Tense Day

Re-defining of the German posi- tion came at the end of another tense day of waiting durlng- which diplomats and common people many times asked themselves whether. after all, it would be pos- sible to maintain peace, now that war preparations have been made and such strong positions taken by either side.

Food carclscame into use for tho first time in the Reich today and housewives rushed to buy all they could of materials not yet ration- ed. ‘ Families made bargains with each other for exchanging foods awarding to their individual tast- es. Grownups sacrificed their own long-estslrished food eating habits in favor of their children.

An appeal was issued to parents whoa c-children have been helping with the harvest to pennii. them to stay on farms to assist in potato and turnip gathering. The appeal said that. many parents were cull- ing their children back because of the war fears. . .

Only 34 railway trains left the capital today compared with the hundreds that customarily depart.

Official Silence Maintained Over Latest Message To Hitler——

Believed Aimed To End Uncertainties

l.0..'l)0N~ Aug. 29-(Tuesday)-—(CP)-—Greai Brtain'3 "showdown” message to Fuehrer Hitler was said auth- oritatively today to contain a flat warning that a Ger- man threat to Polish independence would find Greziil Britain and France “fighting from the first day on the side of Poland.”

Strictest silence was maintained about other angles of the communication handed the German leader in Ber- lin last night by the British Ambassador, Sir Nevlle Hen- derson.

Its general tone was described in usuully reliable quarters, however, as aimed at putting a definite end to European uncertainties-—preferably by negotiation, but by war if Hitler should choose that course.

The British Government’s message was drafted in its final form at a 50-minute cabinet meeting and was later flown to Berlin by Sir Nevile Henderson. the Ambassador to Germany.
