"GERMANY DIRECTS
THRUST AT CALAIS
Claims to Have Bombed Channel Port of Dover While Allies Attack Flanks of Narrow Corridor In Northern France. {Continued from Page One)
raided (nine or 10 were reported arrested, including Mos-
ley), that 167 Irish Republican Army members had been deported, that Capt. Archibald Ramsay, a member of Parliament, had been imprisoned under the defense act and that others had been ordered detained because of membership in organizations which might be used against the national security. France reported the arrest of 49 former Communists suspected of Trojan Horse activities. 5. The British Government announced consultations with Eire to guard against the possibility of a German invasion of Ireland to secure a base for attack on England. A furious battle was in progress in the area around Cambrai and Valenciennes, along Belgium's “Little Maginot Line.” Vicious, close-in fighting was said by the French to be taking place at the outskirts of Cambrai, 95 miles north of Paris, 20 miles from the Belgian border. The British reported that fighting of equal violence was going on a short distance to the west between Arras and Baupaume and that their troops were holding their own. German dive bombers swarmed down on the Allied troops in an effort to break up a counter-attack-and Allied airplanes swooped low over the German lines to the rear in an effort to break up communication lines.
Nazis Concentrate on Channel Drive
The British High Command said the Germans had attacked along the line of the Scheldt in western Belgium and had forced a crossing of the river at Audenarde. The Germans said their drive in this region was now beginning to pick up speed. On the southern flank of the German corridor, the French said the positions were unchanged except for smallscale infiltration of mobile units in the vicinity of Amiens. “Artillery duels were going on in the east at Attiguy, Longuyon and lied. The German lligh Command indicated that its efforts were now concentrated in the Channel sector. In addition to the reported bombing of Dover, Dunkerque on the French side was raided and there was heavy aerial activity over the narrow waters of the Channel and its approaches. The Germans said three transports and a tanker totaling 20,000 tons had been sunk and a destroyer damaged. A London source indicated that the German report of the bombing of some Channel ports was correct. .He said that the ports still could be used but only at certain times) (presumably at night) and that they had not been bombed | so severely as to make them untenable. Paris announced the loss of the submarine Doris, the | destrover Adroit and the supply ship Niger, off the Low, Countries. The French war Cabinet decided to permit no

Duce Still Uncertain
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor PARIS, May 23.—Information reaching here is that Mussolini, disturbed rather than pleased by the Nazi armies’ rapid advance, is becoming inc-easingly hesitant over his next move. Sources in close touch with Rome and the Vatican say that Il Duce has been sobered by President Roosevelt's continuing pressure and by the Pope’s insistence that Italy should not enter the war. It must be repeated, however, that — So {no one—not even his son-in-law, Count Cilano—knows pretisely what
