To Perfection In France

LONDON, June 3 (Reuter)--Praise for the B.E.F. continues to be expressed by the British press, and The Times, in a leading article commenting on, the evacuation, takes the opportunity to praise the organisation' on the British side of the Channel.
The paper writes that "from the beginning of the German offensive in the west until now the British army in France has had an incredibly difficult and thankless part to play and has played it to perfection.
It has had to execute first a rapid advance, accomplished with a precision and degree of immunity to the loss that testified abundantly to the organisation of the Force, and then a series of strategie withdrawals imposed upon it, not by reverses on its own front but by events elsewhere
