No. 310 of September 9

Supplementing my telegram No. 308 of September 9.

The Red Army has admitted to Lieutenant General Köstring (1) that the Soviet Union will intervene. Moreover, external evidence is multiplying of imminent Soviet military action: calling a large number of reservists up to 40 years of age, in particular technicians and physicians, sudden disappearance of important foods, preparation of schoolrooms as hospitals, curtailment in issuance of gasoline, and the like.
