ECSTATIC SPEECH

Vienna, Mar. 14. Garrisons at Linz, Innsbruck and other towns, paraded to-day and took the oath of allegiance to Herr Hitler who arrived in Vienna just before 5 o'clock. The Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna ordered the ringing of all 1,000,000 church Lells, while over people lined the streets.

Herr Hitler was greeted with un- ceasing cheers as he appeared on the balcony of the Hotel Imperial. In a brief speech from the balcony, Herr Hitler said a great and historical turning point had been vouchsafed the Greman people.

"It is not the 2,000,000 in this city alone, but the 65,000,000 of our people In the Reich who are with us to-day. I am moved and overwhelmed as are of you who live in the same faith. Whatever

and that Dr. Schuschnigg must re- sign in order to be replaced by Dr. Seyss-Inquart. It appeared that Dr. Schuschnigg was given until 4.30 p.m. in which to reply, and that he was informed that if the reply was un- satisfactory, German. troops would be ordered to move at 5 pm

show This fact seemed to Germany was behind the ultimatum (Cheers).

Yielded To Threats

that

Later in the day a fresh ultimatum which appeared to be brought from Germany by plane, demanded the resignation of the Chancellor and his replacement by Dr. Seyss-Inquart, the formation of a new Cabinet, two- thirds of which should be National- Socialists, the re-admittance of the Austrian Legian, and the latal re- admission of the Nazi Party.

Chanceller later

The Austrlan Announced by wireless, that in view of the German threatened Invasion, he had yielded to avoid. shedding German blood, and Austrian troops had been Instructed to offer no resistance if and when the German troops crossed the frontier.

Recalls Protest Note

Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to recall the British note of protest delivered on March 11, adding; that earlier in the same day he made carnest representations in the same sense to the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, with whom Vis- count Halltax also had two conver- sations the same day.

The. German Government's reply stated that the British Government was not within its rights in claiming the role of protector for the indepen- dence of Austria. A letter from Baron von Neurath to the British Ambassador in Berlin stated that the German Government had never left the British Government in any doubl that the form of the relations be tween the Reich and Austria could only be regarded as an internal affair of the German people, which was not the concern of third powers. In particular, the allegation that the

ultimatum presented demanded

Cabinet and Chancellor according to a list of certain candidates in con- formity with the proposals of the German Government, failing which the entry of German troops Into Austria would have to be con- templated, was described by Baron von Neurath as pure imagination.

Answered Appeal

The letter went on to say that the despatch of forces from Germany was first raised by an Austrian re- quest, and it added:" Faced with the directly threatening danger of bloody civil war in Austria, the Government of the Reich decided to meet the appeal."

The letter concluded with the con- tention that dangerous consequences could only come into play If un attempt was made by a third party in contradiction to the peaceful in- tentions and legitimate aims of the Kelch, to exercise in the develop- ments of the situation in Austria an Influence inconsistent with the right ol the Germon people to self- determination.

Mr. Chamberlain, after stating that the Government had remained in the closest touch with the French Gov- ernment throughout, said that It
