Hitler's Bombastic Words To The World
SPECIAL TO THE TELEGRAPH”.
1939. BAWA SINGLE COPY 10 CENTS
DANZIG, Sept. 19 (UP).-Hitler, the madman of central Europe, to-night launched a fana- tical speech in which offers of peace on Germany's own terms and threats of barbarism with "a weapon not yet known, with which we could not ourselves be attacked" were combined.
If Britain and France do not accept Germany's terms for peace, the Nazis are prepared, he
said, to fight for three, four, five or six years.

TOKYO, Sept. 20 (Domei) -The Soviet Government has informally announced its opposi-

Danzig Germans cheered nadly as their Feuhrer told them that Germany was in agreement tion to a German plan for advancing on Rumania, with Russia that Poland should never rise again.

British "warmon- gers," said Hitler, have

vainly to destroy Naziism.
and
"If Britain France want war, they will get it with five bombs in their cities for every single bomb landed on German towns."
Hitler blamed Britain for the war, and scornfully accept- cd as a compliment the British intention to overthrow him..
The German leader issued the threat that warfare would be re- doubled both in vigour and horror unless Britain and France called off their attacks.
In effect, Hitler told his audience that the entire--German-air- force would be let loose against France and Britain.
"So far," he said, “I have ordered our air force to be. humane. But the democracies want it differently. They may have it."
The Polish Army, he said, was smashed, and 300,000 Poles were already intern- ed.
"There are people who say 'Let us make war for three
ob- years" "-an vious reference to Britain's preparations for a three year war.
"Those are the people who wish to drive millions to their death. They have no conscience.
"If this war lasts for three years, we shall have something to say about that, too, and at the end of that time there will not come one word of capitulation from the Reich. The length of this war also depends upon ́Germany, In the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth year, we shall not capitulate.

Full Report
GERMANY MAY COMMENCE BIG PUSH IN THE WEST
PARIS, SEPT. 19 (REUTER).—THERE IS NO HURRY ON THE PART OF THE FRENCH COMMAND TO ENTER ON THE NEXT STAGE OF OPERATIONS ON THE WESTERN FRONT, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO CULMINATE IN A BIG PUSH.
This big push, it is stated in Paris, may even come from the enemy. The object of the Germans would be to remove French contact with the Siegfried Line, which is now under short-range fire from French artillery. NAZI TRAP ?
A semi-official review of the operations says that the German evacuation and destruction of villages may be a plan to trap the French.
The French are. hesitating to draw conclusions, however, and are now consolidating their positions.
The French positions captured from the Germans between the Rhine and the Moselle, are well organised and defended. French troops have been quick to establish, in their advance positions captured from the Germans, pillboxes and concrete trenches right to the limits of the French advance.
The French air force continues
to be active over the enemy lines,
where occasional dog-fights have taken place.
