secured a similar post at the Uni

he worked until the Nazi invasion

ever, that efforts to form North

clave failed several months ago.
Washingtons delegates, except
for Dewey's four partisans, remain

The state Republican convention
here Saturday watched a short
Dewey rally on the convention
floor. No other open attempt was
made to get the lisp delegates 10
90 on record formally for the New
York presidential sspirant.
Closing minutes saw the conven-
ton pass a resolution instructing
Washington delegates to cooperate
with other western states 10 nomi-
nate the best possible candidate.
Delays Thin Crowd
Dewey supporters claimed
plurality of the delegates already
favored him, and would swing the
state group vote for him on the
first ballot at the national meet.
After listening to a strongly
critical speech by Keynoter Han
ford MacNider Of Iowa rapping the
administrations lack of prepared
ness for war, the convention spent
five hours electing delegates, alter
mates and presidential electors. It
adjourned at 1880 p. m.
Long delays, while county dele
cations caucused repeatedly to de-
eide who they favored for these
posts, thinned the crowd. AS the
convention drew to close, the 15-
plank program, drafted after four
DAYS intensive work by the plat
form committee, was passed with
out being read in its entirety.

trying 10 IolloW the cnannel
coast line. Through the pipe
stem the Germans are send
ing comparatively small
be dies of mechanical
troops, who have succeeded
in swinging along the coast
as far as Boulogne and near
Calais.
If this turn backward of
the pipe stem toward the
bowl were to be continued,
it would bring the stem
back to the upper rim of the
pipe, enclosing the allies
within the circle.
But, even then, the posi-
ton of the allied troops
would not be desperate, as
long as the German troops
occupying the channel coast
were no stronger than pres
ent reports indicate.
The desperate fighting
that has been taking place
in the district about Valen-
ciennes, Cambria and st.
Quentin represents an at
tempt by the allies to cut
the stem from the bowl of
the pipe, isolating the Ger
mans who have gone
through the stem toward
the channel. Only partial
success has rewarded this
movement.
Today's announcement
that the French have re-
tired from their Valen-
ciennes positions to a less
exposed zone in the face of
violent German attacks
shows the desperate efforts
the Nazis are making to
preserve the continuity of
the pipe stem.
The Germans, however,
cannot afford to send heavy
reinforcements through the
stem. To do so would seri-
ously weaken their main
positions along the outer
side of the bowl. 1t is here
that the final decision of
the Flanders fighting will
be given.
The allies have stopped
the "blitzkrieg" along this
line, for the time being. If
they can continue to do so,
the battle front will become
stabilized to the disadvan-
tage of the Germans.
Channel ports remaining
in possession of the allies
include Zeebrugge, 0stend,
Newport and Dunkerque.
Supplies and reinforce
ments from England, trans
ported by night to evade
German aviators, still can
use these entrances into
Flanders.
Boulogne, itself, because
of limited railway facilities,
has not been a major trans
portation center. The other
ports, with Calais, are much
more important.
The Germans will have to
put forth greater effort
than they have yet shown
to break out of the bowl of
their pipe and consolidate
and enlarge their channel
positions. To hold them
within the bowl is now the
major strategic objective of
the allied forces.
