Your interest and mine must center today in the fate of the perhap.s half million allied soldiers trapped in Flanders and fighting for their lives against encircling Hitlerian forces which arc pressing frantically for the kill. It that the destruction of this great army would end the it ordinary reporLs from the theater of war grow dim in the presence of one of the great human dramas of all military history. No lyonger a Battle. We no longer are witnessing a battle. The conflict on the mud dy plains of Flanders has been i transformed into a seething, flaming, detonating, swirling a great whirlpool which before ir I has spun its horrid course may I have sucked down a million, Allied and German youth.

There are three points for us to watch today: 1. The whirlpool, of course, above all. 2. The German drive to capture the port of Dunkerque and the adjacent coast, thereby closing the mouth of the trap and cutting off the Allied escape by water. 3.

They more or less formed a hollow circle, and are fighting grimly keep their line intact w'hile an effort is made to withdraw not only the men but the very valuable material towards the coast. This whole area must be a blazing hell, for apart from the terrible ground fighting, both airforces are pouring bombs into the milling mass below-.

Even if these hundreds of thou.sands of allied men can fight their way to the coast the slaugh- ter will be terrific, and the chances of getting away by sea be bright. It would take a big fleet of ships to transport this force to England, and it requires little imagination to fore-see the terrible battle which would ensue over and on the channel.
