NO IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE SITUATION Germans Now Using Motor

Cycle Columns In Day

PARIS, May 21 (Reuter)-Up to a late hour yesterday the military situation had undergone no important changes since. Sunday,

A French military spokesman Indicated that the Ger-. mans had made no further progress except possibly north- west of the bulge. The threat there seems to be aimed at Cambrai.

"

This is perhaps the crucial sector for it is thought that the Germans are hoping by this push to cut off the Allied troops in Belgium and northern France.

A French-spokesman said yesterday that both the British and French tanks were in action in this sector.

there was heavy fighting east of Cambral. There is no clear cut Front here.

On the whole, the situation west of the. Sanibre and Olse Canal is very.confused.

Tanks on both sides are in- termingled in the combat."

Both the Germans and the Allies are making local ad- vances and retirement.

MOTOR CYCLE COLUMNS The Germans are now using motor cycle columns in a way in which they have not been employ- ed before. These are sent forward during the day and often with- drawn at night.

Four or "Ave. armoured divisions ard-belleved to be employed in this particular sector alone.

They have suffered considerable losses and must be feeling" the strain. On the whole, however, they are still pushing forward.

However the Germans are en- countering resistance everywhere.

German attacks on the Aisne River at Montmedy show that they are still trying to widen the bulge southwards and break its southern shoulder

Attempts to cross the Aisne River have only been local surprise' at- tacks and only ofic or two units have got across.

On Sunday these were mended up during the night by the French. It is indicated in Paris that Al- though in this sector the fighting is, comparatively speaking small.. yet it would be important if the enemy established points south of the river...

OUTPOST ATTACKED

On Sunday, the Germans claim- At Montmedy the Germans are ed that they had taken St. Quen-battering away at a northern out- tin. This seems to have been a post of the Maginot Line and par- premature claim. Yesterday. they ticularly at Montmedy bridge-head claimed to be beyond St. Quentin where strong infantry attacks are and pushing towards Feronne. supported by heavy artillery fire.

RESISTANCE EVERYWHERE French sources, however, say that

All the attacks have been re- pulsed with heavy losses. The Get- mans have only taken one small block house and one of the most advanced positions in front of the

Line.

South of Mcntmedy there is still

The railway bridge at Roux sustained a direct hit, and damage was done to rolling stock and the permanent way. Troops and tank concentrations were attacked in. the Aisne sector, while near Sedan a lorry park was set on fire,

From all these operations, involving a large number of R.A.F. bombers, only two fall- ed to return despite intense enemy anti-aircraft fire.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE

A large number of enemy alr craft there were repeatedly bombed and machine-gunned by relays of Hudson aircraft.

Their main task has been in connection with the battle of Sedan which the French papers already call the biggest the world' has ever known. The action of the advance air striking force nas been to bomb, bomb and bomb again without cessation, German supplies,bridge, heads and so on. The French and British air forces have done this work. They have also backed up the French ground troops which stood up to the first great rush.

ANOTHER TASK Today they have another task. Supplies, particularly of petrol, are coming up to the Nazi armorт- ed columns. The All'ed air forces are taking what may yet prove to be a decisive action. They have already had great deal of suc- cess. They

also bombed petrol stores at Bremen and other

cities.

All day long our fighter aircraft have been called upon to engage with the superior forces of the enemy to drive off formations of bombers which continually harass the Allied troops and to attack their fighter escorts.

After almost every engagement they return after having inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Then they immediately take off again to renew the struggle.
