This correspondent, who has just reached Amsterdam from Berlin, is able to reveal what most well- informed Germans believe to be the general lines of the plan. Made Every German who has claim to authoritative information is agreed that the plan has been made and that the offer will be forthcoming. They believe that Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Bentto Mussolini have exchanged information and that the offer wiH be put up to Britain and France en a of "letting bad enough alone." The exact details, of course, probably are subject to change depending on last-moment developments. For the present no offer has' been made. Method Told Informants who have close contact with the highest Nazi officials, however, state that the offer will be there is no hitch in expected that it will be worked out in this way.

Within a comparatively short time the 70 divisions of the German army now engaged on the Eastern Front, plus tne bulk of the air force also engaged in the Polish "pacification" operations, can be relieved for duty in the West The bulk of these will be sent to the Italian frontier, putting Germany in a position immediately to strengthen Italy to a point where Mussolini will have tremendous military power to back up diplomatic proposals. Italy then will make her proposals to Britain and France and will be prepared to serve London and Paris with what would be tantamount to a polite ultimatum. Would Repay Mussolini Germany is entirely prepared to repay Mussolini for the help he long has given the reich by supporting his demands on Britain and France. (Italian demands on Britain and France have not been formulated precisely. It has been generally believed, however, that Mussolini wants the French-Italian port of Djibouti, entrance to Italian Ethiopia, made a free port; control of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway; a major voice in the conduct of the Suez Canal, and other concessions in North Africa.)

The Soviet general staff said its forces met resistance. Great Britain and France were in continuous consultation, but both London and Paris were silent on whether the Red invasion would create a state of war among Russia and Britain and France.

Germany, sighting the end of the Polish campaign, was reported rushing troops from Poland to the Western Front, where she is embattled with France and Britain between the powerful Siegfried and Maginot defense lines. Principal Executives Flee Across Rumanian Border ERNAUTI, Rumania, Sept. 18 (Monday) Large sections of the Polish army were pouring across the frontier into Rumania early today following the flight of Pres. Ignace Moscicki and the apparent collapse of the Polish republic. Moscicki arrived during the day with Jozef Beck, foreign minister, and a government party of 56.

Beck immediately arranged to meet with the heads of diplomatic missions to Poland, now established here, and was expected to tell them that their mission was "now ended." The plans of the Polish government, however, were not immediately clear. There were some reports that it would go on to Bucharest, Rumania's capital. The Polish soldiers came with arms and equipment and immediately were disarmed by the Romanian border patrol. Many of the soldiers declared their intention of joining a foreign legion to continue the fight against Germany. By 10 o'clock but night 132 Polish planes had landed groups at Cernaati, and more were landing early today.

Two of the planes crashed. The crush was so great at the small airport that one plane landed on top of three others, destroying all four. The planes and crews were interned. Hundreds of refugees swarmed across the frontier in wagons, automobiles and autobuses. They proceeded to Cernauti where the Rumanian government established rigid inspection service.

German and Russian armies, striking from west and east, steadily overran the crumbling Poland. The Russian invasion blasted the hopes of high Polish officials here that Polish forces could make a stand through the winter in marshes along the Russian border. The national archives and Poland's gold fund already have been brought to Rumania. The Rumanian government notified 37 countries' diplomats accredited to Poland that they must leave their temporary quarters here and go either to Bucharest or home. Dramatic requirements for the meeting of the expected Polish emissaries from Warsaw were outlined by the high command.

Out from the beleaguered capital, the army officer and the diplomatic representative were to ride in separate automobiles. Their protection from the surrounding masses of German troops, lying invisibly in wait in the night, were to be the specified full strength headlights and the white flags fluttering plainly in front of them. They were to proceed until halted. MementeuB Began Sutmilmy Events leading up to the expected capitulation of Warsaw began yesterday. The Warsaw military commander was then reported to have refused to receive a German emissary with an ultimatum that the lay down its arms within 12 hours.

If the ultimatum were refused, civilians were to be given an additional 12 hours to leave the city. These hours of grace, according to the ultimatum, expired at 3 p. m. today and thereafter the city was to be open to unrestricted assault of artillery and aerial bombing. far was known in Berlin, thta was net begun before Ike report of the Polish commander's change of dtaense.

surrender on German Russia's invasion of Eastern Poland, official Berlin sources said, was undertaken in complete agreement with Adolf Hitler. Germany and Russia, these sources added, had been in "closest collaboration." Official quarters would not say how far the Russian troops would penetrate westward. It was intimated, however, that Russian and German armies might greet each other as friends in the vicinity of Lwow (Lemberg) in the South. Brest Litovsk in Central Eastern Poland and Bialystok in the North. UMMMriaM Offer CompUeatioii Unofficial but informed quarters professed to see one complication to such an amicable meeting.

They said they had reports the Lithuanian army might join in administering what all Berlin confidently expected to be Poland's "knockout blow." According to their outline, the Lithuanians would march into Wilno and retake their lost capital that the "rebel" General Zeligowski seized October 10, 1920. Wilno, the birthplace of Marshal Pilsudski, Poland's late general and hero, has been a constant source of dispute since Poland took it 19 years ago. The Lithuanian-Polish frontier has never been settled from the Lithuanian viewpoint. More than 250,000 White Russians, whom Moscow has proclaimed it would "protect" as an underprivileged Polish minority, live in this disputed area.

Noting that the mighty forces of Soviet Russia were marching into Eastern Poland on an 800-mile front, the German high command stated that the capitulation of long- besieged Warsaw was imminent In response to a broadcast appeal for the Polish capital's surrender, the high command reported that the defenders had agreed to dispatch emissaries to the German lines.
