Germans Making Big Effort

Germany is making over Anish Poland as quickly as possible, writes the Berlin correspondent the "Politiken." It is this urgency, he considers, which has promoted a Ger man_broadeast.. proclamation urging the Poles to surrender quickly, other= wise their country will be completely destroyed.

German troops in Poland are now said to be engaged in three man-

1. Completely encircling Warsaw.

Culling off Lublin, for a few days the new capital of Poland, from Lwow.

3. An advance with East Prussian divisions upon Brest-Litovsk, in Grodno, 180 miles east of Warsaw.

The Germans claim their troops gained ground rapidly and almost without resistance in southern Poland, paving the way to cutting Poland off from Rumanian and foreign supplies. Germans are said to have reached Rawa-Ruska on the Lublin to Lwow road, and the Vistula north of Sandomier is reported to have been eross-at several points—Reuter.
