BY WALTER DURANTY,

PARIS, Sept. 6 (N.A.NA).-The
German liner Bremen has already
been equipped as a commerce de-
stroyer in the North Atlantic, &C
cording to a theory advanced to
your correspondent by expert cir
cles in the French capital.
1t is suggested that the Bremen,
instead of attempting to reach Ger
many or a neutral port like Vigo, in
Northwestern Spain, after sailing
from New York a week ago, dashed,
according to plan, to a sheltered
ford of Greenland or Labrador,
where, untroubled by telegraph or
wireless, she calmly proceeded to
take on guns, ammunition and crew
from German vessel with which q
rendezvous had been arranged.
Although the sister ships, Bremen
and Europa, were launched in the
middle of the Weimar Republic and
were blessed by the spirit of Locarno,
the German government subsidy even
then doubtless required both to be
constructed to carry guns up to g.
inch. If not, structural alterations
doubtless have been made since.
Guns Could Have Been Hidden.
It is further pointed out that even
such minute search as was con-
Quoted in New York might fail to
discover cannon hidden in the bulk
heads. Only naval architect could
detect possible 3-foot clearance
wide enough for the guns-in the
interior Of an apparently solid bulk
head.
It is also suggested that q tender
might have brought three or four
light airplanes which could aid in
q destruction of commerce.

'Po|ond's Heart Is Captured;
Invading Army Is E Expected
To Reach Capital by Nightfo||
Reich Generals
Render Homage
To PiIsudski
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 6.-The capture
by the German army of Krakow
city often spoken of by the Poles
as "Poland's Heart" was officially
announced today.
The supreme high command said
Krakow had been taken without re-
sistance at noon. Bridges across the
Vistula River, it was added, had not
been destroyed, although the Poles
usually dynamite such approaches
as they retreat.
German commanding generals, the
announcement said, went immedi-
ately to Wawel Castle Cathedral to
render homage to the late Marshal
Josef Pilsudski, Polands strong man,
whom the Germans have claimed
as their friend.
WaWel contains the tombs of some
Of Polands greatest historic per-
sonageS.
Krakow is 140 miles southwest of
Warsaw and about go miles east of
the German-Polish border. across
which Nazi troops swept early last
Friday.
Wawel Castle Cathedral in Kra-
kow, is the burial place of ancient
Polish kings. In 1887 Pilsudski' S
body was removed by order of Prince
Sapieha, archbishop Of Krakow,
from a crypt in the cathedral to the
adjoining silver bell' tower.
A hot controversy followed, which
was settled when the archbishop
apologized. Krakow, Poland's an
cient capital, is now her fifth largest
city. with 242, 900 population.
With the announced capture
earlier in the day of Kielce, the
German armies had reached another
coveted strategic goal. Only a short
distance away is Sandomierz, where
the Poles have been centering their
new munitions and arms industry.
Sandomierz was intended to be what
Krupp at Essen or Skoda at Pilsen
were to the German and Czech
nations.
There were expressions of con-
idence in official German circles
that Sandomierz also soon would
capitulate before the German steam
roller.
AS Polish Silesia and its valuable
industries are in German hands,
and as Krakow is now reported
fallen, the official German belief is
that effective Polish resistance is
near an end.
Although there is speculation as
to why England and France are not
taking an effective hand-as the
Germans put tin the fight, Ger
many is taking no chances. The
assumption continues that both
countries will yet fight. ..
Besides the capture of Krakow,
the supreme army command an
nounced the following strokes:

south of Warsaw, and within SO

Local Advances

Sounds in Paris
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, Sept. 6.-The French gen.
eral staff announced today local
advances" had been made by its
armies pressing against Germany's S
Siegfried line.
Communique No. S, for the morn
ing of September 6, issued by the
war ministry, said some local ad-
vances were effected last evening
and during the night"
Just as the communique was being
read, at 10:48 am, sirens shrieked
an air raid alarm in Paris. It
was the city's first daylight alarm
since the war started Sunday and
followed one in the early morning,
in which firing Of anti-aircraft guns
was heard from the outskirts Of
the capital.
(Le Havre, northwest port of
France, had two AFRAID alarms
today from $50 (2:30 am. E. S.
T.) to $40 and from $50 to $50
a.m.)
A half hour after the second Paris
alarm, enemy planes had failed to
appear. French planes had roared
of to meet the invaders.
The alarms were said semi
officially to have been caused by the
approach of German scouting planes
which were turned back by anti
aircraft guns. Firing was heard
southeast of the capital.
The second air raid alarm of the
morning ended at 11:20 am. (5:20
am, E. S. T.) with the capital ap-
parently still untouched by enemy
bombs.
Newspapermen at the war min
istry getting the mornings COM
munique when the second alarm
sounded took refuge with officers
in underground shelters. At the
Chamber Of Deputies ushers and
legislators alike gathered in the
cellar.

that lit is still possible that mum.

he said, that the disaster may
prove to be Of greater magnitude

Mr.. Churchill said there were

she sailed-315 in the crew and
1,103 passengers, including approx.
imately 800 Americans.

ried no guns.

Every effort is being made BY

the names of the survivors," sait
Mr.. Churchill.
He said he wished to convey "Th,
profound sympathy" of the house tt
those bereaved by the disaster.
Sir Archibald Southby asked tina
ships in the future should not carr,
more passengers than they could &C.

would be borne in mind.
