hear tho French have already nc

terms, lncludinR: unconditional sur
render, occupation of France until
the end of tlio war and surrender
of the French fleet.
IT sounds like hearsay espe
cially the fleet surrender.
The French fleet lias been un
der British command (as the Brit
ish army has been tinder French
command) since the beginning or
the wnr, and it is improbable the
British would let it go, no matter
what the French government
nj;reed to.
Berlin ndmlta (he French fleet
bus probably been "spirited off"
(the term is Berlin's) by the Brit
ish. i A MONO other rumors, tho Span
(sh government radio reports
that many planes
French, have been
presumably
seen flying
over the Mediterranean
toward
Africa.
There are French armies in
Africa. If, as expected, the terms
of surrender include turning over
France's African colonies' to Italy,
these armies may say: "You'll
have to deal with us first."

Several additional cars joined !
the group at Steamboat. Some of
these contained residents of Hose

the fliide and Idleyld district, who
preceded the caravan to Steam

A. C. Marsters Honored
A very pleasant surprise, par-

party, was afforded at the new

A. Marsters of Boseburg was
made by Colonel James Frank

District Co-Organizer
Mr. Marsters wus one of the or

The . new bridge, located 5fi

the North I'mpqua river, was con

the men of Steamboat C'CC camp.
At the north approach to the
bridge, the forest service has
placed a large native stone, upon
which lias been pet bronze name
and dedication plate.
The caravan was halted for 30

Stimson Faces Hearing Before

1 Meet U. S. Sentiment for
Unity, Roosevelt States.
'WASHINGTON, June 21. (AP)
The senate military committee
today ordered hearings on Presi
dent Hoosevelt's nomination of
Henry L. Stimson to be war soere
Uiry, and Stimson himself will be
called to toHtlfy.
': As a momentous senate, debate
over foreign and defense polielos
shaped up around the Stimson ap
pointment nnd that of Col. Frank,
;Knox to be secretary of tho nnvy,
it appeared there would bo no ac
tion on confirmation for more than
al week.
Members of tho military com
mittee, said that demands for hear
ings on Stimson camo chiefly from
republicans but that ouce such a
procedure was decided upon there
was no opposition to calling the
npminee himself,
l Moth Stimson and Knox are In
frank agreement with President
Jlonsevelt's program of material
aid to tho allies.
To critics who charged that ho
was setting up a "war cabinet," tho
chief executive replied in a slate-
ment last night:
"The appointments to tho cabi
net are in lino with the overwhelm
ing sentiment of tho nation for na
tional roiidarity in timo of world
crisis and in behalf of national de
fense and nothing else."

Viii' Sc;nlary Woodriug, whose
resignation the president accepted
to make way for Stimson, was
ouoled by tho Topeka ( Kims. )

By LOUIS P. LOCHNER
COMPIEGNE FOREST, i France, June 21. IAPI Adolf
Hitler reached the highest point of his meteoric career today in
historic Compiegne Forest when he personally received the
French envoys and handod them armistice terms which proclaim
ed the defeat of Franco. -. ,
f The fuehrer chose for the meeting the railway ear in which
Marshal Foeh Foch handod the Germans the 19,18 armistice
terms. .
Thero Hitlor, flanked by his highest military chieftains and
civil officials, faced the four-man French delegation..
The ceremony of prosonting the forms lasted only. 10
minutes.
Threo Major Purposes Set Forth
Colonel General Keitol, chief of the German high com
mand, road the preamble outlining in broad strokes the purposes ,j
of the peace. Hitler and his axis partner, Premier Mussolini, pro- j
pose to impose. . j
These envisaged: ' J
1. Cessation of the war in France. , J
2. Guarantees by France to Germany "necessary for con-- 1
tinuation of the war against Groat Britain." . j
3. A new European peace to follow in which "wrong" done ,
to Germany by "force" would be righted. . i
Not Humiliating For France, Assertion
The peace terms, Hitler said through Keitol, wore not hu
miliating for France. ''
Tho French listenod silently whilo Keitel read, then filed out
to telephone their government, '
Hitler reviewed an honor guard outside the car while the.
band thumpod out. German' in'tfiems;- then' left "Comple'gne-as

Armistice Terms Not Disclosed
Only the preamble, with its statoment of broad purposes,
was made public immediately. The detailed terms for the armi
stice were not disclosed at once. German authorities previously
had said the terms would not bo published until France had ac
cepted or rejected them.
No immediato hour was given for the "cease firing" order,
which is expected to follow swiftly unless France rejects the
axis-dictated terms.
