Lithuania Helps
In The Division
Of Poland
UNDATED. Sept. 20 (fP) — A;
bitter war of words between Ger:
many and Britain accompanied
the conflict on Europe’s battle-1
field as Warsaw held out against
the thirteenth day of the German
seige. On the w'estern front
France said “the night was calm”
except for enemy artillery activ
i'.y East of the Biies River. On
the eastern front Germany re
ported the capture of 105,000 pri
soners, continuing their progress j
of wiping out Polish resistance. J
Describing a severe German
bombardment of central Warsaw
a Polish communique broadcast!
said the Polish capitol would re- i
sist “with confidence in our!
great allies France and Britain.” {
Soviet troops are driving in to
occupy Polish Ukraine and the j
White Russian provinces. They j,
blocked the entire Polish-Human j
ian frontier. A Moscow commun
ique reported the occupation of j
Lwow in southeastern Poland
in addition to .Vilna in the north j
east which was reported taken
yesterday. In connection with the
occupation of Vilna, Tass, the of
ficial news agency said Lithuan
ia was cooperating with Russia
in marking the new frontier.
The Lithuanians consider Vilna,
occupied by Poland in 1920 as
their ancient capitol
The word war was continued
by Britain with an Information
Ministry statement replying to
Hitler’s Danzig speech in which
they disclaimed any “war aims”
against Britain and France.
Chamberlain said the speech was
“full of crass misstatements.”
Two British
Trawlers Are
Sunk by Subs
LONDON, Sept. 19 </P) — The
grim duel between British ship
I ping and naval power and Ger
' man submarines continued with !
! the official announcement that 2
British trawlers, the Lord Minto
and the Arlita were sunk but j
that three other merchant vessels
eluded the subs.
Britain’s losses since the begin
ning of the war were set at ap-;
proximately thirty vessels.
The Admiraltys announcement
that 681 survivors of the Courag
eons were accounted for, left
579 still missing but naval au
'thorities insisted there is still
some hope that the actual num-,
ber aboard might have been con
siderably below 1260.
The Admiralty gave no details
of the trawler sinking beyond
saying that the crews were res
cued. A third trawler, the 3390
ton Baron Lovat, one of the
three vessels that the Admiralty
announced eluded the subs, crew
came ashore at Greenock, Scot
land with stories how they dodg
ed gunfire of a sub off the Irish
coast. They later heard an ex
posion which they believed to
have destroyed the submarine.

Hitler Is Ready
Continue War
Long As Has To
.. _
DANZIG Sept. 19 UP) —Hitler
emphasized that “We have no
war intentions against either
England or France. Germany
seeks ony to achieve a lasting
peace. Russia and Germany will
settle this Polish situation and
this will result in the removal
of tension” he declared. Howev
er, he expressed determination
to continue the war as long as
he is forced to, saying that the
word “surrender" will not be
uttered ’ nor at the end of the
sixth or seventh year.”
He shouted "the generation of
today is not generating Bethman
Hollweg." Earlier he said Ger
many today "is no longer a coun
try to which an ultimatum can
be dictated.” “We will give them
bomb against bomb, and not only
one but five hundred bombs.”
Reviewing the events leading
up to Germany's invasion of Po
land, Hitler, in an international
broadcast carried to the United
States by NBS. welcomed Dan
zig back to the Reich. He said
i that the state of affairs had be
! come “impossible” in September
after he believed in August it
i would be possible to come to an
understanding. He said he suffer
ed much from Poland in the past
six years but he had not sent
them an ultimatum. Citing the
attempts of Mussolini to bring
peace and a full settlement of
the dispute, he said England in-1
terevened. Then he shouted:
England sent an ultimatum to
Germany but the day is past
| when anyone can send an ulti
matum to the Reich.”
Hitler said he earlier attempt
ed to find a “reasonable solution
to the problem” but indicated it
became impossible with the
1 death of Marshal Pilsudski.
Britain Still
Determined To
Fight Germany
LONDON, Sept. 20 (JP) —Pre
mier Chamberlain declared that
no threats could deter Britain
and her allies from achieving
their war aims but “What we
will not do is rush into ad
vances that offer little prospect
of success." With the obvious pur;
pose of allaying public anxiety
as to whether the Western allies
were striking vigorously enough
against Germany, Chamberain j
declared in the House of Com
mons “There is no sacrifice from
which we will shrink, there is no
operation we will not undertake
provided our responsibe advisors
and our allies and ourselves are i
convinced it would maike an ap i
propriate contribution toward
victory.”
In reply to Hitler’s Danzig
speech, Chamberlain said Brit
ain’s general war purpose was to
“redeem Europe from the perpet
ual fear of German aggression
and to enable the peoples of Eu
rope to preserve their independ
ence and liberty.”

j Dimond said: ‘‘When I left the

products that are moving abroad
I The people can see no excuse
for the United States to get into

j to invite trouble by a partial
