AFTER GERMAN CROSSING OF NAREW. ATTACKS ON LEMBERG RESISTED. WARSAW, September 15. 'The Polish army’s night communique admits that the German forces, after crossing the Narew River, reached the outskirts of Bialystok, where severe fighting is going on. Heavy fighting is also progressing to the south-east of Warsaw, where the Poles claim to have annihilated a whole German infantry regiment. ' They also claim to be successfully resisting heavy German attacks on Lemberg, capturing ten tanks and one armoured car and bringing down several German bombers.
It was declared in certain of the European dispatches that the section of the Polish army west of Warsaw attempted to break through back toward the east but failed, stated a Daventry broadcast received early this morning. The Germans were reported to have captured the oilfield in Polish Galicia, and motorised units were continuing to advance through to cut off the Polish retreat toward Rumania.
