The presence of Herr Himm- ler, chief of the German secret police, has tended to heighten the feeling of expectation in Prague, says the Prague cor- respondent of "The Times.”
Recent events at Klado and Nachod, where German and Czech lives
have were lost, made people feel that some change must take place soon.
A section of Czech opinion considers that the change in the Protectorate would be accom- in panied by German moves Slovakia.
Germany already has garri- sons on Slovak soil, and has been massing troops for many weeks in north-east, Moravia, near the Slovak frontier, Sei- zure of Slovakia could be car- ried out without any extensive the troop movements from
Reich.
The correspondent records the following signs that Ger- make many is intending to some move within the next few days: all locomotives at Par- dubice and Prague have been ordered to keep full steam up for the next two days, and roads from Brno to Elmutz and to Iglau are to be kept clear of civil traffic on the same days. -Reuter.
