Paris military authorities suggested the German offensive was weakening. The heaviest artillery duel so far between Mnginot and Sicgricd lines took place early this morning. The French started it and the German guns harked back. In an hour and a quarter it was over, ending as suddenly as it !egan.

While admitting advances by the enemy last night, the French still insisted that the main Weygand Line had not been broken, even under the terrific German assault. Pressure on the left flank had lessened, it was said, apparently moving east. Further German tanks had been trapped. Seven hundred tanks had so far been put out of action. One hundred and fifty Allied planes had dropped tons of explosives on German tanks and lines of communication.
