German authorities announced,
however, that the Speech's con-

wards war or definitely away
from it it this year.
August 9th is named by soine
as the danger point" in the near
future picture. Special demons
tfations are planned through out
Germany on that day and it Is
thought that if any aggression
aimed at Poland is to come, that
the start will come then. At that
time, Hitler will have an armed
force upwards of two million
troops, as all classes are being
called to the colors in special pro-
