Heynand said he realized the gravity or any gesture by the Tuft ed States fu sending aid "before tt is too late." (France's possessions In Ameri ca are French Guiana' In South America; the Islands ofi Martinique and Guadeloupe In the West Indies, and Saint Pierre and MlquePin off the const of Newfoundland.)

By the Associated Press Supported by American-made bombers, Gen. Maximo Wey gand's French poilus hurled the Germans back 5 miles north of Paris today, a French military spokesman said, and the allied line was reported holding elsewhere under the onslaught of 120 naxi divisions. DNB, the official German news agoncy, meanwhile carried a brief dispatch under a Paris datelino saying it was officially an nounced that Paris would not be defended apparently sparing the city from the devastation of war.. With the beteaguerod French capital now declared an "open city" technically inviolate against bombing and shelling -at French spokesman said the French have no intention of fighting In the streots of Paris itself. Battle-weary poilus were holding stubbornly all along the 200-mile line, the spokesman said, despite the fact that many of them have not been relieved since Hitler launched his massive of fensive from the Somme on June 5. The attacking Germans, he said, have boen relieved two or three times. Germans Paying Heavy Prio Gen. Weyqand's deep "quicksand" system of tank traps hat I worked and is still working, according to the best available in formation. But it is another question to withstand the determina tion to sweep every defense point regardless of the cost in men and material. French dispatches repeatedly emphasize that Hitler's armies are paying dearly for every mile of ground gained, and paying too high a price. It is on this basis that the allies pin hopes of eventually stemming the nazi tide. . A French spokesman admitted, however, fhat ftie siuatiort everywhere along the north front is "serious."
