Morale or saith?“ High Des-

pite Grave Situation—Allies Show Ever Increasing Deter- mination To Iiig_h_t To Victory.

' (By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, May Z8—(CP Cable)—The British Expedi- tionary Force in Flanders tonight was engaged furiously with Germans in a drive aimed at penetrating southward to joill the main French army which pressed a rescue drive front the Somme.

When Leopold III, King of the Belgians, sheathed his IWOFII early this morning and ordered the “cease fire" to he soullded throughout his army, he placed in extreme jeopardy thousands of the finest troops in the British and French armies and all of their equipment.

GERMANS ON THREE SIDES

ntlrrotinded on three sides by the German invaders. ind their flank exposed by the surrender of Leopold, these llll'll must fight their way through the German wail to joill Iorccs with the French on the Somme front-or perish in the attempt.

'l‘hcl'e. were only two other possibilities open to Gen- Pfill lllllllchzlrd. the French commander and his collea ue, dent-rat Viscount Gort. the British commander. The‘ rst is inlpossible-surrender. The second is believed to be too hazardous to be undertaken with any hope of success- cvtlvtlation by sea after fighting their way to the coast.

B. E. F. MORALE HIGH

ll “its agreed on all sides here that the Ii.E.F. is in a precarious position btit it was also emphasized that its confidence and morale tire high and its fighting strength ulldilllillishcd by two weeks of campaigning.

Ill addition to that. the main French army is intact and in :l strategic position to render valuable assistance to the trapped forces in the north with the backing of the air ind naval forces of Britain anti France. =>-.... . _ And behind those military forces is the ever-increasing determination of the British and French people to fight and keep on matter what grief, perils or sacrifices lie ahead.
