Sept. 20 0ft The supreme su-preme high command today disclosed dis-closed that Germany and Soviet Russia have reached an agreement agree-ment on the partition of Poland, at least so far as their armies of occupation are concerned. That the demarcation line has been selwas announced In a high command communique which, however, how-ever, did not say where the line runs. It asserted the German forces would withdraw from their present positions after "destruction of the last remnants of the Polish army there" to the "demarcation line definitely fixed between the German Ger-man and Russian governments.' Whethei this line lies east or west of Warsaw was not indicated. The communique said German forces hav advanced - to a line running from Stryj, in southeast Poland, north -near the Industrial city of Lwow iLembergl, thence almost straight north to Brzesc Brest-Litovskl, about 160 miles from the soviet frontier and up to Bialyslok. about 150 miles from the Russian border. Reds at Rumanian Door The entire Rumanian frontier bordering southeast Poland is in Russian hands. Presumably, as the Germans retire, re-tire, the red troops will take their place by advancing westward from their present positions. Whether the army occupation areas later will become the new boundaries tetween Germany and Russia was a moot question. Informed quarters Intimated this question w-as not yet completely solved. Four German army officers arrived ar-rived in Moscow to take part in iConllnnrri oti Pit Two i Column Twni Nazis, Russia Split Poland For Armies of Occupation (Continued from Pan Ons) consultations, presumably concerning concern-ing the future of Poland. The Moscow Mos-cow communique reported the Russian Rus-sian occupation of both Lwow, In the southeast and Wllno, In northeastern north-eastern Poland. Germany's "blitzkrieg" Klght-nlng Klght-nlng war) was considered here at an end except for mopping up activities ac-tivities In Poland. The Poles, however, how-ever, were still fighting in and south of the fortified town of Mod-lln. Mod-lln. Immediately north of Warsaw. Warsaw Itself also has not capitulated capitu-lated to German arms. Many Prisoners Takes) The handful of Polish troops who gave the Germans some trouble trou-ble yesterday en the heights back of Gdynia, Polish port at the end of the corridor, gave up last night under pressure of shelling from the cadet ship Schleswlg-Holsteln and a mlnesweeplng flotilla. Several thousand prisoners were reported taken. The battle north ef Lodz by Kutno and the Bzura river, about 63 miles west of Warsaw, which ended yesterday, was termed by the high command "one of the biggest destructive battles of all times." The number of captlvei was reported re-ported at 105,000 and still growing. The amount of war materials seized was said to be enormous. Quiet ea West The strength of the Poles' fighting fight-ing resistance surprised even German Ger-man officers, who first calculated the enemy had 50.000 or 60.000 men participating In the nine-day battle. bat-tle. This apparently was the largest grouping of troops the Poles brought together on any single battlefield bat-tlefield of the war. The high command communique again today paid scant attention to the western front, asserting operations op-erations there were limited and of a scouting nature. Ne 'Peace' Talk Adolf Hitler's war policy speech In reclaimed Danzig was taken today by some observers as a warning that the powerful German air fleet may be dispatched to England, Eng-land, If the British naval blockade Is considered to be working hardships hard-ships on the German people. The fuehrer was believed by those observers to be planning an I "eye-for-an-eye" war. If necessary. neces-sary. In Danzig yesterday he threatened threat-ened to fight "in the same manner as our opponents." Out of his long address to the cheering throng that and other salient Inferences of '. German policy were drawn: I 1. Germany Is ready to fight 1 seven years. 2. "For every bomb falling on a German city, five or 10 will fall ion their (enemy) cities." 3. Germany and Soviet Russia, "the two greatest peoples and states." alone will decide the fate of Poland and establish peace and order In eastern Europe. 4. Germany regards the western ; boundary of the relch as "final," ! and has no "war alma" against ; Britain or France. j 5. Twenty years of national socialism so-cialism have unified the German 1 people so firmly that foreign propaganda efforts to cause dissension dissen-sion are "laughable." The Impassioned hour and 14 minute speech, regarded by many : as Hitler's most forceful, was considered con-sidered not a "peace offer" but a 1 firm outline of terms under which i Germany would refrain from turning turn-ing the present limited war into a I bloodier conflict I .
