Stockholm, To-day.
THE "TIDNINGEN” points out that even if the Al- lied northern army is defeated the principal con- test will remain between the Germans and forces to a large extent intact and reorganised under General Weygand.
Meanwhile it is by no means certain that a success- ful invasion of England is possible. The Ger- mans could land a large number of parachutists without difficulty but they would be compara- tively useless unless supported by large forces of troops as in Holland.
Britain after all is an island and this fact remains unaffected to the extent alleged by German propaganda.
An invading army cannot fly over the Channel. It must land from ships,

It. seems probable that the Ger- mans do not intend to occupy Bri- tain but rather expect to blockade the country."
This is also a serious threat but it must be remembered that the British Isles have also a North Sea and west coast.
Dangerous Situation
Britain's situation is dangerous but one must not expect a rapid decision by an attack across the Channel.
In Geneva, the "Tribune de Geneve" says that in the double offensive against England and the new French defence line Germany will come up against resistance ten times greater, and her terrible losses incurred, hith- erto only give a feeble idea of the battle which lies ahead.
If the Allies this time have not repeated the
Marne victory they have anyway regained the Verdun spirit.
The "National Zeitung" of Berne says that whatever happens to the northern armies the war is not by any means settled. The decisive battle. is only just beginning.-Reuter.
