LONDON, Sept. 4.-The British
Ministry OF Information yester-
day issued a statement on ho,o
the formal declaration OF Dar
1Das made against Germany. The
connuniQue said:
"A state of war now exists be-
tween Great Britain and Ger
many. At 11:15 this morning Mr..
Dunbar, head of the treaty de-
partment of the foreign Office,
went to the German Embassy,
where he was received by DR..
Kordt, Charge d'Affaires. Mr..
Dunbar handed to DR.. Kordt a
notification that a state of war
existed between Great Britain
and Germany as from IL o'clock,
British summer time, this morn
ing. This notification constituted
the formal declaration of war"
Ambassador Henderson
Given German Reply.
This morning, 20 minutes after
the expiration of the time limit
laid down in the British ulti-
matum to Germany, Herr Won
Ribbentrop German foreign
minister) invited Sir Neville Hen
derson British Ambassador to
call upon him and gave to him
the German reply.
This proved to be a docu-
ment of some II pages, the main
point of which was refusal by
the German government to give
any assurance about the with
drawal of troops from Poland.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The tollo,o-
ing Is the tert OF Prime Minister
Chamberlain's radio proclama-
tion yesterday that Great Britain
Is at ,0ar ,Dith Germany:
This morning the British AM
bassador in Berlin handed to the
German government q final note
stating that unless we heard from
them by IL o'clock british sum-
mer time; S am, E. S. T.) that
they were preparing at once to
withdraw their troops from Po-
land a state of war would exist
between us.
I have to tell you now that no
such undertaking has been re-
ceived and in consequence this
country is at war with Germany.
You can imagine what a bitter
blow 1t is to me that all my long
struggle to win peace has failed.
Yet l cannot believe that there
is anything more or anything
different that I could have done
that would have been more sue
cessful.
Hitler Would Not Have
Settlement That Seemed Possible.
Up to the very last 1t would
have been possible to arrange a
peaceful and honorable settle
ment between Germany and Po-
land but Hitler would not have it.
He had evidently made up his
mind to attack Poland whatever
happened and although he now
says that he put forward reason
able proposals which were re-
jected by the Poles, that is not a
true statement.
The proposals were never
shown to the Poles nor to us and
although they were announced in
the German broadcast on Thurs
day night. Hitler did not wait to
hear comment on them but
ordered his troops to cross the
Polish frontier next morning.
His action shows convincingly
that there is no chance of expect
ing that this man will ever give
up his intention of using force
to gain his will.
Hitler Can Be Stopped
Only by Force.
And he can only be stopped by
force.

two days the German Army has
been fighting in the east in order
to re-establish the security of the
Reich's territory.
Polish resistance will be broken
by our soldiers. Let England un-
derstand that today 10000 900
human beings are united in the
German Reich. They are deter
mined not to let themselves be
choked off by England.
They have not conquered by
war 100000 square kilometers
on this earth, as England has.
But they have the will to live on
land which belongs to them. And
not to allow England to take this
life from them.
Fears Social Work Model
Will Prove Contagious.
The German people know that
the British people as a whole
cannot be made responsible for
all this. It is that Jewish pluto
cratic and democratic upper
crust which in all peoples of the
world desires to see only obedient
slaves and which hates our new
Reich because it sees in it model
for social work which it fears be.
cause it might prove contagious
also in their own country.
The battle against this new ef-
fort to destroy Germany we now
are taking up. We will fight with
National Socialistic determina-
ton. British money, power and
politicians. however, will learn
what it means to want to draw
National Socialistic Germany into
war without any cause!
was aware for months that
the goal of these war agitators
was formed for long time. The
intention to attack Germany on
any favorable opportunity was
certain. Resolution, however, to
lead and repel this battle was
even more certain!
Germany Will Never
Again Capitulate.
Germany will never again
capitulate! Life under a second
and even worse dictate of Ver-
sallles has no sense. We have
never been slave people, and
never want to be in the future.
Whatever sacrifices Germany
had to make in the past for con-
tinuance of our people and our
Reich, they ought not to have
been greater than those which We
are ready to undertake today.
This resolution is inexorable.
1t stipulates, therefore. thorough
going measures. 1t compels above
all this rule on us: When a SOL
dier fights on the front, no one
should profit through war. When
soldier falls on the front, no
one at home should avoid his
duty.
AS long as the German people
through its history was united. 1t
was never conquered Only the
disunity of 1918 led to the COL
lapse. Whoever sins against
our unanimity and unity must
expect nothing else than that he
will be annihilated as an enemy
of the nation.
If our people in such a man.
ner fulfills its highest duty, then
the Lord God, who always has
given his grace to him who was
determined to help himself, will
also stand by us.

