A message from the correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain at Budapest says the official Hungarian News Agency states that Germany has asked the Government for permission to send troops through Hungary. A correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain in a message from Rarek says Yugoslavia is calling up more classes to reinforce the 300,000 troops guarding the Yugoslav-Italian and Yugo-slav-German frontiers. Crowded troop trains are arriving at Ljubljana and Maribor, while trenches and tank barricades are being constructed for miles behind the permanent defences.
