New Coup By Herr Hitler

London, June 14.

A new coup by Herr Hitler—the occupation of Slovakia by German troops and its annexation as the Third Protectorate of the Reich, expected within a few days, writes the diplomatic correspondent of the "Daily Herald" today.

German troops are already in some parts of the country, in accordance with a treaty between Germany and Slovakia, and resistance is out of the question.

A suggestion seems to have been made to Hungary that it could have back a greater part of Slovakia by the cession to Germany of a slice of Hungarian territory west of the River Raab.

The correspondent believes that Hungary has firmly refused to agree.—Reuter.
