French Capital Threatened with Fate of Warsaw Unless Unconditional Capitulation

Is Agreed Upon: Germans Refuse To Recognise Paris As Open City

HIGH COMMAND

RADIO

TO SEND ULTIMATUM TO PARIS

IMMEDIATE SURRENDER ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO DESTRUCTION, SAY NAZIS

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH”

Despite the declaration by France that Paris has been proclaimed an Open City and that all troops have been with- drawn and defences abandoned, the German High Command has decided to send a radio ultimatum, demanding the im- mediate surrender of the city.

The city, says a "Domei" message from Berlin, will be reduced to ashes unless the French immediately comply with the German demand. NAZI WARNING OF FATE

The High Command quotes the fate that overcame Warsaw and Rotterdam when they refused to surrender.

The German Government admits the receipt of the report through the U.S. Ambassador, that Paris is now an open and undefended city, but refuses to state whether the German High Command will accept this French notification.
