It is learned that the Polish Ambassador on Saturday made a verbal demarche to Count von Neurath, the German Foreign Minister, and com- municated Poland's views on the situation arising from the conscription law.

Sir John Simon and Mr. Eden were cordially welcomed here yesterday. Besides some cheering there were shouts of."
