Invasion Date Set


British and American experts
have fixed a fresh date for Hit
ler's attempted knockout blow at
England. Now they look for him
to stage an attack in Cretan
style in late July or early
August.
Hitler has about ESQ divisions
OF well-trained and equipped
blitzers. He used only about 80
in his Balkan and Mediterranean
campaigns. He did not weaken
his present air force appreciably
IN those battles. Militarily, he
is still powerful enough to make
the try, while hopping up in the
Middle East. Indeed, circum-
stances at home and abroad may
force him 10 II.
Britain will be getting better
armed each month through the
summer and autumn, provided
American equipment reaches her
in the quantities planned. Should
the war drag through another
winter. Der Fuehrer's chance for
a complete victory may vanish
In spite OF exultation over the
series OF military successes. the
German people are expected TO
be fed up with hsrdships, the in
creaSingly drastic controls and
the continued absence Of their
menfolk. The Hess and Bis
marck episodes lowered their
spirits. Lastly, they fear that
