"REMEMBER THE PANAY," IS U.S.
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 |NAVAL TOAST 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.
Danzig Germans cheered madly as their Fuehrer told them that Germany was in agreement with Russia that Poland should never rise again.
"We both want a lasting peace in Europe," Hitler some- what ironically dis- claimed.
"
British "warmon- gers," said Hitler, have sought foolishly and vainly to destroy Naziism.
"If Britain and France want war, they will get it with five bombs in their cities for every single bomb landed on German towns.'
J
Hitler blamed Britain for the war, and scornfully accept- ed 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 and unless Britain 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."

LONDON, SEPT. 20 (UP).—WHAT MAY WELL PROVE THE GREATEST EPIC OF THE WAR IS BEING WRITTEN IN THE SHATTERED RUINS OF WARSAW, ONCE PROUD CITY 1,178,211 PEOPLE.
OF
For 36 hours, now, the former Polish capital has shuddered under a sustained bombardment by artillery and aerial bombs, the severity of which is unparalleled in world history. POUNDED TO DUST
The Germans, carrying out their threat to completely destroy the city, are mercilessly pounding it to dust.
The cannonading and aerial bombings are continuous.
All communications between the stricken city and the outside world are shattered, except for Warsaw Radio, whose announcers continue to hurl defiance at the invaders.
WORLD LEARNS BY RADIO
From the radio station, whose vital transmitters have miraculously escaped damage, the world is learning the story of an heroic resistance which, despite fore- doom, shows no sign of weakening.
Repeated attacks have been launched by wave after wave of Nazi mechanised units and infantry, covered by low-flying aeroplanes, on the eastern suburbs of Warsaw,

Mr. Suma expressed the opinion FLANDERS
that the China "Incident"
