EOR a reporter who genuinely

1t Is embarrassing to be able to
offer no satisfactory explanation
for this silly snobbishness on
the part Of some Of our so

could give was that even If you

probably be bored anyway-for
there is no entertainment nor is
the food superior to that served
in restaurants which fling their
doors wide open-and make
special efforts to entice patron

Hitler Ready To Play His Soviet
 Ace TrumpCard

UNDATED. Aug. 31, - Adolph Hitler was reported ready to play his Russian trump card if the Poles are convinced to come to Berlin to negotiate. A council Tor from the Russian Embassy called at the Nazi foreign office.
 The report spread that unless Poland bows to the present pres sure, Hitler intends to announce some degree of Soviet military cooperation.
 Should Hitler win Stalin over to actively assisting Germany in its military plans, Poland will be in highly precarious posi- tion.
 The Germans interpreted fur ther Polish mobilization orders as an answer against negotiation efforts, while informed quarters expressed astonishment over the Polish move.
 The hope of peace still surviv- ed even while main European powers moved steadily closer to full wartime footings, and took new emergency measures to pro tect cities and people from air raids.
