Nazis said they captured 105,000 prisoners, making more than 400,000 soldiers reportedly taken by them during the Polish war.

Mr. Chamberlain said that Britain did not seek war but was forced inte the conflict by Germany's “‘un[provoked” aggression against Po- | land. He quietly pointed out that Herr | Hitler's statement that Germans [were following “humane” methods lof warfare could not affect the “ace [counts of bombing of open towns and machine gunning of refugees that have shocked the whole world.” On the Western Front, he said, the French have gained valuable tactical objectives in the face of strong German resistance,

Enemy artillery was active in the region east of the Blies.” This was in the same sector in which the high command had ans nounced las. night the repulse of a local German attack. Last night's communique also noted German artillery action in the sector. It was assumed that the counters attack, and the subsequent German bombardment=-possibly in preparas= tion for another one—were made in the vicinity of Zweibruecken, which is 16% miles east of Saarbruecken, key town of the Saar Valley. After the Cabinet had met as a formal Council of Ministers under President Albert Lebrun, it issued a declaration regarded as the French [answer to Adolf Hitler's speech at [Danzig yesterday. The Oouncil approved new mille tary, economic and financial meags ures designed to prosecute the war until “final victory” and it des clared that Franco=-British solidarity increased daily.
