LONDON, Sept. 20.-Kermit
Roosevelt, son of Theodore Roose-
welt and former vice president of
the United States Lines, will serve
the allies in the present war as an
official in the British ministry of
shipping.
Mr., Roosevelt is now in London
and today is expected to have his
nationality changed by special order,
making him a British citizen. AS
an American he could not legally
accept a position with the British
government in wartime.
Mr.. Roosevelt is understood to
have been placed at the ministry OF
shipping through the personal in
fluence of Winston Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty and an old
family friend.
During the World War, Mr.. Roose-
welt was a captain in the British
Army, and served with motor ma
chine gun unit in Mesopotamia. He
was transferred to the Field Artillery
of the United States Army after
the United States entered the war.
Mr.. Roosevelt accompanied his
father on his famous hunting ex-
pedition to Africa, and on his ex-
ploration of the River of Doubt in
Brazil. In later years Mr.. Roose-
welt wrote many books including a

Joseph Curran, president of the

Porty Leaders Meet
At White House
This Afternoon
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Seeking a very free and frank
discussion" of American foreign
policy, President Roosevelt prepared
today to receive Is of the Nations
leading legislators and statesmen at
an extraordinary White House con-
ference at 3 o'clock.
Making no appointment prior to
the on-partisan meeting, the Presi-
dent remained at the White House
proper this morning to work out
an agenda for the momentous con-
ference He planned also, if time
permitted, to continue working on
his message to be delivered to the
special session of Congress conven-
ing here at noon tomorrow.
Both Parties Represented.
The group invited to meet with
the Chief Executive includes con-
gressional chieftains of both Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, Secre-
tary of State Hull and the titular
political heads of the Republican
party, Alf M. Landon and Col Frank
Knox. White House Secretary Ste
phen Early said this morning that
some of this group may be given
pre-conference appointments with
the President if they desire, but that
none had been requested up to
II am.
Thus far, the precise nature of the
conference has been undisclosed, ex-
cept for the broad explanation of
White House spokesmen that it will
deal with the legislative program of
the special session of Congress con-
vening tomorrow for the express
purpose of reviewing our Neutrality
Act. Exactly what the administra-
ton desires done in revision of this
statute is to be revealed publicly by
the President in his message to the
special session. The assembled
leaders probably will be informed
today, with plea made for speedy
and united action.
Outright Repeal Possible.

quests of last summer, it is believed
certain that repeal of the arms en-
barge will be the initial objective,
perhaps with a substitution of a
cash-and-carry provision applicable
to exports to all belligerents.
1t is possible, however. that out
right repeal of the entire statute
may be proposed in favor of re-
turn to international law. President
Roosevelt has declined at recent
press conferences to say whether
such a course would be satisfactory
to the administration.
Secretary Hull told his press con-
ference yesterday his views remain
fundamentally the same" as when
he suggested to Congress last July
that the arms embargo should be
repealed on the grounds it was "un-
neutral"

BERLIN, Sept. 20.-The supreme
high command disclosed today that
Germany and Soviet Russia have
reached an agreement on the parti-
ton of Poland at least so far as
their armies of occupation are con-
cerned.
That the demarcation line has
been set was announced in a high
command communique, which, how
ever, did not say where the line
runs.
1t asserted the German forces
would withdraw from their present
positions after destruction OF the
last remnants of the Polish Army

nitely fixed between the German
and Russian governments"
Whether this line lies east or west
of Warsaw was not indicated. The
communique said German forces
had advanced to a line running
from Stryj, in Southeast Poland.

Lwow, thence almost straight north

Whether the army occupation areas
later will become the new boundaries
between Germany and Russia was
a moot question. Informed quarters
intimated this question was not yet
completely solved.
Four German Army officers ar
rived by plane in Moscow to take
part in consultations, presumably
concerning the future of Poland. The
Moscow communique reported the
Russian occupation of both Lwow, in
the southeast, and Wilno, in North

Poles Still Fighting.
Germany's "bhtzkrieg" lightning

except for mopping-up activities in
Poland. The Poles, however, were
still fighting in and south OF the
fortified town of Modlin, Immediately
north of Warsaw Warsaw itself also
has not capitulated to German arms.
The handful of Polish troops who
gave the Germans some trouble yes

Gdynia, Polish port at the end of
the Corridor, gave up last night un-

cadet ship Schleswig Holstein and

thousand prisoners were reported

Kutno and the Bzura River, about
IS miles west of Warsaw, which end
ed yesterday was termed by the
high command lone of the biggest
destructive battles of all times The
number of captives was reported at
los, 900 and still growing. The
amount of war materials seized was
said to be enormous.
The strength of the Poles fighting
resistance surprised even German
officers, who first calculated the
enemy had $4,000 or 10000 men ap-
ticipating in the nine-day battle
This apparently was the largest
grouping of troops the Poles brought
together on any single battlefield of
the war.
