Nazi-Soviet VICHY ADMITS FALL Rupture Considered OF SIDON: FIGHTING Inevitable SLOWS DOWN IN SYRIA

ADMITS FALL Beating The Blockade

But New Economic Agreement Reached ANKARA, June 15 (UP) — Informed neutral diplomatic clr- cles to-day asserted that intense military activity is progressing in both sides of the Russo- German frontier. They are of the opinion that a Nazl attack on Russia is "inevitable" unless the Soviets agree to help feed the Nazi occupied areas of Europe.

Diplomatic circles stated that the Germans apparently feel confident that Russian armed forces could be destroyed within six weeks, but prefer an attack in the autumn after the harvests have been garnered.

They asserted that Germany's troop concentrations are evidently prepared to attack unless Russla grants the Nazis reputed basic de- mand to deliver whatever wheat and other supplies are needed to prevent a famine in the German occupied areas of Europe.

Economic Agreement STOCKHOLM, June 15 (UP) Neutral diplomatic eireles learned to- day that Germany and Russia, during the past few days, signed a

It is understood that the new economic. agreement does not solve the alleged German-Russian political tension, but may explain the recent contradictory reports of Russo-Ger- man relations.

LONDON, JUNE 15 (REUTER) -THE CAPTURE OF SIDON, THE LEBANESE PORT 25 MILES SOUTH OF BEIRUT, IS ADMITTED IN TO-DAY'S FRENCH ARMY COMMUNIQUE, SAYS A VICHY TELEGRAM TO THE OFFICIAL GERMAN NEWS AGENCY.

Admitting a forced retirement from Sidon, to-day's French Army communique from Syria says that in an effort to alleviate the violent pressure exercised on their coastal dotachments, bombing planes twice attacked British ships, causing them momentarily to withdraw from the coast.

CAIRO, June 15 (Reuter).The R.A.F. again raided Calato aerodrome in Rhodes during the night of June 13-14 when a number of Axis planes in the dispersal area were set on fire, says an R.A.F. Middle East communique,

Successful attacks were also made on landing grounds at Benina, Gazała and Derna.

This, it is claimed, greatly helped their troops to hold Sidon until night and to effect later on Saturday a "prescribed" withdrawal to positions further north where, it is stated, Vichy troops are "obstinately resist ing the powerful combined efforts of the British Fleet and land forces."

New air reinforcements from France are arriving' in the Levant, declares the communique, which claims that during the night of June 13-14, Vichy air forces harassed the Allies south of Sidon.
