LONDON, Sept. 24-Csechoslovakia
was cut OF from telephone and cable
communication today as the war crisis
jammed the vast European commune
cation network almost to the breaking
point.
Gables to Prague have been unre-
liable, slow and under strict censor
ship all week, and just before mid
night telephone lines were broken after
the Czech general mobilization order
was issued. There was no indication
when they would be restored.
The London Prague telephone line
has been overloaded several weeks
with ofhcial calls. resulting in infre-
quent direct connections for ordinary
calls.
The Associated Press was forced to
telephone from London to Berlin or
London to Budapest for relay to
Prague in 80 per cent Of the cases.
Until last night it was sometimes
possible to route q call from London
via Amsterdam and Berlin to Prague.
That was impossible today.
Censorship was imposed in . curious
manner. There was no way Of know
ing when censors were on the tele-
phone lines or In which capital they
were listening
Conversations in English were broken
freuuertk or interrupted when certain
words II mobilization" 'sudetens,"
"Eazis" Efortin cations" were spoken.

There was not the slightest Official

Hitler had placed a time limit on the;
acceptance Of his position WAS left to
the imagination of the world. 4.
(The French news agency, Havax,
reported the new demands included
the immediate handing over to Ger

slovakia's Sudeten area without any
German promises In return.)
In official but usually we'll informed

GODEsBERG, Germany, Sept. "a
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
returned home today from talks with
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, whose new

'Havas French news agency re-
ported to Paris from Godesberg
that In German circles 1t was un-

the Czechoslovak state.
hitler was said to have refused
to give the British Premier any
promise Of peaceful solution If the
Sudeten area were not evacuated
within the prescribed 10 days.
Eight hours earlier, Mr.. Chamber
lain, on his return from the ANAL talk
with Hitler, announced he had agreed
to place the memorandum before
Czechoslovak ofhcials, just as he put
up to Prague the problem of finding
way to satisfy German demands and
preserve European peace
Mr.. Chamberlain plainly showed the
strain OF the last two days as he stood
in the bright mountain sunshine in
front Of his hotel before the departure
and told a small crowd he was Eek
ceedingly grateful" for his welcome.
In q statement, the Prime Minister
said
The communique issued last night
was, Of course, an agreed communique.
Il am not in position now to add
to 1t. I am returning to London
where I shall at once consult with my
colleagues.

Refugees Pour Into Prague.
Large red crosses were painted on
hospital roofs. Refugees streamed into
Prague from the Sudeten German re-
gions. Many Jews liQuidated businesses
here and hurried to get out OF the
country.
Martial law was invoked in Kaplitz,
where tension mounted following the
killing OF an officer in disorders at
nearby Brannau. Seventeen cities are
now under military control.
Men and officers on active duty be-
fore the mobilization order were esti-
mated at $4,000. All second-line re.
serve ofncers were among those sum-
moned. First reserves, aged % to 40,
HAD to report within six hours to their
posts. Barracks were crowded.
A plane was chartered to take
British subjects to Poland today.
The requisitioning OF private planes,
automobiles, horses and wagons for
military use was authorized in the
mobilization order, which was broad
cast in Czech, Slovak, German, Hun
garian, Ruthenian and Polish.
All civil aviation was halted. Gen.

yesterday that Russia would cancel
