I heard first the sharp staccato
rattle of a French machine-gun,
and then through the trees to the
east came the deeper tone of Nazi

farther down the line joined in,
and there was an exchange Of fire,
after which the Germ an guns

of the woods came a French pa

Behind him came a grim-faced

Nazis minated final prepara-
lions for Hitler's campaign were
discussed during Ciano's visit. The
latter was believed TO have taken
TO Mussolini an outline of the
peace ultimatum speech which Hit
Ter already was drafting for the
session, to be held late
this week.
II was reported the Hitler
speech would be couched In
concrete terms and would con-
tain suggestions for a peace
basis, and not merely be a gen.
eralized bid for vague peace.
As regards Italy. Nazis said
that II peace bids failed, there
would be further conversations
with Mussolini regarding Joint
measures" TO "bring the war
to an end within the shortest
possible Time" and negotia-
tions also with Russia.

Ciano Germany and Russia had
no agreement which
would infringe Italy's interests In
