Considered at FluS-
Cured Meeting i n
Washington; Refer
endum Immediately
Favored at Session.

Washington, Sept 13-(AP)-The
Agriculture Department sought ways
today to restore a d L,ree of normalcy
to the Souths flue-cured tobacco
markets, seriously demoralized by
withdrawal of foreign buyers because
of the war in Europe.
More than two score representa-
tives of tobacco farmers, warehouse
men, bankers and merchants in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia met with department Of
ficials The hope was expressed that
some means might be devised to
store large part the unsold crop.
With less than half Of the record
billion-pound crop sold, and with
markets in the Carolinas shutting
down because Of the sharp price drop
after stoppage Of foreign buying, the
possibility of government loans being
extended on the tobacco was dis
cussed. This would permit storage
of the crop if the price drops below
a loan level, which would have to
be determined by the department..
The seriousness Of the withdrawal
of foreign buying was emphasized
by the fact that more than 40 per-
cent of the crop normally is sold for
export, with Great Britain taking
the bulk. British buyers withdrew

news was displayed prominently by
Paris evening newspapers.
Creation of a Polish army in
France was under way, with recruit
ing offices opened throughout the
country to receive Polish volunteers.
French infantrymen were reported
in dispatches reaching Paris as con-
tinuing to edge forward in German
territory toward the Siegfried line at
several points along 100-mile front
between the Rhine and Moselle rivers
While rival fliers clashed in the
air and the big guns of both sides
pounded enemy territory, military
advices said French sources east Of
Saarbruecken had made a ''suDstan-
tial" advance. Fleet French tanks and
armored cars earlier were reported
to have reached the outskirts of Saar-
bruecken, railroad junction and in
dustrial heart of the rich Scar basin,
yesterday, and to have thrust lmme-
diately into the suburbs.
In the Warndt forest west of Saar-
bruecken, where the Germans have
been counter r-attacking, the French
asserted they still hold two-thirds
of the woods, and the situation was
unchanged since they first advanced.
Military observers commented that
in the second week of operations, the
campaign nevertheless still remained