fulfilment of our obligations
going to the aid OF Poland, who
is so bravely resisting this wicked
and unprovoked attack on her
people.
We have clear conscience.
We have done all that any
country could do to establish
peace. But a situation in which
no word given by Germany's
ruler could be trusted and no
people or country could feel itself
safe has become intolerable.
And now we have resolved to
finish 1t. I know you will all
play your part with calm courage.
At such a moment as this the
assurances Of support we have
received from the empire are a
source of profound encourage
ment to us.
When I have finished speaking
certain detailed announcements
will be made on behalf of the
government.
These will need your close at
tention.
Plans Made to Garry on
Nations Work During Stress.
The government has made
plans under which it will be pos
sible to carry on the work of the
nation in the days of stress and
strain which may be ahead of us.
These plans need your help.
You may be taking your part in
the fighting services or as a VOL
unteer in one of the branches of
civil defense. If so you will re-
port for duty in accordance with
the instructions you receive.
You may be engaged in work
essential to the prosecution of
the war, for maintenance of the
life of people. in factories, in
transport and public utility con-
Germs and in the supply of the
other necessaries of life.
If so, it is of vital Importance
that you should carry on with
your job.
Now may God bless you all and
may he defend the right. For
it is evil things that we shall be
fighting, against brute force, bad
faith, injustice, oppression and
persecution And against them
1 am certain that right will pre-
vail.

the British government by Mr..
King Hall-an intention to de-
stroy the German people even

BERLIN, Sept. 4.-Follo1Ding Is
the tert of Adolf Hitler's appeal
to the German people yesterday:
For centuries England has pur-
sued her aim to make European
peoples defenseless in the face Of
the British policy of world con-
quest by proclaiming a balance
Of powers according to which
England claimed the right to
attack and destroy on threadbare
pretext the European states
which from time to time appeared
most dangerous.
Thus it once combatted Span
ish world power, later Holland,
then the French and. since 1871,
Germany. We ourselves were
witnesses to England's encircle-
ment fight against the Germany
of pre-wartime.
Just as the German Reich un-
der National Socialist leadership
began to recover from the terrible
effects of the Versailles dictate
and threatened to overcome the
crisis, British encirclement imme-
diately set in again.
British war agitators before
the World War lied that their
battle concerned only the house
Of Hohenzollerns of German mill
tarism, that they had no designs
on German colonies, that they
did not intend to take our COM
mercial fleet from us, and then
they forced the German people
under the Versailles dictate.
Undertook to Mobilize
German Resistance.
Faithful fulfillment of this
dictate would have exterminated
sooner or later 100000 Ger
mans I undertook to mobilize
the resistance of the German
nation against that and again to
guarantee German people work
and bread.
However. in proportion as the
peaceful revision of the Versailles
dictate of force appeared to sue
ceed and the German people
again began to live, the new
English encirclement policy be-
gan. The same war agitators as
before 1914 went to work.
1nnumerable times I have Of
fered England and the English
people agreement and the friend
ship of the German people. My
entire policy was built up on the
thought of this understanding.
I was constantly repulsed by
hypocritical declarations. Always
new pretexts were sought to
cramp the German space of living
Uebensraum) and there were
attempts, although we never
threatened British interests. to
make our life difficult and even
throttle it.
England induced Poland to
that attitude, which made peace
full understanding impossible.
Through its guarantee declara-
ton it gave the Polish govern
ment the prospect of provoking
Germany without any danger
more, to allow it to attack.
British Government Mistaken
About the Germany of 1889.
The British government, how
ever, is mistaken about one thing;
the Germany of 1899 is no longer
the Germany Of 1914, and the
Chancellor of the present German
Reich no longer is Bethmann
Hollweg.
I have already announced in
my speeches at Saarbruecken
and at Wilhelmshaven that we
would defend ourselves against
the British encirclement policy.
Above all, left no doubt that de-
spite all patience and forebear-
ance, the Polish attacks against
Germans, as we'll as against the
Free City of Danzig, must come
to an end.
Strengthened through the Brit
ish guarantee declaration and
through the assertions of British
war agitators, Poland thought it
could disregard this warning. For

