The British Ambassador who was formerly in Warsaw, Sir Howard Kennard, has gone-to Paris as Ambassador to General Sikorski’s Government. A new Polish Minister, IM. August Zaleski, will visit London next week for a few days, during which time he wilt have conversations with the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, and other members of the War Cabinet. An otlicial statement has been made in Berlin that a remnant of 8000 of the Polish Army, including General Kleber, has laid down its arms near Kock.
Germans are replacing Russians in the north Polish salient bounded oa the east by Prussia and Lithuania. The latter thus have a common frontier with Germany twice as long as before the war.
