OPERATIONS TO REDUCE CITY ORDERED BY GERMAN COMMAND. FRENCH .AMBASSADOR REPORTS ON AIR TERRORISM. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON, September 26. A communique issued by the German High Command states that as all efforts to convince Warsaw that further resistance is useless have failed, military operations to reduce the city were started yesterday. The Moscow correspondent of the British United Press says the radio announced that the Red army reached Zamosc, Osoweic, Chelm and Sambor. A Paris message says that the Gestapo has been ordered to see that the regular army in Poland does not make contact with Russian troops. The French Ambassador at Warsaw, in an interview, said that the Germans
sent 2000 planes against Poland, of which 1000 were continuously sowing terror and destruction on any living thing they could see. Clear moonlit nights prevented the Polish fighters from counter-attacking. The German armies, thanks to dry ground, advanced as much as 50 miles a day, but wherever the Poles were of equal strength they proved of superior courage. Widespread intensive espionage also helped the Germans. The Poles, however, could have held out in East Poland but for the Russian invasion. The French and British Ambassadors witnessed the massacre of peasantry by air at Kremieniec on September 12. POLISH GOLD SEIZURE BY RUMANIAN GOVERNMENT.
