One of the most important occa-
sions in the years schedule of holi-
days is the Christmas dinner. AS
homemakers, it behooves us to
crown it with superlative dessert.
Cakes, fragrant with spices, and
rich with fruits and nuts, are tradi-
tional Christmas fare, and are more
than satisfying as a finale to the
feast.
Fruit cakes improve with age.
They become mellow and more fla
vorsome as the days 60 by. So,
make them early and let them ripen
until the holiday season arrives.
Proper storage prevents fruit cakes
from molding and drying out. Wrap
the cooled cakes in wax paper, and
store In tightly covered tins. Pour a
little wine or fruit juice over the
cakes, every week or so, and when
ready to be served they will be mel
lowed to the proper degree.
Make out your Christmas list now.

Nazis Close Death Trap on Big Army
As British Throw Air Force Power
Into Protective Drive: Morale High

ritory in two
The sector had been riddled by
crisS crossing German columns,
each one reducing the Allied ter
ritory until today there was little
more left than bridgeheadS at the
last two ports of Dunkirk and Zee
brugge through which the dcSpcr-
ate effort at evacuation was being
made.
German losses in the effort 10
deal an annihiating blow at the
Allied army of the north were
known to be large. The German high
command admitted that fighting
had been desperate.
1t was doubted that Zccbrugge,
- miles up the Belgian coast from
OStend and now almost surrounded
by the Germans, could hold out
long At Dunkirk the situation was
little betteg although the British
rear guard action in this area was
powerful.
The French high command claim
ed that some French troops still
we're holding out in the channel
port of Calais. nearest to England.
With fighting going on in the city,
however. ii was obvious that this
port was unuSablc for evacuation
purposes.
Both the French and British
high commands praised their trap
ped northern troops for valiant
lighting against terrific odds.
The hope which had been eX-
pressed in both London and Paris
that Gen. Maxine Weygand might
be able to organize large scale
counter attack from the south in
time to relieve the pressure on the
northern army had faded. ANY at
tack now, it was felt, would probably
come too late to aid the beleaguered
northern troops.
Both the French and the British
air forces were striking hard at
the German communications lines
and supply centers but while heavy
damage was reported the German
attacks in the north were relentless
Bombing was carried on behind the
German lines as far as HAMBURG
and Bremen.
An official French analysis claim
cd that the Allied forces had de-
stroyed 1000 of 5000 German tanks
thus far engaged and that 1000
planes. representing half of the
German first line combat and bomb
er aircraft. had been DESTROYED.
The analysis said tnat the French
had definite proof that the Ger
man army was winded after three
weeks of effort and that there was
no military reason to justify Leo
polds untimely capitulation.

A complete German triumph IL
the battle of Flanders-and there
was little from the Allied side to
indicate any other result-would
mean that Adolf Hltler'S armies
mad established themselves with
q front from Luxembourg along the
River Somme to the English Chan
Nel. This solid wedge between
France and England would provide
the basis for striking either at
Paris or the British Isles.
Responsible Nazi sources indi-
Gated that Hitler would choose to
hold the Somme front in France
and turn the full strength of Ger

argued, would be done because the
defeat of France would not neces-
