 The dauleiter, (Naxi district lead- er) Adolf Wagner, issued c procla- nation to the people ct 10 Q. m. that France Is defeated" and that Hitler and Mussolini were on their way here to decide on the peace terms.
 Wagner announced the line of procession Hitler and Mussolini would take from the railway sta- ton, SO that the peopIe could line the way to greet them. It led first from the station to the Fuehrer House, then to the Prinzregenten Platz where Hitler maintains Q pri- vate house,
 Special gathering places were de- signated for Hitler youth groups, for storm troopers and the Elite Black -shirted Hitler bodyguard,
 It was indicated that the confer ence would be held at the Fuehrer house, after which Hitler and Mus sclini would adjourn to Hitler's pri- vate house,
 Flag -drapers evidently had work ed oil night. The city was 0 riot of color. Factory workers were called from their jobs at l0;30 a. m. to march to their positions on the pro- cession route. e.
 Wagner ordered all streets cleared of traffic at ii 0. m. His proclaim alton had read:
 "dermansl citizens of Munichl Raise flagsl France Is defeated The Prime Minister and marshal of the conquered French nation has petitiened the victorious Fuehrer and Field Marshal for an armis- tice." The Fuehrer and the friendly leader of Allied Italy will confer to- day in Munich, ..
 All Deeply Moved
 We are all deeply moved by the greatness of the present hour," the communique continued.
 "Out of fervid enthusiasm we want to thank the Fuehrer for the greatest victory ever forged In the history of the German Flag. We want to express gratitude to the victorious army of millions of Ger man soldiers which the Fuehrer leads. -.
 Happy fate again has chosen us to sec Q meeting of the Fuehrer and his friend, Il Duce In our city. We greet them"
 (Hitler's last public appearance in Munich was the night of Nov. 3, 1889, when he escaped by only 10 minutes the explosion of a time bomb that wrecked the Nazl beer hall shrine, killed eight and wound- cd e3 persons)
 Hitler's newspaper, Voelkischer Reobachter, published here and in Berlin, indicated that the terms of- fered France, while not vengeful, certainly would be harsh. Fascist circles in Rome believed the French empire would be distributed among the dictators today and that Spain and Japan probably would come in for shares.
 Mussolinl, Hitler Meet
 Italian Premier Benito Mussolini arrived here at 3:05 p. m. to dis- cuss the fate of France with Adolf Hitler.
 Mussollni was met at the station by Hitler, Foreign Minister Joa- chim Won Ribbentrop, pr. Robert Lev. leader of the German labor front, Gen. Franz Won Epp, Staat- halter of Bavaria, and Robert Wag- ner, Nazi 0auleiter in MuniDh.

 The Germans had taken the great intustrial city of Dijon.
 In the east the Germans had reached the Doubs river, which forms part of the F'rench-Swiss frontier, and had sent out motorized attachments in the direction of the Jura Alps in the frontier area. Everywhere our troops are fight- ing valiantly to have the honor of the flag" the communique ended. Why France Collapsed Bordeaux, France, June 18.-(UP) The whole story of Frances mili- tary collapse can be told in few words - insufficient mechanized equipment, planes, tanks and ar- mored cars.
 By proportions of four to one the Germans overwhelmed the French with a surprise strength of 12 ar- mored divisions totaling 5000 tanks against three French mechanized divisions.
 The boasted German air superior ity proved less substantial than their overwhelming tank strength and the numerical superiority of their di- visions.
 The Maginot Line proved its strength but German operations de- prived the line of its value by erl- abling the Germans to drive wedge behind the fortified line. The Maginot fortresses still were in condition to fight for six months against frontal enemy. They were well equipped with munitions, food water and other supplies. But they were intended to keep invaders out of France and now the invaders are behind the forts and resistance would be futile.
 Army of North Folded
 The French collapse began with the folding up five weeks ago of the army of the north, which de- prived General Maxine Weygand of the entire British Expedisionary Force and the whole of the first French army.
 The collapse can be traced to the loss of the army of the north which in turn can be traced to the defec- ton of the ninth corps of General Andre Corap on the river Mouse, the direct cause of the beginning of the French retreat.
 PICK UP 3-
 The bulk of French army stores and munitions was grouped close to the frontier for convenience. Tn the swift retreat they could not be brought back. Tn consequence, the French armies found themselves without stores and munitions foi exhausted troops.
