Germans abandoning prisoners, wound

Last Sunday was the darkest day OF
the war for the allies. The French
government emigrated from Paris to
bordeaux in a long procession OF mo-
tor cars. An attack upon the capital
appeared imminent. and the main Ger
man force had hammered huge
wedge into France between Paris and
Nerdun. with its center some miles
south of that line.
The French people trembled with
the question whether their army was
not beaten army: whether the hts
