(Received September 21, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, September 20.
It is reported from Budapest that the Germans claim that there is no Polish resistance except to the south of Warsaw and at the fortress of Modlin.
A typhoid epidemic' has brdken out in Galicia after the destruction of the sanitation system and the water supply. The Russians are reported to have bombed the Polish town of Buczazc. More than 3000 Polish infantrymen crossed the Uzosk Pass in bitter cold, bearing tales of terror instituted by roving bands of Ukrainians and White Russians which are sweeping the countryside. Over 20,000 civilians are now taking refuge in Hungary. A most pitiful sight was presented by scantily clad children, many of whom Hungarian soldiers wrapped in their great-, coats.
