CBy Associated Press)
LONDON. May 2l.-Mafching
reports of additional Allied losses
on the West Front in the head
lines of Europe today. was an as
tonishing speech made TO the
French parliament this morning
in which traiforous negligence
was charged to several army
heads.
Late dispatches indicated that
the Germans had pushed across
northwestern France with several
mechanical units, through
Amiens and on to Abbeville on
the English channel coast. This
move is reported to have several
divisions of British and Belgium
troops on Belgian soil completely
surrounded, although the Allied
heads appeared to be not great
ly concerned over danger of cap
ture.
Premier Paul Reynaud's speech
to parliament accused several
army heads of criminal negli-
gence in allowing Nazi troops to
push across the Mouse river
Revelations brought out that a
main-sector bridge was not
blown up following retreat, de-
spite orders given earlier.
Reynaud stated that court mar
tialS will be held soon to fix guilt
for the reasonable act, and that
call traitors of France" will be
shot Immediately.
Prefacing his speech today,
Reynaud stated that France is
in danger" and continued to un-
cover the facts of the retreat
that had allowed a major adj
vance across the Mouse river,
previously thought invincible
against Nazi advances. The
French Premier also spoke about
the future possibility of help
from abroad" when he stated that
many nations on the other side
of the ocean now realize the con-
ditionS now prevalent in Europe
and he hoped that they wouldn't
come to a full understanding too
late. He ended his talk with
the ascertain that-"the Allies
will win in their fight against
dictatorship.

feveriSh preparations are being
made to counterfeit threatened
arrival of Nazi parachute units.
War department orders describe
infinitely actions to be followed
by the local defense units set up
to fight the menace.
Belgium'S cause appeared des-
perate today in view of the Ger
man thanking movement that has
cutoff France entirely from her
nation. Stiff resistance. however,
is being accorded all Nazi efforts
to push her troops into the Eng
lish channel
All territory behind the Nazi
lines in France is being treated

bodyguard? Where do you want to go first"
Il want to 60 home" says Dan.
Don't be silly" says Mona But suppose
we forget the hot spots and get sentimental
around the scenes of our childhood"
She noses Dams car into the crowd and
breaks way through and off they go. First
she heads for the old neighborhood, and parks
in front of the school and talks about the time
she heaves a rock at Dan and misses and
breaks the window in the principals office.
Next they tour around, and she insists on
chocolate nut sundae at the old drugstore,
and Dan is so hungry without his dinner he
goes for two of them with her, even though he
knows how he will feel in another half hour.
Then comes the Rosedale Dance Hall, which
is a dime dance place where Mona goes on
her first date when she is sweet sixteen. Mona
is as happy as a kid and after an hour she
says she would now like to drive the hook
and-ladder through the streets because that
is always her ambition when she is a kid. As
long as she has the key to the city she thinks
it should be easy.
Ian manages to talk her out of the hook
and bladder, but he cannot talk her into going
home. They end up at the amusement park,
and Mona lets loose in a big way. She doesn't
get enough of the roller coaster until they
have five rides which is no way to treat two
chocolate nut sundaes in an empty stomach.
Every fifteen minutes Dan says he wants to
go home. and every time she tells him he can
go, but suppose she is mobbed or kidnapped
or murdered? Along about midnight she
yawns the first time. At one o'clock he man.

Her party is all over, and there isn't
sound from inside as Dan puts the key in the
door to open it for her. He holds out his hand
to say good night, but she shakes her head
You'd better come in," she says. Once
when l come back to hotel late l find
whole high-school fraternity waiting with
autograph books and they almost pull out my
hair to get souvenirs"
So Dan steps inside, and all is quiet except
for the ringing of a telephone in the alcove
beyond. Mona says it must be her studio in
Los Angeles and she goes to answer it and Dan
lights up cigarette. Just as he losses away
the match. three guys he has never seen be-
