Hitler made a rapid L tion of forfifications near the German end of the Kehl Inter- ational Bridge. Some reports said Hitler was on his’ way to inspect other frontier forts. (By Associated Press) Great Britain’s Ambassador to Germany today personally laid be- fore the heads of his government in London his views on Germany's reaction to the British week-end warning that Berlin take no step that might drag Europe into war That reaction will be resentful | is expected and London’s next move will be watched. The warning was continued in a speech made by Sir John Simon over the week-end. Military Aid Sir Neville Henerson is convinced that Hitler is preparing to give military aid to the autonomy de- mand of the German Sudetens in Czechoslovakia. The British Cabinet is meeting tomorrow and it is unofficially that the Cabinet will authorize a still more vigorous warning to Ger- many. In some quarters it is ex- pressed that the Cabinet will make it plain that Great Britain will fight in the event of war in Central Europe. Complications Complicating the situation are military maneuvers of three great powers most closely involved, Ger- many, Great Britain and France. Germany is virtually on a war footing with 1,000,000 men under arms in gigantic maneuvers. France has moved her forces to the German and Italian borders and Great Britain has called navy | vessels to North Sea station for routine exercises and the home army has been ordered into war games in half a dozen sectors. o+ L BASEBALL TODAY | The following are scores of base- ball games played this afternoon in the two major leagues as received up to 1:30 o'clock: National League Brooklyn 1; Pittsburgh 10.
