BRITISH EMPIRE WILL FIGHT

UNTIL IT WINS

LONDON, June 16 (Reuter). It is stated in authoritative quarters in London to-night that at a time like the present, it is natural that there should be baseless rumours of peace proposals and negotiations.

It cannot be too clearly and definitely stated that Great Britain is firmly and re- solutely determined to continue the struggle until victory is won.

Even if France's resistance on land should be seriously weakened, she still has the most powerful navy in Europe after the British Navy. This great Allied Fleet is fully capable of enforcing a blockade which will become even more effective as the result of Italy's entry into the war.

Germany has used up her resources on a reckless scale in the present offensive and though her reserves may not yet be exhausted, unless she can defeat the British Empire and its allies within a few months, her chance of defeating them at all will vanlsh.

The tremendous reserves of the British and French Empires, together with those the United States have placed at the disposal of the Allies, will play a weightier

part with each week that passes. And as each week succeeds to week, the manpower,

of Britain will take its place in the struggle with ever-increasing momentum.

In the last few weeks, more men have been called up than in any correspond- ing period in British history, and the figure already attained is certain to be largely exceeded in future.

The production of aeroplanes, arms and ammunitions, continues to increase at great pace, and the supplies now arriving from America in substantial quantities will soon be coming as fast as British ports can deal with them.

Unlike the enemy, whose only hope of victory rests in defeating the Allies within a few weeks or months, Britain is prepared to continue the war just as long as it may be necessary to secure the downfall of her opponents, even though it may take years to accomplish the task.

In their unshakeable determination to achieve victory, no matter it what cost, the governments of the Empire have the united support of their people.

GERMANS POURING ACROSS FRANCE India Wants

TO COMPROMISE THE MAGINOT LINE

The first direction taken by the Germans was along the Marne from Meaux and La Ferte, where units pressing on Paris suddenly swerved castwards as the capital fell, pushing rapidly along the north and south banks of the river to Chalons, Vitry, St. Dizier, Chaumont, Langres and thence across to Vesone-a total distance of almost 130 miles.

Junction Effected

The second push from the Argonne Forest area was made along a line from the frontier at Montmedy through the Forest past famous Verdun-which the Panzer units skirted while artillery systematically bombarded the forts-to Toul, Mirecourt and Epinal, thence striking across country to effect a junction at Vesoul with the units operating from the Paris region..

These operations bring the German units behind the Maginot Line at a depth of about 70 miles.
