~The victory of the United Nations
and the victroy of France!”
The Germans have capitulated, and the French high command was a party to the act of capitulation, De Gaulle said. War ‘Only Half Won’ President Truman in Washington

on the Japanese. ‘He urged the American people to “work, work, work” and advised the Japanese to surrender. A German high command communique, presumably referring to yesterday's events as usual, said big guns of the German garrisons in the western coastal pockets — La Rochelle, St. Nazaire, Lorient, Dunkerque — “shelled enemy batteries and troop movements.” ‘Evidently this was the last’ communique the high command would issue, since it now was committed to stop fighting. J The high command announced that the greeting “Heil Hitler” no longer would be used in the German army. : Eisenhower Statement
Gen. Eisenhower issued a statement after the signing of the sur: render document at his headquarters. He said: . “In January, 1943; Nac late Presi: dent Roosevelt and Premier Churchfll. announced ‘the formula of -unconditional surrender of the axis powers. : “In Europe that formula has now] been fulfilled. The allied force which invaded Europe on June 6, 1944, has with its great Russian allies and with the forces advancing from the south utterly defeated the Germans by land,” sea’ and -air, “This unconditional surrender has been achieved by team work—team work not only among all the allies participating, but among all the services, land, sea and air, “Deep Appreciation” “To every subordinate that has been in this’ command of almost 5,000,000 allies I owe a gratitude that can never be repaid. . “The only repayment that can be made to them is thz deep appreciation and lasting gratitude of all free citizens of all United Nations.” A supreme headquarters comniunique, :pcssibly the last one of the war, sald Eisenhower's ‘forces had been ordered to cease offensive opcrations, but would maintain their positions until the surrender becomes effective.

Luxembourg,” Bradley said. “They have fought 700 miles from the beaches to conquer. half of Germany and join forces with the Russians. “They have crossed the Czechoslovak border and entered Austria. They have destroyed whole groups of German armies in the west, given hope to the peoples of Europe; and speeded the timetable for our war in the Pacific.” Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, commander of the 21st army group, paid tribute to his own troops and to allied forces. He} sald great problems lie ahead, and much work.
Some Difficulties “I' would say that we must face

If it happens thus;-then-eur discipline will pull us through. . . “It has been a privilege and an honor: to command this’ great British empire team in Western Europe. Few commanders can ‘have had such loyal service as you have given me. I thank each one of you from the bottom of my heart. “And so let us embark on what lies ahead full of joy and optimism. We have won the German war. Let us now win the peace.”

The edge was off the surrender story, released in piecemeal and jumbled fashion. Quiet and Thoughtful
But in the solitude of their homes some mothers wept . softly and offered silent prayers. Governor Gates attended Christ Episcopal church on the Circle at noon, after urging Hoosiers to mark the end of the European war in a “quiet and thoughtful manner.” “Ours is a great victory,” he said, “yet to all of us it must mean the tessation of hostilities on only one front. Our lines of production must not cease. Our subscriptions for war bonds must be increased.” National Commander Edward N.
