Of Troops
BY the Associated PreSa.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 3O.-With the Allies
accepting final defeat in Flanders,
the French and British navies set
up shuttle system at the heavily
bombed Channel port of Dunkerque
today to supply bitterly fighting AL
lied troops and remove contingents
by degrees from the Nazi trap.
A military spokesman said the
operation was progressing method
ically amid violent combats on the
two flanks where, with one excep-
ton at Mount Cassel, the German
advance was being held.
The Germans were believed to
have captured Mount Cassel, 2 miles
from the city of Cassel and less than
20 miles south Of Dunkerque.
The spokesman estimated the Ger
mans had thrown 40 divisions. be-
tween 100000 and 6OO, 900 men, into
q converging offensive against an
estimated 800, 900 French and British
troops being rushed to the coast to
escape by sea. y
Doaged resistance Of rear guards
Is protecting the retiring forces and
has allowed an orderly backward
movement.
The sharp fight Of the Allies also
has blocked the Nazi push on the
Allied flanks.
Situation In Flanders.
The military spokesman pictured
the Flanders front As follows:
Allied troops hold . double line,
the first running along the User
River from the vicinity Of Nieuport
to Ypres and the second from the
region Of Gravelines to the out
skirts of Cassel.
British troops are consolidated
principally on both sides Of this
corridor with strong defenses estab-
lished along . counter r-secting Zine
Of mounts" which separates Lille
from Dunkerque.
In the bottom Of this pocket.
southeast Of the mounts, French
troops are protecting the rear.
German attacks have been con-
centrated from st. Omer to Cassel.
Attack Directly on Town.
A secondary Naz attack was re-
ported launched directly on Dunker-
que by strong armored forces, but all
failed except the Mount Cassel
action. .- =.
Dunkerque itself is solidly en-
trenched against German attacks,
and, with Calais, is holding firmly,
military reports said.
Of the coast the Allied feet, de-
scribed as numerous and powerful"
bolstered Dunkerque's defense BY
fire from its guns while other vessels
shuttled in and out of the harbor.
Authorized French circles said
there had not been q Single sur
render" among the French units
fighting up the Flanders corridor
toward Dunkerque.
Flood Gates Opened.
Once deciding that the fight in
Flanders was lost, the Allies opened
flood sluices around Dunkerque and
let the water into an area criss-
crossed by canals and streams to
cover their retreat.
Locks were opened southwest and
northeast of Dunkerque on the great
canal that flows by the city and
follows the coast for many miles.
The French are defending the
region between st. Omer and Cas-
sci while the British are fighting in
the general direction of Bruges to
Dunkerque.

Memorial Day tribute to its war

In Washington, while President
Roosevelt and Congress labored to
make peace more secure, memorial
services in tribute to those who died
in the Nations wars were held at
Arlington and elsewhere throughout
the city.
Constitution avenue echoed to the
tramp of marching feet and the
RUNE of drums as marchers in the
annual Memorial Day parade passed
the reviewing stand.
But something was missing from
the parade For the first time, the
Grand Army of the Republic had
no one in the line of march.

ship. In Howard Pyle'S story of this
hero are found the characters OF
Little John, Alan Dale, Will Scar

Camp Robin Hood is a pleasant
way for girls and boys to read books
that they would like to read, and
