General De Gaulle Says War Must Be Continued

INVITATION TO FREE FRENCHMEN TO RALLY ROUND HIM

LONDON, June 24 (Router) An inspiring message to French- men all over the world to continue the fight against Germany, was given in a broadcast yesterday by General De Gaulle Under-Se- cretary for War in M. Reynaud's Government,

He said that armistice meant that French forces on land, ses and air will be completely dismembered, that the whole territory of France will be occupied and the French Government will be under the domination of Germany and Italy, This attitude would be one not only of capitulation, but also of servitude. Many French- men do not accept either the capitulation or servitude. Their rea- sons are honour, common sense and the "supreme interests of their country, nat
