MILES OF TANK TRAPS

On the coaStlineS of Britain
there has been erected a feFH4id-
able series of defense lines 10 STOP
the German frontal assault. The
interior mobile defenses will take
care of the parachutists and air
troop carrier landings.
These coastal defenses consist of
miles of tank traps. mined water
approaches and beach defenSes.
PillboXeS, coastal defense guns,
barbed wire entanglements and
land mines guard the beaches.
j Behind lies the artillery. the
armored divisions and the mobile
support troops. The interior is a
maze of tank traps, airplane land
ing barriers and troop concentra-
tons.
If the Germans succeed in es-
tablishing bridgehead l believe
il will be in the Dover area. the
narrowest point in the channel.
where the cliffs of Dover and the
cliffs of Calais are only % miles
apart. They probably will attempt
to make landings at every favor
able point from Scotland down 10
Lands End. for when they come
they are sure to come in the most
overwhelming force. in every
barge and ship they can find to
float--and they have tens of thou
sands of them.
They will move behind screen
OF dive bombers and high flying
bombers. The sky will literally be
filled with planes seeking to blast
a path before them.
But their task will be a painful
one, and the English Channel will
be red with the blood of German
youth. -

Britain. with lightning rapidity,
has modified. trained and re-
equipped a new army TO defend
the English islands against Htt-
ler's coming invasion.
Starting from absolute scratch,
Britain has thrown up a Gordon
of powerful. mobile defenses that
will make Germany's attempt
costly in tho extreme, If not an
abject failure.
In the SIX months since Dun
kirk and the French collapse,
the work that has been accom-
plished is little short of miracle.
England LOST an army's equip
ment in the Flanders debacle, but
II saved an army. The equipment
doesn't matter. The men do.
