Paris Abandoned to Nozi
Troops: French Ask Aid

TOURS, France. June 14-tUP)-
French troops abandoned Paris TO
the Germans for the second time in
10 years today They retired on
both sides of the city and left 1t
for the Germans to enter at their
will
William c. Bullitt, United States
Ambassador to France, reported to
the state department that the Ger
mans had reached the city last
night and Berlin indicated that the
mair' body had reached it early
todayD
The French high command had
faced the tragic decision of de-
Tending the city street by street
knowing that it must be wiped from
the earth of which it had been a
treasure house for centuries, or of
abandoning it and forming a de.
fense line to the south.
Thus Paris, "City of Light" capi-
tai of the arts, had become the
first world capital to fall to-ar
invading power since the Germans
of William I and Bismarck took il
after a Long, grim siege in 1871.
But more than Paris was at stake
The freedom and life of France
itself, the France of the peasant and
the artisan. the France that had
been invaded often. and as often
had fought on or had awaited its
chance to fight until the invader
had been rcpelled all this was now
the prize.
In admitting the withdrawal from
Paris. the high command disclosed
double German drive some SO
miles to the east - drive that
threatened the new French line
south of Paris one one fork and
that threatened on the other to
sever theh main French armies from

city, the French command wanted
to spare the devastation which e.
Tense of the city would have entail
ed, and estimated that no valuable
strategic reason justified the sacri-
flee of Paris.
"On a vast front in Champagne
enemy armies are progressing,
fighting toward the south. Their
most advanced elements seem to be
pointed toward Romilly on one hand
and st. Dizier on the other.
1t was in the last entence-that,
ard immediate, real aid from the
emocracies-Britain the, United
States-that the hope of country
lay.
