler's silence about the Germans
living in Italy, of whom he said
there were half a million utterly
without cultural rights to keep
their German nature.

BRITISH NAVY
Modified AS
MENACE CROWS
Action Taken After World
Warned England Ready
to Fight
BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN
Copyripht 1888 by United States

LONDON, Sept. 2S. (UP).-
Great. Britain today modified her
fighting fleet, mightiest navy in
the world, and sent a ringing
warning around the world that she
is ready to fight if Adolf Hitler
tries to dominate the world by
threats of force.
King George VI, supreme COM
mander of the British armed
forces, placed the country under
a "state of emergency"-A pre-
liminary to a declaration of war
as reports early today reached
London that Hitler's armies might
invade Czechoslovakia before
nightfall.
The air force was under mobili-
zation by a royal decree, issued
at the same time as the proclama-
ton of a state of emergency"
and all that remained was to mob
ilize formally the army of 925,-
600 officers and 5000 600 men
throughout the empire.
The l1th-hour warning of Bri-
tain's readiness to fight-not on
the mere issue of little CZecho-
slovakia but in a showdown on
Hitler's methods of threat and
force-was broadcast to the world
yesterday by Prime Minister Ne
vile Chamberlain.
Chamberlain, who assailed Hit
ler's unreasonable attitude" to-
ward Czechoslovakia, believed
when he spoke that the Zero
hour" of peace or war was four
days off.
But later information reaching
the British and French govern
ment indicated that Der Fuehrer,
impatient and angry, might send
his armies smashing across the
Czech frontier some time today.
Germany was ready to order
full mobilization, it was indicated,
even though Hitler already had

the postwar CzechoslOvak repub-

1t was understood reliably that
Poland'S terms Of settlement
would demand evacuation of Tes-
chen by Czech troops and author
tiles and occupation of the region
by Polish troops, 100000 of
whom are under arms on wartime
footing.
The new boundary, under Po-
lands proposals, would be fixed by
a mixed commission and without
the formality of any plebiscite
During yesterday, following re-
ports of clashes between Poles
and Czechs, a foreign office
spokesman said that the Polsih
army was ready to move into the
Teschen area Friday or Saturday
but that the government still hop

LEAGUE ACTS
ON ASLA'S WAR
Will Soon Authorize In
dividuaI Sanctions
Against Japs
BY WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. %. (UP)-The
League of Nations council yester-
day recognized implicitly that a
state Of war exists in the orient
and decided to authorize league
members Individually to apply
sanctions against Japan.
The decision will be embodied
in resolution to be adopted for
mally within the next few days.
Representing the outcome of a
years struggle by the Chinese,
with support Of the Soviet union,
to obtain some league action, the
decision does not mean that the
league will now take military
measures against Japan or even
attempt to apply economic and
financial sanctions collectively, as
it did against Italy.
Under the new Interpretation
Of article 16, which the British
have been advocating, each coun-
try will decide for itself how far
it can go in applying sanctions.
The immediate result will be that
the Sovicts will continue to send
arms to the Chinese while other
league members probably will re-
main aloof from the struggle.
But in the long run the deci-
sion will mean that the Soviets
have new means of pressure on
Japan, as they will have strong
moral and legal grounds to claim
aid from other league members if
they become involved in a conflict

NEGOTIATIONS NOT
CLOSED. r. r. HOLDS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
again appealed to German Chan,
ccllor Adolf Hitler to settle his
dispute with Czechoslovakia by re.
sort to reason instead Of war, and
suggested that all the nations in
volved confer on neutral ground
in an attempt to achieve peace
full solution.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not pledge
that the United States would par.
ticipate in such a conference. He
reiterated, instead, that this coun,
try has no commitments in Europe
and "will assume no obligations in
the present negotiations" His ap-
peal and conference proposal, he
said. were based on "our respon-
sibilities as a part of a world OF

In dispatching the plea, his Sec

a world war appeared imminent
and told Hitler that his threat to

it is unjustifiable."
"Present negotiations still stand

tinued if you will give the word.
Should the need for supplement-

stands in the way of widening
