 The official French radio charged the Germans with bombing "open towns"
 (At Washington, the state de- partment received telephone call from William c. Bullitt, United States ambassador to Paris, saying that the French channel ports of Calais and Dunkerque were bombed.l )
 It was reported here that Lille, Nancy and Colmar were bombed, that there were several casualties at Lille and Nancy and that an undisclosed number of German planes had been shot down.
 Germany Warned
 A foreign office communique to- day warned Germany to avoid bombing towns in France, Britain, Belgium, Holland or Luxembourg on threat or reprisal.
 The communicate said.
 "rhe French government, which In It's September, 1889, reply to the United States Presidents appeal gave assurance the air force had received orders prohibiting bom- bardment Of civil populations and limiting bombing strictly to military objcctiVes, publicly proclaims that 1t reserved and still reserves the right to have recourse to any action 1t might appropriate in case of bom- bardment by the enemy of civil populations, either In France, Brit ain or the countries being aided by France"
 It was reported that France's first warning of the German Blit2- krieg had reached here from Wash- ington and that immediately the French cabinet had met with PreSi- dent Albert Lebrun. Soon, Belgium sent word that she had been in- vaded and asked for allied aid
 The French radio broadcast q list of seven towns bombed and gave the public instructions on what to do in case of raids.
 Rush Help To others
 France and Britain rushed help to invaded Belgium and Holland and invoked q secret, e-arranged plan for throwing mobile allied troops Into action beside the Bel gian army on on hour and Q hall notice. It was presumed, therefore that allied troops were now fight ing in Belgium.
 French army officers who had been on leave were crowding rail. road stations responding to orders to return immediately to their posts The French army had been put on the alert.
 The official radio, between news bulletins, played military marches and patriotic hymns.
