General de Gaulle entered Paris at seven o'clock last evening. He was received at the Prefecture of Police and at the Hotel de Ville by the new Prefect. In a speech-last night he said: "We will not rest until we march, as we must, into enemy territory as conquerors." It was.

officially announced last night that American patrols, probably striking from, Sens, have reached Troyes, which is 90 miles south-east of Paris, and less than 140 miles from the German frontier. There was a German report last night that another Allied column has reached Rheims, 80 miles north-east of Paris, but there is no confirmation of this. South- of Paris we hold the line of the Seine to a point between Ville Neuve St. Georges and Corbeil (a little north of Melon). Paris itself is within sight of becoming the base of an all-out drive to sweep the enemy north-east and east to his own borders and beyond.

The Germans to the south and west of the Seine are being swept to destruction. The two hinges of the triangle based on the Seine which they hold have been obliterated. At one end the Canadians sweeping beyond Honneur. on tne beme estuary opposite Le Havre, have reached the mouth of the Morello River three miles beyond the town, RISLE CROSSED The last defensive line before the Seine, the Risle River, has been crossed in force at six points, and the opposite end of the triangle, Elbeuf, is in the hands of the Americans. Six miles beyond Elbeuf the Americans are in contact with Cana dian forces, and the Canadian and British armies, moving east, and the Americans, moving north-west, are in general contact and are criss-crossing each other to such an extent that frequently all three are reported to be in the same places.

We have liberated Montereau and Montafgis and the enemy is in retreat north east from Montargis. We are across the Seine in the area of Melun. There were continuous air attacks along the line of the Seine. Up to 6 p.m. yesterday Ninth Air Force fighters and fighter-bombers flew 500 sorties, destroying 41 enemy 'aircraft, with six "probables" and 21 damaged.

Eighteen Allied 'planes are reported lost. They destroyed 138 motor transports and 54 tanks and damaged 50 tanks. There were two direct hits on the Seme bridge at Oissel. The Second Tactical Air Force hit a number of Seine ferry crossings and Mitchells and Bostons were still bombing the Seine last night. Small vessels used by the Sieppe many, Bucharest has been heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, and after heavy the city's airfield is Rumanian hands; These developments were announced last night by Bucharest radio, which claimed that the whole of the capital has been liberated from the Germans." Bucharest radio broadcast the' fol lowing proclamation last night: On the basis of his Majesty's proclama tion the new Government Informed the German Legation and the German Army Command in Rumania that our country desired to liquidate in good understanding her relations with Germany and that the Rumanian Army, determined to 'defend itself, would not' undertake on its own initiative any hostile act against Germany.

The Rumanian Government declared at the same time that- it would, allow the orderly withdrawal of the German trooDS which are ready voluntarily to leave our territory. After reassurances as solemn as iney were peracuous given oy tne commanders of the German Army to the effect that no hostile action would be taken against our troops, German units attacked ana xnea to aisarm Kumanian units. Tney even machine-gunned the peaceful papula- hw ut villages gga iae capi uu. ai me same time tne uerman Air Force in strength bombed the capital, and other towns, destroying non-military objectives. aiming particularly at the royal palace, and inflicting numerous casualties on the civilian population.

i By these acts of aggression, which occurred simultaneously in various parts of the country. Germany has placed herself in a state of war with Rumania. The Government therefore orders the Rumanian Army begin the struggle against all German military forces on "Rumanian territory for the liberation of ine country from German usurpation. The Government is certain that the Rumanian Army will fight with a gallantry worthy of our glorious history and that the civilian population. will support the Rumanian Army.

LUFTWAFFE'S ATTACK After the Government proclama tion (says Reuter) a statement by Mr. Maniu, the Peasant leader, was broad cast He said that Rumanians had sacrificed over 600,000 men for the sake of German interests. The German commanders had first sug gested that they would order their troops to withdraw to avoid blood shed. When however they reached their units they ordered them to march against Bucharest and to bomb the royal palace, where they' knew the King was. The Rumanian people would use every means at their disposal to be masters in their own country.

Bucharest radio stated last night that the whole of the capital had now been liberated from the Germans. Bucharest airfield was now in the hands -of the Rumanian Guard after heavy fighting. A further announcement said To-day after a mass bombardment by Stuka dive-bombers German troops attempted to capture the Baneasa Airfield. near uucnarest, out ail tneir attacks were repelled by Royal Guards regiments with very heavy losses to the Germans. Big German guns and are littering the roads leading from Baneasa to Bucharest.

At 11 a.m. Baneasa village and airfield fell Into our hands. The capital was thus completely liberated from the German formations, many of which were completely wited out. According to the intent news the last German strong in the country are giving in. wnoie groups oi German soldiers are laying down their arms and surrendering to our troops.

BULGARIA'S REQUEST Bulgarian proposals for an armistice are being examined in London and in Washington. But while military and political developments in South-east Europe may be swift, some time must pass before Rumania, under her new Government, can realign her forces and before Allied armistice terms can be communicated to Bulgaria. -It is recognised in London that Drac- tical considerations are such that it is the Russian Government which should primarily deal with Rumanian armistice affairs. The Rumanian situation is naturally causing alarm in Hungary. A reshuffle of the Hungarian Government was reported by the Berlin Foreign Office spokesman yesterday-rone of several measures that have had to be taken owing to certain internal political tensions which had appeared in Hungary recently." A Swiss report, quoted by Renter, says that Ribben-trop is in Budapest.

