Worried Eur-Sp? Asks “What Next?” As Nazi Frontiers Are Pushed Southeastward.

(By Lynn l-leinzerling, Associated Press Foreign Staff)

BERLIN, March l5—(CP)—Chancellor Hitler plant- ed the German flag on the ancient lands of the Bohem- ions and Moravians today, setting Germany again on the eastward course of Empire.

A worried Europe asked “what next?”

The Fuehrer himself stepped over the former border of shattered Czecho~Slovakia into Bohemia during a snowstorm late today and went to Prague. His grey-clad soldiers already had taken over methodically the rem- nants of the little Republic born of the Great War and had entered newly independent Slovakia.

In Prague a sullen Czech population had hissed, booed or watched silently and despondently as the German army, formally occupied their once proud capital and planted machine guns in the streets.

Bohemia and Moravia are embraced in the Reich's borders and under control of the German army.
