Slow Ad.ance
Advancing French troops which
have been feeling their way slowly
eastward reported forces from both
sides were obliged to fall back at
times during both Infantry and
artillery actions.
Heavy fighting was reported near
Rornbach as the French troops
pushed eastward In an attempted
encircling movement.
Ram hampered operations along
the 100-mlle front between the Mo

dispatcher spoke of "substantial

Saarbruecken Is located midway
on the front not far from the French
border.
, German reinforcements were re
ported pouring Into the areas be
hind Saarbruecken and opposite the
French city of Strasbourg In north
eastern France.
British Not In tine
The French government declared
officially there were "several hun
dred thousand" British troops In
France. Officials said, however, the
British had not yt.t engaged In
action, pointing out that It would
take some time to concentrate sup- ,
piles and dispose the units along
the front.
French officials contrasted the
appearance of the new troops with
what they described as "the handful
of heroes" who were thrown into
the breach in the early days of the
World war, In an effort to stem the
German advance from Belgium.
(A dispatch from Algeclras, Spain,
reported 10 English troop transports
passed Gibraltar en route to France.
Two British ships stopped at Gi
braltar, one to disembark several
thousand soldiers to reinforce the
garrison, the other to unload war
supplies.)

when the enemy planes flew over so
low I could almost count the rivets
In their fuselages.
Hotels of Lwow were crowded,
mostly with staff officers. Most cars
now being used were to take officers'
families to the frontier.
The hotels are serving one-piste
meals because of a shortage of sup
plies. Hard liquor Is not permitted
anywhere In Poland because It has
been turned over to the military for
medical use.
Newspapers are limited to one sheet
printed on both sides.'
Terror In Country
Terror Is almost as great In the
countryside as in the cities. Observ
ers charged that German planes mske
constant attacks, not only on lines
of fleeing refugees, but also on small
villages which have no anti-aircraft
protection or long-range guns.
Everywhere I go I hear criticism
from the man in the street of the
PoleB' leadership snd examples of
alleged lack of preparation. For In
stance, a woman medical expert from
Warsaw told me the first tralnload
of wounded was sidetracked for a
full hour before any of the seriously
wounded and dying men received any
attention.
The Lwow radio Is constantly
broadcasting appeals to citizens cap
able of bearing arms not to leave,
as "a definite defense will be made."
Nevertheless, refugees have been
pouring out of the city in a steady
stream s!nce the .first bombardment
September 1, many of them of
military age.
Center Defense At Border
Most of the Polish air forces or
what remains of It has been sta
tioned near the Rumanian frontier
In the hope of fighting off German
attempt, to smash Poland's lifeline
railway bringing oil and other sup
plies from Rumania.
But it Is a good bet Germin filers
could spot the Polish planes for bomb
attacks and, before you read this,
that may have happened.
German bombers, even as X write
this, are raining explosives on the
oil and alcohol refineries. The table
quivers under my hand as the earth
trembles. Outside there is the din
of sirens, antiaircraft batteries and
the thunder of bombardment on the
edge of the city.
The Germans are using shrapnel
bombs, I am told, and also some
sort of concussion bombs. One of the
latter dropped Into a three-story
building. The building collapsed as
though the mortar had been pulled
out from between the bricks.
