Premier ¥F-ouard Daladier convoked a Council of Ministers of the new government for 10 a. m. Wednesday at Elysee Palace to review the politico-military situation in the light of Russia's intervention in Poland, President Albert Lebrun will preside. According to semi-official sources,
continue diplomatic relations with her and strive to separate Russia and Germany by making ne move to encourage a close friendship between them. Intense diplomatic activity was under way today. Robert Coulondre, chief of M. Daladier’s Foreign Office cabinet, received the Belgian Ambassador, Pol de Tellier, and the Turkish Ambassador, Behio Erkin, the Polish Ambassador, Jules Lukasiewicz, conferred with Foreign Office officials. M. Daladier conferred with Ieon Blum, Socialist Party leader. It was learned that the Germans had strongly reinforced their positions defending Saarbrucken, key city of the rich Saar industrial coal minine valley, to forestall any French attack in force. There was increasing small-scale activity all along the Saar Valley front, marked dy intermittent but severe artillery, both on the front lines and in the rear, to keep men from revoking the advance posts. Patrol activities were a chief activity in advance positions, with clashes on a small scale when patrols met in the wide no-man’s line. This meant a definite feeling out of positions.

Russians Report Drive West on 500-Mile Front
MOSCOW, Sept. 19 (U, P.).—Russian advance columns are approach= ing Vilna, in northern Poland, and
Lwow in the south, the Russian General Staff asserted today. The official communique of the
|General Staff of the “Workers’ and | Peasants’ Red Army” showed that
Russian troops were fast driving westward all along the 500-mile Polish front. Evidently moving in close coordination and at about the same rate, they were now 70 miles or more into Poland. The communique, issued this morning to cover operations of yesterday, said: “During the day of 18th September Red Army troops continued throwing back Polish Army units and by evening they had occupied: “In the north, in western White Russia (Poland) the town of Sventsiany, the railroad junction of Lida, the town of Novorgrudok, the town of Oriya on the Niemen River, the towns of Slonim and Volkovyssk, the station of Yaglevichi on the Minsk-Brest Litovsk railroad; “In the south in the Western Ukraine (Poland) the railroad junction of Sarny, and the towns of Lutsk, Stanislavov, Galich, Krasne and Buchach. “Advance columns of the Red Army are approaching Lwow and Vilna.” Sventsiany, in the north, is 70 miles from the Russian frontier and 48 miles northeast of Vilna. Lida, a railroad junction, is 70 miles inside Poland; Orlya is 80 miles from the frontier: Slonim, 60; Lutsk, 85; Stanislavov, capital of the province of the same name, 70; Krasne, 70:
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Sept. 19 (U. P).~Hungry Polish refugees streamed into Rumania today and settled in villages near the border, creating food shortages and danger of epidemics. Russian tanks and cavalry were reported closing in on the PolishRumanian border, hastening the flight of civilians and soldiers from the southeast corner of Poland. The Interior Ministry sent an under secretary to the border to direct the segregation of Polish civilians and | troops. The former were being held at border towns and were expected | to be told to leave the country in a few days. The refugee groups were being interned in concentration camps. The Polish Government, however, was given the friendliest treatment. President Ignacy Moscicki went to Bicaz, 160 miles north of Bucharest in the Carpathian Mountains, where an estate belonging to Rumania’s royal family was made available to him. Marshal Edward Smygly-Rydz, | Polish Army commander who abandoned his country with his staff officers yesterday while his troops continued to resist German and Russian invaders in several places, was offered quarters at Craiova, in the southwest, 40 miles from the Bugarian border. Foreign Minister Josef Beck and other members of the Polish Government were permitted to go to Slanica, 60 miles north of Bucharest,
Rumanians Get Tanks
Polish troops crossing the border brought many complete tank units, heavy artillery and anti-aireraft guns. These they surrendered to the Rumanians, It was reported that approximately 250 Polish fighting planes had been landed in Rumania, many of them badly damaged, and had been confiscated. Thirty private planes carrying refugees had landed here. They were ordered to proceed to Constanza on the Black Sea. It was said that the private planes would be turned over to the Rumania Air Corps, On the border, many of the refugees were penniless and those
Hungry, Fleeing Poles Get Cabbage Soup in Rumania
Many priests and monks were among the refugees, There were also nuns, brushing elbows with women from Warsaw society, whose silk dresses were in tatters. All were hungry. Peasant women fed many of them pieces of bread and cabbage soup. At dawn this morning, 400 children of tender ages were reported to have crossed the border in one group. The Polish Government officials were said to be extremely depressed. Marshal Smygly-Rydz was reported on the verge of a breakdown. President Moscicki was bearing his country’s fate stoically.
Expected to Go to West
(A proclamation by President Moscicki, issued at Kosow, in Poland, near the border, before he crossed to Rumania, was published yesterday in Paris. It informed the Polish people that the Government was moving to “a residence where conditions prevail for assuring the exercise of full sovereignty and guarding the interests of the republic.” The proclamation was interpreted in Paris as indicating that the Polish Government would move to France or Britain soon, since it could not be expected to “fully exercise” in Rumania and jeopardize that country’s neutrality. It also was believed that President Moscicki had hoped to forestall the recognition of any puppet government that Germany might create in Poland.) (At Budapest it was announced that streams of Polish refugees were pouring into Hungary and that Government officials had met at Ungver to discuss the situation, Later, it was said that Polish civil jans would be received with hospitality and given food and lodging until they arrived at their “final destinations,” Polish soldiers, however, were being interned and it was announced that three battaljons and one brigade already had crossed and surrendered. The Hun garian radio station at Budapest broadcast greetings to the defenders of Warsaw and to all Polish soldiers. A Catholic broadcast from the same station greeted French soldiers on

Stand on Russia Awaited Britain's stand in connection with the Russian advance into Poland will be explained tomorrow in the House of Commons by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, It was understood that the Government did not intend to recognize a state of war against Russia. But the Government had been pledged to fight on for Polish independence, to fight until Hitlerism was smashed, and it had made known that one of its war aims was the re-establishment of Czecho= slovakia. The Polish Government is cone sidering moving to London to preserve its identity on allied soil and co-operate with the British and French Governments in prosecuting the war for its freedom, it was understood today.

U-Boat War Pressed
On the sea, both British and French forces reported new suce cesses in attacks on German sube marines which yesterday struck the first blow at Britian’s Navy by sinking the big airplane carrier Courageous with a loss of about 579 dead or missing. Royal Air Force planes reported many attacks on German U-boats, some of which an official announce= ment said were successful, The Germans said, however, that the submarine which torpedoed the Courageous had escaped successfully from the depth bombs fired at it and had reported its feat to the High Command. Two more British trawlers were sunk by torpedoes, official sources in J.ondon believed, but the convoy and aerial counter-attack system was described as working satise factorily, Moscow continued to take the ate titude while its armies pushed ale most 100 miles deep into Poland along a 500-mile front that Russia was neutral in the European war, The official Soviet news agency ree ported that the White Russians and Ukrainians in Polish territory
