NAZIS DISCONCERTED
EXTENT OF THE RUSSIAN MOBILISATION /' MUCH GREATER THAN WAS EXPECTED. CHARGE AGAINST POLISH AIR FORCE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON, September 14. “The Times” Rotterdam correspondent states that official circles in Berlin are disconcerted over the extent of' the Russian .mobilisation. Those professing to believe the sincerity of Russian-German friendship expected a mobilisation 'of 1,000,000 men to guard the Russian-Polish frontier and possibly to occupy certain districts in East Poland. The Wilhelmstrasse is at a loss to explain the calling up of 2,000,000 men for the whole frontier from Rumania to Finland, but they still hope that Russia will be 'dragged in on Germany’s side.
The Tass (Soviet official) Agency charges Polish planes with frequently violating the Soviet frontier and endeavouring to penetrate far into Soviet territory. It states that Soviet forces yesterday forced four Polish planes to land and detained 15 of the crews.
A Russian trade delegation has arrived at London.
