French people a gray event. This
event occurred last night. Franco
can no longer count on the Bel
gian army.
"Since a. m. Tuesday, (7 p. m.
PST Monday) . the French army
and the British army have been
fighting alone in the north
against the enemy.
,. Ton know what the situation
was.
"After the rapture of our front
May 14, the German army filtered
between our armies, which found
themselves broken into two
groups, one to the north and the
other to the south.
"On the south it is the French
divisions which are holding the
new front following the Somme
and Aisne rivers and then rejoiri-
ing Intact the Maglnot line.
"In the north was a group of
three armies the Belgian army,
the British expeditionary cbrps
and several French divisions In
which many of us have loved
ones.
"This gTeup of three- armies
was under the command of Gen
eral Blanchard. It was supplied
via Dunkerque. The French and
British armies were defending
this port on the south and west,
the Belgian army on' the north.
"It was this Belgian army
which has just brusquely capitu
lated unconditionally on the field
of battle on the order of its king
, without warning their -French
' and British comrades in combat,
opening the way to Dunkerque
to the Germans.
"Eighteen days ago this same
king sent us a call for help. To
this appeal we replied following
the plan which had been estab
lished last December by the allied
general staffs.
PARIS, May 28-(AP via radio)
Premier Paul Reynaud told his
countrymen today in an address
awaited with world wide interest
that France's "faith in victory is
still intact."
"The French troops are holding
now along the line of the Somme
river," he said.
His speech lasted less than five
minutes.
The premier said that "all
France Is thinking of her soldiers
at this extremely grave hoar."
"The French people and her
soldiers make one solid block."
he said, declaring that the French
army was holding against German
pressure along the Somme river
line.
"We shall continue to fight on
despite the tremendous difficul
ties we are now experiencing. The
unfortunate circumstances of the
present time will not prevent us
from going on.
"We shall go forward to vic
tory." Farley to' Speak

except that the military and po
litical situation had been re
viewed, it was known' that France
waa .greatly concerned over the
likelihood of Italy's entering the
war. - ' .
In bitter fighting throughout
the night the Germane appeared
to be slowly widening the gap be
tween the French army, south
along the Somme and the allied
armies trapped In Flanders, above
the nasi salient to the sea.
Having fallen back during the
day, the allies were making their
stand along a new line defending
the channel.
The German high command
said Its armies, striving to snap
the steel trap on approximately
1,000,000 allied troops in Flan
ders, were pounding at the his
toric World war sector orYpres,
Belgium, after storming across
the River Lys at several points.
In crossing the Lys, the Ger
mans broke through the last river
barrier separating them from the
channel porta of Ostend and Zee-
brugge.
The biting jaws of the nasi
pincers in the Yprea sector
threatening to sever the eastern
arm of the allied forces already
encircled in northern France and
Belgium were reported only IS
miles apart.
French troops fell back under
the terrific impact of the nasi as
saults, which swept In ware after
wave apparently heedless of man
power losses, and took a new
stand in the sector north of Va
lenciennes, west of the Scheldt
river. Here was the main target
of the nasi fury, driving from the
east toward Ypres and from the
southwest towards Lille.
Simultaneously, the Germans
widened by approximately 15
miles the northern side of their
vital "bottleneck" of their consi
der to the English channel.
The French admitted that this
feed-line" to nasi troops now
swarming along the e h a n n e 1
coast had been deepened to ex
tend now between Peronne and
Arras.
Previously, the "neck" ran
from peronne only to Bapaume,
a distance of 20 miles with the
French central army crossinr the
Somme river to establish bridge
heads at several points, thereby
menacing the slender opening of
the German salient to the sea.
But while the nails bulged
their corridef northward. Gener
alissimo Maxima Weygand's cen
tral army In northern France sig
nalled the start of an intensive
lower Jaw" thrust against the
salient by capturing "several
villages and other points" on the
Simme river.
In the quickening battle for
mastery of the English channel.
the fate of Calais potential base
for German invasion of England,
just 22 miles across the straits of
Dover was still In doubt.
North of Calais, the channel
port Of Dunkerque was in flames,
fired by German bombs in an
attempt to destroy a likely em
barkation point in case of British
withdrawal from the continental
battle scene.
Meanwhile. .. emphasizing the
darkening situation in the Medi
terranean, the British embassy
in Rome advised its nationals
they had "better go" to avoid
being caught in the whirlpool of
an apparently imminent Italian
declaration of war.
While the French retreated to
reform their lines In Flanders,
British tommies supported by
French tanks successfully counter-attacked
against massed Ger
man troops in a day marked by
"violent attacks," a British com
munique said.
"The British front (in Flan
ders) remains Intact." the com
munique declared.
The British air ministry de
clared tnat in the past 24 hours
the royal air force destroyed or
damaged 28 nasi planes and dis
rupted German rail, road and
river traffic over a wide area in
the Rhineland.
To boost her armed strenrth
to 3,000,000, Britain called men
28 and 29 years old to register
ror army service next month.
