Soviets Drive 40 Miles into Poland
MOSCOW, Sept. 17—(U.P.)—The Red army general staff fnnounced tonight that Soviet troops had driven as deeply »s 40 miles into eastern Poland against "the weakest resistance” from the Polish army after smashing across the frontier all the way from Latvia to Rumania. There was no declaration of war for the Soviet military occupation which began at 4 a.m.
Britain, France May Be Forced to Fight Russia
LONDON, Sept. 17—(U.P.)—The Polish embassy today charged that Russia’s invasion of beleaguered Poland was an act of aggression, a charge which may leave Britain without choice under the Anglo-Polish treaty but to render every assistance in her power in this new quarter.
France and Britain are directly involved in the new situation because their guarantee to Poland covered military aggression from all quarters, not merely from Germany.
Turkish Aid to Allies Jeopardized
PARIS. Sept. 17—(U.P.)—Soviet Russia’s military occupation of eastern Poland tonight threatened to strip the allied powers of the military support of Turkey, guardian of the strategic and fortified Dardanelles and key nation of the eastern Mediterranean.
London and Paris realized that their projected military alliances with Turkey, which were to have sealed the Dardanelles against passage of German and other enemy warships, are at stake.
Nazi Sieqe Guns Move Closer to Warsaw
BERLIN. Sept. 18—(U.P.)—German siege guns were reported moving closer to Warsaw in a menacing ring early today, , 12 hours after expiration of a Nazi ultimatum threatening to destroy the Polish capital with an aerial and artillery bombardment unless it surrendered.

PARIS. Sept. 17—(U.P.)—Two heavy German counter-attacks on the Rhine-Moselle front were reported today to have been thrown back by French troops who stormed out of their trenches in a bayonet charge and by shelling from the Maginot forts that “slashed to pieces” German infantry columns.
Russian Troop Movements Worry Rumania
BUCHAREST. Rumania, Sept. 17—(U.P.) — Reports of Russian troop movements a few miles from the Rumanian border and the consequent possibility of fighting near the frontier caused grave concern in Bucharest today.

Now engaged lin writing the American sections of Adolf Hitler’s speeches, the former professors — all of German birth or extraction— told Buss that ‘‘the actions of Fritz Kuhn and the German-Amer-j ican bund are beyond the control
ot the German government and do greater harm than good to the American opinion of the German people and policies.”
“Kuhn’s greatest trouble,” they said, “is his stupidity in stirring up anti-German opinion — a fault j which offsets any good that the bund might do for Germany in America. We would much rather ser his whole movement swamped.”
