Dunkerque has fallen. Forty

OF material has been captured.
Thus the greatest battle in
world history has been concluded.
Soldiers! My confidence in
you is boundless.
You did not disillusion me.
The most audacious plan Of
war history was realized through
your unexampled courageous
ness, through your energy of
withstanding the greatest strain
and through hardest exertion
and hardships.
Soldiers, in q few weeks you
have in the hardest fight, often

forced two states to capltulate,
destroyed Frances best divisions

Rivalry Of Efforts
For German Reich.
All units of the armed force on
land and in the air excelled each
other in the noblest rivalry of ef-
. forts for our people and the
great German Reich.
The courageous men of our
navy have participated in these
deeds. Soldiers, many of you
have sealed their loyalty with
life, others are wounded. The
hearts of our people are with
you in the deepest gratitude.
The plutocratic rulers of Eng
land and France, however, who
pledged each other to avoid with
all means the bloom of new and
better world, want a continuation
Of the war.
Their desire shall be realized.
Soldiers, beginning today the west
front is ready to march again.
Numerous new divisions are as
siSting you who for the first time
will see defeat of an opponent.
The struggle for the liberty of
our people, for being or not being

will be continued until the de-

in London and Paris who still
believe in war being the better
means for realization of their
plans hostile to the peoples.

Part Of Main Body Of Estate

Proceeds from securities belonging
to the late Mrs Mary Harlan Lincoln
and stock dividends declared after
she died, should revert to the main
body of her estate and cannot be
distributed to the heirs as income,
the United States Court of Appeals
held today. Mrs. Lincoln was the
Of the Civil War President.
The appellate courts ruling re-
versed q District Court decision
giving the trustees discretion in the
ALLEGATION Of the so-called income,
and sustained the American Security
81 Trust Co., one of the executors,
which contended the property should
be added to the main body Of the
estate.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner,
joining in the decision by Associate
Justice Harold M. Stephens, said it
has long been the law here that stock
dividends shall be distributed as the
main body of an estate, and that it
has been settled that "administra-
tive income" shall be disposed Of
likewise. Associate Justice Wiley
Rutledge dissented, saying that
under similar circumstances the
courts consistently refuse to interfere
with decisions made by trustees.

were Attorneys Frederick D. Nc
