NAZI REICH FELL IN
A
TOTAL RUINS
London, Aug. 9. - Utter national deterioration and total military de- feat brought about the downfall of the Third Reich, an Admiralty report said today. The report based its conclusions on captured docu- ments which, it said, lay to rest forever the legend of an unconquerable, German army. "Germany suffered total milli- tary defeat and there was no possibility of ascribing the de feat to anything exccpt military conquest," the report said.
"The revolt (against Hit'er in July 20, 1944) was squashed long before the end and there were in fact no revolutions and no mutinles to make possible finy future history about the 'unconquerab'e Wehrmacht." "

Giral Forming New Exile Cabinet
- Paris, Aug. 9.
Senor Martinez Bario, President of the Spanish Republican Government-in-exile, has asked Senor Jose Giral, former leader of the Govern ment to form a new Cabinet to succeed the coalition which Senior Rudolfo Llopis, the So- cialist leader, dissolved two days ago. Senor Giral had sent a tele. gram to President Bario, saying that he strongly believed that predominantly Republican coalition Cabinet would have the best chance of success.
д
Senor Giral, a member of the Republican Left Wing Party, has been in Mexico since he re- signed Inst February.
M. Vincent Uripe, the only Communist Minister, resigned shortly afterwards, and it was then decided that the whole Cabinet should follow him, to enable a new coalition to be formed, possibly excluding the Communfate-Reuter.
