Carl Y. T e n g w a 1 d, commanding. Eighteen recruits are still need ed to bring the company up to authorized strength, the captain stated. The new men enrolled were Don D. Hcyde and Don Sellers, Medford, John Woodrich and Quentin Lewis, Eagle Point, Paul Scofield, Talent, and Frank Rob erts, who previously had served in headquarters company which now is a detachment. Capt. Tengwald also an nounced that Sgt. George I. Hall had re-enlisted. (Continued from fa On.) of eventually stemming the Nazi tide. A French spokesman ad mitted, however, that the situa tion everywhere along the north front is "serious. The German high command was reported preparing to broad cast a "surrender or be de stroyed" ultimatum against the beautiful French capital. In Berlin, a Nazi spokesman said German troops were only as far from the heart of Paris as Zehlendorf is from the center of .Berlin. Zehlendorf is a Berlin suburb, about eight miles out. The French, however, said the nearest German soldiers, were now 23 miles from the French capital. ' Three-Sided Attack Nazi armies were attacking the "last ditch" defenders of Paris from three sides. The German demand for capitulation, Berlin reported, would follow the procedure in the case of Warsaw, capital of Poland, and Rotterdam, capital of Holland. Warsaw, refusing to surrender. was bombed and shelled to ruins. Rotterdam capitulated in time to save much of the city. Berlin asserted the fate of Paris would probably be decided wiinin the next hours." The nazi high command said operations along the entire front were "progressing rapidly" and that columns of the main Ger man army of 2,000,000 men had captured Chalons - Sur - Marne. about 23 miles south of the great rrencn cathedral of Reims. The Germans asserted Reims had already fallen. The French denied it. Conflict Spreads With flames of the main con flict spreading, Turkey reaf firmed her pledges of mutual military assistance to the Allies and dismissed Premier Musso lini's offer to respect her neu trality as "worthless." Egypt, too. verged on iolnlnc the battle. The ancient kingdom of the Nile placed all its com munication systems . air and naval bases and ports at the dis posal of Great Britain, and prom isea lrr "greatest possible as sistance In the war against Italy. While Britain rushed thou sands of fresh troops, tanks and guns to bolster the hard-driven trench defenders of Paris. Pre mier Reynaud of France dra matically announced that the French, if necessary, would with draw to their African posses sionseven their American pos sessions to carry on the war against Germany. He appealed to President Roosevelt for all aid short of an expeditionary force. His statement aDnarentlv doomed German hopes that France might surrender if Paris were captured, as she did in 1870. In its daily communlaue. the German high command reported the rapture of more than 100,- 000 allied prisoners in the 9- ay-old battle of France and said 200 enemy tanks had been cap tured or destroyed In recent I fighting. - , To Fight Oa Premier Reynaud's declara- I tion of France'! grim resolve to fight on even if driven out of France itself included an ap peal to President Roosevelt for a public statement that the United States would give all aid to the allies save an expedi tionary force, and to send help "before it is too late." An estimated 1,000,000 lul ls n fascist troops were reported. poised along the maritime Alps frontier, ready to drive into France. Italy, in her first detailed com munique on operations, report-1 ed air raids "of particular im portance" on the French naval base at Toulon and the French Tunisian base of Bizerta, and claimed the sinking of a cruiser and an oil tanker In the Mediter ranean. : Great Britain, moving the van-1 guard of 120.000 school children out of bomb-conscious London, announced surrender of part of j a division to German forces on' the French coast, where the nazi I high command yesterday claimed capture of 20.000 allied troops and six generals.
