Hitler Delivers German Terms (Continued from Page One) assurances "made by the American President and confirmed Dy the Allied wers." "The war," -eitel "was there by concluded an action which was not wanted by the German people and government and in which the enemy was not successful In deci sively vanquishing the German Army, Navy or Air force, "At the moment of the arrival of the -German Armistice Commission began the breach of a solemn-y given promise.

November 11, 1918 began, in this train, the time of suffering of the German people." The preamble in sharp words re-stater Hitler's thesis that Germany toad not lost the war in 1918, that the war was given up by the vacillation and treachery of statesmen in Berlin and that Germany's post-war sufferings stemmed in inevitable consequence from these causes. It was this platform that carried him to power in Germany. Today it restated at Compiegne. "What dishonor and debasement," said the armistice preamble, "what human and material suffering that could be inflicted against a people iwas begun here. I "Perjury and a breach of promise Conspired against a people which after more than four years of his toric resistance succumbed to only a I single weakness belief in the prom jlses of Democratic statesmen.

"September 3, 1939, 25 years after the outbreak of the World War Eng land and France again declared war against Germany without any required inai tne iteicn government make known the German condl- ilons for an armistice. I "If the historic Compiegne Forest has been chosen for handing over these conditions, then it has been done in order, once and for all, i through this act of just retribution, i to eradicate a memory which was pot a glorious page in French his- fory and which was felt by the fierman people to be the deepest shame of an time. "France has been beaten in a series of bloody battles after heroic resistance and has collapsed. Ger many does not intend, therefore, to lend to the armistice conditions or the armistice negotiations the char acter of abuse of so valiant an opponent." The preamble concluded with the recitation of the three terms de rnanded by Germany before an armistice could be signed. The news agency in a dispatch datellned Compiegne the place where the Germans received French armistice terms in November, 1918 declared that Germany's conditions lor cessation of hostilities were banded to the French delegates at 8:30 pjn.

(10:30 am. EDT.) Hitler, himself, headed the Ger-mtn group which met the French emissaries. He was accompanied by his highest aides: Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, Commander-in-Chief of German Sea forces, Marshal Hermann Wil-helm Goering, Commander of the Iperman Air Force, CoL Gen. Walth-er Von Brauchttsch, Commander In Chief the German Army, Gen. Wtthelm Keltel, Chief of the German high command; Joachim Von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minis- ter, and Rudolph Hess, Hitler's De- The setting of the conference was historic.

Germany 22 years ago had her hour of humiliation when she compelled to ask France for Conditions upon which hostilities might be ended. Today the tables turned. French delegates stood where Germany's did in 1918 and Victorious Hitler and his leaders took the parts played 22 years ago by (Marshal Foch and the Allied high command. i The ceremony was opened with the reading by Keitel of a preamble to the armistice conditions which presented Germany's attitude to the armistice which she had been forced to sign in 1918. The conditions upon which Ger- Eany will consent to cessation of tstilities were handed to the French delegates personally by Hitler.

The French plenipotentiaries were: i Gen. Charles Hunteiger, Leon Noel, General Bergeret of the Air Force I Sand Vice Admiral Le Luc of the Navy.

It was reported that Gov.

Gen, Georges Le Beau of Algera and re sident General Marcel Peyrouton had indicated they would be bound by Petain's decision. And Pierre Laval, friend of Premier Benito Mussolini, was said to have assured Petain of Parliamentary support. The British offer of a union of em pires was said now to have been made too late at a time when military, not economic or moral support was the only thing that could have saved Frajvse. NAVY MAY AID BRITISH But reports continued that the French Navy would not be bound by Germany's term, that it was continuing to operate as it has since the outbreak of war under British orders in close liaison with Britain. Spain believed that the present French-German negotations would be limited to an armistice, that no formal peace was to be expected as long as Britain continued to fight.

