Manning French Warships

By JOE ALEX MORRIS
(United Press Foreign News Editor
Adolf Hitler completed the Nazi
domination OF continental Europe
today, forced France to accept Ger
man terms for armistice negotia-
tions and sent waves OF arplanes
10 scatter bombs across the British
Isles.
The armistice terms which Hitler
and Italian Premier Benito Musso-
lini agreed to dictate TO France were
still undiscloSed even to the
French government -- but French
plenipotentiaries were named to re-
ceive them OF q time and place set
BY the Germans.
That the armistice terms TO be
dictated by the Axis powers would
be harsh, calling for complete capt..
ulation and probably surrender OF
the French fleet, was taken for
granted In Berlin. An armistice,
however, will be designed merely to
end the warfare In France leaving
the final peace terms TO be estab-
lished OF o later date - presum-
ably OF the end Of the European
war.
Fighting went on In France and
on the widespread battlefields OF
Africa, and the Berlin high com.
mand said that subjugation OF
French provinces was almost COM
plete with the capture Of Cher
bourg, Nancy, and many other towns
as well as On advance toward the

forces continued TO resist In the

Would the French Navy defy a French government

Possible Fate Of Navy
The opinion of neutral naval experts has been sharply
divided over the possible fate of Frances navy Some
commended that Hters threat repals against French
civilians would be enough to take the French fleet home
In surrender. Others believed French would per-
NIT their ships to be "sezed" by the British rather than
surrender to Germany, or, failing in that they would
scuttle them.
Manning French Warships
The question Of manning French warships was dis
cussed and was said that II the French seamen became
French echncans aboard to operate the ships whereas
they surrendered to Germany, the Germans would be

the French would take their ships to battle under the
