FIRST MONTH OF WAR

BRINGS CONFIDENCE

LONDON, Oct. 1 (Reuter).-Summing up the results of the first month of the war in a broadcast talk to-night, Mr. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, said that Poland had been overrun, but would rise again, Russia had warned Hitler off his Eastern dream, and the U-boats might safely be left to the constant attention of the British navy.

Dealing at the outset with Poland, Mr. Churchill said that the country had again been overrun by the two great Powers which had held her in bondage for 150 years, but they were unable to conquer the spirit of the Polish

nation.
