SIKORSKI SEEKS 125,000 IN ARMY

Volunteers From U. S. May Be Asked to Join Legion in Frdnce.

- PARIS, Oct. 2 (U. P.). — Gen. Wiladislaw Sikorski, new Premier of Poland, conferred today with Premier Edouard Daladier on his Government’s status in France, and vowed to recruit soldiers to help the Allies restore his country. Gen. Sikorski announced that he hoped to send at least 125,000 men into the war against Germany. He said he might appeal to the 5,000,000 Poles in the United States to volunteer for the Army. Formation of Polish Legions in France and England already is under way. The new Premier, installed by President Wyadyslaw Raczkiewicz Saturday, asked Ignace Jan Paderewski, former Polish Premier and concert pianist now in voluntary exile in Switzerland, to co-operate with the new Government. It was not known what Mr. Paderewski could do, since he has been ill for several months. The new Government began as fear spread for the lives of four former Ministers, believed. to have been killed or captured by the Germans or Russians before they could escape to Rumania. The Ministers were Justice Minister- Witold Grabowski, “scourge of the Communists”; Agriculture Minister J. Poniatowski, who had expropriated big German land holdings; Social Assistance Minister Zyndram Koscialkowski, and E. Kalinski, Minister of Posts and Telegraphs. The new Government was constituted as one of “national union” with representatives of all political

iead GERMANS SEEK AID OF ITALY IN OBTAINING FOOD

| Hope for Two Sources of

Supply for Duration Of War.

ROME, Oct. 2 (U. P.).—Germany is seeking to form a powerful economic bloc including Italy and Russia in preparation for a long war, usually, reliable informants said to-

day. The German invitation which

{ took Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian

Foreign Minister, to Berlin was concerned primarily with Adolf Hitler’'s proposed “final” peace effort, it was said. : But informants added that it was taken for granted that the peace effort would be rejected by Great Britain and France, and that Herr Hitler, foreseeing a long war, wanted to make Germany as strong as possible economically in hope that he could offset the British contraband control. Herr Hitler's annexation of Austria and his partition of Poland have given him direct frontiers with Italy and Russia across which supplies could be exchanged. In any peace move in which Italy took part, it was believed there might be a suggestion for a small “independent” Polish state. As late as 10 days. ago Sig. Mussolini's newspaper Popolo d’ Italia of Milan suggested a small, purely Polish state. His Holiness Pope Pius XII was believed to approve heartily of Count Ciano’s mission to Berlin, in hope that in some way peace might be attained.

ARMY ADDS MORE MEN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (U. P.), — Secretary of War Harry Woodring said today that Army personnel would be increased during the current fiscal year by 114,494 men, including 25,790 in the rapidly-ex-panding Army Air Corps. The recruiting campaign, largest in the Army’S peace-time history, will bring the Army’s strength to 227,000 men by next June 30.
