Rome, Sept. 2O.-(AP)-Prcmier
Mussolini's newspaper, II Popolo

appeal to Britain and France to come
to terms with Germany. It called the
war in the west useless"
italian sensibility, tempered by
thousands Of years, again points out
the right road" the paper said, re-
made in Rome.
''The whole civilized world may
once more see how correct were the
vision and proposals Of Rome" the
paper declared. "The war was as
disastrous for Poland as it was tragi-
cally useless. Now that that predic-
ton is fulfilled in the east, the same
word Of good sense may be repeated
for the west"
Italy announced the withdrawal of
her troops from the Greek
frontier as evidence Of 'complete re-
ciprocal trust between Italy and
Greece.
The gesture came as Italy appear
ed to be sOlidifying her position as
leader Of the neutral states of south
ern Europe.
"The Italian government and the
Greek government, in the present
European situation, have agreed up
on the utility of examining relations
between the two countries, and are
happy to state that they continue to
be sincerely friendly, and inspired by
complete reciprocal trust" the COM
munique said.
'The concrete proof of this senti-

Germany and Russia Agree On
Partition of Polish Region
Germans to Retire
From Present Posi-
ton After "Destruc-

Armies; w ars a w
Still Is Holding Out.

Berlin, Sept. 2o.-(AP)-The
supreme high command disclosed
today that Germany and Soviet
Russia have reacned an agreement
on the partition Of Poland, ut least
so far as their armies Of occupation
are concerned. That the demarka-
ton line has been set was an
nounced in 4 nigh command COM
munique, which, however, did not
say where The line runs.
It asserted the German :..orces
would withdraw rom their present
positions after "destruction Of the
last remnants Of the Polish army
there, "to the "demarkation line
definitely fixed between the Ger
man 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 ..,'un-
ming from Stryj, in northeast 2o-
land, north near the industrial city
OF LWoW, thence almost straight
north to Brzesc, about 100 miles
from the Soviet frontier, and up
to BialystOl, about $50 miles from
the Russian border.
The entire Roumanian frontier
bordering southeast Poland is in
Russian hands. Presumably as the
Germans retire, the ed army will
take their place by ;dvancing
westward from their present posi-
tons. Whether the army occupa-
ton 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. Germany's 'lightning war"
was considered here at an end, ex-
cept for mopping up activities in
Poland. The Poles. however, we're
still fighting in the south and near
a fortified town Immediately :lorth
Of Warsaw. Warsaw Itself also mas
not capitulated to German arms.
