es to recognize the conquest of
the nation that sent him here.
Ministers In Doubt
Mr.. Henrik de Kauffmann's
status theoretically has not
changed for he is Washington's
minister from Denmark-but the
status of his country has. When
the minister receives an order
from Copenhagen today, how can
he know whether it comes from
the government that appointed
him or from some Nazi over
lord?
DR.. A. Loudon is another man
whose daily problems must cause
sleepless nights. Queen Wilhel-
nina, to whom by oath he owes
his all, and her government, are
lin London; and, Arthur Seyss-
Inquart. the Austrian NaZi lead
er, is in supreme command of all
the civil functions of the Neither
; lands.
In a similar plight is Wilhelm
Munthe de Morgenstierne, the
minister from Norway. The great
lobe of the country that he repre-
sentS and by far the most impor-
tant section of it from a stand
point of population and indus
try, is in German hands. At some
place which he may know. but
which the world at large doesn't,
is King Haakon and the Nor
swegian government. Report has
it that Mr.. Morgenstierne himself
| doesn't know where they are and
is in contact with his king only
through the embassy in London.
These are the ambassadors and
ministers still active in Washing
! ton in behalf of their saddled or
conquered countries.

Of NaEi attacking units had ad-
Vanced approximately 22-miIes
at the westend of the Weyqand
line last night. but followed the
admission with a declaration that
French lines were closing no the
gap and were confident that no
serious danger of the lines fall
existed.
Opinion was stated that if the
Germans were able to consolidate
their advance in the one sector
mentioned, a drive could be made
towards the channel port of LIE
Havre which might prove dis
astrouS.
French artillery was coneen-
trating on the spearhead, and it
was reported likely that the
Nazis would be unable to hold
their advantage in that support
ing infantry had so far been un-
able to move up to bolster the
mechanical forces.
German reports continue to be
quite vague, only stating that the
campaign now entering its fourth
day, was proceeding according to
plans. Adolf Hitler was reported
to be in front line headquarters,
personally directing the attacks
which now sees more than 1,OO0,-
600 Nazis engaged in battle.
Midsummer weather is being
experienced by the offensive and
defending troops, the hot sun
bearing down on scenes of ter
rifle fighting, causing much suf-
fering. especially to mechanical
troops in tanks and planes.
Allied dispatches stated that
no other sectors had experienced
any setbackS. though, in a few
positions, the troops were with
drawing from forward positions
to main lines of defense.
