The "Berliner Tageblatt," the first German newspaper to do so, raises
a demand for holding a plebiscite in Czecho-Slovakia. The tone of the leading article in the "Berliner Tageblatt" is character- istic of the development of the German attitude which also finds an expression in the headlines of the "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," "Terrorisation of Sudeten German Frontier Population By Czecho- Slovakian Military New Outrage Every Day."
