(CP)
Tallin,
Turtu
and
other
large
towns
in
Esthonia
were
occupied
today
by
Soviet
troops
who
marched
in
shortly
after
theffovernment
had

MqscowIs
ultimatum
llfrwfiflfrtf
ntflltiiry
control
on
the
grounds
that
terms
of
an
non-aggression
pact
with
Russia
had
been
violated
not
only
by
Esthonia
but
by
Latvia
and
Lithuania.
Latvia,
which
had
shown
a
disposition
to
resist
a
similar
ultimatum,
was
also
entered
by
Soviet
soldiers.
President
Smetona
and
his
government
of
Lithuania
were
announced
to
have
fled
to
Germany
where
they
were
interned,
leaving
Lithuania
in
complete
subjection
to
Russia.
Soviet
intentions
aroused
much
speculation
among
observers
who
argued
that
the
Soviet
troop
concentrations
were
considerably
larger
than
were
necessary
for
the
domination
of
small
Baltic
States
where
Russia
already
has
bases.
The
belief
is
that
Russia
is
making
these
moves
to
protect
herself
in
the
light
of
latest
European
developments.
In
Moscow
it
was
denied
that
Russia
had
moved
to
strengthen
non-aggression
pacts
with
Rou-mania,
Yugoslavia
and
Turkey.

LONDON,

Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
reiterated
today
that
Great
Britain
will
fight
on
alone
with
ev
ery
hope
of
success
until
Hitler
is
conquered.
"We
have
become
the
sole
chamnion
now
in
arms
to
defend
the
world
cause."
said
Churchill.
"We
shall
do
our
best
to
be
worthy
of
that
high
honor.
We
shall
defend
our
island
and,
with
the
British
Empire
around
us,
we
shall
fight
on,
unconquerable,
until
the
curse
of
Hitler
is
lifted
from
the
brows
of
men.
"We
are
sure
in
the
end
all
will
be
well."
Churchill
made
this
declaration
in

this
evening.
Churchill
attended
three
French
cabinet
sessions
yesterday.
Mr.

stated

TABLE"
WHAT
WILL
HAPPEN
TO
FRENCH
NAVY
With
the
Spanish
ambassador
to
France
mentioned
as
a
possible
intermediary,
the
Republic
of
France,
under
its
new
Premier,
Marshal
Henri
Phillippe
Petain,
today
sought
an
"honorable
peace"
with
Germany.
Great
Britain
is
reported
to
have
already
accepted
the
'tragic
yet
inevitable"
situation,
expressing
determination
to
fight
on
alone
although
much
may
depend
upon
the
disposition
of
the
French
Navy,
air
force
arid
colonial
possessions.
The
French
Navy
is
the
second
strongest
in
Europe.
There
is
not
the
slightest
attempt
in
Great
Britain
to
blame
France.
A
peace
offensive,
possibly
through
the
United
States,
may
be
Hitler's
next
move.
The
German
Foreign
Office
in
Berlin
refused
to
comment
on
the
situation
early
today.
A
voice
believed
to
be
that
of
the
Sl-year-old
Premier
Petain
was
heard
on
the
French
radio
wave
length
today,
announcing
that
France
must
give
up
the
fight.
He
said
he
had
entered
into
negotiations
with
the
enemy
last
night
to
see
whether
an
agreement
could
be
reached.
.At
the
same
time
the
National
Broadcasting
Co.
in
New
York
reported
that
Marshal
Petain,
in
a
brief
message,
had
announced
France's
capitulation
to
ijGermany.
i
'The
battle
has
had
to
cease
during
the
night,"
Petain
said.
"I
have
approached
the
enemy
with
a
view
to
finding
out
whether
he
would
be
prepared
to
put
an
honorable
end
to
hostilities."
Petain,
the
S
1-year-old
"Hero
of
Verdun"
succeeded
Paul
Kcynaud
as
Premier
last
night,
naming
Former
Premier
Camille
Chautemps
as
vice-Premier
and
General
Maxime
Wcygand
as
minister
of
war.
.
The
report
of
French
capitulation
brought
London
comment
that
Great
Britain
would
fight
on
until
victory
was
achieved
even
though
the
support
of
France
on
land
was
lost.
Speaking
at
Lincoln,
Sir
Neville
Henderson,
British
ambassador
to
Berlin
before
the
war,
said
he
expected
Chancellor
Adolf
Hitler
to
attempt
an
invasion
of
Great
Britain
this
month'
or
in
July.
Berlin
radio
broadcast
an
"official
announcement"
that
Marshal
Petain"
has
proclaimed
France's
capitulation"
and
said
that
Chancellor
Hitler
would
meet
Mussolini
shortly
to
discuss
the
situation.
Hitler
and
Mussolini
will
meet
to
formulate
the
attitude
of
