Decide to Yield

While German planes wheeled
menacingly overhead, King Peter
and key members of his govern
ment held a midnight session
Easter Sunday night at suburban
Pail. :.
There they reached the fateful
decision to ask for an armistice.
Premier Gen. Dusan Simovic re-
signed, and General Kalasapovic
succeeded him as the last premier
in Yugoslavia's history.
Peter and Simovic left immedi-
ately by motor car for Niksic,
north of the Albanian frontier.
General Medic, who had sacri-
feed three full divisions in a vain
defense of Kachanik Pass, then
was instructed to ask Germany
for her ar1nistice terms.
But the Germans, with most of
Yugoslavia already under their
control. would not hear OF an
armistice. They demanded COM
plete and unconditional surrender.
Had No Choice
Premier Kalasapovic had no
choice but to accept. On Thurs
day. April II, Alexander Cincar-
Marcovic-who was foreign min
lister in the Yugoslavian govern
