baize table of the international
conference" type which Hitler has
always loathed.
There was no one at Godesberg
today, either British, German or
anything else, ready to hazard a
guess as to the outcome of the
conference. The Germans had
shock at the outset-telegramS
from London quoting Earl Winter
ton of the British cabinet as say
ing that Great Britain does not
favor the Hungarian and Polish
demands for annexation of their
minority territories in Czecho-
slovakia.
Hitler Guards VieWs
Hitler has not yet spoken his
own mind on the Hungarian and
Polish aspirations in Central
Europe's once powerful and now
macerated little democracy. But
his aides have insisted from the
outset that Czechoslovakia was
going to be carved up.
Chamberlain, on the other hand,
was understood to be carrying
to Hitler a long list of British
and French demands for German
concessions in exchange for their
outright gift to Berlin of the
6udetenland. hese we're said to
include German demobilization of
reservists.
Chamberlain's first task. natu-
rally, was to inform the Fuehrer
officially that Czechoslovakia had
finally yielded to persuasion, cajol-
cry and outright threats and had
accepted the as yet unpublished
Anglo-French plan for satisfying
its minorities.
No Aides Present
Except for interpI cers, Hitler
and Chamberlain talked alone.

Minister was in formal attire.

dispensable foundation to Euro
pean peace.
Such a peace is what I am
aiming at. hope this journey
may open the way to get it,"
1t was learned that Chamberlain
was determined to resist to the
utmost any demands by Hitler re-
garding other minorities in Czecho-
sloVakia, such as the Hungarians
or Poles.
TO STAND FIRM
If Hitler increases his demands
for self-determination of tie other
Czech minorities, it was stated,
Chamberlain will bluntly inform
him that Britain will go no
further"
By this, Chamberlain will mean
the efforts such as those Britain
and France made to bring about
the Czech governments capitula-
ton will not be continued as lar
as London is concerned.
Chamberlain was prepared to
demand a 10-year guarantee OF
European peace as the price Hitler
must pay for acquisition Of Ger
man areas of the Sudetenland.
Other Issues
In addition the Prime Minister
also will seek an all-around set
tlement of problems which have
kept Europe teetering on the brink
of war for the past three years.
Such a settlement would include
Spain's civil war and the question
of Germany's former colonies.
In this connection, officials here
were worried over diplomatic re
ports and kumors that Premier
Mussolini is now planning more
decisive intervention in the Span
iSh enthusiastically with Hit
ler'S support.
Attitude Stiffens
It was believed that Chamber
lain's attitude toward Hitler has
stiffened considerably as result
of the increasing antagonism to-
ward him displayed by the British
public, which still hotly reSents the
Czech surrender, and the Anglo
French part in it, as peace with
out honor"
Before departing, chamberlain
told his cabinet that revision Of
the Czech frontier must form a
part of a revision of the Treaty
of Versailles, with adequate guar
antees for building a new founda-
ton for European security.

FILLED AT LAST.
Army Air Corps Base
Trouble Whipped

Working in double shifts from
dawn until dusk for more than
seven weeks, WPA workers at
Boiling Field have waged sue
cessful battle against quicksand
and bog which threatened to ruin
an important project at the Army
Air Corps base.
The trouble area. covering
more than five acres, is situated
in the southwest corner of the air
field, where WPA workers are
engaged in grading operations
and in laying out a large yacht
basin and seaplane moorage.
MAJOR PROBLEM
In overcoming a major cngin-
eering problem, brought about by
the queer pranks of the quicksand
and bog, WPA workers have
dumped more than 10000 cubic
yards of gravel. clay and earth
in bringing the area to grade.
In some instances large areas
would sink from between two to
six feet over night as a result of
the action Of the quicksand. The
underground action of nature
also caused the graded area to
crack wide open and to buckle.
TRAIL OF TRUCKS
Only by laying alternate layers
of rock and gravel, clay and dirt
could a grade be maintained.
Trucks in never ending lines
dropped thousands of cubic yards
of dirt into the fill and today
WPA engineers admitted their
fight against the unforeseen diff
culties had been won.

Md, Sept. 16.-While European
armies faced each other today,

Machine guns were set up to cover
points of attack, while the power
full little 37mm guns. designed to
halt the tanks, were emplaced.
Field artillery, cavalry. engl-

Opposing them, and swinging

Outnumbered, the invading
