HEROISM OF POLES
Three Years Since Attack (8.0.W.) RUGBY, August 31. On the third anniversary of the Polish-German War the Prime Minister 3 f Poland, General Wladislaw Sikorski, has issued a statement reaffirming Poland’s determination to continue in the fight until final victory. The Poles regarded the difficult and heroic September fight of 1939 and its fatal results, as a lost campaign and not as a lost war, he said. They saw it as the defeat o f a regime, but not as the defeat of Poland. Therefore, they had never laid down their arms for one moment. _ General Sikorski, dealing with Germany’s difficulties in the war, said that her losses in men since the beginning of the conflict amounted today to 1,500,000 dead and 3,000,000 wounded and sick, of whom 1,000,000 would never return to the ranks. In addition, they aad lost enormous quantities of equipment. General Sikorski contended that the raid on Dieppe proved that an invasion of the Continent was absolutely feasible.
