HUNT FRENCH VESSELS
Final Bitter Dissolution OF
Old Allied Partnership
Appears Under Way

LONDON, July 5-R-In a vast
extension of Britain's defense area"
her last ramparts against German
invasion - the government excluded
the public today from the entire Eng
lish east coast and substantially all
of the southern coast, a II, 000-square
mile region.
While the creation of this big no.
mans land signaled the intensity of
preparations for the supreme test.
British men-of-war searched the seas
for the last fugitive units of the
French fleet-and q final bitter dis
solution of the old Allied partnership
appeared under way because Of what
already has been done by the British
to the bulk Of that fleet.
Protest Presented
In an apparent preliminary to a
formal break-off of all diplomatic
relations between Britain and France
the French charge d'affaires here
presented, on orders, a drastic and
stern" protest against the British &C.
ton against the French fleet in the
Mediterranean.
The London News-C Chronicles
diplomatic correspondent said it was
confirmed officially at Vichy, France,
sea- of the Marshal Petain govern.
ment, that France had broken off
diplomatic relations with Britain.
However, no notification of such
severance had reached the British
foreign office late tonight.
This action destroyed or put out of
action a %, 000-ton battleship, a 26,-
0oO-ton battle cruiser, a 10,000-ton
seaplane carrier and two ~destToyer:.
Along with seizure Of other ships at
Alexandria and in British ports, it
made an end to the old French navy
as an effective force and. destroyed
the plan of France to turn it v e to
Hitler as France had promised to do.
Disposition Of Fleet
Just how many French war ships
remained at large was not discussed
officially, but an authoritative source
said that at the beginning of this

LONDON, July 6.-(saturday)-
R-Keeping up their nightly for
avs, German warplanes attacked
Great Britain again last night and
early today. First reports told Of
no damage.
The air ministry in a brief COM
munique said enemy aircraft cross

anti-aircraft defenses went into &C

Two German bombers were heard
over northeast England early to-
day. They were reported to have
dropped bombs but it was believed
all bombs fell in open country.
Other reports said German raid
ers dropped incendiary bombs on
southeast England.
German bombers raided some
coastal sections of southwest Eng
land, Yorkshire and the Kent
coast yesterday, but were declar-
ed by the air ministry to have
done only slight damage.
The ministry said "a few per-
sons were slightly injured in the
southwest, and made no mention

Interpreting The War

it is improbable that she would
dare now to permit France to re-
arm.
Generations of French hatred and
fear of Germany have been famed
into fresh life by defeat and the
gruesome French casualty lists of
this war. Rather than arming
France, Germany must be on guard
against that smouldering menace.
There can be no question, even
in Nazi minds, that a turn Of the
battle odds against Germany would
stir rumblings of revolt everywhere
in the vast territory she has seized

implications for American neu-
