Paris Reports Calm
On Italian Frontier

PARIS. June II lPl.-The French
high command reported calm on the
French-Italian Alpine frontier to-
day more than 10 hours after Italy's
formal midnight entry into the Eu-
ropean war on Germany's side.
Shortly before 1890 m. the high
command in its regular morning
communicate said French troops on
the Alpine front were lin position

The French Army. staging a des-
perate battle against a powerful
German right wing attempting TO
strike sythe blow at Paris from
the west. checked Nazi attempts to
advance beyond the Seine River, the
high command said.
Seine Crossing Reported.
Last night it reported the Ger
mans had crossed the Seine at sew
eral points. but today's announce
ment indicated the invaders had
been unable to push farther in this
bold attempt to swing around the
capital and take it from the rear.
AS the day dawned, Paris was
covered by a strange acrid smoke
that obscured the sun and hung over
the city like pail. 1t first began to
appear early last night. Some re-
ports said it was from fires in the
outskirts.
German tanks, operating alone
were reported to have reached the
environs of Paris already. although
the main front was no nearer than
IS or 40 miles.
Most Ministers Leave.
Paris was but a shell as the gov
ernment established headquarters
in the provinces" somewhere in
France"-and other vital agencies
packed up and left. AS most Minis
tiers went to the south, Premier Paul
Reynaud left to join the French
Army, the Ministry of Information
said. Civilians moved southwark in
streams.
The hour was one of gloom for
Paris and for France, with Italy
adding her strength to Germany s
against the Allies. The nation
turned for comfort to the words
of NJ, Reynaud last night in an
address made after Premier Musso-
lini announced Italy would 60 to

German sources pointed out that
the aim of the Nazi drive was not

Army.
To this end, the powerful air
force was kept busy smashing at
bridges across the Disc and Marne
rivers behind French troops to cut

Transports Blasted.
On another front, far north of
the coast of Norway, other bombers
were reported blasting at British
transports and cruisers in the North
