wITH THE ALLfED TNvADfNG
FORCES IN FRANCE, June s.-The
so-called Atlantic wall along this
coast constitutes the biggest bluff of
the whole war-because it simply
does not exist. Some prisoners said
the Germans had been frantically
trying to complete defenses, but the
task had been too vast for them.
Although we have pushed far in
land without encountering serious
opposition, it must not be imagined
that the Germans will not react as
soon as they have grouped their
panzer forces.
They tried to hold us in the region
of Bayeaux and Caen, but our tanks
were in greater force. We have
thrown into battle British and
American tanks and self-propelled
guns.
Some Of these actions have been
responsible for demoralizing the
enemy. All the French people with
whom I talked spoke of the Nazi
loss of courage. They may not be
beaten, but they are near to it.
Prisoners also said the defeats in
Russia and Italy are known to the
rank and file and they realize 1t is

Fierce Counterattack,
Must Be Expected
Soon, Stimson Says
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Secretary of War Stimson
warned today that savage Ger
man counterattacks In force" are
imminent in France, but report
ed that Allied invasion troops
have established beachheads at
various points between the
mouth of the Seine and the
Cotentin peninsula and have
united some of these beachheads.
German troops are established in
Northern France" Secretary Stim-
son said. Their air force certainly.
has not yet been driven from the
skies. Their military command has
plans of action which undoubtedly
are beginning to move. We must
look for the full fury of savage
counterattacks in force at an early
moment"
In his first press conference since
the invasion, Mr. Stimson warned
that there are hard days ahead"
Let us not make them worse
because of previous cheerful dis
tortion of the facts" he added.
Emphasizing that "only the first
hurdle has been TAKEN" he. repeat
ed a warning that it would be "bad.
indeed, If we permitted super opti-
mism to run away with u.s.
Foothold Is Gained.
We have ''foothold in France, ;"
he said, and "have come to grips
at the beginning of the final test.
At the end there can be but one
decision"
Mr.. Stimson said that more than
1000 planes participated in the
greatest airborne troop operation
ever attempted" A little over. 2
per cent of these planes were last
due to enemy antiaircraft fire, But
there was no enemy air opposition.
Despite German preparations to
meet the invasion, Mr.. Stimson re-
iterated claims that the Germans
were mornentarily taken by surprise.
Nazis Gather Strength.
Local counterattacks have devel-
oped, particularly in the vicinity of
Caen, but the Germans now are
gathering their reserves and NOV
ing for their real counter action,
he said.
Our second step is to consolidate
and repel the local counterattacks
and again move forward" he added,
and 1t would be folly to believe
that the period of counterattack
will be short"
For security reasons Mr.. Stimson
said details of the fighting now in
progress must be withheld, but he
gave assurance that all facilities
possible have been made available
