It seems to have been established that Himmler, the Gestapo chief, on behalf of the German High Command, made an offer of surrender to the United States and Great Britain, and was told that he must surrender to the three AlliesRussia, the United States and Great Britain.

An offer to these powers is said to be on the way. Negotiations are reported to have been taking place with Count Bernadotte, head of the Swedish Red Cross, as the messenger, the Count travelling from Denmark to Sweden where he has been in touch with Allied representatives. Hitler is reported to have been killed Tuesday afternoon in Berlin, but most observers are sceptical of this story. Several more junctions have been made by the United States armies with the Russian troops south of Berlin, and the British 2nd Army is driving towards Rostock and a junction with the Russians to the north of the city. Only a small area of Berlin is still in German hands and its complete capture is expected any minute.

A number of German prison camps and concentration camps have been captured by the advancing Allied troops, and thousands of prisoners have been freed. Many thousands of slave laborers who have been employed in Germany have also been freed and are roaming the country. The concentration camps been inspected by various parties, including one of United States congressmen which visited the notorious Buchenwald. MajorGeneral George J. Vanier, Canadian ambassador to Paris, accompanied this party and gave an impressive report over the CBC Tuesday evening of what he had seen, which, said, was worse than anything Canadians had seen or heard earlier.

At San Francisco on Saturday evening, Senator Tom Connally, head of the Senate Foreign Affairs committee, stated that Germany had surrendered. The report was flashed across the continent in a few seconds and premature celebrations occurred in many places in the United States and Canada. President Truman issued a denial later in the evening. The German forces in Italy have been routed and the Allied Armies asissted by the Italian patriots are advancing almost at will. The capture and killing of Benito Mussolini AWARDED D.F.C.
