must be awaited"
1t had been disclosed yesterday
that Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
and King Leopold of Belgium had
communicated to Great Britain,
Germany, France, Poland and Italy
an offer of their good offices to
aid in a settlement of the Polish
dispute
Britain, France and Poland had
ntimated their appreciation of the
offer and their willingness to CO.
operate, it was understood.
Vcelkischer Beobachter, official
Nazi party organ, had said today,
among concert of statements by
Nazi papers that Hitler wanted to

available" to the foreign press in
such circumstances by inspired
Nazi sources under official guid-
ance)
The informant said:
Efforts by both sovereigns to
preserve peace and the conscious
ness of responsibility for Europe
which these efforts reveal are ap-
preciated.
"An exchange of views which is
now taking place between Germany
and Britain proves that German
efforts run in the same direction
as the above mentioned efforts and
that Germany has taken an initia-
tive whose conclusion now depends
on the decision in London, which

territorial concessions were made in'
advance.
According to a high British
source and three diplomatic sources,
Hitlers written and oral communi-
cation to this government asked
that Poland send plenipotentiary
to Berlin Immediately to negotiate
on what the fuehrer described as
basis of equality" but which Brit
ish sources said included his demand
for cession of Polish territory.
Valves Time Limit
Hitler first asked for a British
reply in "a hours and asked that
the Polish emissary reach Berlin
by Thursday, it was reported, but
when British ambassador Sir New
lie Henderson raised that point in
talking with Hitler, the Nazi fueh-
rer waived any time limit.
The Hitler message was under
stood to have drawn an immediate
reply from Lord Halifax through
diplomatic channels that Britain
declined even to transmit to Po-
land any proposals for Polish en-
issaries to go to Berlin under such
circumstances, but the cabinet
drafted formal answer designed
to keep the exchanges going.
In authoritative sources the mes
sage from the fuehrer was described
as follows:
IA reaffirmation of friendship
between Germany and Great Brit
ain.
"A reiteration of Hitler's inten-
tion to incorporate DanZig and the
Polish corridor in the Reich.
Am expression of willingness
to accept the offer made by Britain
in an earlier message to use its good
offices with Poland
Am expression OF hope that
Poland would send a plenipotentiary
to Berlin to negotiate on a basis
of equality with the Reich
This message which Hitler had
emphasized was in no way an ulti-
matum when he had asked that
Britain reply within "a hours, was
written in a friendly, reasoning
tone, giving British sources the i'm
preston that the fuehrer was more
than ever convinced of the justice
of his aims.
Wants Silesia
Hitler did not mention in the
message his desire for return of
Silesia to Germany, but he did re-
fer to that objective in his CONVEX
sationS with the British ambassador
it was understood.

matterl
Deciding to live in Ell Centre after

a time and then turned back to-

The more she walked the more
lost she became, until she began

When she was about ready to fire
three shots in the air, she noticed
