 The Prime Minister further said: In view of the troops now ln this country, invasion will require hos tile armies on very large scaie and we have navy"
 Churchill declared that any in- vading army would be drowned in the sea or blown to pieces while trying to land.
 Comment from Hitler was that cooperation between the BritSh and French soldiers in the bloody battle of Flanders ran none too smoothly, while the suggestion of lack of cooperation between British and French was made more strid- ently in Rome where officials of the Stefani News Agency spoke of "a gigantic feeling of hatred to- ward England" in France. and said Churchill had told the House of Commons that the entire British Ex- peditionary Force in France was thrown out of action" because the French command had failed to withdraw northern armies in Bel gium at the critical moment.

 Have Escaped

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June Is. The Canadian steamer Niagara was abandoned by her crew be- tween Australia and New Zealand today after a terrific explosion in her number two hold. sos mes sages picked up by the liner Presi- dent Cleveland, 1,250 miles west Of Honolulu, were relayed to the Globe Wireless Station at San Francisco.
 The first message said that the hold of the Niagara was filling rapidly and that the ship was all most completely disabled. The Cap- tain advised that he was heading toward the group of small islands known as the Hen and Chickens
 Half an hour later the crew aban- doned the Niagara in life boats.
 It is presumed that all were re- moved safely, as there was no mention of any deaths or injuries.
 The Niagara sank six miles off Marotira Island. The American steamer West Harshaw enroute from Auckland to Sydney, radioed that she was proceeding to the aid of the Niagara.
 The Niagara operated out of Vancouver, Wash, and was on her way to Ackland, N. Z., by way of Honolulu.
