SCATTERED POLISH TROOPS
STILL FIGHTING SPORADICALLY BERLIN, September 18. (Received September 19, at 1.30 p.m.) The official wireless service states that German troops occupy the greater part of Poland. The remainder of the territory lying eastward is principally Ukrainian, White Russian, and Lithuanian. The Eastern German army between Brest-Litovsk and Wlodssimierz, 70 miles north of Lwow (Lemberg), has closed the ring spanning Poland from the north to the south. The northern and southern armies met at Wlodawa, 38 miles south of Brest-Litovsk, reaching, a line running from south-east of East Prussia to Stryj, near the PoloHungarian frontier, driving the Poles back to beyond Brest-Litovsk and the Bug River. The scattered remains of Polish troops still remain at Wysogrod, south-west of the Vistula, at Modlin, north of Warsaw, also on lakes at Grodek, west of Lwow, but they are fighting sporadically and must eventually be overcome.
