ed by the war ministry spokesman
along with a declaration that the
flood waters spouting through locks
opened by the French were holding
back the German effort to smash
Dunkerque, the port of exit for
the fleeing northern Allies.
City Surrounded
The city was surrounded by flood
water standing to average depth
of a foot and a half.

in Flanders was acknowledged,
however, to be Gin difficulties
These men were moving in re-
treat in a bloody %rectangle which
earlier had been reported holding
generally firm under the assaults
of the greatest mechanical Ger
man army ever to take the field.
Two muddy, weary and savagely
punished divisions of the command
of General Rene Jacques Adolphe
Prioux originally totaling about
10000 men-led the strange march
into Dunkerque, the Allied port of
exit to the sea.
(The general himself has been
declared by the Germans to be
their captive.)
They moved through the center
of a great box of men and steel.

tanks like the locked shields that
once protected the legions of
Caesar.
The Allied corridor of escape
stretched from near Lille to Dun
kerque.
Nazis Heighten Attack
In a last effort to annihilate the
already defeated Allied armies, the
Nazis threw into the struggle ten
armored divisions and three motor
lied divisions-virtually their en-
tire mechanical strengthen addi-
ton to numerous infantry divi-
sions.
They smashed with all their
might at Dunkerque, but the
French spokesman acknowledged
that while little was left Of the
docks and quays considerable
quantities" of Allied troops were
embarking regularly in small boats
from which they were being trans
ferred at sea to larger craft.
Off the coast, the British and
French fleets laid down a curtain
of fire around these men.
While this great northern drama
was nearing its close, Italian
journalists were leaving Paris to-
day. A ministry of information g
fetal said that while this did not
mean inevitable" war with Italy
it was possible that the Italians
would enter within a few days.
The French military spokesman
said that now that Flanders was
VIRTUALLY out of the way the cen
trail French armies massed in the
region of the Somme were ready
now for "the second round'-the
first having been the great actions
in the Meuse valley and in Flanders
which ended in German victories.
This next round was expected to
be fought on the Somme-Aisne
front defending Paris.
But there, said the spokesman,
the Germans would find that the
northern Allied resistance has "last-
ed just too long for the Nazis'
good"

GREAT QUAKE RECALLED

Recent slight earth tremors in the
Mississippi valley recall the great earth
quakes of 1811-1812, which conferred at
New Madrid, Mo-, and were the heaviest
shocks ever reported in North America.
Three principal shocks were expert
enced-on December 16, 1911, January
&c and February 7, 1812-with many
lighter Cnes between and after these dates.
These greatest shocks were felt as far
away as Boston, LOO miles distant from
their center. an
Over an area about 100 miles long,
lying in a northwesterly-sou di-
rection, and so or more miles wide, the
earth was in some places raised, in others
depressed, forming ridges, domes and
lakes. The current in the Mississippi river
is said to have been actually reversed for
a short time, and a temporary waterfall
was created
Great cracks opened in the ground,
landSldes fell from the river bluffs, and
the whole surface of the country was
altered. Because the country was very
sparsely settled at that time, the loss of
life and property was very small.
Although many faint earth tremors
are felt in various parts of the United
States from time to time, this country has
been remarkably free from major earth
quake disasters
