The second day of this almost Wellsian attack, directed at (Vibourg) Viipurl, an objective 20 miles distant which thc Sov- lct Army has been unable in roach in nine weeks of war, got nowhere, Finnish military ad- vices asserted.

will form the basis 0f a “world declaration” expected i0 be made by the Allied Governments, Havzis News Agency was informed tonight.

The declaration is expected to pledge that drastic punishment will be meted out at the conclusion of the war to the German leaders responsible for the atrocities in Po- land. 1t was understood that consultations now are under wtziy between London and Paris on the text of the declar- a ion.

Authoritative British and French quarters said the neutral sources furnishing reports on the situation in P0- land are above suspicion. They said the estimates of the number of civilian deaths in Poland since last Sept. 1 vary between a, low of 2,000,000 and a high of 5,000,000.

TRAGIC FIGURES The tragic figures are explained by the drastic stand

Oct. 7, 1939, Hans Frank, German Governor-General of P0- lzmd, issued an order stating that all Poles must submit to German authority. “Wcr sich nicht fught ist verloren,” (who will not submit is lost), the Governor-Generafs order concluded. Two weeks earlier Arthur Greiser, Statthalter for Poscn and Gauleiter of the Warthe district, declared: “We have come as masters and the Poles must be our slaves."

Early in October, it was learned, German authorities in the conquered territory issued orders to all police and army officials to shoot:—