SOVIET ATTITUDE From our Special Correspondent Moscow, August 25. King Michael's proclamation of Rumania's surrender and wish to help the Allies had a quick response from Moscow. The statement from the Commissariat of 'Affairs issued this moraine and given in yesterday's "Manchester is an eminentlv prac tical warrmv weicomea in United Jfanons diplomatic quarters here. It. Is understood that the Soviet Government has been in close and constant consultation with the British and American Govern ments on the' matter: It Is-indeed the putting into practice of Mr.

Churchill's nrinaolc. that satellite nations must work their passage to the ranks of the United Nations." In so far as How the Allies Were Welcomed JOY AND tumut Tbew dispatches wore filed before the of the German- fmnisoa's mi louder From Bobert Renter's Special Correspondent Pams, -AuGTisr 25. Paris to-day is a city of wild tumult and celebration. The tumult is the battle. It is not yet over, for the Germans'" still remain, in control of key sections.

I slept in an hotel near Paris last night, but all night long Parisians and French troops hunted the Germans with a ferocity harsher than anything yet seen in France, while all night long guns fired in the battle. French people walking from the central sector of Paris, which is reported to be still controlled by 9,000 German said that fig'hting was still con-' tinuing. Allied tanks are pouring into the city, and the French and American troops are receiving a The reported armistice was never definite and was not observed- by the Germans. SLAUGHTER ON A BRIDGE One Seine bridge was littered with dead Germans this Piling into cars, they tried to break through our tank guard on the bridge to reach safety. Their vehicles form a long line of still burning wreckage.

In a park near by small groups of beleaguered Germans chose to fight it out rather than surrender. To-day they are dead. So confused are the Germans that once a German officer and two soldiers approached our tanks to ask questions before they realised that they were-not German tanks. The Americans are barricading themselves around the Majestic Hotel, digging in on the Longchamps Racecourse, and even digRhK trenches in the city streets. rvsntto thp food shortaee.

For 48 hours the Paris suburbs have been packed with refugees all anxious to return to their homes. CITIZENS IGNORE THE SHELLS Dancing Amid Battle From John Wilhelm, Renter's Special Correspondent Entering Paris, August 25.

Under a vivid blue sky and hot August sun, Allied armour fought its way into Paris to-day. Paris is liber ated after four long yers but Paris is not free of war. German artillery is at present en sconced on the far side of the French laying down shells and blanketing our advancing column. Bursts of shrapqel and shooting. flames are everywhere.

But, unmindful of all of it, the French, who have stayed up all night to greet the joxously dance amid the actual fighting at the risk of their lives. One Allied tank blew up from a direct hit by the -Germans, and ammunition stores inside continued to explode for several minutes, much to the hazard of civilians rushing out hysterically to greet, the soldiers. One war photographer, who was risking his life to secure actual pictures of the troops fighting their way into Paris, said in a disgruntled tone This is a fine show. Even if eet out alive with the pictures. tbey will look phoney because ot these crarv civilians running about as if the tanks were not firing." Reports had said that the entire area was Heavily mined and this was prob ably the reason we moved un south of Versailles on what was ordinarily a side-road.

Armoured cavalry reconnaissance units, wheeling ahead of the tanks, had the lob of clearine the mines with the aid of the Engineers, and the safe arrival of the tanks at the citv limits was a tribute to fast clearing, for me irermans naa done wen tne mining. "TO THE BARRICADES General Joinvflle, Chief of the National General Staff of the F.F.L. yesterday broadcast over the "F.F.I, radio in Paris this dramatic call to the citizens All to the Barricades! All to the fight! Parisians, forward!" The JJ. radio says that the National General Staff has issued orders that anybody ''apprehended in the act of looting material abandoned. by the enemy will be immediately shot in the public hiaa-way.

The captured included one divisional general.

General Malinovsky's and General Tolbukhin's armies have linked up on the Pruth- at a place about 50 miles north-east of Galatz. Last night the German News Agency declared that advance Russian units had reached the Danube Delta, but so far there is no confirmation of this from Moscow. The communique stated, however, that over 200 more places had been captured in Rumania and over 350 in Bessarabia. There was good news also from the Baltic front.

Last night's routine Russian communique, after repeating the announcement of the storming of Dorpat, added Sixty other inhabited localities were also captured, including the town of Elva. South of Lomza (north-east of Warsaw) our troops fought their way forward and occupied more than forty inhabited localities. East and north-east oi Praga our troops successfully repelled enemy attacks and.

Troops of this front, advancing along the eastern bank of the River Pruth. linked up with the troops of the Third Ukrainian Front in the area of Lapu.sna-Le'useni. Troops of the Third Ukrainian Front, developing their successful offensive, reached the River Pruth on the sector between Leuseni and Cahul.