PARIS. Sept. 4.-Tert OF Pre-
mier Ddladter's radio speech to
the people yesterday:
Frenchmen and Frenchwomen:
Since dawn September Poland
has been the victim Of one of the
most brutal and most cynical
aggressions. Her frontiers have
been violated. Her cities have
been bombarded. Her army re-
sists heroically against the in
vader. Responsibility for blood
shed rests entirely on the Hitler
government.
Future peace was in Hitler's
hands; he chose war. France
and England multiplied their

sent 10 fOlanu.
Moved by the suffering of the
German people who were being
tortured and inhumanly treated
by the Polish authorities, the
German government, which for
five months had been looking on
patiently without taking any ag-
gressive action against Poland,
has only addressed this morning
a warning to the Polish govern
ment that these conditions would
be unbearable in the long run.
The German government also
made it plain that it will take
measures of self defense in case
other help was not granted to the
German population.
All these facts were we'll
known to the British government.
1t would have been easy for them
to exercise a strong influence in
Warsaw and to exhort the rulers
that they should apply principles
of justice and humanity, and
also to observe the stipulations
they had entered into. The
British government has not done
so. On the contrary. by con-
stantly insisting on the obliga-
tions that she come to the rescue
of Poland under all circum-
stances, the British government
has only encouraged the Polish
government to continue in the
criminal attitude which was en-
dangering the peoples of Europe.
The British government could
have saved the peace of Europe.
but it has refused the proposals
of Mussolini. although the Ger
man Reichs government had
stated their willingness to con-
slider these proposals. The Brit
ish government, therefore, is re-
sponsible for all the suffering
and all the unhappiness which
now will come over so many
nations.
Civil War Existed at
Germanys Eastern Border.
Fourth: After all the attempts
to bring about peaceful solu-
ton and to reach an agreement
accordingly, after all these efforts
had been made impossible by the
lntransigeance of the Polish gov
ernment which was being backed
up by England, and, after the
conditions similar to civil war
which had persisted for a num-
ber of months at the eastern
border of Germany without the
British government raising any
objections whatsoever, and after
these conditions had grown to a
point where they amounted to
overt attacks on German terri
tory, the German government
decided that it was unbearable
for a major power to tolerate the
continuance of these conditions
and the menace which was COM
ing from outside. Also, it was
necessary in the interest of the
domestic peace of the German
people to bring an end to these
conditions.
After the governments of the
democratic countries had sabo-
tagged all the possibilities of re-
vision which still could have
been applied to secure the peace
and tranquility and the honor
OF the German Reich, the Ger
man government decided that
Poland's attacks would have to be
counteracted by similar meas
ures. The German government
is not willing to tolerate condi-
tions in order to make 1t pos
slble for Great Britain to ex-
ecute her obligations to Poland.
The German government is not
willing to tolerate conditions
similar to those now existing in
Palestine, which is a British pro-
tectorate.
Unwilling to Suffer
Ill Treatment by Poles.
Particularly, and above all. the
German people are not willing to
continue to be i'll treated by the
Poles.

Forest
Seedlings Set In
State In Decade

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. l.
Nearly two million forest seedlings
were planted in North Carolina be-
tween 1926 and 1888 as the result of
extension work, it is brought out in
q book just published by the APP
palachian Section, Society of Amer
lean Foresters. The 287-page book is
titled "a Guide to Forestry Activities
IN North Carolina, South Carolina
and Tennessee"
The section devoted to a discussion
of forestry work by the State College
Extension Service traces the work
from its beginning in 1913 until the
present time. 1t shows, for instance.
that r. w. Graeber, the extension
forester, influenced the planting of
$500 seedlings in 1929, but in 1887 this
total had been raised to 676,4OO for
the year. Likewise, there were 6,447
seedlings of black walnut planted in
1920 and 1885 in 1887. ~
Graebcrs services as extension for
ester began December 1, 1925, and he
is. given wide recognition in the book
for his work. He and his assistant
conducted 49, demonstrations and
held 188 other meetings in 1887. with
a!total attendance of 27.842.
The forestry guide also outlines 9TH
er forestry work in this State, and
South Carolina and Tennessee. This
includes the division of forestry of

since 1929. The Holman, Mclean. Hill
Poole Woods and Prison Farm for
