While the majority of the Brit ish press was bitterly denouncing Leopold. Sir Roger issued a state ment requesting that judgment be "suspended on a very gallant sol dier until all the facts are known."

BERLIN, May 28.-(ff)-BelgIan negotiators appointed by King Leopold III of the Belgians ap proached German lines late last night carrying an Illuminated white flag to ask for an armistice, the well-Informed commentary Dlenst Aus Deutschland said to night in describing events leading to the Belgian army's surrender. The Germans replied that un conditional surrender would be the only terms acceptable, the commentary asserted.- The negotiators then recrossed their lines to get instructions and returned several.' hours later with the word that the. terms were ac cepted. Only live hours passed from 11 p.m., Monday, to 4 a.m., Tuesday from the time the nego tiators . first appeared until the Belgian surrender became official. Reports here said Leopold al ready had departed for a "well- known Belgian castle which was placed at his disposal" by Adolf Hitler. An interesting question raised by the capitulation was the fate of the Belgian colonies. - An unveri fled report circulated " In Berlin was' that the Belgian government in Parts, which does not recognise its king's capitulation order, of fered to place the colonies under the protection of France. The commentary said a violent quarrel between Leopold and Generalissimo Maxim Weygand of the allied forces preceded the Belgian action. When Weygand failed to prevail upon the king. it SB's, French Premier Reynaud tried i vainly to reach. Leopold by telephone In an effort to change his mind. The allies tried to satisfy the monarch. It went on, with what tne uermans caneo a "teeoie drive from the south In an effort to relieve the beleaguered troops in Flanders. v ... Dienst said the allies were un able to keep their promises,- that instead the situation became "ca tastrophic" and that Leopold lost patience. It was then, it asserted. that Reynaud tried to communi cate by telephone with the king The king insisted he had con stitutional authority to order ces sation of fighting, the eommen tary went on. Leopold reached his decision to capitulate Sunday, German sources said, whereupon Weygand was ' reported to have made an other visit to him: On this visit he was said to have been told that French aid was inadequate and that the English were mov ing toward tha channel with the apparent Intention of embarking and leaving Belgium to her fate.
