The German High Command claimed to have taken San Quentin (which Paris denied) and pushed on toward Cambrai and Peronne after repulsing a French-Belgian counterattack with heavy losses near Maubeuge. This advance, according to the Germans, put their tanks and armored cars almost within striking distance of England. The High Command in Berlin, however, did not dispute French statements that the Germans had failed to push past the Rethel front, some 65 miles from Paris, although |! it said that a French counter attack from Laon and been | repulsed.

WHEN HITLER'S A ‘SURE THING’
Waits Outcome of Drive to Paris and Channel, Simms Says.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor PARIS, May 20. — Troop move= ments in Italy, from which I have just come, indicate that Mussolini is getting ready to enter the war as soon as he is convinced that Hitler will win the colossal struggle
for the channel ports and Paris. Between Rome and the French border I saw no military trains as such, but every train carried large numbers of officers and men, apparently hurrying to rejoin their units. There were also many new recruits on their way to join the colors. There was nothing at the border to indicate that hostilities against France are imminent, though the passes are heavily guarded.
Passes Heavily Guarded’
A report current in Rome is that Hitler told Mussolini, at their recent Brenner Pass meeting, that he
As soon as tack by tank columns seeking to, Would not need armed assistance
at the outset of total war—that Italy could best serve the axis by helping to keep the Balkans in line, thus protecting Germany's southeastern flank. This Mussolini is now doing, and as a result Germany is obtaining maximum supe plies from that area. War in the Balkans, therefors, would hurt rather than help Germany as long as the outcome of the battle on the Western Front remains in doubt. Once that issue is decided to Il Duce’s satisfaction, however, Italy is expected to come into the war, be it soon or late.
Italy Packs Equipment
This, at any rate, is the consen= sus among qualified observers in Rome. They are convinced that Italy lacks equipment, munitions and raw materials for waging more than a few months of war. About a million and a half men are mobilized, but some of these are said to be without proper equipment, including uniforms. But Italy has an excellent air force and fairly good fleet, and so could give a good account of herself —as long as supplies held out, which is said to be why Mussolini is de=-
