Formal
communications
with
New

London,
Danzig,
Paris,
Brussels,
Copenhagen,
Zurich
and
presumably
with
other
foreign
centres
were
cut
off
early
tonight,
indicating
that
events
of

in
Germany
were
under

The
fact
that
Chancellor
Hitler
this
afternoon
successively
received
British,
French,
Italian
and
Japanese
ambassadors
indicated
that
he
had
told
them
he
would
a-t.
Soon
thereafter
the
communication
lines
ceased
to
operate.
It
was
also
announced
offHally
that
all
German
commercial

must
remain
in
German

or

that
