Rome, Sept. 15.
The developments of the week-end have caused deep concern here and it is unanimously believed that war is inevitable. However, it is still hoped that Euro-
pean repercussions can be avoided.
The nation's confidence in Signor Mussolini, the Picture shows an Italien troopship tearing Noples for East Africa, bearing a huge portrait of Signov Fascist Dictator, is unwavering still.
Meanwhile, from Geneva comes the statement that
the League of Nations will face its most vital test after Gloomy View

has made a mockery of the desperate efforts of the ma- tions to draft peace proposals.

GERMANS FOLLOW PEACE PATH
NAZI DECLARATION OF POLICY
WARNING TO LITHUANIA GIVEN BY HITLER
Nuremberg, Sept. 15.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, before the greatest rally of the Nazi party ever achieved, to-night reiterated Germany's love of peace; but in the same breath de- clared that Memel had been robbed by Lithuania and that Germany must pay attention to the situation there. He appealed to the League of Nations to prevent things which might be regretted by all concerned, and the tribunes cheered with one thunderous voice.
A storm of cheering greeted Der Fuchrer as he entered the temporary Reichstag Building, which was decorated with masses of flowers and swastika flags. Thousands of red and white carnations, gladioli, ferns and shrubs adorned the building. The chairs were covered with red plush and the wooden tribunes and the gallery were smothered in red bunting The swastika was everywhere.
Two searchlights picked out the platform where the party of leaders, Herr Hitler and his chief lieutenants, sat at a long red-draped table, with two microphones facing them.
