WILL MARCH TODAY? (Havas News Agency said it was reported warning had been served on Sir Horace Wilson, Mr. Cham- berlain's special emissary, that; Ger. many would wait only until Wed- nesday afternoon for satisfaction from Czechoslovakia.

(Havas said belief the "threat" was a harbinger of, general Nazi mobilization was strengthened by the long cavalcade of motorized military detachments that passed through Berlin from the north and west. for five hours Tuesday after- noon and evening.

(The troops wore no regimental insignia on helmets or collars, I-lavas added. The numbers on their caps were hidden. In the parade could be seen light and heavy an- tt-alrcraft guns. large and small tanks, machine guns, motorized radio field equipment a11d armored CBTS.)

To reports that the Fuehrer had extended the deadline, a govern- ment spokesman said:

“That 1s pure speculation. Cer- tainly we have received no such word from the Puehrer who alone would know."

Hitler, in a long message to Pres- ident Roosevelt, answering an ap- penl for continued ne otlattons. de- clared that the uest on of war or peace rested soley with Prague.

From the nature of the note to Roosevelt and Htleris speech last night in which the Fuehrer gave no definite indication of what he would do to enforce his demands, the impression prevailed that he was leaving the door open to the negotiation method of acquiring Sudetenland.
