threatening England with all the
horror of Nazi air attack across the
narrow Straits of Dover.
Paris, however, says the main
battle front is. we'll eastward of the
Cambrai-Peronne line. The French
place the major fighting on the
front between La Fere, which is due
south of, st. Quentin, and Landre'
cies, which is southwest of Maui
beuge. Both, are on the Sambre
river, but it has already been
crossed westward by the Germans on
a relatively wide front, as has the
Somme at st. Quentin.
At least 100000 Allied troops, ex-
elusive of remnants of the Dutch
army, are imperiled in the Flanders
area by the Nazi thrust westward
from the Oise-Sambre crossings. In
the struggle to prevent these forces
from being caught in the Nazi trap,
the s-Cambraj
triangle is a crucial sector.
Between Valenciennes and Mau.
beuge, Berlin claims to have beaten
back a Franco-Belgian force attempt
ing to escape" southwark. Berlin
also asserts that the British in
Flanders are racing by forced
marches for the channel ports. There
is no reason to doubt it, although it
may not yet be a dash to reembark,
but a sweeping retirement to a new
line of defense.
That is the grim picture confront
ing the new Allied supreme COM
mander, General Weygand, as he
takes over. 1t suggests that he
must be making frantic efforts to
shift French reserves swiftly around
the westward extension of the Ger
man bulge.
A desperate stand west of the pre-
sent line could be made to saw a
complete rupture of the Allied
armies. 1t also would protect French
and Belgian channel ports which,
if they fell into German hands, could
be used for a massed air attack or
even attempted invasion of England.
Unless the German spearhead
through the Cambraiperonne gate
way to the channel south of the
Straits of Dover can be halted, how
ever, an Allied disaster of incalcul-
able consequences is impending in
Flanders.
Several factors tighten the situa-
ton somewhat for the Allies. The
German westward thrust is still con-
fined to so narrow a front that 1t
is obviously susceptible to flank at
tacks from both sides. Paris insists
that Berlain claims of having reach
ed the Cambrai-Peronne Line refer
red only to nazi motorcycle scouts
withdrawn as hastily as they came.

the British desired to withdraw Ito
their island"
DNB added that the British had
meen withdrawn from the Maginot
line to channel ports.
Although not telling defnitel
why the German steel sheathed
spearheads on the west side of the
bulge had swerved from the road
to Paris, the high command point
ed out that they had plunged 20 to
80 miles westward from st. QUEEN
tin, which is 80 miles below Cam
brai, in a days attack.
The Germans estimate that 3OO,-
600 British on the Belgian-French
front would be in danger of being
punched off from the main Allied
forces if the Nazi drive toward the
coast succeeds.
In addition to the British, they
appraised the Allied strength in
their path through Belgium as
roughly more than 1000, 900 French
and ESQ, QUO BelglanS.
Pushing Offensive
In Paris, five German mechan-
ICED divisions-60,0 900 men attack
ing in tanks and armored cars
we're said to be pushing the often
sive across Frances northern
plains.)
Combined French-Belgian forces
strongly counterattacked on the
old Somme battlefield, soaked in
the blood of both armies in 1916,
but the Germans said they had
driven back the Allies despite a
tank onslaught. This was on a
front between Cambria and Pc
rome, about 20 to 80 miles north
west of st. Quentin, where tn e
Nazis had reached a point about
80 miles northeast of Paris.
The French not only were re-
sisting in that sector, the Germans
acknowledged, but another French
Belgian army, facing entrapment
in Belgium by the Nazis' west
ward thrust, also had tried to
make a stand between Valenci-
ennes and Maubeuge, near the Bel
gian border. There, too, the effort
failed, the Nazis said, d the
French-Belgian allies headed west
ward to try to get around the Ger
man %spearpoint already between
them and Paris.
British Fall Back
The high command earlier had
reported a withdrawal of these
forces between Valenciennes and
Maubeuge while the British fell
back toward the channel ports IN
der forced march with the Ger
mans in pursuit. .
Evidently in an effort to relieve
the pressure on the Somme and to
gain time for a withdrawal from
part of Belgium, the French also
attacked with tanks in the region
of Laon, on the south edge Of the
bulge to St. Quentin"
n (This is the front where, accord
ing to reports reaching SWitzer-
land, heavy French forces, includ-
ing large tank and armored car
divisions, have been assembled.
Shaping Pincers
General Maxine Weygand, the
new Allied commander-in-chief
was reported in Basel apparently
shaping a powerful pincers coun-
ter%-offensive with n force strik-
ing from the vicinity of Laon and
Rethel and the other trying to
squeeze the opposite side of the
German bulge from Valenciennes).
The Germans, however, said the
French tank attack "a repealed

The German army, meanwhile,

vent enemy withdrawal and to him

this was borne by the air force.

The plane makers met while ap-
preparations to cover h e Presi-
dents defense program were push
ed along in congress with a speed
born of a widespread feeling of
er rgency. With scarcely two
hours dis~ cussion, the senate appro-
priations committee approved a

army, including $545, ITO, 1854 Of the

Plan Debate
Administration leaders arranged
to call up the measure for debate
in the senate tomorrow, with the
expectation that it would go speed
lily to the house and probably re
ready for Mr.. Roosevelt's sigma
ture by the end of the week.
The house military committee
and an appropriations subcommit-
tee worked on the program also.
Before the former, Maj. Gen. Hen
ry H. Arnold, chief of the Army
Air Corps, announced plans for es-
tablishing four new pilot training
centers, with a capacity for 1000
students each annually. And,
speaking of aircraft types, he said

Elsewhere, the town was abuzz
with developments related to the
defense program:
ID A White House secretary said
he had no knowledge concerning
reports that President Roosevelt
would form a coalition cabinet
including several republicans, be-
cause of national concern over the
war and the defense situation.
co Some Republicans in Con-
gress supported the statement of

the defense program, while Mrs.
Roosevelt called Lindbergh's ref
