Reaffirms Its Deter- mination To Resist “Any Act Of Ag- gression.”

WARSAW, Aug. 29-Polish auth- orities hinted tonight at the pos- sibility uf general mobilization as this country reaffirmed its de- bernnnation to resist “any act of agyression" with all the means at its command.

It was stated that the Polish Government has information that "the mobilization and conccntra- tion" of German troops is now completed and that this presents “too serious a situation to remain iviithcut consequences."

so far only partial morblllzablofl has been effected although Po- land is estimated now to have well OVCI‘ 1.000.000 men under arms.

Al. the same time, it was re- vealed in Warsaw that Poland has protested to the Bratislava Gov- ernment against the German mili- tary cccupation of Slo\'nkia_ coh- slderefi here as like‘v to constitute a direct threat to Polish indepen- dence

A :ore_l n office spokesman lo- nlgnt suit that “Poland. like Bri- tain and France, is rc:id;; for peacciiiil settlement. but any aug- Kl‘e\‘i£lfr’.l will resisted by all possible means."

It was officially stated that the 31‘€5i3lli, situation must be consid- ered "as very grave."

latu"*deve1opmciit was the aniiciinccd arrest of two German Consuls. one at I/wow in south- east Poland and the other iTesohcn) in Poland. Both were brought to

It was officially stated that this was in retaliation for the “treat- ment izlven the Polish consul at Marieiiwerder in East Prussia,"

It was charized here that Ger- man police occupied the Polish Consul's office there for three days and then removed him to Koenlg.:- berg with his entire staff.
