Destination Unknown
 The destination of the leaders was not specified, and 1t was not made clear whether they had left together or separately,
 Tn semi-ofilcial quarters 1t was said that aside from the personal emirerce Of Marshal Henri Philippe Petaln whose military career entities him to the respect of both Germany and Italy, the terms of the armistice will reflect to some extent the re- sentiment of the axis powers against France.
 This resentment, 1t was indicated, is directed particularly toward French politicians and most speci- fcally these who opposed the four pSwer pact proposed by Mus3olini beth before ard after Munich.
 The attitude of the axis was said to be that France and Britain had always opposed what Italy and Ger many regarded as sane equlli- brlum' In Europe. Now France must accept terms against this back ground.
 Hitler and Mussolini left the con. ference place ty automobile. The fuehrer sat on the right, Il Duce on the left. AS they drove away the crowd sang the Engelland song Nov We Sal Against England"- and shouted "Heil Hitler, Hell Mus. solini."
 Common Attitude
 The two axis dlctators framed c common attitude toward the French proposal for peace at almost the hour British Prime Minister Wins ton Churchill was calling upon France to carry out her treaties and continue the war in order to keep alive hope of future freedom.
 That the terms of the axis powers were harsh was taken for granted despite French declarations that Q shameful peace would be refused. The French army was battered to pieces and the swift advance of the Germans through the provinces seemed to rule out any hope of future resistance except overseas.
 Dispatches from Bordeau said that French sources believed that Hitler would demand almost all territory already occupied in addi- ton to some colonial possessions of France, which he once characterized as the mortal foe" of the Reich, Italy, this dispatch said, would be expected to demand Nice, Savoy, Tunisia, Corsica, Djlbuti and prob- ably control of the Suez Canal.
 It was considered certain at Bordeaux that Germany would take the rich industrial area of the north and the Maglnot line sector from France in any peace agreement. French government comment on such speculation, however, was not available.
 French Cabinet Waits
 Bordeaux, France, June 18-tUP) French armies continued to fight back against advancing German armies. 6 military spokesman said tonight as the cabinet awaited 6 de- cislon by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini on Frances proposal for an honorable peace"
 The cabinet was expected to act tonight as soon as word is received of the result of the Mussolini- -Hit- Ter meeting at Munich.
 The military spokesman admit- ted that the German armies con- tinued to press deeply Into France ard probably had reached Rennes, capitol of Brittany, as well as Or leans and various towns along the Loire.
 But, he said, the French army is fighting still in the English Cham mel regions and on the line of the Lore between tours and Orleans and other points, inflicting heavy

UNITED STATES
 MUST BE READY

Charlottesville, Va., June iS --(U. p - John 0. Dewilde, author and foreign policy association expert on Central European matters, told the University of virginia's Institute of Foreign Affairs today that America must frankly face the prospect of continued Nazi rule for several more decades" "The Nazis", he said, "have revolutioned the German peo- pie and given them the dynamic drive essential to victory. There is no guarantee that this drive will stop short of Europe's frontiers. We must be prepared to combat 1t.
 "The mobilization of our material resources for defense will not be enough. Tn Nazism the world is fighting an idea, a revolutionary faith as well as an efncient econ- omic and military machine. To meet this challenge we must revitallze our spiritual as well as our material defense"

losses on the Germans yesterday when they attempted to cross the river.
 The spokesman also said that the French army in the Maginot line area was "carrying out movements the nature of which cannot be re. vealed. tT'his obviously was a retire. ment of the French army southwarc to escape the German encirclemenl of the Maginot line0)
 The French 4th army, in the Alps also is carrying out movements as result of the German advance that threatened It's flank, the spokesman said.
 French sources speculated on q demand by Germany for all of tho occupied territory of France as par, Of the peace terms but government sources made no comment. It wa, believed likely that the Germans would demand at least the northern industrial area, various channel ports and all of the Maginot line sector.
 WAR BULLETINS
 Rome, June i8 (UP)-Virginio Gayda, editor of the Giornale D. Italia, said today that even with the aid of the United States, Great Britain would not be able to hold out against the axis powers. He said that collapse of France lined up the United States with Britain against Germany and Italy.
 Large parts of South America, Asia and Europe have Q Spiritual understanding with the axis pow CTS, Gayda said.
 "The surrender of France con- cludes one of the substantial phases of the European war" he wrote England remains alone to fight with her imperial forces and with the help of war material and fInan- cial aid promise: :..sS ty the United States. British United States resist ence assumes today the form of 6 purely Anglo.SaXon war against the remainder of the world Anelo.Saxon resistance is condemn cd inexorably to exploitation
 Bordeaux, France, June l8--(UP) --The French council of ministers and heads of the French defense forces met today with President Al- bert Lebrun and took what were regarded as Important decision" Meanwhile, 1t was said, there had been no reply from the axis powers to Premier Henri Pctain's peace move.
 Meeting with the president and cabinet were General Maxine Wey- gand, Admiral Francois Darlan and Gen. Georges Vuillemin, chief Of the air force.
 It was believed that the council hoped that the axis powers would grant an armistice and would not demand immediate, unconditional surrender.
 From the front there was dis- quieting ncvy. The German armies continued to advance after having practically Isolated the Maginot line. French troops, however. were reported still engaged in heavy fighting.
 London. June 18.--tUP)-Authori- tative sources intimatcd today that c British offer of union of the Eri. tish and French empires, under one government and one parliament, might be renewed if the opportunity offered at any time.

THE POETS CoRNERED

When I'm playing table tennis
Basketball becomes a menace;
Life becomes risk, gamble
When the players start to amble
Down the floor and near the table,
Always seemingly unable
To keep that gosh-danged ball away
From where we two ping-pongers play.
I've one favor, and I ask it
Keep your darned ball near the basket;
Keep it where twill do no harm;
I need each and every arm.
When you boys are feeling frisly,
Playing ping-pong's rather risky;
If you care nanght for my life,
Think of my children and my wife.

Jacob Perkins

Philatelists who are now celebrat-
ing the centennial of the first postage
stamp of course are paying homage
to the memory Of Sir Rowland Hill,
the British postal reformer who was
its sponsor. But they are not for
getting Jacob Perkins of Massachu-
setts, the Yankee genius to whom the
artistic character of the premier
label is due.
A curious accident brought the two
men together. The American, q
jewelers. apprentice as a boy, had
noticed how readily copperplate en-
craving could be forged and, to pre-
vent such Justification, had developed
method of engraving on steel which
was at once more secure and less
expensive. A patent granted to him
on March 18, 1899, had prompted in
his heart the hope that his process
might be adopted by the Govern
ment Of the United States for the
manufacture of currency. When his
application was rejected, the British
Minister suggested to him that he
seek q contract for the printing Of
the banknotes OF the Bank Of Eng
land. He crossed the Atlantic to
participate In q competition for this