In the course of the offensive they captured over 200 inhabited localities, including the district centres of Leova and Cahui. In the course of their successful offen-flve the forces of the Second and. Th'rd Ukrainian fronts encircled a German grouping consisting twelve German divisions south-west of'Chlslnsu. All attempts made by the enemy to fight their way out of the encirclement in a southerly direction daring two days were frustrated. In two days more than 13.000 enemy officers and men surrendered to our troop.

The fighting for the liquidation cf this German force continues. On the other sectors of the front there was reconnaissance activity and at some points fighting of local importance. During August 24 on all fronts 101 German tanks-were destroyed or disabled and twelve enemy aircraft shot down In air combat or by AA- fire. The communique gave details of the great quantities of war material which had been captured or destroyed, including 200 'planes. 6B4 tanks and self-propelled guns, and 2.330 mortars.

The link between the two armies was made after the British troops had crossed the River Risle, and reached Bourgedessus, some eight miles south of Brionne. South of Brionne there is no longer any line on which the Germans retreating to the Seine can make even a temporary halt.

It is a race for the Seine crossings. The capture of Honneur means that our troops now dominate the mouth of the Seine and have gravely increased the threat to the uermans in JLe Havre. Taking distances as the crow flies. the new German pocket west of the Seine' has now been reduced to an area smaller than the original pocket west of Falaise. The Allies are reducing it so rapidly that they are not stopping to count their prisoners.

The new pocket is an irreeular- shaped area, measuring approximately 15 miles by 20 by 28, bounded by the Seine on the east, by the Risle on the west, and by an indefinite line from Elbeuf to Brionne on the south. The fluidity of the situation is indicated by the news that British and Ameri can patrols are in the area of Brionne and by a report that American and Canadian 'troops are in contact south oi uerman resistance in retreat entirely spasmodic When they stand ana ngnt at any point they are immediately brushed aside or bv-' passed and left to be mopped up by otner Allied elements.

BREST A general land assault may now be in' full swing against Brest, the big Breton port, which 'was heavily bombed yesterday by 300 American Marauders and Havocs. The German commentator Sertorlus said last night There are now nothing but rearguards of the Seventh German Army left south and west of the Seine.

The disengagement of the German troops from Normandy which, under the prevailing circumstances, tested to the utmost both men and leadership is undoubtedly nearing its end. The bulk of the Seventh German Armv has crossed the Lower Seine. The German rearguards are putting uo.a stubborn ficht."

Several attrrnnts bv strong aiomis of French terrorists to re with these movements were repelled." Rambouiixet, August 25.

American and French forces early this morning began an attack on the main German positions covering Versailles and Paris. At the same time news brought by refugees through the lines from the French capital indicates that fighting continues within the city itself, though it is not clear whether the Germans' motive in renewing their attacks against the is based on the hope ofcrushing resistance once and for all within Paris or whether "it has the much more limited object of giving the Germans time to get as much material and men away from Paris us they can, and also, no doubt, to prepare extensive demolitions. This morning's attack started at seven o'clock, in a heavy, warm summer drizzle. The main position against which it was directed is centred on Trappes, four miles southwest of Versailles, where the enemy has a "strong screen covering the principal roads from the west, southwest. -and south.

These are three in number, the first coming east from Dreux, the second south-east from Rambouillet, and the third running first east through Chevreuse and then turning north into Versailles some six miles away. parts of the He de France is marching forward and organising itself to fight with its comrades from other regions from which the new French Army will emerge which will definitely win emerge wnicn win aenmteiy chase the invader off French soil and intn its tr. it into its territory to smash its regime of oppression. Vive De Vive les F.F.I. La France In front of this main position the Germans, as is their habit, have outposts.

Yesterday evening our advanced forces fought with one of those just north of Le Perray, on the Rambouillet-Versailles road. The strength of the force holding this position was estimated at 200 men, with four tanks, which is typical for this kind of battle group. This fighting last night took place in the heart of the Forest of Rambouillet, where the kings of France used to hunt, and of course excellent cover was provided for that ubiquitous German weapon the 88mm. gun. Whilst fighting was in progress the countryside behind the lines was en fete.

As we drove forward literally the entire population of towns and villages on the route or anywhere near the route of the Allied advance stood on the roadside to watch us go by and to cheer us on with the greatest' possible enthusiasm. This was due partly, at any rate; to the presence with us of large French units, of whom a party of sailors got by far the most noisy cheers-the first tune France naa had a chance ot greeting- her Navy for four years. In the general welter of applause there were even cries of Vive -la Fresse as our jeep went by full of flowers. which they believe to be key noints held by the Resistance Movement. German tanks are roving round the city infiictinjc indiscriminate punishment on th citizens.

But- the F.FJ. hits back. It is inflicting many casualties on the enemy. The Germans seem to be doing the utmost last-minute damage to the capital that they can manage. They burned down the Grand Palais, in which a circus was housed, yesterday.

Their excuse apparently was that German soldiers were fired on and the snots came from the direction of the Grand Palais. The Hotel de Ville was damaged on Tuesday when in a battle the Resistance forces made many prisoners. FJU. HOLD SEINE BANKS The 5F-I- bold on the- city is extensive.
