Egypt Moves itflivilians From Border Towns

ALEXANDRIA, May 13.—(CP)—— Egypt began removing civilian pop- t ulntic-ns of all strategic ivestern ideserr. towns along the Libyan fron-

itier today. The Military Governor ordered of all

homes at three important. centres. Mersa. Matruh, Sldi Barranl 1nd Sollum.

It was in furtherance of Egypt's preparations "for all emergencies and surpriscs"-—with s. view to a possible war move by Ita y.

Tonight, was the last night of ell-Egyptian blackouts in the test of defence against aircraft, but of- ficials announced that the blackout would continue in Cairo and other cities. '

Anti-British demonstrations ln Rome contributed to uneasiness.

‘The Allied warfleet, engulfed to- day in a "dust-out" as a swirling simdstorm limited visibility to n few hundrcd feet, apparently was scheduled for a long stay here.

The concentration was described as the greatest Aliied armada as-

sembled since war gun. The French and British commanders maintained on attitude that "we

are ready for anything, anywhere, anytime the Italians move."

LONDON. May Royal Air Force planes shot down 40 German mat-nines over The Netherlands and Bel- gium today, bringing Britain‘: share in Hitler's 400 airplane losses in 3 1-2 days of intensive warfare to 135.

The aerial war reached a nBW peak of activity as the Allied and German forces wrestled furiously for mastery of the skies and Allied land and sea forces linked with Ilollanders and Belgians in the first stage of one of the biggest bottles of history.

Throughout last night and today the Royal Afr Fnroe rained bombs on German troops Inside and outside (icrmfln territory, attacked their sup- ply columns and impeded their movements, in cooperation with Allied land forces.

As Paris announced the with-

drawal of Allied forces to pre- pured positions, an authorita- tive source here warned the pepole not to be disheartened when they hear of "certain withdrawals." This source de- clared the Germans niID-‘Tenlly an staking “almost everything in an attempt to win the war quickly."
