BERLIN, Aug. 25 (Reuter).—Herr Hitler is at work here putting the final touches, and recasting in the light of the latest developments, his speech for Tannenberg on Sunday.
Even more than usual secrecy is maintained about its contents, and even more than the usual number of rumours are current.
The largest school of thought here believes that the Fuehrer will state his case on Sunday and act on Monday.
Some even suggest that he will produce Rhineland tactics and tell the world that the Ger- | man army is already on the march.
A small minority think that be will merely issue an ultimatum, or set proposals, and then clear the mutter up at the Party Congress.
