German armies were smashing a pathway down the
French Atlantic coast toward Bordeaux today and sliced
through the Rhone Valley to strike the French Alpine fortifications in the rear and join hands with advancing Ifalian
soldiers.
At the Same time, Adinival Erich Raeder, commander|:
of the German Navy, inspected naval units along the Dutch, } Belgian and French coasts and, according to-the official news agency, “convinced himself of their preparedness against
England.”
Much more than half of France is now in German hands.
Italian Forces Are Active As the French Government talked over the Italian terms, Premier Benito Mussolini's armies along the Alpine front intensified an offensive begun three days ago. ‘Italy’s 13th war communique said that Italian troops had smashed into French positions near the Swiss frontier, on a 150-mile front between Mont Blanc and the French Riviera. Mussolini’s terms were handed to French plenipotentiaries last night at a secluded villa outside Rome and they were relayed to Bordeaux where Premier Marshal Philippe Petain and his cabinet met under President Lebrun to discuss
them.
* Informed quarters in London said individual French commanders were determined to prevent the fleet from falling into German hands and that various French colonies would not recognize the French capitulation and would fight
on with Britain.
: Gen. Eugene Mittelhauser, commander of the French Near East Army, in Syria, was reported to have decided to
continue the fight.
Berlin Scornful of Move
In Berlin, authorized German spokesmen said that de British move was a last minute attempt to “frighten the remnants of the French Empire colonies into continuing fe- 2

LONDON, June 24 (U. P.). —Following is the text of the German-French armistice, as circulated by the British Ministry of Information:

TOKYO, June 24 (U.

‘the United States.
Soon after Prince Konoye’s resige nation, Masayuk Tani, Foreign Undersecretary, - summoned Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador,
to the Foreign Office and demanded that Britain at once stop the transport to China of all supplies by way of Hongkong and Burma. France had submitted to a similar
|demand as regards Indo-China and
had agreed that Japan send ine spectors to see that its promise was made good. There had been vigorous criticism of the preesnt Cabinet as too weak in its attitude. toward foreign powers and their interests in the Far East.
