FIGHTING CONTIN BERLIN, June 17.—This after- noon the fighting was continuing on all fronts in France with the Germans reportedly making more rapid advances than before. In the m time is seemed cer- tain that arrangements had been completed for Chancelor Hitler and Premier Mussolini to meet to con- sider on what terms they will make peace with beaten France. Reports were that the Nazi and Fascist dic- \oward tators would meet at Munich, where Hitler staged his first rise to power. The fierce fighting continued on| all fronts and the German High Command said that it will continue until Hitler and Mussolini have had time to discuss the French move toward peace, It was believed in authorative circles that the two Dictators would demand a com- plete and unconditional surrender by the French, and reject pleas for a so-called “honorable negotiation of peace.” PETAIN'S BROADCAST BORDEAUX, June 17.—In a dio message to the people of France Premier Petain said: “People France, today I assumed the direc- tion of the Government of France.