Italy was drafting its own arm istice terms for France and there were suggestions that Laval might be the French emissary to Italy. The Italian high command claimed great damage by air attacks on the British base of Malta and the French naval base of Bizerta, in North Africa. It said 10 Allied planes and 40 British tanks had been destroyed. The Italian press continued ia give great prominence to dispatch es about the Duke of Windsor, now in Spain with the Duchess. Today's dispatch from Geneva published in Rome claimed that the British army had risen against King George and was demanding the return of the Duke to the throne.

Marshal Petain Calls Cabinet (Continued from rage One) tlons for consideration by Petain and his ministers. Mystery regarding the delay In contacting the Germans was explained today. It was said that the French delegates were delayed because all roads were crowded almost hopelessly and that they were many hours behind their schedule. The Germans, driving the French army relentlessly SWore them, were reported to have reached Roche Sur Yan. 40 miles from the great port of La Rochelle.

It was announced that Governor General Georges Le Beau of French Alberia had issued an appeal to the population for calm, coolness, and faith in the future of France, and that he had affirmed his own deter mination to follow Petain's lead in negotiations with Germany and his readiness to use all his strength for the defense of the At Tunis, capital of Tunisia, It was said, a delegation of French men and Tunisians gave the Presi dent, Marcel Peyrouton, a statement expressing loyalty to the French Premier and the Republic, and pro- misinu to uphold every means of defense of France and the French Empire to the end, (These two statements might be Interpreted, apparently, to mean that the authorities of these two important French North Afrclan colonies would follow Petain's lead if he accepted German terms and would not seek to carry on a fight alone.) There was an impressive and welcome haze over Bordeaux this mornintr. screening the city from airplanes. France's plenlpotenuaries were now announced as uen. oiuuiea Huntzlger, Leon Noel, and representatives of the three fighting services Gen. Parlsot, army: Gen.

Barge- ret, air force, and Rear Admiral Le Due, navy, Government officials ana omcers of the fighting staffs had remained on duty throughout the night awaiting word from France's emissaries. The Germans had made no furth er attempt to bomb the city. As many civilians as could had left the city during the night, to sleep in vineyards, despite a German radio explanation reported here that Wednesday night's raid had been made by accident, Because news that the French emissaries were ready to leave had not been receiv ed before the raid was oraerea. 1 It was reasserted that Toulon, the great French Mediterranean naval base to the east of Marseilles, would be defended with all means at the French disposal. Petain was assured of parliamentary support of any armistice his plenipotentiaries were able to negotiate when an unofficial caucus of senators and deputies now in Paris sent a delegation composed of Pierre Laval and other leaders to assure him of their support regardless of political opinion.

Legally, it is held, Petain is empowered to negotiate a suspension of hostilities without consulting Parliament The French radio explained this morning that Petain preferred attempting to reach an agreement with the Germans rather than accept the British suggestion for a pooling pf the French and British empire for mutual defense. At 7 ajn. the official radio admitted that the High Command was having the greatest difficulty con tacting all army elements and as I the result It could get no clear pic- i New Bags Smart, roomy bags you've seen at much higher New oversize envelopes, tophandle and under-arm styles.

The newspaper BZ Ammittag said: "France's posi tion today is complete defeat. France has no choice. She must give up, as Petain (French Premier Philippe Pe tain) declared to the French people.

she must lay down her arms or the victorious German advance will be extended to destroy the last re mainders of the French Army. The German high command in its daily communique from Adolf Hit ler field headquarters told of con tinued German advances. The high command reiterated that Germans had taken the great French industrial city of Lyon and it said that the occupation of Normandy and Brittany In an area be tween the Loire Estuary and the Rhone Valley was proceeding according to plan. Mopping up operations in parts of the Maginot line In Alsace and Lorraine were said to be proceeding despite heavy local resistance" and the high command said that French forces, crushed together in Northern Lorraine, had been split into several groups. Individual isolated French groups were still resisting in the Western Vosges.

