Usually reliable sources said Franco also had been invited to 58nd delegates to any bcace fllSClls- sions which mzgiit result from the armistice negotiations between France‘ and the axis powers.

18mins’ participation in peace negotiations revived speculation among foreign observers as to whether Hitler and Mussollnimight not be attempting to revive Spanish interest in an attempt to take Gib- raltar from Britain, There lime been loud demonstrations iii Starin- ish cities recently demanding Gib- ra..tar for spam).

Marshal Petain told his sober countrymen. Wearv and saddened beyond description, that he already had opened negotiations to stop the fighting.

In a firm voice, the 84-year-old soldier-db omat said he had asked Hitler last night whether he was willing as one soldier to another to discuss pezice-“tvitli honor."

far as was known at night- fall, fighting was still going on but apparently with reduced intensity.

The Frenc-li armies have lxicn fighting a slow withdrawal through the heztrt of France for 12 days since the main German attack started along the Somme and Azilsne rivers.

The German lines have pushed into a grout curve sweeping from the English Channel 75 niilcs west- ward and scuth of Paris to the Loire river, where they cut across to the Swiss frontier 1" "ie region of t1 e Doubs river valley.

Defeat of the FTcnch army vms acknowledged iii the statement of a military spokesman who said at the afternoon press conference that there now is no cont nuous French front. The French, he said, had lost great quantities of artillery and other equipment.

Up to late aftemoomthis spokes- man said. thsi-e had been no res- ponse to France's pica for peace.

It was this German advance which decided Paul Rcyiiaud to rc- sign the premiership last nigLt to make way for the elevation of Pe- talri as the one man considered able to rallv the French behind him for the fateful dccsion.

The end of French resistance was foreshadowed in this sllfldféfl re- placement of the Reynaiid govern-

ment by a "peace cabinet" headed bg 1111c n, last of France's Old mar- s a s.

Petain did not say how he estab- lished communication with the Gcr- mans to sue for peace. but it was reported t1 at it was accomplished with Spain as intermediary.

Pctain was called out of an often- inlerrupted retirement to be fiance's ambassador to the govern- nicnt of General Franco at the conclusion of the Spanish civil imr, in which both Italy and Germany supported his fight with republican armies.

To his countrymen the soldier- liplomtit said:

“It is with a broken heart that I tell you today it 1s necessary to stop the fighting.

“I addressed myself last night to the adversary to ask him if re is ready to seek with me as soldier to soldier, after the actual fighting is over and with honor, the means of putting an cnd to hostilities."

A thunder-storm punctuated the momentous speech to his stricken nation.
