ROME, Aug. 10 (Reuter).
Mr. H. R. ("Bud") Ekins, correspondent of the United Press", who was formerly in Chipa covering the Sino- Japanese hostilities, and who has lately been the U.P. cor- respondent in Rome, has been expelled from Italy. The United Press office has been closed for an indefinite period, by order of Signor Mussolini.
This action is taken, it is stated, because of a report sent out that Il Duce had had a heart attack.
Ekins is leaving Italy by noon to-morrow.

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.
GERMANY and France
According to the Domei re- port the British authorities have complied with the Japanese re- quests in toto, and, following negotiations, which at one time! assumed a delicate atmosphere, Herr von have agreed to the following points:
