· London, To-day. The “News Chronicle” de- clares that the mounting of- fensive is the most formidable ever staged in the history of war and the situation of the French, though not desper- ate, is very serious.
But in the very magnitude of the as- sault there is a ray of hope. It is now more certain than ever that Hitler is throwing into this battle everything he possesses in the hope he can achieve a decisive victory before the autumn. It is all or nothing for him.
Under the heading "Battle of Mil- lions" the "Dally Herald" states this is the sixth morning of the great battle in northern France.
"The conflict is terrible. The Issue hangs ominously in the balance... by now we know the French have yielded some ground in the centre and west. Such was inevitable. "So colossal an expenditure of arms and men by the enemy is bound to produce some effect.
"But if every 25 miles of French territory have to be won at this cost, how much longer can Germany keep up the pressure? Reuter.
