Sir Nevile Henderson, Britain's Ambassador to Germany. flew back to Berlin today. i-ie was re- ported unofficially to be carrying a. secret communication to the German Government. ' _Some diplomatic quarters be- lieved he carried a personal mess- luze from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to Hitler, possibly embracing a plea for peace.

It ivas generally believed in Bri- tain that with Hitler rests the final decision whether the present crisis, gravest since i914, will lead to another major war.

Diplomats Active

The parade of foreign diplomats to the Foreign Office showed the imwity with which all nations con- sidered the situation.

These sources believe that but for Hitler's pressure they would ne- gotiate on the basis of Czech pro-

(By Jiielvln K. White-leather, AI- sociatcd Press Foreign Staff) BERLIN, Aug. fad-Great. Bri-

tain's Ambassador, Sir Nevlie Illn-

derson, reached Germany by plane tonight bearing what Nazi rials considered an important com- municatlon from the British Gov- ernment concerning central Eur- opean war tension.

Fresh from long consultations with the British Cabinet and highest British officials. Sir Nevlle was expected to see Foreign Min- ister Joachim Von Ribbentrop

a fortifications inspection tour five

days ago. _ While German officials awaited

Sir Nevlie‘s report on his hurried trip to London, it was disclosed that Germany's current naval ex- ercises in the North Sea are far more inclusive than was at first announced.

Large Scale Manoeuvres

Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Gocrlngs mouthpiece, the Nation- al Zciiung, termed the exercises the biggest since the Great War in view of the fact the 26.000—t0n battleship Gneisenau is pnrtici - ting along with the 10.000 pocket-battleships Admiral Graf Spec. Deutschland and Admiral Scheer.

Sixty units participating in the squadron games will assemble for even bigger manoeuvres in e first part. of September.

been orcicrcd out for Autumn man- oeuvres in the North Sea to start Sept 5. the day the Nazi party congress opens at Nuremberg. Ad- miralty officials assert the man- oeuvres are “routine.") Extensive German army man- oeuvres are in progress throughout the Reich to continue for anotfner niontli, involving apparently all Germany's 36 divisions of approx- inlnlely 25,000 men each. or s. total of 900.000, in addition to an esti- malecl 500 000 reserves.
