PARIS, May 10.
The Prime Minister, M. Reynaud, in a broadcast address, said:
"Today, our soldiers of liberty went across the frontier into Belgium/ Free rr^en and women throughout the world hold their breaths. Will bestial force conquer? Today Hitler has thrown off the mask. His attack obviously is against France. It is an old account that has to be settled, an account frequently mentioned in 'Mem Kampf.' "France, calm and strong, has leapt to her feet. This is the hour. We are prepared for battle. There are grave thoughts in all French homes at the hour when our youth risks its life,/but a common ideal, a commpn wish, and a common determination prevails. France is ready."
