Overhead, warplanes of the R. A..
F. and the French air arm flew on
never-ending missions, bombing the
concentrated efforts of 40 German
infantry divisions and eight Nazi
armored car divisions to close in
from both sides on the pocketed
Allies.
At either side of the harried Allies
were lowland areas flooded to a
depth of several yards to stave off
German thrusts at the embarkation
point.
Added to the protection of opened
locks calculated to bog down Ger
man mechanical divisions were
French sailors and marines en-
trenched around Dunkerque.
Vast stretches behind the high
duned seacoast north and south Of
Dunkerque were gashed by drainage
canals that at low tide carry to the
Channel the Flemish streams which
are too sluggish to make their own

LONDON, May 81 LP.-The
Admrdlty'S communiQue tolloUs::
The secretary of the Admiralty
regrets to announce the loss of
H. M. S. Curlew Capt. B. c. B.
Brooke), sunk as a result of a bomb
ing attack some days ago off the
north coast of Norway.
During recent successful opera
tions in the Narvik area his ma
jesty's ships have been heavily
engaged in bombarding enemy posi-
tions on land and in protecting
occupied coastal areas and conveys.
They have been exposed to inces-
SAINT bombing attacks, in the course
OF which many enemy aircraft have
been destroyed.
The confined and dangerous waters
OIL these coasts restrict the freedom
of movement so greatly that occa-
slonally losses are inevitable.
1t was while engaged in these
most arduous operations that H. M.
S. Curlew was struck by bombs and
subsequently sunk. Difficulty ex-
perienced in ascertaining the names
OF survivors has prevented this an
nouncement from being made be-
fore. 1t is now established that
four officers and five ratings
(sailors) lost their lives and the
next of kin have been informed.

Italians Expected to Strike Before DECLARING War

Wheeler should join Mr.. McNutt in
urging that the President accept re-
nomination the picture would be
materially changed. Mr.. Garner
and his friends have insisted that
the Vice President would be a can
didate for the presidential nomina-
ton even II the name of President
Roosevelt were presented to the
convention. Mr.. Farley has also
declared himself an unconditional
candidate, and only recently it was
clearly indicated that his name also
would be presented to the national
convention.
If the President is to run, the
entrance of Vice President Garner,
Postmaster General Farley and SEN
ator Wheeler in the convention bal
loting would not halt or prevent the
denomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt, be-
cause the vast majority Of the dele
gates would flock to the President at
the drop Of the hat. The re-
nomination Of the President, how
ever, under those circumstances
would miss the quality of unanimity
which would be had II they all
withdrew before the balloting in
favor of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Friends of Mr.. Garner today en-
phatically declared the Vice Pres
ident would not withdraw. The
recent Texas State Democratic Con-
vention was controlled by the Gar
nerites, and the Texas delegation
will be prepared to vote for Mr.
Garner.
The McNutt statement was de-
signed to bring pressure to bear on
Democratic opponents of a. third
term nomination and to start an
even more intensive bandwagon
movement.
Anti-third-term Democrats today
however, pointed out that the Pres
ident still has seven more months
OF his present term to get the ma
tional preparedness program well
under way. If that cannot be &C.
complished in seven months, they
said, the American people wills be
greatly disappointed.
Senator Wheeler, who like Mr.
McNutt had said he was only an "if'
candidate, made this comment ol
Mr.. McNutt's statement:

body else has to worry about tn.

my sincere hope that he will accept
denomination for the presidency.
The matter of precedent becomes
insignificant in view of the danger
to our security, and the hopes or
desires of any individual must be
subordinated to the national inter-
ests. 1t is true that there are able
men In both parties who are capable
of directing the affairs of the Nation
under ordinary circumstances. But
the emergency which faces us is so
critical that it requires the strong
leadership and wealth of experience
in world affairs that the President
alone can provide.
"At every cost, America must
maintain unity and solidarity
which will enable us to throw our
entire strength into the task of pre-
pairing to face hostile world. The
country is behind the President and
his foreign policy. 1t believes that
in his leadership lies the best hope
of peace. I am confident that I ex-
press the sentiment of a large ma
jority Of our citizens in saying that
I want Franklin Roosevelt as the
next President of the United States" !"

German raid was repulsed between
the Meuse and the Moselle.
British and French troops fought
of German attacks east and west
OF Dunkerque. The sea front was
slightly reduced, running approx
mately west of Dunkerque to Nieu-
port.
The eastern wall of the escape
corridor was held by part of the
British Army and one French di-
vision along the User Canal line.
The defense line runs approx
mately from Lambartzyde through
Nieuport, passes eastward to the
vicinity of Dixmude and then de-
scends in the direction of Ypres.
The western wall where the Brit
ish have been reinforced by several
French formations and parts of the
French mechanical units runs from
the coast west of Dunkerque clear
to the western end of the line of
mounts near Cassel. It descends to
the west of Bergues, but veers off
around Cassel, where the Germans
yesterday took the mount of the
same name.
The army under Gen. Prioux ap-
parently was operating in two Sec
tions. One broke through the thin
German line from Cassel to Poper-
inghe, which the Nazis established
temporarily yesterday. The other
units were drawing back in their
area.

force has arrived in France, it was

While the main force of the
