POLES MAKING DESPERATE STAND
North and West of Capital NEAR APPROACH OF GERMAN FORCES GREAT BATTLE IMPENDING (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 1.2.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, September 6. The United Press Warsaw correspondent states that the Polish forces are reported to be making a desperate stand west and north of Warsaw. Their anti-aircraft guns brought down eight of seventy enemy planes which bombed the capital. Neutral military observers do not believe the Germans could immediately break the outlying defence lines, although the Nazi advance troops are believed to be only ten miles away. Reinforced Polish troops have dug in for a desperate defence of the capital and a major battle seems to be impending.
