Ordered Laval Arrest
To Prevent War With
Britain, Pefain Says
Feared Use of French
Troops to Seize Africon
Colonies From De GuuIIe
gy the Associated Press.

]
PARIS, July 21.-Marshal Pc
tain testified today that he had
Pierre Laval arrested December
13, 1910, to prevent Laval from
using French troops to seize
African colonies which had
joined Gen. Charles de GaulleIs
Free French movement.
He said he did this because he was
afraid such action would result in
war between Britain and France
The fugitive Laval at present is
under detention in Spain.
The 89-year-old marshal, facing
trial Monday on charge of having
intelligence with the enemy, was a
witness at a preliminary hearing
of Marcel Peyrouton, former min
lister of the interior in the Vichy
government, who faces similar
charge.
Taken to Fort for Hearing.
Peyrouton was taken to grim
Fort Demontrouge for the hearing
and there Judge Milton questioned
the marshal and the civil minister
on the Laval affair.
Petain corroborated Peyrouton's
version of the Vichy premier's ar
rest and said he ordered it when il
became apparent that Laval in.
tended to use armed force to seizt
the colonies, beginning with Tchad
then serving as relay point or
the Brazzaville to Cairo route.
The question of retaking the col.
onies was the immediate cause oi
the arrest, Petain asserted, adding
that he also wanted to stop Laval;
entire course of complete collabora-
ton.
The aged marshal said German
pressure forced Lavars release after
a short time. But he asserted that
Laval never regained his Vichy posi-
ton and never influenced Vichy de-
cisions after his arrest.
Petain's Trial Begins Monday.
Laval'S arrest never was adequate
ly explained by the Vichy govern
ment, but the accepted version al
that time was that it followed q
cabinet row over Laval's agreement
to move the French government
from Vichy to Paris.
Petains corroboration of Peyrou.
tons statements today came az
preparations neared completion fol
the marshals trial on Monday.
A responsible source in the SUI.
preme court disclosed that the STATE
planned to base its case against
Petain on IA questions relative tc

New EncircIing Drive
Puts Chinese Forces
8 Miles From KweiIir
Enemy's Counterblows
Broken Up; Fighting
Roees in Poishou
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, July 21.-Chi-
neSe troops have fought their
way within 8 miles of Kweilin in
a new encircling drive against
the great South China air base,
after breaking up powerful jap
anese counterattacks yesterday,
the Chungking high command
said today. p
Japanese rearguards holding on
to the air base, the biggest of those
abandoned last year by the United
States 14th Air Force-counterat-
tackled yesterday morning with all
the force they could muster.
The enemy blows were mounted
from Paishou. Is miles west of Kwei-
lin, lining, II miles northwest and
ChaiShu, 81 miles northeast, on the
Kweilin garrison's escape railroad to
Hengyang, communique said.
Chinese veterans, absorbing the
blows, quickly recovered and totally
frustrated" the japanese attacks.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek's
soldiers then attacked, pressing on
Kweilin from the north, and reached
point miles from the city, the
Chinese said.
Street Fight in Paishou.
After repelling a Japanese blow
from the walled town of Paishou
one of the main japanese strong
holds guarding Kweilin's western
approaches, the Chinese broke into
the town through the south gate and
street fighting now is in progress,
the communique said.
The capture of point 8 miles
north of KWeilin carried the ad-
vancing Chinese within 2 miles of
the enemy escape route to Heng-
yang. Earlier in the week, the
Chinese established a roadblock at
Chaishu, but the high command in
dicated that Japanese counterat-
tacks had freed the route for a pre-
carious enemy withdrawal.
BY battering toward the railroad
just north of the city, the Chinese
were clamping a pincer on Kweilin
in an effort to encircle the base.
Below the Kwangsi Province capi-
tai, the southern arm swept again
into Liangfeng, Is miles south, with
the support of American fighter
planes, which killed 200 enemy
troops.
Seizure of the Japanese strong
point also threatened to encircle the
highway center of lining, whose fall
would open another way to Kwelin.
Chinese columns converging on
lining captured points AZ miles
from the town, the communique
said.
Fighting was raging on three sides
of Kweilin and the Japanese were
