BERLIN, June u 'CUP)-Ger-
man troops have pierced the Wey-
gand line along the entire fighting
front in France, the high COM
mand said today.
A communique issued from Adolf
Hitler's field headquarters said that
army and air force operations south
of the Somme and Aisne rivers and
Tho Oise canal were proceeding
successfully according to plan
The high command claimed also
that an Allied speedboat had been
destroyed by German coast de-
fenses off northern France.
1t was claimed also that the
German air force had destroyed the
Norwegian radio transmitter at In
goet, near Hammerfest.
The Allies yesterday lost "a planes

dromeS and returned without losses
the high command said.
Authorized military sources said
that veteran German shock troops
were stabbing at several sectors of
the Allied line along the Somme,
hoping to break through and start
a vast encirclement of Paris.
Although the high command made
no mention of specific gains, mill
tary sources claimed that the Ger
mans, now in their third day of
an offensive aimed at putting France
out of the war, were making steady
progress.
Newspapers said the German
forces, many of which we're veter-
ans of the Poland and Flanders
campaigns, faced strong and pre-
pared French and British troops
barricaded behind improvised but
difficult field positions favored
by the terrain.
Claims OF sources who prOfeSSed
to know the situation said that the
entire right wing of the German
army had pushed forward at var
ious points along the front, from
the channel coast to Soissons, aim
ing at lie Havrc and Rouen on the

On the eastern flank the Ger
mans were said to have pierced
the Allied line as far south as the
Bresle river, about 16 miles below
Abbcvillc. Military quarters said
that German tanks and shock troops
pushed forward across the Somme
and thrust the Allies far to the
rear, pursuing the French over
nests of pill boxes and machine

PARIS, June 7. tUP)-Roads ap-
preaching Paris were barricaded
today, and antiparachutist bar
riers we're erected within the city,
as 1000 German tanks, thrown into
the battle of the Weygand line,
stormed their way onto tho great
Chemin Des Danes ridge ON the
river Sommc.
Gen. Maxine Weygand, Allied
said in a dramatic
order of the day to his men:
1.-THE battle of France has begun!
The order is to defend our posi-
tions without thought of retreat
determination and courage win out.
Hang on to French soil ;. the
fate of our country, the safeguard
ing of all its liberties, the future
of our sons, all depend on your

Two hundred German planes,
bombers and fighters, had flown
westward over the Paris area at
5 a. m. today with anti-aircraft
guns blazing at them, in grim warn
ing of what had happened in tho
blit7krieg invasion of the loWlands.
They had not dropped a single
bomb, but even as they flew over
the sleeping city, Gen. Maxine
Weygand had been making his
preparations for possible para
chutist troop landing or an attempt
to land troops on the ground in
transport planes.

be alarmed at precautions necessi-
tated by the German blitzkrieg
technique, the high command pro-

The third day of Iitlcrs efforts
10 capture Paris shows the battle
to be still in its preliminary stage.
The Germans have begun taking
precautions to guard against flank
ing operation that might penetrate
into their rear if they made mass
movement too quickly in the direc-
ton of Paris from the scissors
salient. The new German offensive
against the Chemln Des Danes
ridge has this purpose in mind.
The ridge, because of its proximity
to SoiSSonS and the Disc -AiSne
canal, would dangerously menace
the left wing of German drive
for Paris along the short Oise
route.
German movements to straighten
their Somme front have had initial
success in the Abbcville region.
Elsewhere the reports are conflict

RooseveI+ Asks Power to
Send Old Guns to Allies

WASHINGTON, June 7. fUP)-'
President Roosevelt said today he is
asking congress for power to trade
in guns for sale to the embattled
Allies, in manner similar to that
in which the government already is
sending so navy reserve planes back
to the manufacturer to be sent to
France and England.
The president said he already
has authority to trade in airplancs
and ammunition for replacement by
manufacturers, but lacks the au-
thority to effect such trade-ins for
guns
He said he referred specifically
to large quantities of French and
British IS MN field guns which
have been in storage in the army
ordnance department since 1919.
Mr.. Roosevelt made no estimate
of how many guns might be turned
back to manufacturers on replace
ment basis.
He said SO navy reserve planes
are being turned back to the Cur
tiss company to be replaced by mod
ernized fighting machines protected
by armor and puncture proof gaso-
line tanks. The old planes will go
to the Allies.
Mr.. Roosevelt offered no estimate
of how many more planes might
thus be turned back. He said he

Both belligerentS show reluctance
to announce in detail the progress
of the fighting. Such hestancy is
always accepted as indicating mutual
uncertainties concerning the devel-
opment of strategic plans. 1t con-
tinueS to be apparent, however
that the German thrusts have not
shown the great power of the drive
through Belgium and are much
more cautiously directed 1t can be
concluded from this fact that the
German high command did not
wait long enough to refresh the
armies that had been driven so
hard in the Flanders fighting be-
fore ordering the attack against
Paris.
The Germans were justified in
allowing their troops little respite
because every days postponement
of the Paris drive would have given
Weygand that much more invalu-
able opportunity to strengthen his
defenses. Nevertheless it must be
recognized that considerable part
of the German attacking forces arc
still recovering from the intensity
of the Belgian and Flanders often
sive while the French troops are
much frcsher. If the battle becomes
long drawn this difference should
have some Importance in determln-
ing the outcome
German official reports of prog
ress all along the line must refer
to tank infiltrationS, which have
broken through at number of
places. 1t is an axiom of the new
use of tanks, however, that unless
they are quickly followed by motor
lied infantry and then by the far
larger units of foot infantry, their
value is only temporary. 1t is neces-
sary for the German infantry to
break through in great numbers
