SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
LONDON, Aug. 10 (UP).-Warnings and counter-warnings were a feature of diplomatic activity in Europe to-day, as the impression grew in British
and Polish circles that the signal for over- whelming German pressure against Poland may be Hitler's speech, at Nuremberg on August 27.
Following a four day visit to Warsaw, the Polish Ambassador to London, Count Raczysnki, who returned to London to-day, has informed the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, that Poland is gravely concerned at Germany's increasingly threatening attitude.
WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE
The Ambassador stressed the importance of the fact that Germany's rapidly expanding military preparations are within easy striking distance of Poland.
Two million German troops will be mobilised by August 25, when Germany will celebrate Hindenburg's famous victory against the Russians at Tannenberg. The celebrations will culminate in Hitler's speech two days later.
It is understood that the British delegates have intimated GERMANY AND FRANCE their desire to continue negotia- tions on the Tientsin dispute in Tokyo..
It is learned from most reliable sources that Germany has made a bid for French neutrality.
