FIGHTING CONTINUES

BERLIN, June l7.-This after noon the fighting was continuing on all fronts in France with the Germans reportedly making more rapid advances than before.
 In the meantime is seemed cer- tain that arrangements had been completed for Chancellor Hitler and Premier Mussolini to meet to con- slider on what terms they will make peace with beaten France. Reports were that the Nazi and Fascist dic- tators would meet at Munich, where Hitler staged his first rise to power.
 The fierce fighting continued on all fronts and the German High Command said that it will continue until Hitler and Mussolini have had time to discuss the French move toward peace. It was believed in authorative circles that the two Dictators would demand a com- plete and unconditional surrender by the French, and reject pleas for a so-called honorable negotiation of peace

heroism, with valor without prece- dent. have continued glorious mlA- tary action against an enemy su- perior in numbers. I thank these men who by their magnificent re- sistence now have fulfilled our duties towards our allies. l also thank those old combatants whom I commanded in the last war. I have given myself to France to bet ter her situation in this grave hour. At this moment I think of unfortunate refugees, men - old men, older than myself, tired with years of toll, of children and wo- men on roads who have been driven away from their homes by the misfortunes of war.
 T express to them my sincerest sympathy and love. It is with heavy heart I say we must cease to fight. I have applied to our opponent to ask him if he, if as between sol diers after a fight, he is ready to put aside resentment and put an end to hostilities. I say let Fren hmen gather themselves around their Government. make this plea in this painful hour of trial and urge that they affirm once more their faith in the des- tiny of our country"