The communique said that Germans had occupied Hartmannsweiler and Koff, the scene of heavy fighting during the World War. German dive bombers were reported to have put a number of Maginot line case ments out of action. The high command claimed that in an air raid off La Rochelle and the Estuary of the Gironde yesterday a 10,000 ton transport and a 4,000 ton auxiliary cruiser had been bombed and sunk. Describing continued British air raids on Northern and Western Ger many the high command said that a number of civilians had been kill ed last night. A German submarine was report ed to have sunk four British Mer chant ships, including an 11,000 ton Royal Mail Liner.

It was said that the fighting in France would cease as soon as the terms had been transmitted to the French government by its plenipo tentiaries and accepted. There was no -indictaion as to when the armistice would become effective. Some persons believed a zero hour would be set, in the same manner that 11 a.m. Nov. 11, 1918, was set for ceasing fire in the World War.

It was a foregone conclusion that France would be called upon to sur render at once all its fighting forces particularly its navy. Whether the terms contained any further de mands was not divulged but there were Indications in newspapers that the immediate objective was to remove France completely from the war in preparation for the "Battle England," and that the French might not learn their ultimate fate until that battle was over. In such event, France would learn today only the German method for keeping her impotent pending the battle with Britain and would learn later, if Germany win3, and at a conference perhaps modeled after that of Versailles which settled post-World War boundaries, what is to happen to her territory. The Hamburger Fremdenblatt pointed out that "an armistice sets military guarantees safeguarding the victor's successes up to the time normalizing relations by a final peace." This morning's Berlin newspapers were generally silent on the negotiations with France and stressed instead, the "beginning of air war reprisals against Britain." "It's England's turn and German filers are now giving England their particular attention," the Boersen Zeltung said. "The English who still feel safe on their Island will soon be forced to realize more em' fitted brown of two row was suit of lightweight tropical makes an ideal enino-awav Fresh white tuliDS fashionable on the hat and on the bag.

phatically than heretofore that Germany knows how appropriately to use her possession of the Franco-Belgian coast." Officially, all details of today's negotiations with party of French emissaries were kept secret. Best Informed sources here said, howev er, that the Compiegne Forest had been selected for the rendezvous be cause it was an historical setting. There, negotiations for beaten Germany went in 1918 to beg an armis tice of French Marshal Ferdinand Foch and were granted it, at a con- feerence in a railway car, at the price of unconditional surrender. German armies drove still deeper into France, apparently to discourage any opposition to the armistice terms. They claimed to be pushing down the Rhone Valley beyond Lyon in the east, and past Brest and Nantes along the western coast.

The beaten French army continued their hopeless resistance in the Maginot Line, now far behind the main German thrusts. The French were divided into three sections, each surrounded, in the Maginot triangle, the Germans said. One group was near Diedenhofen, another in the northern fringe of the Vosges Mountains near Hagenau, and the third in the high Vosges Mountains near Colmar. The official News Agency said German planes had badly damaged an Allied cruiser and several merchant ships and had bombed harbor works and aircraft factories in the vicinity of Bristol and Southampton Wednesday night, and had bombed harbor works at the French ports Lorient, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and St, Nazaire, causing fires and explosions. The News Agency said British bombers the same night had killed two civilians and destroyed a House at Speyer; had killed two civilians and had sunk a rowboat at Cologne; had buried two cows in a bam at Koblenz and had killed 60 sheep at Worms.

The News Agency denied that any food shortage was imminent in Germany. The official Germans News Agency said today that 10 persons had been killed and "numerous" wounded in a British air raid on Dussel-dorf Wednesday night It said that considerable property damage had been done there, and that one woman had been killed, several injured and many houses destroyed in a British air raW at Krefeld Tuesday night.

From Nantes, the Germans crossed the Loire, proceeding through the Vendee country in an attempt to seize and hold all ports. The war against Italy was almost motionless except for the official assertion that during the first week France had sunk two Italian submarines, one toy airplane bombing, the other by the dispatch boat Curieuse.
