POLAND'S ANNUAL HOLIDAY glorifying the army yesterday was given special significance this year by the international situation.

DR. BURCKHARDT'S REPORT
London, To-day. Professor Burckhardt has now in- formed the British Government of the general trend of his talk with Herr Hitler, but the matter. is being treat- ed as confidential.
It is
authoritatively stated that Professor Burckhardt did not carry any peace plan to Berchtesgaden, and he did not convey any message on behalf of the British Government.
If Dr. Burckhardt måde any refer ence whatever to the policy of the British Government it could have been no more than a reference to the oft-repeated official declaration that any attempt to change the status of Danzig by force would be resisted by Britain.
Nothing is known of any intention by Dr. Burckhardt to visit London. Reuter.
