GERMANS FINALLY ADMIT CLASHES WITH FRENCHMEN (Continued From Page One) was expected to be incorporated In tomorrow's communique. The riddle of German claims to having entered Warsaw was explained, at least in part, by a government spokesman who said motorized forces penetrated to the center of the Polish capital yesterday and then met the difficulty of German troops everywhere in Po land sniping.

The spokesman said that was a spearhead detachment and it was considered wise to withdraw to the city's outskirts while awaiting matn German forces heading toward Warsaw from the north, west and south. SNIPING IS CHARGED Authorities took the position that once sniping begins a city must De regaraea as openea to me invading forces. The western front communlcjue confirmed previous reports that an undisclosed number of French planes encountered Ocrman aerial fighters. Three French planes were said to have been shot down. A French vanguard sustained heavy losses in the skirmishes on an unnamed section of the western front, the high command reported.

Nothing was said about how the Narts fared. The smashing drive through Poland continued, but Oerman ears already are slightly ralloiwed by continuous reports of victorious operations there. Not even the most sanguine Oermans had expected such complete routing of Polish forces. Annarentlv the tactics so success fully employed In other parts of Poland are expected by the Oermans to prove effective at Warsaw also. There, as elsewhere, they are forming a vise and at the same time endeavorlne to cut the enemy off from possible retreat to the east or southeast.

AIRFORCK IS POWERFUL It apparent from the communique on operations In Poland that the alrforce again was playing an important part by blocking the roads with well-aimed bomba, destroying sections of railroads and blowing to bits such ground organisations and plants as the Polish air force still had In the Lonua section. The euerloaure of active fighting between French and Oermsna gave answer to an anxious Question which has been on many Oerman lips these days: "Do the western powers really mean business or may we yet hope that with Poland defeated thev would deem It the better part wisdom to come to a bloodless arrangement with Oermanv?" That hope seemed doomed to disappointment. Parallel with Oermsnv'a drive throuBh Poland, a diplomatic offensive of prime dimensions has been on foot to wean the French away from Premier Mussolini of Italv was tindertood to be.Oermanv's "honest broker" and In frequent toucn with French Premier Dalariier The rumor continued that Fran von Pa pen.

Field Marshal Hermann Wtlhetm Ooerlng'a speech vesferd was per-hapa the moat Impressive example SPECIAL SESSION CONGRESS CALL IS SLATED THIS WEEK (Continued From Page One) been sounding out both republican and democratic leaders in Congress. In some quarters, there was a belief that the President was waiting for the legislators to learn the sentiments of their constituents on revocation of the arms embargo. Admin-isration officials have said privately there was no doubt how most of the people felt, now that war actually has begun in Europe. Nevertheless, the chief executive has been described as somewhat apprehensive of the reaction abroad to a prolonged discussion of neutrality on Capitol Hill. WRONG INTERPRETATIONS In that connection, it was pointed out that England, France and Poland might interpret oratorical advocacy of repeal as showing sympathy for their cause, while Germany might consider a speech in favor of retention as helpful to her.

But it was understood the chief executive felt that the session could be delayed no longer, and consequently was ready to take his chances on what might happen in Congress and the reception legislative activities wlll receive abroad.
