BERLIN, Oct. 5.-Reichsfuehrer
Hitler went in triumph today to
Warsaw, Poland's fallen capital, and
inspected the Nazi forces which ef-
tected the city's surrender.
He reviewed a parade of the VIC
torious forces Immediately after the
inspection.
First word of his activity in dis
membered Poland on the eve of his
world-awaited Reichstag speech
came in report from the Fuehrer's
field headquarters by DNB, German
official news agency.
Offlcials earlier had refused to say
whether Hitler had gone to Warsaw,
and his flag still flew over the chan
celery
Made Trip by Plane.
The Fuehrer made the trip by
airplane to Warsaw, where high
army officers and Nazis welcomed
him.
They included Col. Gen. Walther
Won Brauchitsch, commander in
chief of the Germany Army; Col.
Gen. Erhard Mich. general inspec-
tor of the air force; Col. Gen. Karl
Rudolf Gerd Won Rundstedt, east
ern commander in chief, and two
men who had leading roles in
directing the attack on Warsaw,
Col. Gen Walther Won Reichenau
and Col. Gen. Johannes Blaskowitz.
Hitler promoted Won Reichenau
and Blaskowitz to the rank of COL
onel general only last Monday.
Among those who accompanied
the Fuehrer on his triumphal visit
were Col. Gen. Wilhelm Keiter, chief
of high command of the armed
forces: Heinrich Himmler, head OF
all German police organizations;
DR.. Hans Heinrich hammers, men,
Der of the Wartime Ministerial
Council as liaison officer between
the council and Hitler and DR.. Otto

meanwhile on the possibility Hitlers
Reichstag speech tomorrow would
outline a basis on which hostilities
might be ended.
The Fuehrer was scheduled to
speak at noon 6 am, E. S. TD to
the members of his completely sub
missive Legislature. possibly to pro-
nounce some new German attitude
toward the Western powers at war
with Germany.
But what Hitler intended to say
remained a profound official secret
and in official circles it was en-
phasized that speculation on his
speech was hazardous and a dis
service to every one
Will Speak IL Hours.
The Fuehrer is scheduled to speak
for one and three-fourths hours. 1t
was stated the rough draft of the
speech had been completed, but
changes were possible up to the last
minute.
Even the informed Berlin
newspapers devoted only one SEN
tence to announcing the Reichstag
session, although they displayed the
announcement under their blackest
headlines.
Observers seeking a hint of what
German policy may be knew that in
quarters close to the foreign Office
there was dissatisfaction with the
attitude Of British Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, his
foreign secretary.
In speeches in Parliament, Mr..
Chamberlain declared Tuesday that
mere assurances from Germany"
were not enough for Britain to halt
hostilities and Lord Halifax said
yesterday there was mo more peril
Gus proceeding than to negotiate
under the threat of force"
Observers knew also that from
inspired sources have come repeated
statements that Germany is ready
Tor either peace or war" and that
the choice is up to Great Britain.
Every effort is being made to place
responsibility for the war and it's
prolongation on Britain.
The Nazis feel that with the fall
OF Warsaw, the war in the east is
finished; that war in the west never
really has started.
Ramming Order Publicized.
Although neither France nor the
French attitude toward the war was
mentioned, newspapers prominently
displayed an alleged order of the
British admiralty to British mer-
chant ships to ram every German
submarine" The papers fatty
blamed Winston Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, for the order.
That Germany was not in hurry
to start operations in the west was
indicated by this mornings high
army command communique which
told yesterdays war story in two
sentences. In the first, it said
there was only minor artillery and
scouting plane activity" In the east
1t reported continuation of the
cleansing which began yesterday in
the region of the Vist1la of shat
tered remnants of Polish troops"
