| Within the salient, the French took numerous villages, including Carlsbrunn, which gives its name to the Carlsbrunn-Warndt forest; Lauterbach, Ludweiler, Gross Rosseln and St. Nikolaus, all of which the Germans had evacuated. The forest, filled with buried mines and tank traps, was being mopped up this morning as new French lines were established on the wooded northern bank of the Saar. By wiping out the Warndt Forest salient, the French removed one of the principal obstacles between the frontier and the Saar River which, inside Germany, parallels the border between Saarbruecken and Trier.
Duke and Duchess of Windsor will arrive in England Monday or Tuesday, it was learned today from a trustworthy source. They are en route to Paris from Cannes, where they will spend the weekend packing their possessions. It was believed they will stay at the residence of the Duke of Kent in Belgrave Square, London.

French line, the advance gave the French access to easier ground.

Except for the Warndt forest the territory between the frontier and the Saar River is dotted with valleys and small woods. There are several important railheads in the area, including Dillingen, Rehlingen and Merzig. The German West Wall is situat-

TI saw no signs of military demoralization along the entire route from Warsaw to Tomaszow. Much of that route is parallel to the Vistula River beyond which the German Army was pushing eastward.

MOSCOW, Sept. 9 (U.

It was indicated that technicians, particularly chauffeurs who are reserve tank drivers, were being called. Some were merely registered and sent back to their jobs; others were taken immediately into the army. Doctors and nurses also were registering. The Government also requisitioned some automobile plants and

POLES CONQUERED
ROME, Sept. 9 (U. P.).—The Ltalian press assumed today that
Warsaw had fallen to Adolf Hitler and saw a virtual end to his Polish campaign. . Newspapers said that although Poland still holds two-thirds of the country, that part hardly is worth taking. They doubted that the Poles would continue to resist. The morning Mesaggero said the “fall” of Warsaw was of great “moral” and “strategic” import, and added: “With the fall of the capital, all the country really inhabited, developed and organized has fallen into German hands.” Premier Benito Mussolini loomed as a moving force behind efforts to organize a Balkan peace front. Diplomats asked the states individually to declare neutrality and to patch up their perennial rivalries and quarrels. It was understood generally that Italy wants Hungary included in the Balkan bloe, although Hungary, as a ‘“revindicationist” and nonBalkan state, always has been aloof from Balkan entanglements.
| —— - Claims By UNITED PRESS
GERMANY — Marshal Goering, second in command to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, told the German people Germany will subdue Poland | within a week and will be able to move the Western Front. At the same time Goering said Germany wants nothing from France and will not attack the French, but will defend itself. Germany claimed that her troops had entered Warsaw, advanced to within 50 ntiles of Lublin, the temporary Polish capital, and to be in control of about onethird of Poland, in the west.
ALLIES—Polish Embassy at Lon|don declared that reports of the {fall of Warsaw are absolutely false.
