Paris spokesman, who cited
terrific German assaults all
along the western front from
the lower (west) Seine to the
Argonne forest.
The Germans reported ad
vances from SO to 70 miles to
ward Paris "on many fronts"
in the past six days of the ti
tanic struggle.
"Our offensive." it was said,
"is going ahead of schedule."
A report from the Nazi front
said quick-firing German anti
aircraft guns levelled off with
an effective horizontal range of
eight miles, had destroyed 200
Allied tanks.
Italian Coast Bomber.
Rome reported the first ene
my assault on Italian soil since
Premier Mussolini declared war
Monday an unspecified attack
on the Ligurian coast, where
the great Italian shipping port
of Genoa is situated. Earlier,
London had reported a British
bombing attack on northern
Italy.
Mussolini's fascist warriors
meanwhile were reported mass
ing along France's southern
frontier, in the Maritime Alps.
They were said to have been
between 60 tnd 70 divisions
about 600,000 to 1.050,000 men
ready to hurl against the al
ready beleaguered French.
To the quickening beat of
the war tempo, Italy was re
ported to have handed an ulti
matum to Egypt.
The ancitnt kingdom of the
Pharaohs, guardian of Britain's
vital Suez canal, had been spe
cifically exempted from Italy's
war aims as pronounced by
Premier Mussolini if it main
tained Its neutrality.

New York. June 12..
Slocks climbed as much as four
to nine points today as Wall
street saw hope for the defense
of Paris and prospects of long
range improvement in Ameri
can industry.
A buying wave, sparked by
the entrance of ready cash into
the market, shoved transactions
across the floor of the exchange
faster than the tickers could re
cord them during the morning.
About 1.900,000 shares were ex
changed.
Such war stocks as steels, air
crafts, chemicals and motors re
mained in the vanguard through
out the session.
