Polish Government Is
 Forced Out Of Capital
tContinued from Page D

there was no panic, many per- sons were loading their be- longings into any transport available including old-fash- toned droshkas and that trains were crowded by fam lilies.
 Another message reported that the government press bureau was planning to leave Warsaw and still another, mutHated by censorship, quoted reports that the government was planning to move to new quar- ters.
 A still later message mentioned the possibility of immediate depar- ture, presumably of the government, but apparently due to the censor ship the exact meaning of this dis patch was not clear.
 These messages came after or at the time of German announcements that they had captured such key cities as GraudenZ, in the north, and Kattowice,. in the south, push ing within less than 50 miles of Warsaw.
 Another Maxi Claim
 On the south, the Germans claimed to have advanced to Kam- iens, only 70 miles from Warsaw.
 If the Polish government leaves Warsaw, 1t was believed 1t would go southeastward to Lubin, 95 miles away and toward the Rumanian frontier, thus they would be able to avoid being trapped with no avenue for escape from Poland. Lwow is still further on toward Rumania.
 There was no indication in mes- sages from Warsaw, however, as to where the government would go if it leaves the capital. All references were to "an unknown destination"
 But whether the German drive into Poland could move rapidly enough or continue in the face of war on the reich's Rhineland front was uncertain.
 France Already Started
 Already France had started oper- ations against the Rhineland, mak- ing contact with the German forces and British bombers hao raided Wilhelmshafen where they reported they had damaged two Nazi battleships. Germans said five of l2 British planes were shot down in the attack on the entrance of on the Kiel Canal.
 From Paris, too, came reports by the semi-official radio agency thai there might be serious trouble 1T Germany. While such indirect re. parts were discounted pending fur, ther details, the dispatches sait there had been disorders in Cologne Dusseldorf and Essen as well a! in the former Czechoslovakia. An ex, plosion at Friedrichshafen, Ger also was reported by the Exchang, Telegraph agency.
 With arrival of survivors of th' British liner Athenia at Glasgow, tn story of how a submarine torpedoet the big ship and then fired tw, shells at her was broadcast to tn, world from Great Britain. Firs stories of the disaster indicated tha 100 or more lives were lost in thu explosions and in the frantic rescu, maneuyers.
 Germany continued to deny tha a Nazi submarine had attacked tn liner. but the eyewitness storie serviced to fan the anger and de termination of the allied countrie already at war against Adolf Hit Ter.
 Britain, France Advance
 Meanwhile. Great Britain an' France sought to come to grips witt the Germans on the western (Rhine land) front in order to relieve pres sure on the Poles. The French troop moved into their front line trenche on the border and German force did likewise, going into zone si. miles wide between the main forti fications on each side.
 Both Paris and Berlin agreed however, that the engagement" uI to Tuesday noon (ED,TD had beel preliminary and that there had beel no fighting, other than the Britisl bombardment of the German nav, at Wilhelmshayen and Brunsbutte on the iKel Canal.
 Germany claimed that i2 Britisl bombers were shot down and tn British announced the raid wa successful" apparently damaging o destroying two German warships.
 Poles Fought Bitterly
 Poles fought for every inch O their soil but there were report that the government might move | new quarters as a result of the al most continuous Nazi aerial bonn bardment and severe lighting 6 miles to the north Of the capita Columns of smoke plumed ove Warsaw as fires were started by tn raidlng planes.
