worthy, whose hobby Of flower
arrangements is so we'll known In
Tacoma, arranged the proftIsion Of
carly summer flowers which wer,
all about the drawing room Of the
home. On the mantel a spreading
arrangement was used Of white
peonies and flame peoples. In sd.
dition TO the many vases of mixed
pastel flowers several baskets Of
mock orange added to the spring
atmosphere.
Clever in its modern arrange
ment was the centerpiece for the
long tea table. Pale pink peonies
were used with deep purple Jspa-
nese iris in low turquoise pot
terry container.

connotstion. and outlined briefly
the pioneering stages of the Ia
coma clinic. in which DR.. Rich was
the first chairman. Cases are taxi
en- only after considerable investi-
cation he said. The children adj
mitted for orthopedic work must
be from families unable To afford
private medical care, and must be
under IA years Of age. Above that
age to 81 years the work is car
ried on by the crippled children's
program of the state and federal
government. Considerably more
than one thousand children have
received treatment in the clinic
since its beginning.
After the tea hour, the guests
were taken through the Rust ward.
where many of the orthopedic pa
tients are taken. and the orthopedic
clinic in which the physiotherapy
work in the pool is handled.
A musical program was arranged
by Mrs. Louis Wersen for the tea
and included a group of songs by
a sextette from Jason Lee under
Miss Kathryn Brunner's direction.
In clever colonial costumes Of blue
and pink with matching poke bon
nets they sang first group Of
Stephen Foster numbers and in
pastel dotted Swiss party dresses
sang two modern numbers. Miss
Beverly Naubert, accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. c. A. Naubert,

to Kielce and then northwest to
near Lodz This line roughly par
allels the line Of the San and Wis
tula Rivers at distance of some
80 miles.
1t is understood here that approx
mately 250,000 Polish troops still re-
main in Western Poland, where the
German Army is attempting to trap
them.
The Germans apparently had not
yet come to grips with the Polish
main line of defense except on the
north. where the German lines still
remain stationary for a third day
on a line parallel with and approx
mately north of the Bug River. The
German advance toward the Polish
main line facing west along the
Vistula and San Rivers continued
today from the southwest, apparent,
ly in the face Of increasing resist
ance.
Although the apparent intention
of the Germans to cut the line of
the Warsaw-Poznan Railroad and
entrap the Polish forces in Western
Poland has apparently been tenn
porarily blocked, there is little
doubt the Poles are fully aware of
the gravity of the situation there
and are withdrawing troops to the
Warsaw front from the whole west
ern area which still remains in
their hands.
1t is not likely the Poles will be
able indefinitely to prevent the Ger
mans from cutting off this great
area of West Poland by continuing
the present pincer movement by
the forces moving southwest from
East Prussia and those moving
northeast on the line from Breslau
to Lodz and on to Warsaw, in the
opinion of military experts When
this juncture happens all of West
ern Poland and whatever forces re-
main there will be lost to the Poles,
to be "mopped up" at leisure by the
Germans.
The pinching of of West Poland
by the Germans represents on a
far grander scale exactly the strate-
gy which won for them the Polish
corridor.
This pinching movement the Ger
mans resumed today with an ad-
vance toward Warsaw from their
western lines south of Lodz. At the
same time the "mopping up" of
Western Poland was begun fronlsthe

German frontier, three main COL
umns heading toward Poznan.
When the advances began today
the Poles still had two lines of rail-
way between threatened Poznan
and Warsaw, one double-tracked.
Both have been bombed repeatedly,
however, and continuation of the
German pincer movement would
soon subject them to artillery fire
as well.
The loss of Western Poland un-
questionably would be a severe blow
to the Poles-second IN severity only
to the loss Of the great industrial
area in the uplands around the
ancient Polish capital, Krakow.
The great fertile plain between
Poznan (the German Poem and
Warsaw, with its network of rivers
and lakes and facilities for travel
by land and water. is regarded as
the cradle of Polish nationality.
The fact that this great plain
offers no natural boundaries or de-

Nv JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

Meeting constantly increasing
Polish resistance at all points, the
German advance, almost unchecked
for days, appeared today to have
definitely slowed down at most i'm
portant points, with heavy fighting
as the price for any future gains.
Yesterdays gains by the Ger
mans were the smallest since their
undeclared war began last week,
being almost negligible except along
the south border of East Prussia,
where the gap between the invad-
ing armies from Prussia toward
Warsaw and those in the Polish
corridor was joined.
Strategical experts here, on the
basis of information from military
observers in the war zone, expressed
Che belief that the Polish with
drawal, which has been going on
in accordance with predetermined
plans, is about at an end, except
In Western Poland, and that from
now on the Germans are going
to find progress increasingly diff
fcult and costly, especially if the
seasonal rains begin by the end of
next week, as they usually do about
September Is.
Rains May Aid Poles.
Facing a determined Polish main
line of resistance. with seasonal
rains converting the earth roads
and fiat fields of the great Polish
plain into a quagmire expected to
bog down the mobility of the Ger
man mechanical columns, observers
here feel that the Nazi lightning
thrust" will be definitely at an end.
Coupled with the increasingly vio-
lent assault on the Siegfried Line,
with the British about to chime in,
the Germans may expect to find
themselves face to face very soon
with difficult situations in both the
East and the West The French
