WARSAW’S FATE
REASON FOR SURRENDER SUFFERING OF CIVILIANS LACK OF MUNITIONS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 29, 1 p.m.) WARSAW, Sept. 28 A defence communique, in announcing that the capitulation negotiations are concluding, says 16,000 soldiers and 20,000 civilians were wounded and the lack of food was cruelly felt. The Command, not wishing to increase the superhuman suffering of the civilians and taking into account the lack of munitions, decided on capitulation on conditions. The Hel Peninsula is the only centre now holding out. There has been some desultory fighting elsewhere. The Soviet’s gunboats will patrol the Vistula, Bug and San Rivers. A High Command communique states that the Modlin fortress has offered to surrender. The bulk of the German troops crossed the demarcation line “according to plan.” BUDAPEST, Sept. 28 Soviet troops reached the Hungarian frontier, exchanged courtesies with the Hungarians, and took up their positions. A High Command communique says that Warsaw will be occupied as soon as arrangements are completed, probably Friday.
