Belgian Surrender
Expected 10 Hasten
Italy Into War
Exit yisos Demanded
Of French Attempting ,
To Leove Country
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, May 28.--The surrender Of
the Belgian Army was expected In
foreign circles here today to hasten
Italy's entrance into the war to help
Germany finish of the Allies and
win share Of the victor's gains.
Omcial Italian comment on the
new disaster for the Allies, however,
was not Immediately available.
1t was disclosed that French citi-
zens attempting to leave Italy had
been stopped because they had no
exit visas.
Allied sources said that the re-
quirement for exit visas was new and
that thus far it had been invoked
only against Frenchmen.
The government announced that
special exit visas would be required
on passports of foreigners leaving
1ealy when their own countries re-
quired such visas. The regulation
would therefore apply to the French,
British and Egyptians.
These residents of Italy would first
have to obtain italian permission
before returning TO their homelands.
The stopping of the visaless
Frenchmen-suddenly and without
notice, Allied informants said-gave
rise to rumors that italy had closed
her frontiers with France and Swift
zerland.
These proved unfounded. Reports
from the border today said trafnc
between Italy and Switzerland re-
manned normal.
Fascist militiamen among univer-
sity students were ordered to gather
with their arms throughout italy
tomorrow for specially significant
military ceremonies" marking the
10th anniversary of the establish
ment of the university militia.
In a message to Premier Musso-
lini Marshal Padoglio, president of
the National Research Council,
pledged the obedience of the $50
scientists who compose the council.
Maps showing the German posi-
bilities of bombing and invading
England have been widely published,
with the extremist elements hoping
these will tend to overcome the hesi-
fancy of the more cautious citizens
who have hoped that a stiff Allied
resistance might keep Italy on the
sidelines.
Virginio Gayda, writing today in
the Giornale DItalia, called King
Leopold's surrender 'an act of high
political and humane wisdom"
The editor accused the British
Of planning to withdraw from Bel
GUM, leaving the Belgian Army to
cover the retreat.

"Weygand was unable to get a
promise from the King that he
would continue the fight because
King Leopold realized the hopeless
ness of the military situation and
refused to be responsible for the
further devastation Of Belgian ter
ritory.
King Leopold pointed out to
Weygand that, as sovereign and SUI
preme commander, he had a right to
decide when fighting should cease,
especially since during the whole
time he had been at the front with
his troops and ignored his personal
safety.

Premier Pierlot that the western
powers, after having secured victory,

fate if the Belgian Army should

The fact that millions Of refugees,
mostly women and children. were
in danger Of death by bomb or shell
just as were the soldiers, inextrlcably
tied up with military movement.
The probability that the 38-year-
old sovereign, his own life saddened
by personal tragedy In the accidental
death of his wife-and, seeing, too,
his little country once more blasted
into smoking ruins as a battlefield
In the age-old quarrel between Ger
many and France and England
decided his highest duty was to pre-
vent further bloodshed.
French military sources called the
capitulation full of extremely
grave consequences" and said it
came just as the Allies were begin
ming to chalk up local successes.
THE British Broadcasting
Corp. In broadcast heard by
n. B. G. in New York, said that
when the German invasion began
the Belgian Army for home de-
Tense numbered TOO 900 men. Tne
government ordered all other
males not old enough for service
or otherwise exempted to make
their way to foreign country to
avoid capture.
(Most of these men now are in
France and in military training,
the B. B. c. said. They number
many thousands, although def
mite figures are unavailable.
This force" said the broadcaster,
will be of valuable help to the
Allies in holding the line which
runs roughly east and west
across Northern France.")
The French Premier said that
King Leopold had decided to capitu-
late "in full battle" against the ad-
vice of his cabinet.
He said that the French faith
in victory is still intact" and called
upon the nation for a supreme
effort.
French Military circles said they
were at a loss to account for King
Leopold's decision and expressed

helped convince the Belgian mon
arch that his greatest duty to his
country was to prevent further
bloodshed.
Umberto is married to Leopold's
sister, Marie Jose.
German arms, however, were said
to have been the chief argument
for Leopold's momentous decision.
He has been assigned a castle,
presumably in the Ardennes Forest.
He probably will be asked to form a
civil government with which the
German government, through a
general to be appointed later, can
cooperate.

The authorized cost of the new
armory was placed by Congress at
$2,7500 900, and the city heads had
earmarked 100000 for the drill

delay in awarding the contract was
taken to determine if sufficient
money would be left for the wings

found sufficient savings could be
made on the remaining units to hold
the total cost within the authorized

BERLIN. May 28.-Belgian King
Leopold appears to have saved his
throne by capitulating, as far as
Germany is concerned.
Adolf Hitler was reported "pro-
foundly stirred" both by the SOL.
dierly attitude Of Leopold in stick
ing with his troops through the
fighting, and by his decision to sur
render when, in the German view,
further resistance was purposeless.
In some form or other, assuming
that Germany emerges VIGOROUSLY
from the war, Leopold will be per-
mitted to function as King, In
formed sources predicted.
Speculation was that the Flem-
ish part of Belgium would be joined
to Holland and that Leopold would
be given this new kingdom to rule.
This view also was found preva-
lent during my trip to the Belgian
front last week.

Helen Guterba of Youngstown,
Ohio, "afhble"
Geraldine M. Hill of Buffalo, N. Y,
