HITLER'S CLASH WITH SERVICE CHIEFS

French Paper's Report

Paris, Mar. 6.

What purport to be decalls of Herr Hitler's recent talk with the heads of the German, arthy, navy and ar torce, are given by the "Excelsior" and prominently re- produced in other papers.

02-

According LO the "Excelsior":" informant, who is said to be a German, Gen. von Pritsch, chief of General Staff "protested" against the interview given by Herr Hitler to the "Paris Sol," ap- pealing for Franco-German operation. "If it was a ruse," the General is said to have cried, "it was unworthy of our Leader, and if it was a faithful expression of his thoughts the policy to which we are being committed is a dan- ger to Germany."

Gen. Fritsch is said then to have demanded the re-garrisoning of

the de-militarised Rhine zone, urg- ing, that this should have been done long ago.

In the end Herr Hitler is said to "have retreated from his positiod and made substantial concessions to the Generals.”.
