By The Associated Press
¡British Prime Minister Winston Churchill mudo a
(laming appeal today (Sunday) to Frenchmen everywhere
to fight on at Britain's side against Germany, despite
French capitulation last night to a German armistice
which he said no Tree and independent French goveni-
m§n could have accepted.
Frankly going over the heads of the Bordeaux
government Churchill said that the German terms, if
accepted by all Frenchmen, would force the French to
work against their allies, would use the soil of France
a# a means of attacking Britain, and would turn the
French navy and Empire over to Germany.
Despite ail this, he declared, Britain will "cherish
the causo of the Krench people," and a RMitish victory
is France's only hope for restoration and freedom.
Actually, the terms of the grim document which
wet-eyed French plenipo-
tentiaries signed last night
in the gloomy depths of
Compiegnc forest were not
disclosed.
