not shown any desire TO the

IL has been the strategy

past two days. hoping 10

would accompany infantry

hours of fighting that they
cannot overwhelm a reso-

ed to be fully mechanical.
so that its defensive
strength is still very con-
siderable.
Many more of the allies
seem destined 10 get out of
the Enclosed trap at Dun
kirk. London declares fresh
supplies of munitions are
being sent 10 Dunkirk,
which shows the retreat Is
being conducted as an
organized rear guard action
on a large scale and is not
a disorderly retirement.
Much new data about
offensive tactics has been
learned from the German
success in Flanders. Equal

OF the allied FORCES from
Flanders is reaching pro-
portions that show the
great power of naval CO.
operation in coastal defense
has not been destroyed by
attacking airplanes. Oper-
ations of the Anglo-French
warships off Dunkirk and
eastward are being bril-
liantly directed.
The supplementary pro-
lection afforded them by
the allied counter-offensive
in the air has slowed down
German attempts to sur
round the remnant British
and French divisions TO a
point where it has been i'm
possible for Hitler to spring
his trap.
The success of the allied
retreat across the channel
in the face of a German
aviation blitzkrieg marks
an important advance in
defensive strategy.
The allied warships have
had to move very slowly
up and down the French
and Belgian coastal waters
and even to come to rest
at times, in order to make
their gunfire effective.
Thus, they have offered
themselves as ideal targets
for the Germen airmen.
Yet, the Germans have
not been able to interrupt
the evacuation of the re-
firing troops in any major
manner, nor have the allies
suffered serious losses in
ships.
The escape of thousands
of troops from Dunkirk is
well compared by the Brit
ish to the famous retreat
to Corunna by a British
army during Great Britain's
operations against Napoleon
in Spain.
The Dunkirk retirement,
in fact, has much more i'm
portance than the Corunna
operations because it will
now be necessary for naval
specialists to revise previ-
Gus ideas that airplanes
might become the masters
of warships in a major con-
flict between them. 1t is
evident that the German
planes have failed to drive
the allied vessels away from
the Franco-Belgian coast,
though conditions had been
believed by the German
high command to be very
favorable for such an enter
prise.
An air offensive against
an army in the field is more
destructive than against
wars ips because the
enemy troops are massed
and present far larger tar
gets. A warship, even of
large tonnage, is very diff
cult to hit from a great
height because it is not con-
spicuous. This is a funda-
mental reason for the fail
ure of the Germans to en-
traps the allies at Dunkirk.
Reports from London tell
of numerous small craft
carrying troops and refu-
gees across the channel,
even towing barges being
used to help in the convey
ance. The use Of such in
conspicuous ships is part
of the allied plan to inter-
fere with the visibility OF
the German aviators and
accounts, in part. for the
success of the retreat by
sea. The allies warships
are affording effective pro-
lection to many of the re-
naming troops who are
fighting their way to the
coast. The continuous bar
rage from the big guns has
permitted the allies to re-
establish a new battle line,
