HITLER REPORTED TO HAVE REJECTED LAST PEACE PLEA

Hungary Announces Mobilisation of Army: Belgium Takes Measures

UNDERSTOOD THAT THE MESSAGE BROUGHT FROM BERLIN BY SIR HORACE WIL- SON DID NOT CONVEY ANY CONCESSIONS FROM HERR HITLER. AN UNCONFIRMED "UNITED PRESS” MESSAGE STATES THAT HERR HITLER HAS ORDERED THE GERMAN ARMY TO MARCH INTO CZECHO-SLOVAKIA AT 2 P.M. (9 P.M. H.K.T.) TO-DAY IF GERMANY'S DEMANDS ARE NOT ACCEDED TO.

"REUTER" REPORTS THAT IT IS

HUNGARY HAS COMMENCED TO MOBILISE ITS ARMY. A German spokesman states that it is improbable that General Mobi- lisation will be ordered in Germany, as 1,300,000 troops are already on a war footing as a result of the recent manoeuvres. DEADLINE AT 9 P.M. TO-NIGHT

BERLIN, Sept. 28.

Indications are that Herr Hitler is angered by Mr. Chamberlain's speech and that unless there are prospects of a peaceful solution by 2 p.m. to-day he has decided to march his armies into Czecho-Slovakia.

Any orders marshalling Germany's forces are unlikely to take the form of General Mobilisation in view of the fact that already there are 1,300,000 men under arms and further reserves must come from the Storm Troopers or comparatively old men.

LONDON, 8.30 P.M.

HIS MAJESTY THE KING, IN A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE "LONDON GAZETTE", HAS DECLARED THAT A STATE OF EMER- GENCY EXISTS IN GREAT. BRITAIN.

His Majesty, the King's notification that a State of Emergency exists in Britain was published "by and with the advice of the Privy Council."

The decree orders the Minister for Air, Sir Kingsley Wood, to call up all and any officers and men of the Auxiliary Air Force.

A State of Emergency in Britain has not the wide implications of a similar declaration elsewhere. It, however, gives the authorities wide and extraordinary powers to regulate and take over transport and supplies to control prices, etc., and to generally take whatever steps are necessary for the safety of the population.
