The hour OF decisive combat fol
the future OF the German nation
now Is at hand.
For three centuries II has beer
the goal OF the British and French
governments 10 prevent every reaj
consolidation Of Europe, but above
all to keep Germany weak and pow
erless.
To this end alone France two cen
turtles ago declared war on Ger
many 81 times.
For decades, however, 1t also has
been the goal Of the British "world
rulers" to prevent Germany from
unity under all circumstances, u
deny the reich Of every possession
necessary for the maintenance Of q
nation Of 100000 people.
Britain and France followed
through this policy Of theirs with
out worrying about the regime
which then powered Germany. What
they wanted TO hit was always the
German people.
Their responsible leaders today
admit this quite openly. Germany
Is TO be defeated and divided into
number Of small states. Then
the reich will lose Its political might
and Herewith the possibility OF Sc
curing to the German people the
right Of life upon earth.
OF these grounds they repulsed all
my peace attempts and on Septem-
Der 3 Of last year declared war
The German people have no hate OF
enmity toward the British and
French people. To-day however, the
paramount question before the Ger
man people is whether 1t will live
or be submerged,
In O few weeks our brave soldiers
overthrow the Polish opponents sent
against us by Britain and France
and thereby checked danger from
the north
Since April 0 Germany also nip
ped this attempt in the bud.
Now what we for many months
saw before us as O threatening dam
ger occurred.
Britain and France, attempting
under the cover Of q gigantic feint
In southeastern Europe, the thrust
to the Ruhr area, Oster, Holland
and Belgium.
Soldiers of the western front:
Herewith, your hour has now ar
rived.
The battle beginning today will
decide the fate OF the German ma
ton for the next 1000 years.
DO your duty.
The German people sends itS
words Of blessing with you.
ADOLF HITLER.
Ribbentrop said that yesterday
the reich government learned that
England and France had notified
Belgium and Holland that allied
troops would land for an immediate
attack on the Ruhr. The fuehrer
did not intend TO have the RUIZ
ruined or occupied, therefore he de-
cided TO take both countries under
his protection.
The high command issued q spe-
cial report saying that on the basis
OF available information and air re
connaissance, II has been established
that the allied left wing now stands
ready for an attack through Belgian
territory, with motorized, mechan-
lied, infantry. tank, and cavalry d.
visions concentrated on the Belgian
frontier.
II said that Belgian allied cooper.
alton extended TO air and sea opera
tons and that "in the course OF her
preparations for war Oh Germany
Belgium Extensively favored Hol-
land.

ITALY STILL OUT

Rome, May 10-(UP)-Hans Won
MacKensen, German ambassador
called on Premier Benito Mussolini
early today to advise him of the
German move against the Nethers-
lands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
He delivered a communication
presumably from Adolf Hitler. II
was not believed here that the COM
munication called on Italy 10 enter
the war now at the side of Ger
many.
There was the greatest excitement
throughout Italy at the news of the
new German move. The Italian ra-
dio broacast reports OF developments
and special newspaper editions were
rushed to the streets.
Opinion was general that the de-
velopments have brought Italy closer
