De Gaulle, Undersecretary of Richard James Meller, 67, a barrister and member of Parliament announced, was one from Gen. Eugene Mittelhauser, the French Commander in Chief in Syria, who proclaimed determination of his forces to fight on. French residents of Saigon, French Indo-China, demonstrated publicly this morning, urging that France accept the British offer of political union and continue the war together, Reuters, British' news agency, said. At Shanghai the French colony dispatched a message to the French Government at Bordeaux, advocating continued resistance to Germany and solidarity with the Allied cause.

While the British Government published the pledges of vigorous French colonial support the Admiralty announced the sinking of another Italian submarine by light naval forces operating un since 1923, died Sunday. He was knighted in 1933. War in Premier Paul Reynaud's continued support had reached London from French colonial possessions. The armistice grants the French Government the choice of returning to German occupied Paris or operating from any seat in unoccupied territory.

On the French Government was placed the burden of forcing millions of refugees to return to their homes in territory already swept by the blitzkrieg. COMPLETE CAPITULATION.

No clue is given as to terms of peace but It seems clear that Germany has no intention of discussing peace at the present stage.

In a word, the terms of the armistice exact the complete capitulation of France. VIOLATION CHARGED. Baudouin, Marshal Petain's Minister for Foreign Affairs, declared a few days ago that France would not accept humiliating or shameful terms. It is difficult to see how the terms could be more humiliating, or what could be more shameful than to hand over material and territory for war against an ally with whom France has a solemn agreement not to conclude peace. "This treaty, as well as M.

Baudouin's undertaking, have been violated by Marshal Petain's Government and their breach of faith is bitterly resented and condemned, not only by all Frenchmen overseas, but also by masses of Frenchmen at home, who have been prevented by the action of the Government from following the example given by other victims of German aggression and from continuing their struggle against the common enemy in circumstances which held out good hope of final victory. "Meanwhile, as Prime Minister Churchill has said, Great Britain will cherish the cause of the French people and a British victory Is the only possible hope for the restoration of the greatness of France and the freedom of Its people."
