(Continued from Page One )
three attacks on frontier customs
houses had been made by bands of
men who crossed the boundary from
Germany, armed with machine-guns,
hand grenades and pistols. Two
Ceechoslovak officers were reported
wounded.
Each Blames Other
German reports, on the other hand,
charged Czechoslovaks had been the
aggressors In several border clashes.
The official German news agency,
DNB, said 27 German frontier guards
were wounded In one of the clashes
and reported there was another en
gagement between Czechoslovak fron
tier detachments and deserting Sude
ten Germans.
Official circles In Berlin declared
if the Czechoslovak government could
not control Its border forces Ger
many might regard the Incidents as
"of the same nature as a cause for
war." They said "the most severe
representations" would be made to
Prague If details of the reports
proved to be true.
Great Britain was said to have
decided she would not fight under
any circumstances and France as
serted she would not fight without
Britain's support.
Up to People
The British prime minister. Ne
ville Chamberlain, was expected to
take his "expedient surrender" back
to Hitler tomorrow, but there were
Indications he would do so without
the full support of his people. Op
position arguments were that he
was surrendering another country's
territory for a temporary peace.
In Paris division of opinion became
more acute. Many observers said that
If Czechoslovakia decided to fight
the pressure of public opinion might
force France to go to her aid de
spite the government's declaration
that no military aid would be given.
Further complications were In
jected Into the situation by. publi
cation of a communique in Warsaw
saying Polish ambassadors had been
Instructed to present the Polish atti
tude on the Czechoslovak, problem
to the governments in Rome. Paris,
London and .Berlin. Informed circles
understood Poland would insist upon
return to Poland of Czechoslovak ter
ritory with a predominant Polish
population.
