Invading Allies Face
Many Big Surprises,
Marshal RommeI Saws
Western Attack Must Be
Reckoned os Imminent,
Nuzi Leader Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 6.-Marshal
Erwin Rommel added his voice
today to the invasion guessing
game, declaring the attack must
be reckoned as imminent" and
asserting that the German SOL
dier, armed with new weapons,
is ready for the utmost"
The Allies, the German leader de-
clared in broadcast monitored by
the British Ministry of Information,
will come up against many great
surprises"
This is particularly true of those
enemy formations which may try to
land by parachute or from gliders
behind the coastal 'front.'" Marshal
Rommel declared.
The broadcast said he addressed
his commanders after completing a
tour of Mediterranean coast de-
fenses and quoted him as saying:
MY inspection of the interior of
the country has shown the existence
of an interesting system of tactical
measures which can be described
as complete novelty"
Charges Staying of Prisoners.
Marshal Rommel, whose forces
were driven from Africa by the 9th
Army troops of Gen. Sir Bernard l.
Montgomery, made a reference to
that experience.
Before the attack on El Ala
mein,' the Nazi marshal said,
Montgomery asked his men to kill
Germans wherever they met them
On account of this order wounded
and captured. German soldiers were
murdered at Ell Alamein.
I'VE German officers do not give
orders to our men which are in
Grass contrast to military honor
In speech for delivery at pm.
Capt. H. H. Balfour, undersecretary
for air, declared that for all prac-
tical purposes about $4,000 Allied
airmen already have opened the
main battle of the invasion.
| He asserted the destruction exc
cuted during April throughout the
length and breadth of Occupied Eu-
rope by these airmen would make
the invasion path from the coast
to Berlin more direct.
Armistice Terms Drafted.
Looking to the peace beyond the
invasion, the London Daily Herald
said today the European Advisory
Commission now had practically
completed" a detailed document
setting out armistice terms to be
presented to Germany.
The commission, authorized by
the Moscow conference, has been
meeting behind closed doors since
last December IS. Although it is
understood to be chiefly concerned
with plans for dealing with Ger
many after the war it is empowered
to make recommendations on any
matters concerning the conflict.
Reports received here through
Stockholm, possibly German-in-
spired, said tlie Nazis had sent TO-
600 reinforcements into restive Den
mark and 10000 into Norway as
anti-invasion moves.

Japs' Offensive

Grave Threat
But Allies Score
Gains in Four Other
Pacific Areas
BY the Associated Press.

Exactly two years after fore
ing a humiliating surrender on
the defenders of the Philippines
the fighting forces of Japan to-
day found themselves on the
offensive in only one of five
theaters of war. But that of

to China.

The Japanese appeared to have
won control of all but 40 miles OF
the Peiping- Hankow rail route, and
to have shifted their main effort
to capturing Loyang, railway cross
road to the northwest. The seizure
of this junction would facilitate a
drive on Chungking, protected
