BY FRANK COLBY.
EDOUARD DALADIER,
Premier of France.

Do not refer to the head Of the

Della Dear" Nor is his name del

though one Of the two is sure to be
the choice of the swarms of Ameri-
can newspaper men and radio COM
mentators who cluster frantically
about every European and United
States microphone.
(The title Premier, when used in
connection with M. Daladier, should
be given the French pronunciation
"pr'm-YAY." Otherwise, pronounce
1t "PREE-mi-er.D
This column will not attempt to
give the correct pronunciation OF
monsieur. There are no sounds in
English phonetics with which to do
the job accurately. But we can
advise the reader to consult a
French-speaking friend for coach
ing en the word. In the meantime,
We recommend strongly that you do
not make yourself ridiculous with
''mon-sewer" or 'mesher."
Accent Edouard on the second
syllable. In French the penultimate
syllable is never accented. Note
that the first syllable of Daladier IS
not Del but Da-. The final "r" Is
silent. Accent the third syllable.

EdOuard: Ed-WAHRD.
Daladier: Dah-lahd-YAY.

Nearly Half Of Poland

approximately half of Poland's 150,-

Smashing into Poland from the
north, south and west and blasting
down from the air, Hitler's war
riors today were straddling the main
highway running literally through
the middle of Poland after mo-
torized occupation of all of Western
Poland except for the desperately
defended area containing Warsaw,
which still was jutting into Nazi-
conquered territory.
Polish Losses Believed High.
The Germans swift advances and
the disorganization of Poland's civil
government, with its resultant lack
of official statistics. made an eStl-
mate of casualties in the first fort (,
night of the war a mere guess.
From all available information,
however, Polish military losses were
high. The civilian population
throughout the battle zone and be-
hind the lines also was said to have
suffered severely in death, injuries
and property destruction.
The Polish government and dip
lomatic corps were at Zaleszczyki,
on the Dniester River at the Ru-
manian frontier, according to a re-
port by Stefani, official Italian news
agency.
The report said that if this far
therest corner of Southeastern Po-
land should become unsafe the Po-
Ish officials were ready to flee into
Rumania.
The pressure of the German
mechanical drive previously had
forced the government from Warsaw
to Lublin and then to KrZemieniec.
Poland Cut in Half
The Poles admitted today that a
German mechanized force held
Zamosc. on the main highway be-
tween Lublin and Lwow. with at
tacks continuing against Warsaw
and LWoW.
This meant that Poland had been
split in half, with the greater por-
ton of its population of 33,000,000

cupied territory, or fleeing toward
Hungary, Rumania and Latvia.
The most Intense German ottack c
today were aimed at Warsaw and
LWoW, Poland's two largest cities.
with the Germans tactics indicating
they were seeking to outf1ank both
cities by engulfing them gradually
by drives from the north and south.
Observers were amazed by the
speedy transformation of Zamosc
from a peaceful. almost medieval
town into a battlefield.

When President Roosevelt renewed assurance that the
