New blows against the allies. In
GLIDING sinking of the British
4 .ls0-ton cruiser Calypso by an
Italian submarine in the Mediter-
ranean, were admitted officially,
but the French war communique
emphasized that the Germans so
far had failed to break up the
orderly withdrawal of the allied
armies in France.
Furthermore. the British
expeditionary force In France
was reported fighting with ut
most tenacity as the Germans
pressed the attack violently
along n wide front.
Rumors of possible French
capitulation, attributed TO German
radio propaganda, were so thick
that authoritative sources here
issued second statement late
today denying them.
1t was admitted that the mill
tary situation was grave.
So serious was the military
situation in France viewed here
that military experts frankly dis
cussed the possibility that the
great Maginot line might have TO
be abandoned.
There had been no direct news
here from France since the French
radio broadcast the night COM
munique of the high command,
Friday night, reporting slight
lessening of intensity In the cen
eral German attack and the re-
pulse of a big scale German drive
on the Saar portion of the main
Maginot line.
As regards the Paris line.
IL was said only that with
drawals had been made ac-
cording to plan.
Great emphasis was put on a

and that negotiations had been
proceeding ''in a friendly atmos-

capital Of Wilma. Saulen. Poniew-

MOSCOW - A special radio
broadcast of an official COM
munique today said that the Red
army had been granted the right
of free access to Lithuania.
The communique said that
the Lithuanians had accepted
demands of the Soviet union
for the resignation of Premier
Antanas Merkys.
Lithuania adjoins the East
Prussian frontier of Germany. The
free access" of Red army troops
to Lithuania presumably would
mean unlimited freedom for Soviet
defense measures on that section
of the German frontier adjacent
to the Baltic sea. The Russian
frontier southwark from Lithuania
extends along the German border
in Poland to Hungary
The communique said that
the Lithuanian home minister
had arranged for formation Of
new government after the
resignation OF Merkys.
The Merkys government. a coali-
ton, was formed in November,
1889, after Lithuania had granted
permission for Soviet defense bases
to be established on the frontier
opposite Germany and on the
Baltic coast. A limited number
about 25.000-Red army troops
were stationed in Lithuania at that
time, and similar agreements were
made with Esthonia and Latvia.
bringing that former sphere of
German influence into close rela-
tionship with the Soviet union.
