LONDON, June British
military experts, still hesitant to
believe that the failure of Ger

anything but that the real attack

the Swiss Rhine frontier between
Basic and lake Constance. and then
swing westward into France.
Italy at the same time. it was
suggested. might attack France
directly across the Alps on Frances

Three quarters based their belief
on the theory that ferocious and
costly as they were. the present
German attacks on the Weygand
line might be only a feint. pre-
liminary to the real attack.
The present speculative situation
here was a strange one. through
characteristic. 1t was that allied
sources were trying to explain away
a series of unusually hopeful devel-
opmentS by convincing themselves
that the hopes were illusory.
Reluctantly. informants admitted
that the situation was "Satisfac-
tory" but quickly qualified the
admission by pointing out that II
