The tea is intended to stimulate
large-scale knitting of sea boot"

ually been reduced to mere rear
guards and that the Allies are
counting on making their main
stand on the French frontier de-
lenses, their left resting on Dun
kerque. The presence Of the Ger
man armored troops in rear of this
position (Gravelines, st. Omer, Lii
lers, and so on imperils such
hope, but does not destroy it unless
the Germans are in much greater
strength in French Flanders than
there is now reason to suppose.
There still remains the chance
that the British may have put in
enough reinforcements in Western
Belgium to further contest the area
between the Scheldt and the Bel
gian coast. This would be more
hopeful if, meanwhile, the Ba-
paume-Peronne gap could be closed,
the German armored units mopped
up, and normal communications be-
tween France and Flanders restored.
But this last would probably take,
even with the gap closed. locked and
tightly held, matter of two weeks
Or so. Hence. with Ghent and Tour
mai gone df the German claims are
true) there does not appear much
hope of stabilization on the Scheldt,
and the Dunkerque-Lille line prob
ably represents the brightest Allied
possibility though even this is far
from being certainty.
Stand on Bold Tactics.
The Germans are standing great
deal on the success of their bold
tactics. They have cut off the armies
of Flanders from direct contact with
the French Armies in the south. The
question is whether they can MAIN
tain this position until their pow
erful right wing can strike with
full force against the Flanders ar
mics. They are using their armored
raiding troops to cut up the sur
rounded forces in every possible di-
rection, and to interfere with their
last routes of reinforcement and
supply.
That the situation is described as
increasingly grave by the British
Prime Minister is not to be won-
dered at. If the Allies can close
the Bapaume-Peronne gap and
thereafter maintain stabilized
front. they have won much; If they
cannot, they will probably have to
defend France on the Somme and
the Aisne, they will have lost the
greater part if not all of the armies
of Flanders, and the French coast
of the Straits of Dover will be in
German hands, so that Germany
will command the whole of the North
Sea coast from north of Trondheim
in Norway to the mouth of the
Somme, with incalculable conse-
quences for Great Britain.
The crisis of this titanic struggle
is developing on the battlefield OF
the Somme, with the old familiar
names of Bapaume, Peronne, Cam
brai, Albert, Amiens once more in
the forefront of history. It may we'll
be that the future of the world for
this generation is being decided
there during these present days.

unusual type of button-front. The
buttons come only to the waistline,

over 70 one side, with plenty of lap
