No one in a responsible position would any the door has been completely closed to helpful negotiations nor precisely what Germany would consider adequate adjustment. But it was obvious that the reich was concerned by reports of intensive military preparations in Yugoslavia. German press dispatches said the Serb mobilizations was in fuK swing. Germany also was seriously and publicly taking account of the in- crcasinK force of British troops in Greece and their occupation of positions up the Yugoslav border.

Presx Accuses Contemplation of these troops in a Balkan position which the Axis has proclaimed its own exclusive sphere of influence recalled the oft-repeated German comment that the enemy would be struck wherever he appears. The German pre.s.-; began tonight to accuse Yugoslavia of regressive designs on Austria. Observers remarked on the similarity of the situation to the dark- days of Polish crisis of summer, 1930. Then, Germany was astir with stories that certain Polish generals were talking about Polish occupation of East Prussia.

Fnr one thing, it is understood here that German nationals and diplomatic representatives are departing for home with a greater urgency than appears to be impelling the Italians.
