BRITAIN URGES QUICK REPLY TO NEUTRALITY PROPOSALS

Paris, Jan. 5.

French feeling has been aroused to the point where open intervention in the Spanish war has become probable. To-day, dele- gates of the building workers' organisations voted to despatch detachments of volunteers to Spain to assist the Leftists and simultaneously demanded that the Government remove the embargo on the export of war materials.

The press, meanwhile, commenced to take an anxious interest in the German troops' activities, on the Nationalist side. Le Petit Journal head-lined its civil war story with: "Reichwehr,.take three villages in Majadahonda Sector."

Le Petit Parisien, in a despatch from Berne, asserts that "the Deutschland Division," composed of picked Nazi Storm Troopers commanded by German Army officers, participated in Monday's fighting in the Madrid area. It declares two more such divisions are now mobilised in Germany and are preparing to proceed to the Spanish. front.

L'Oeuvre, the Communist organ, expresses the fear that Germany will despatch at least 100,000 fighting men to Spain, forming "the Pyrenees Front" on France's Spanish frontier.-United Press.
